Many reasons why that happens so it cant be said ;) Most of the time its nothing but in ur case it is a long term thing ;)

I think in some way it cant save ur profile n ur old one got deleted or something :S
Try unistalling (i know u have :P Read futher plz ;)) then rebooting then installing the game n the upgrade then running the game ....
That should work *-)
