you should see this

<Version>
Version 2
Language 1
Region 2
EulaAgreement 1
StartupCompleted 1
B4EulaAgreement 1

the line in bold is the key change the 0 to a 1 and it forces it to check version upon opening the launcher.
That did the job, thank you very much. ^^ I should note that the line you wanted in bold didn't format, so I'll make a note of it seperately in case anyone else gets confused.

The "BootVersionCheckMode" value should be set to 1, not 0, and that should do the trick.

I should probably have looked there in hindsight, but you know what frustration towards an issue can do to you. XD
