1) Locate the folder where you installed EVE. If you are not sure where that folder is, see http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_default_directories
2) From the EVE installation folder, open the folder called “bin” and there you will find the ExeFile.exe
3) Run this ExeFile.exe to start the EVE Online client


it works...


No it doesn't , at least for me and running as Admin too :-/

Server: Tranquility
Status: Incompatible (Protocol)




I'm using window 7/64 by the way... and it works...

PS. less player atm, less WT... the miners can mine in peace... Big smile

For those of you running repair.exe over and over again until something happens are you seeing an error like this when it doesn't work:

I see this every time I run repair.exe as administrator which is now close to 10 times.


Well wouldn't you know right after I posted this message repair.exe works and I can get in now via exefile.exe. Launcher still doesn't work but who cares about that.

•download: the launcher from page 1 and doing the steps that you are told to do!


• then it telling you that it fails hard and ccp suck



• but you are a bro and you klick on the rapiar.exe in your eve folder



•you klick on it and nothing will happen - but after 5-10min later the repair.exe starts



• now you are happy but it "Starting..." and doing nothing for about 10-20min...(havn't stoped time)



• you think it works now until it telling you that it failing to download!



• but you are going to the "Bin" Folder and open up the "ExeFile" and it might work!

I can launch the game with the exe file, but can't log in. And the repair tool doesn't seem to be working.

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


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

I can't discuss the details, but I will point out there is a 17 day gap in my posting history, so trust that I've got good reason to recommend patience and not trying a quick fix.

I'll wait for CCP to fix it, and download the entire client again if necessary, even if I can't play for a few days. Ugh

People having issues, find your eve dir/folder, run the eve.exe directly, bypass the sh!t launcher and login...

Also, once the new launcher works for you and you login, all settings are reset essentially. You can however run your eve.exe and have all your old settings and shortcuts as they were....


you just need to close the client and reopen it again from the launcher and your settings are magically back

If all else fails you can at least start client by navigating to and running the following EXE - CCP\EVE\Bin\ExeFile.exe


This starts the client for me, but where it lists the server and player numbers, the server correctly reads as Tranquility, but the player numbers part reads 'Incompatible (Version)'.

WTF?

Also, running the repair tool does nothing. It seems to start, but no window pops up or anything, and I have to kill the process to get it to run again.

On a matter of principal I refuse to mess around with settings.

I want to just double click the Eve short cut and be taken into the game clean and simple, that is what I pay a subscription for.
