Assuming you didn't get this fixed last night, check your list of 
processes running. The downloader left several zombies running on my 
system that kept the next updater from working properly. As soon as I 
nuked the zombie launchers the next update worked fine.

General info - was able to load in and do everything I normally would in 
game, run randoms, etc. with no problems using wine 1.3.1, Fedora 13, 
nvidia 6150se, nvidia driver 256.53.
