Patcher Issues

So my friend is having some issues where the launcher doesn't seem to update, I asked him what version he was one but the space for the version number was blank like this:

Eastern Front Version:
Launcher Version: [IP address redacted]
Launcher Author: Will Waywell (Hawk)
Author's Website: www.gsclan.co.uk

We were able to play together before it updated so I assume hes on like 1.7.1, is there any way to download the patch other than the launcher cause I looked around an I couldn't find anything.

Thanks

Please note if you are (for example) [IP address redacted], you need to download (and install) [IP address redacted], [IP address redacted] and then finally [IP address redacted] in the correct order.
