Yeah, a real legend, a legend in his own mind.
How many Eric's does it take to screw in a lightbulb, I'm not sure, for the past 2 hours he's been trying to relight the one that went out, one match after the other.
I really hated Eric in the original version. However, the later story line after his gone was not good enough.
A story without Eric was too loose and boring. Now I think he's a necessary evil.

That was the reason why he was added to being with...
Though I feel the most annoying thing about him is how quickly the girls turn away from Max. I mean, Ann I understand, but Lisa and Alice liturally started the path with Max's help but as soon as Eric says he will help, bam, the just drop Max instantly...
I feel its a bit too much of a sudden drop in relationship which was the cause of hate with the people that already understood Eric's role in the game...
I had exactly same issue as you. I protected Alice from punishment about 10 times, but there were no sign of spanking. Only one attempt came at the smoking scene, but Alice ignored it without any regards. And there were no allocated progress at all. After I installed the latest patch, I could access the scene. Firstly, it starts from night 22:00 TV scene with Alice. She promised later meeting, and the smoking scene shows a new choice.

This is what gets me too. 99% of the time NTR doesn't bother me but I accept it bothers some people. Thats why devs usually give players a choice to avoid it. The problem here is how stupidly fast Eric gains influence at the expense of Max's. Even though there really aren't a lot of scenes of Eric with the girls, if you really are on a path to avoid him it becomes a monumental grind just to keep up. This made me resent the very presence of the character. I don't even want to play the friendship or pretend paths anymore. I just want him gone. And I don't really care if the story and content suffers for it.
Honestly I'm looking forward to see where this is going but I can't help thinking that with the current direction, it would make a lot more sense if Eric was the MC and we could shape his dialogue and actions. As it stands I can't find any redeeming qualities to him. He's not interesting or likeable. Neither the friendship or war path, either helping or sabotaging him, feels rewarding at this point. He's just an annoyance in my opinion. Just my 2 cents.

Honestly. I feel the dev of this version is in a VERY good position to act on the ability to make Eric more of an interesting antagionist other than the "You can't do anything until you finally can" stuff the original had for Eric.
Delay tactics, Interceptions, Better methods to mitigate the influcence gain/loss. Things like that which would make Eric more of an interesting interaction. I don't know.
Main thing is more a case of having the Girls (not including Ann or Kira cause of reasons) being more willing to work with Max in Slowing Eric's actions and attempts...
Perhaps a case of Max bringing the girls into a more understanding of how Eric is manipulating them or such by how quickly he is making Ann let them into their private lives. Give the girls a little more credit with how quickly they call BS on Max yet just fall for everything Eric does so quickly. Let us work on different methods, bring us a more united front against Erics control over Ann other than blackmail and/or other means which the original had...
I'm in the same predicament, what I've set up today is I'm loading my save file to my laptop later with patch, pass that event then transfer that save back to my phone (long... Yes, tedious... Yes) hoping it works still. Will let you know.
Now to deal with the Max vs (EVIL Scum) Eric situation. At this point of the game Max has the ability to get Alice, Lisa, and Kira on his side. I'll divide this for each of the ladies.
These are just some thoughts I had, and wanted to share. Of course if we ever get the much NEEDED Chocolate Chip Cookie opportunity Max WILL win without needing anything else.
Yes Max IS a pervert.. Yes, Max pushes the limits to get more (SEXY) fun.. NO, Max has NOT forced anything (just offered options).. OK, Max did Blackmail Alice with the Cigarettes, but it was for a GOOD cause.

That's a long one, after you installed all the cameras, keep using the stepladder to spy on the girls in the bathroom. Eventually he say his fans are missing out and the last camera will become available. Took me awhile to get that.
If she has accepted to sleep naked but then still sleeps in her underwear, put a spider in her bed at night. It might be a good idea to save at 0:00 and check Alice's room at 1:00, if she sleeps in her underwear, reload and put the spider.

Yes, at the moment that's it for this opportunity.
There have been 2 previews showing a bit how it will continue (one was a while ago where Max held the camera and showed Lisa and Alice a picture on it, "That's who did it" or so was the title, the other was shared on Sunday.

Just FYI there is 2 other things: 1: there is a way to short circuit the VERY EARLY stage of the game, but I think it is a bug in the code that allows it to happen (i.e. it is not game breaking and benefits the player) 2: it is not necessary to take the loan, BUT it is important as you said to wait for the loan to appear, research it, and then when it shows up as the option to take out a loan, THEN AND ONLY THEN buy the 2 items for Alice/Lisa respectively (no loan needed). Doing that will not break the game either.
