Looks as if it cannot update the files. What's your UAC setting?

Hello,

I also had this problem, and managed to fix it.  I had to copy/paste the patch.exe before it was deleted by the updater.  It is downloading to Users\<USER>\Outerra\update\appdata  Just have to run Outerra.exe and let it download the patch,  and then Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V the file as soon as it finishes downloading and before it is deleted.  It took me a couple tries.

Now that you have the patch copy, you can go into Program Files(x86)\Outerra and delete outerra.exe.

Running the patch.exe will now actually complete and you can run the game.

Ok, I found that even though the patches are marked to require admin level, the updater itself wasn't, and so it wasn't able to update some files in Program Files, for people using UAC.
