Tried uninstalling, reinstalling, running as admin. And anything I could think of. No luck. Any ideas? It pops up a "view log" button, read through it best I could, but heads nor tails of sense. |
"HTTP status 403: The client does not have sufficient access rights to the requested server object."
This may sound silly and may not be related to the problems you are having, but have you checked to make sure that your Date and Time are correct on your computer?
If the game spit out 20 dollar bills people would complain that they weren't sequentially numbered. If they were sequentially numbered people would complain that they weren't random enough.

Anyways, yeah, mine is the correct time and date for where I am located.

Yes, it could matter. Some servers refuse to allow connections when the date and time are too far out of range. In most cases that I've seen it's an attempt at software piracy prevention, or at least an attempt to not allow counterfeit versions of software to be updated.|

Since I've seen it occur using ASP and .Net both, and knowing that the Launcher uses .Net, it was a possibility.
Most of the other searches I find for that specific error message are issues dealing with WSUS, NDS, LDAP, Silverlight, BITS and MIME types, and even downloading and installing Resident Evil 5 of all things.
This may be something you need to contact Support about if no one can offer a quick solution. It's the first time I've seen this reported with this game.

I went ahead and e-mailed support. Hopefully this gets solved soon, as I'm really wanting to try this out.
I managed to find an old install disc and just used that. For some reason it's still not playing nice with the launcher. But it's atleast patching now.
This is just an FYI.
The trickle download portion of the launcher uses BITS. I had an annoying time trying to kill this background download which will continue even with the launcher not running as well as after a reboot. It was a problem for me because I'm still on dial-up and aquired my copy of the last huge patch from another player (glad the patch hangs around) so I was up to date but the trickle download kept running.
