Every patch is an overnight proposition for me lately. I'm a lifetime sub since launch, but the past 4 months or so have been idiotic getting to the patch server. Are you east coast, Kojiro? I'm wondering if that's the problem.
I am having exactly the same problem. Began Friday. Yes, I'm Verizon FiOS. Tried running the executable w/o the launcher and couldn't connect to the account server, either.
