Do you have any antivirus on your PC like Microsoft Security Essentials? If so, your Realtime Protection antivirus might be preventing updates from going through--happened to me. I actually had to turn off realtime protection under settings and leave my PC in the red before the patch would go through--it's crazy. :x

What happens, exactly, when you try to update the game via the launcher? What is the exact error message if any?
