Any base game that came out before September 2012 don't need Origin to launch the game with unless that user had updated to the 1.69 patch. the older base game that came out before September 2012. As james64468 has said that you can check all of them and still play the game the way that you want to play.Īnd my guess is that since you just got into playing TS3 that you probably have the newer base game where you need Origin to launch the game with vs. It's only doing that because the launcher thinks that you would get optimal game play by leaving some of them out.
