I had the emulation problem when I downloaded the patch the day it came out. I asked for help on the US site and someone told me to uninstall the freetime game and reinstall it. I was worried that I would lose my legacy family and didn't really want to do that - but I couldn't play the game and saw no alternative.
I did uninstall and reinstalled (didn't lose any of my legacy) and the game has run fine since.
