Can't link in CCP thread any link, says HTML not allowed. Also it would just get suppressed inside all the "spamming" going on the thread and people wont find it.

While ive downloaded patches this way before, it doesnt seem to want to update the launcher at all. I keep getting a good ol fashioned "abort retry ignore" message when it goes to do it...

Just make, double, triple sure to check that you apply the "patch" to your actual Eve Online installation folder and don't start from desktop icons etc, but straight from inside the folder that has the patch in it to make absolutely sure you launch correct one.

Are you receiving any errors?

Scammers are currently selling killrights on this toon for up to 5mil, if you have paid for this service demand your money back at once.

Killing me should be for free.

I ran the update and the launcher broke. After a little digging it looks like it didn't update my eve launcher shortcut on my desktop.

I went into my Eve directory and grabbed the launcher shortcut from there and now it is working just fine.

That would indicate that files are in use that are being written over at. Open your Task Manager in Windows or use "ps -aux | grep Eve" in Linux and Kill all processes like the Eve Launcher and Client.

Exactly, you can't trust any shortcuts now. Everyone should make sure they launch the binary file itself straight from the folder and not use shortcuts. After you get the launcher to do the validation, re-create your shortcuts Blink

I don't recommend client modification. Not even if a GM says it is okay, or if it appears in the Support Knowledgebase.

You don't want to deal with the hassle of even a false positive detection.

Well you can always just restart whole machine to make sure nothing isn't stuck anywhere anymore, but most likely you just need to make sure you don't use any shortcuts etc now.

The patch there is from CCP itself and it's the same package that comes from patch server itself. Just hang tight then, CCP will fix this eventually through they're own patch server. I just saw need to write this here so people don't need to petition everything. Contributing with my best Blink

This worked for me, but I had to run the EVE Online Launcher.lnk in the game folder instead of the desktop shortcut which was giving me python script errors. Thanks Bear
