Since the other thread on this issue was closed with the massively helpful "use a proper copy of the game" advice...I am posting here. I have this exact same problem with the Amazon.com RETAIL DIGITAL DOWNLOAD version of this game. I put that in caps so everyone can see a RETAIL DIGITAL DOWNLOAD version of a game is a PROPER COPY. I came here for help. All I seem to be getting is people who don't seem to want to understand that the people having this problem ARE USING A REAL RETAIL COPY OF THE GAME. We are not using no-cd cracks or anything of that nature. So...does anyone have any ACTUAL contribution to make to this issue for those of us who are unable to play this game? There has got to be a way to get this working correctly. Unless we're just screwed.

I have the same issue as the OP and I HAVE a real copy. Purchased the Digital Download version from Amazon.com. Everytime I try to connect online I get a message that there is a new version available that is required to play online. My version is 1.66A. If I let the game take me to the download page, it simply takes me to None.com
