I have the exact same issue. I get this spam for several updates and the bot is no longer working after the last patch.

Everyone in the discord says that they have no problem updating the bot and playing. I cannot play. When I try to load the bot it tells me to update the bot and crashes out the client. This is my first update since becoming a user.

Same for me.  This is likely the first I have updated/played in a month so the time is about the same.  I have disabled Windows Defender and get the same response.  If I do get through and try to attach the bot it says "Unable to connect to authentication server, check your internet connection".
