After days of frustration, having not been able to fly the Cygnus rescue mission (Crossbow jump and crash problem) I've finally realised why my Standoff Launcher wasn't checking for the update patch.
*I am not responsible for any damage this may cause your system, nor do I advocate connecting to the internet without proper anti-virus or firewall protection*
But for me, it was simply a matter of telling Norton to 'disable internet security' then restarting the launcher, seems my firewall was blocking the update the whole time.
The download update option appeared right away, and now the problem has been fixed thanks to the latest patch - thanks for that by the way guys, fantastic after-market service for a free game
Anyway, worked for me, just wanted to share that incase anybody else was having the same problem.
