Not sure what any of it means, i hope someone here does.

On the normal faf thing it says that the file wasnt properly sent by the server.

I tried to unistal and reinstal FAF to see if that works, but now i cant open FAF at all. If i try and load it it says i am using an outdated version of faf and it needs to update, which i do, but then will reload it and it says it again...

I feel the pain, i too am getting this error. My version is 12.1, but it refuses to recognize the update.

Please try directly downloading and using the installer from https://github.com/FAForever/client/releases/tag/0.12.1 .
