game refuses to update to 1.3e.. windows 8?

[Xemnes]

hi i just recently installed windows 8 and attempted to install maniaplanet, i pressed play on the launcher and the game downloaded 1.3e. next it closed and just restarted the launcher and i press play and it says i still need to update to 1.3e... now in the past i remember the updater appearing telling me i need admin privileges to update and that always appeared before the launcher reappearing now the updater doesnt appear at all... this has happened when i updated to windows 8, ive uninstalled and reinstalled the game, redownloaded and then reinstalled but nothing works... as the update is mandatory, i cant get past it which means im unable to play.... anyone able to help me? i have AVG antivirius and disabled that too aswell as disabling the firewall.

Have you tried to launch the launcher (and maybe maniaplanet.exe also) as an administrator (right click on "maniaplanetlauncher.exe" and "Run as an administrator")?

Have you installed or upgraded your computer to Windows 8?

its a fresh install, tried reinstalling now, still not working... where can i download the manual patch?

yet there was a link someone gave above me that stated i should try that instead? so are you saying i cant play the game anymore..?

go to your player page
https://player.maniaplanet.com
under account tab/downloads you will find the minimal install exe file link

try installing this and see if it fixes your problem

hope this helps
