View Full Version : Need to patch Showtime MANUALLY

I hate the way EA have made it really difficult to manually patch the game. EA's Download Manager or Origin will NOT work through our network due to a proxy/firewall.
For the other games like Late Night and the Base Game, I've used the Wiki here to help me manually patch the game. But there's no links to Showtime patches here, so how can I patch Showtime?
Any help's greatly appreciated.

There are no patches for Showtime. EA have stopped doing EP patches altogether now - they only release patches for the basegame.

Thanks for the reply.
I am slightly confused because I did have to patch Late Night expansion pack manually...
But if that's true then does this mean that I have to repatch the game all over again after installing Showtime?
Or does it install patches for all the expansions regardless whether you have them or not?

You need only install the base game patch - if there is no separate EP patch listed, then there isn't one. Installing the separate EP patches appears to no longer be required at all (even if there are ones listed).

Fixed. Thanks for the help.
Appears it needed administrative rights, and was already up to date anyway, you were right, didn't need to patch Showtime. Only Late Night needed to be patched as well as the base game.
I appreciate all the help and am sorry for annoying anyone with a simple problem.
