Do you have the number that you changed it to? I've the same issue as you, except i didn't take a nite of the Build= number i replaced, like a tit - now my exe file is borked....

My repairer won't even run now.. I know it takes a few minutes for it to come up, and before changing the build i managed to get it to start it timed out after 2 mins.

I am running as administrator, now i just get an error message of some folder extension, anyone able to help? I have changed the build, just trying to get the repairer to run.

Confirmed. Copy the sync= value to the build= value triggered an update after running the exefile.

However, when eve attempted to reboot, an exception popped up saying "No connection could be made to the content server. Please make sure that your Internet connection is up and restart the Launcher."

Clicked start eve > Incompatible Protocol.

The repair tool failed about four times but miraculously worked on the fifth try! Hurray! \o/

I can now play EVE and the Launcher works fine.

This worked completely, thank you very much.

Please note: it can takes ages to start. Follow the instructions and give the repair tool at least 10 mins to look like it's doing something.

Again, thanks.


Yeah I went off to do other things and sometime later the repair tool popped up out of nowhere. Been sitting on 'starting' for about 10 minutes now, but so far the furthest along I've gotten in this total clusterfuck of an update.

Fingers crossed and thanks OP for posting.

Ok, I have tried over a dozen times.
I disabled firewall
I run repair as admin
I've tried starting eve launcher in safe mode
I've tired starting eve launcher in regular mode

What else should I do, I'm about to just give up on this game.

I have 2 accounts that aren't skilling right now cause I can't get in. WTF.
I am using windows 8, any suggestions?

Dont use launcher application ,go to bin folder and use ExeFile.
You will skip launcher crap that no one wants anyway and go strait to normal old log in page.

CCP no one is giving flying fck about shiny launcher we just want to play game and have fast log in ,not some shiny bs that is for hello kitty kind games.

Isn't editing the config file(part of the client) a EULA violation?

Right click on your EVE Icon, check properties. It's in the "Target" entry box (Name might be wrong, "Ziel" on german Windows).

If you don't know it's probably on C:\Program Files\EVE pr C:\Program FIles (x86)\EVE

Also, the solution mentioned here did not work for me. I had to overwrite my installation with Chribba's patch found on this link:

Because the server is running 538542 not 539612.

Follow the guide in the OP

Are you really that stupid?
The config file is not part of the client at all, it doesn't interact with the client and is not used by the client process. All it does is notify the repair tool and launcher what version it thinks is installed.

I am attempting to reinstall the whole game, if that fails then I'll try to open the .exe, I uninstalled and started to reinstall before I saw your post. Thanks.

Try the guide in the OP first. I wouldn't personally trust a 3rd party patch (just causes it on Eve-Files doesn't mean its Chribbas) however if the op guide fails, feel free to attempt this update at you own risk ofc

Everything worked fine, my repair tool would hang up a couple times but I ended process tree from the Task Manager, tried again (about 4 times) and it went smoothly from there. Thanks! Big smile
