greetings,
As was stated, check the MWO game start icon.
(right click)
- select properties
- you should now be on the shortcut tab
- select advanced
- check off the box "run as administrator"
Also look at
- right click on the start icon
- select 'open file location'
- takes you to the Bin32 folder
- select the folder there "PatcherLogs"
- from there you should see a folder named 'backups' and 3 text files
- selecting the 'bootstrap_patcher_log.txt' should open a small text file
- it should have the info on the last patch # you installed. (#26 was last patch)
- select the 'frontend_Patcher_Log.txt' next, this should show the steps the patch installer completed.
Here's the example of some of this last patch:

(there is more but not filling up the page on the 'applying' and creating a backup, removing backup file lists.)
For Win7 systems if the game icon is set to run as Admin there should be a small shield icon on the bottom right of the icon.
(depending on what your display or theme is set to.)
If the game always wants to download the current patch, it's not being saved. And needs to place the info in a temporary location which is wiped when you log off.
(your operating as a 'User' and not an admin with full rights to most if not all the systems locations.)
- sometimes, but not always, a new MWO Patch install will overwrite the 'Run as Admin' settings and will need to be 'redone'. (simple to check)
If you moved the install location this may also have some issues with the Patch, as it's looking in it's 'default' install location and does not see the patch information.
See if that helps,
