I'm unable to install the latest patch as of Aug 24, 2010. Backstory is I've been playing Going Rogue for a few days with no issues. This same thing happened to me during beta test: in for a few days, then the patch system stopped working and I lost access to the game. Space is not an issue on this computer (279GB free). I don't know about the folder permissions, though I did note recently that Windows is asking to verify my permissions if I modify anything in the screenshots or client_demos folders, and didn't do that before. The computer is a ASUS laptop running Microsoft Vista.

Any ideas?

Fixed. After writing that message I thought about it and realized my image editor likely had put a lock on the screenshots folder. Shutting that program down fixed the issue.
