cant launch game, cant redownload client

after i got home from work and tried to launch the game i got a force close error, which then popped up immediately every subsequent time i tried to run the launcher.

when attempting to redownload the client it eventually crashes ("an error has occurred, restart launcher") every single time, forcing me to start the download over at the start, then crash, then start over, then crash, etc.

am i the only one experiencing this as of last nights patch?
