unable to acces version check

A friend of mine is getting this message "unable to acces version check" after he inputs his username and password to log in, then the patcher goes back to its original state. He is playing the PC version with win 7 ultimate 64-bits, he says he was able to play during AE but then this started to happen, he says he fixed it afterwards by using his friend's patcher file but then about 3 days ago, it started to happen again and he can't fix it this way anymore.

If anyone know of a fix or has any suggestion that may help, we would really appreciate any. Thanks in advance.

Uninstall it and reinstall it. I know with the PC (I play on console) there was an older version of the launcher that needed to be uninstalled and you needed to re-install the new one. That error is what many get when they don't have the latest one installed. I can't remember the details.. let me find you a link.
