There are normally compatibilty problems when applying patches - since they rewrite parts of existing files, using a patch not specifically for your game version will almost be guaranteed to corrupt your files.

I would definitely check directly with EA tech support, since there may be localization differences in your game files.

US = Asia-Pacific.

Different label, that's all: the content is bit for bit identical.

I reside in Australia, so I applied the US v3 patch to the Asia-Pacific version, no worries - even the sound is a little bit better, bit better.
