Two installs - one Steam and one vanilla. When I run side-by-side repairs to update these installs it is amazing how different they are.

But to the point - about every other time a patch is put out one of the two repair sessions will fail. Re-running fixes the failed repair session.

Another anomaly - one install will repair in a minute or so. The other will require 10 to 15 minutes to complete.

Really stable releases CCP...

Can you please stop having the launcher forget all settings (username/auto play) every time you update? Or at least explain why you have to do it that way?

Thanks :)


This happened again today. It's always a 6mb new build. Is this not supposed to be happening to me? Has to be the 6th or 7th time at least since the initial patch.


And again.

What is going on! The ExeFile.exe won't start the game. Just says incompatible protocol. prompts me to download the patch again. Apply the patch. nothing changes. At the launcher screen it just sits at 1/4 Validating Client File. Just sits there at 0%.

Can't use Launcher can't use ExeFile.exe what is going on????

Finally thought I got past these launcher problems. But today I was again met with the no connection, and the only option to restart launcher (as always with no success).

But wait, EveMon tells me Tranquility is online! So I run the exefile, and of course Tranquility is up, the launcher just doesn't notice. The client updates and... yes, the launcher is updated... but my shortcut to the launcher is not working, I have to create a new one, and all my accounts are again forgotten.

And how comes EveMon can tell me Tranquility is online, but not CCP's own launcher!?

*sigh* X

I have feelings, I can smile - and murder while!

Sure miss the Windows 'Snap To' ability. One of my chars still has the little 'Snap To' arrows, but the other character does not. I am attempting to set up IsBoxer with just two characters and its a bit difficult. Sorting the overview is a bit tricky as well, no, its absurdly stupid trying to get two overviews to give the same information at the same time.

Im not sure, but jumping through a gate seems to randomize one setting each time, but I have no idea what setting untill I notice something that worked a moment ago, no longer works now.
How can one character have Snap To enforced and the other Not? Makes no sense. I cannot turn it off on the one that has it on, and I cannot turn it on on the one that has it off. FTLOP. ( For the love of Peat).

I have business internet and i play alot of other games that need more space on the hard drive i know that my system is not the problem becouse i exceed the hardware limits so what gives is CCP even reading the forums are you guys even looking in on how to fix it or do you even care.

Oh and if you care then tell us the players that line your pocket book with our money so you guys can live in the lap of lucury that your working on it and will keep us the players informed.

That way you CCP will not loos you players us the people.

Oh I forgot there is some thing else we the players can walk away from EVE and never look back and do you know what that means you loos our money witch sucks for you the guys at CCP.

So get off your buts and start working on it so we can play EVE.

Thank you from: Kyjen Eiko Geashi

I've noticed that when navigating in missions/sites that when I shift camera angles (click-drag) that the ship seems to get the idea I'm double clicking in space, so when I set it to keep range on a target and shift views to look around i wind up floating off into space. It's kind of a hassle and really slows me down when I'm having to slow down and turn back around to get to anything, and its happening quite often.

I'm not sure if its the setting you have coded or the new identifiers of what the ship is currently doing but something got screwy there, heheh.

edit: also seems like when I double click in space those clicks can be kinda slow so maybe has something to do with it

I know I'm probably beating a dead horse, but I can't even get my Eve to detect my graphics card at all.

Here's what I'm using:

Nvidia GeForce GTX 660, Driver 320.18
Windows 7, 64bit

Any input would be greatly appreciated

A few new issues I've encountered in the past couple of days:

Icon for Acolyte I drone not displaying properly in inventory - shows a blank yellow square instead (other drones appear ok, not sure if this is a universal problem, or just my client).

The drones window occasionally disappears and reappears while drones are being launched.

Inventory window does not stay open in hangar - It used to be that if my inventory was open, and I undocked, then entered the station again, the inventory window would still be open, right where I left it. Now, if I leave the station and return, the window is closed and must be opened again.


These are all still active. The disappearing drone window is the most annoying, although the inventory problem is a close second.

I'm still getting a black ball in the center of some targets that I lock. Is anyone else having this problem?

Sorry, all, but my trusty 6 year old Dell went fins up a few days ago, so this is the only way I can interact with the game until the rest of the parts come in.

One of the things that bothers me about the Oddessy expansion is that the issues I have been having with it are not consistent.

If I undock a large ship, the camera will always be at close range. With smaller ships, sometimes the camera remembers the range, sometimes it doesn't.

The black ball appears on locked targets infrequently, but it does still happen.

There are a few other things that aren't important enough to mention, but that is partly because I use as little of the user interface as possible. Basically, I don't want to find out what will happen if I try something new.

Now I would like to address one of many old but still irritating problems. You will see why in a minute.

Stacking. I mine a lot, and put the ore in an Orca. I like to stack it before I move it out of the Fleet hanger. The problem is that, if I have more than a few pieces of ore in the hold, I have to stack it twice, to get it fully stacked.

I have the same problem with stacking things in a station hanger, except a little more aggravating. I select all and select stack and nothing obvious happens. Nothing at all. So I click on an item in the hanger and select Stack again. Some times I don't even have to select Stack in order to get a partial stack. So I really don't know whether it just took a while for Eve to figure out what it was going to do, or if the stacking was triggered by left clicking one of the items.

The important thing about this is that I mentioned it to CCP more than a year ago, and actually got a response. They said that they make more mony from developing new shiney stuff than they do from fixing things.

So I asked them what is going to happen to the game when everything is shiney, but more than half of the in game functionality is broken in some way, and they don't have any plans to fix it?

I really believe that, if I worked at CCP and had any say in the matter, I would assign at least one programmer to do nothing else except go back through the code and start fixing things.

I've been a programmer. I know that I would be seriously demoralized if, no matter how well my part worked out, I knew that the program was going to be broken at the time of release, and would stay that way

Because leaving us with unresolved issues and not even a response, for weeks on end, just promotes a wonderful sense of community, you're right! Oh, those naughty trolls, how dare they?!?

Now let's all hold hands and sing "We Are The World" :) :) :)

Ice spawn probing bug - when site spawns it does not show up on the automated prove scanner half the time. Have to change the filter in order for it to pop up on the scan. e.g. Filter -> Show All, Filter -> Structures, Filter -> Show all

Just happened to have an ice site spawn and appear on view, then noticed it never showed up on scanner, even after session change of docking/undocking.

So if you have been wondering why ice doesn't spawn every 4 hours like it should - be sure to kick the @!^!* scanner before blaming bad spawn code.
