I would expect an announcement to be made shortly regarding the availability of a download from the Novalogic FTP site.
But this file will only be necessary if you uninstall the game for any reason. All other updates will auto install provided the user is logged in as Administrator in Windows and then subsequently logs into Novaworld to play.
Here is a list of GDC codes which may appear in the event of a login or other failure:

For now there is a work around (only needed if you reinstall joint ops)
1. download this file pb.rar
2. extract/unzip it
3. you should now have a folder called pb with loads of files and folders inside it
4. copy all the files and folders inside the pb folder and paste them into your pb folder in joint ops (normally at C:\Program Files\NovaLogic\Joint Operations Typhoon Rising\pb)
5. all done, enjoy playing
i will update this if/when a new update is required.
