Whenever I go to close The Sims 3 game launcher, it says that it has encountered a problem and needs to close. Is anyone else having this issue? Here's the report: Code: Version=1 EventType=APPCRASH EventTime=129432250795508079 ReportType=2 Consent=1 UploadTime=129432250797692083 ReportIdentifier=80cf6aef-41e5-11e0-b59b-99c329510f16 WOW64=1 Response.BucketId=2293632253 Response.BucketTable=1 Response.type=4 Sig[0].Name=Application Name Sig[0].Value=Sims3Launcher.exe Sig[1].Name=Application Version Sig[1].Value=0.1.0.1089 Sig[2].Name=Application Timestamp Sig[2].Value=4cfff9f3 Sig[3].Name=Fault Module Name Sig[3].Value=unknown Sig[4].Name=Fault Module Version Sig[4].Value=0.0.0.0 Sig[5].Name=Fault Module Timestamp Sig[5].Value=00000000 Sig[6].Name=Exception Code Sig[6].Value=c0000005 Sig[7].Name=Exception Offset Sig[7].Value=0c114288 DynamicSig[1].Name=OS Version DynamicSig[1].Value=6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 DynamicSig[2].Name=Locale ID DynamicSig[2].Value=1033 UI[2]=C:\Program Files (x86)\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3 Outdoor Living Stuff\Game\Bin\Sims3Launcher.exe UI[3]=Sims3Launcher has stopped working UI[4]=Windows can check online for a solution to the problem.

Okay, so the problem is EA Download Manager. Any update for EA that claims to have fixed an issue with crashing actually ends up crashing the launcher. I'm using version 7.3.6.1 with no problem. Try installing this version if any of you are having the same launcher crash issue.
