MODIS package's runGdal() returns error: dataFormat='GTiff', format not supported

Hello everyone,

I'm having problems with the MODIS package, specifically, the runGdal()
command after the recent update to R 3.2.5. The error I get is this:

Error in runGdal(product = product, begin = dates$beginDOY, end =
dates$endDOY, : in argument dataFormat='GTiff', format not supported by
GDAL type: 'gdalWriteDriver()' (column 'name') to list available inputs

I'm not quite sure why this is happening, and I haven't found a solution
online. Does anyone have an idea? The package was working fine before I
upgraded R from 3.1.1. to 3.2.5, QGIS from 2.12.3 to 2.14.1 and RStudio to
version 0.99.467.

My details are below, thanks for the assistance:
