    you gotta reinstall it. at a point some months back (when i still played (sorry)) i had that problem too for ... a long time... -.- had to reinstall every time they threw a patch at us. just make a backup on a portable drive and uninstall then move it to your computer. done is done

    Don't reinstall. Right-klick on launcher, choose "Run as admin" and that should solve it. Been there done that.
