The changes from HTTP to HTTPS prevented any communications with the server at all, which meant the program could not determine the latest version of itself. The program could not know that an update would solve the problem.
Ooh yes I slightly recall that, and I saw it just now too.
By the way, I have always wondered why the Hazeron client isn't saved in the Launcher's folder. And it is not impossible to have the launcher update itself either, at least for Windows I have done so at work. Lots of fun to program by the way, once you know all the pit falls.
Not saying this is any kind of a priority, but maybe it would be nice to do some day. However I know that Steam will likely want you to not use the documents folder anymore either, so you are likely going to be making changes in the future anyway.
