Since the update it won't work.
It downloads the patch and after it says "source file corrupted"
I hope this gets fixed! All I wanted from the update was to be able to switch weapons! Now I cant play at all :[

If the download finished, click the Gear button in the launcher to fix it. What's going on is that the download server is struggling to keep up with the heavy load at peak times with lots of players trying to download the game all at once, and it sometimes gets a little confused and sends out bad data. The Gear button will verify the file and redownload any corrupted parts.

so for me it just says Access Denied after the patch finishes the download and starts applying. and the gear button does not work. when click on it just tells me "verify not available while launcher is busy"

I had the same problem a couple of times, uninstalling the game, and running CCleaner twice until there was no error was the solution for me these times
