Yah. Not using the Launcher, I suppose I ought to follow the news on patches more keenly. Brain was still running on fumes when I was trying to fix the issue, but three cups of tea later, the camelliaceous goodness reached my dehydrated brain cells and I had a eureka moment.
Can this thread now be decently interred in RL where it belongs. (Where we can argue the spelling of camelliaceous with MOAR fight.)
What does the Luncher have to do with it? Just patch manual. All of the windows patches have been linked to, and I'm sure someone somewhere has the address for the mac one by now.
