They won't allow access to the patch server till they have checked that the live game Works, do you really want to reinstall cause they find a late bug on the live servers and have to roll back till its fixed.

So you are stuck on examine programs as there is no remote version check as we don't have access to it yet.

Forget patching till much later, its 6-7am there currently so they have only just started. This isn't a quick job.
