Hello,
Thank you for your reply.
The weirdest thing happened. I downloaded the next newest version (4.8 update 2 -8929), I had to launch the game from game2.exe otherwise it kept trying to update to the newest version. Initially the result was the same, textures not loading.
I had to quit the game to remind myself how to take a screenshot in windows 11 (print screen isn't the default any more) and when I reloaded the game the textures loaded normally.
So I then allowed it to update scripts via the launcher and again when I launched the game the textures loaded fine.
So I cannot share a screenshot of the problem any more as it seems to have disappeared. I've tried uninstalling, reinstalling both in steam and the EA app version and the scripts applies and works without issue. (This is a good outcome, but I feel a bit of a fraud I cannot demonstrate the problem I was having)
The only thing I noticed is when I launched the 4.8 update 2 -8929 version, the second command prompt like screen seemed to take longer. When the same screen came up on the 4.8.3 version it is only up for a second but I did see the words "file or location not found"
Is there something with the newer version that meant it did not find the texture files to update and when I used an old version as you suggested that these files were updated? I would have assumed all the files would be deleted when I uninstall so not sure why I can go straight to the new version now.
So in summary your suggestions has fixed things, thank you.
If you want me to try anything else to see what might have happened please let me know.
