Can everyone stop whining about CCP and the developers. This game is running 10 years and more beautifull content (ok, the bounty system is a bit too much) is added every day. The developers are working hard and this one time it fails in a logn time, everyone starts calling names to CCP.

Please, wait a day or use this patch (and start the bin/exe file) http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip

The EVE Launcher will be upgraded with new features on May 21, 2013.

This update will be performed automatically as soon as you start your current EVE Launcher. If the launcher doesn't automatically update as expected you can download the new EVE Launcher manually here: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/EveOnlineLauncher/release/EVEOnlineLauncher_2_1_539169.exe

The main change is a new and improved landing page and a new login mechanism which will allow you to log into EVE Online using our SSO (single sign on) service.

We’ve also included a new self-update mechanism in the EVE Launcher, which will make the update process for the EVE Launcher itself more reliable and allow us to deploy more updates as we work on improving the flow into the game.

In addition to these features, we’ve worked on a new version for the Mac which should also be deployed soon, which brings much closer parity between the Windows and Mac EVE Launchers, with a new embedded browser and low level tweaks to the EVE Launcher.

A devblog about the EVE Launcher upgrade can be found here, further information about SSO is available here.

We welcome all constructive feedback and comments and our developers will monitor the comments closely.

A new launcher was just hinted at at fanfest as 'something CCP would like to do'.

You don't announce a major new feature like this on the same day you're going to launch it. Something tells me someone was pushing for this so hard that he probably thought he was pushing out a turd on the toilet. Come on people, this is a mistake CCP may have made 9 years ago, but today?

1) Announce this stuff at least 2 weeks in advance.
2) Test it before deploying it and don't shove possible bugs in a "cant or wont" fix pile.

This is a critical feature people need to log into the game and it seems like it's been handled very, very poorly. Shame on you, CCP.

If you do things right, people won't be sure you've done anything at all...

I had same problem with luncher (error window and no patch download). EvilEvilEvil

I try many options(clear cashe, repair). but what is work:
i off my firewall
and conect my phone with shared network connection in it
i shutdown my local network connection and start update luncher (look first page).
then it start to check my eve files version and starting update
on 2\4 stage - when it created patch on ~40% it stops and do it again
i try to wait (it sooo long) so i put online my local network connection
and it start update fast as usually
so it download and apply patch
then i just click start in luncher and it work! Cool

so - if it not work - may be you can try use second connection (with shutdown you usually local network connection) Attention

Launching the game from :C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe works for me.
That is after updating the launcher to the latest version.

C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe

Outstanding job. Just as the players online was rising you've gone and cocked it up again. You were doing so well too. Who's on testing duty. I want that job.

Eve is generally working well. This is the first really bad bug we have since a long time. I think CCP has earned a bit of advance good-will. And they are surely dont work harder or faster when you insult them, you wouldnt either.

Agreed. Let's try to be adults about this folks. Leave the hateful remarks for the WoW forums.

Unable to connect to obtain launcher.

Manually downloaded patcher as advised from official post, then got exception error when running new launcher.

Ran repair tool, still got exception error.


(Cannot quote exception error due to unsupported html protocol on site.)

Cannot submit details in petition in normal web support?!!!!

COMEDY OF ERRORS!!!



Fortunately there are plenty of other MMO's out there I can occupy my time and spend money on whilst this is fixed.

I blame the Goons, has to be a QQ troll-fest development they asked for, can't be down to incompetent developers surely. BlinkTwisted

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.

This worked for me, at least for the time being. Ty Chribba <3

Maybe because i'm also a developer, and these things are bad (yes it is a fail) but can happen all the time. We just have to wait patiently for a patch. In the mean time use this patch http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip
