Mac User workaround

-Right click EvE Online application
-Show package content of Eve Online application
-Go to "Contents"
-Go to "Resources"
-double click eve online app
-It will start the client
-It will tell you "incompatible protocol"
-Wait 5-10 minutes
-A pop up will appear telling you an update is available
-Click update
-Nothing happens visually
-Click your usual launcher icon: Somehow magically, your client will update and start.

Feels like voodoo, but it works ;)


Unfortunately doesn't seem to work. What?

So far none of the fixes have worked. Cry Launching directly from Exefile.exe starts the client, but gets stuck in an infinite update loop. Ugh Even though that patched installed just fine, it keeps repeating it, so I can't log in.

Also, I don't appear to have a repair.exe. Shocked





how to bypass errors:

create shortcut from repair.exe |||

right click on the shortcut and open properties |||

add this to your launch file/directory to the end of repair.exe |||

(1 empty space) --safemode || it will look like this directory/repair.exe --safemode ||

launch the shortcut, after repair go to eve/bin dir and launch exefile.exe


this worked for me and 3 other guys from corp.
its been confirmed that this only works with original install dir.. (not copyed files)

I was going to ask if anyone was having problems with the new launcher...fifteen seconds later I realised it would be a waste of my typing and your viewing time. I'm considering singing a song at you instead by way of distraction from the general fury.

On the flipside this is an excellent tool for bringing the game more towards real life - now I have to develop my understanding of software operation in order to repair the game and launch. I expect this is exactly the sort of thing that would happen on a real spacecraft and will really sort out the wheat from the chaff. Those that have managed to log in should get an automatic skill of some related manner, perhaps Problem Management or Rig Workaround.

In space, no-one can hear you whine.

Not claiming to have a fully working fix here - but it worked for me patching up my other computers so if anyone want to try go for it.

If the straight exefile.exe launch does not work and showing incompatible protocol you could try this file.

http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip (it's the files that got modified for me today, 50mb)

Copy and while launcher will still most likely fail, start the exefile.exe straight from the \bin folder.

On your own risk ofc but worked fine for me.

Else many suggested running repair.exe which seems to work in some cases.

TY for the files Chribba. Worked for me since the repair tool wouldn't and I didn't get the files early enough this morning.

Doing that trapped me in endless update cycles. Running Repair.exe then Launching the game from :C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe has me with a working connection.


Crap, I hope I dont get into endless update cycles. Just manually run the exefile program. It's busy downloading a 23MB patch. I'm amazed at the general incompetence

Nothing works, not as I understand it, or with the understanding I have of computers. Only option now is to reinstall the entire program again, this is the fourth time I have had to do it the past six months. I can not tell anyone of those who made this exelent game what to do, I love your work. The short hours I have had to use to reinstall do not diminish my joy of the game, thanks for your good work. And keep it up, this game have unlimited potential, there are noumerous things I would like to see in the game,but that will come later.

After Chribba's patch the ExeFile throws this message:

Your Eve client installation may have modified, damaged or corrupt files. Please run repair.exe located in the EVE game directory or re-install the game client.

Ok, has anyone found a solution yet? I've been through this threadnought and didn't find a workable solution.

I've tried for the last hours:

Run Launcher -> Offline
Run ExeFile.exe -> incompatible
Run Repair.EXE as admin -> Launcher starts, offline
Change Build number in COMMON.INI, run repair.exe as Admin -> DLing some stuff times out
Write a petition -> "Unspecified error, try later"
Grabbing Chribba's files atm.

Any other possible solutions?
