Due to the current issues with the installer both downloader and offline installer I am willing to pay 2plex to anyone in england who can post me a copy of the game client.

Due to the patching bugs related with WIN7 64bit I would appreciate the most recent copy (post 2nd of July patch)
Obviously payment will only be made upon sucsessfull log-in, so it will be in your interest to supply clean copies.

Any detailed arrangements will be made via forum mail.

Thank you

Well seeing you specified England I wont be able to help, we may not be split from the union yet but i didnt think there were border charges in place yet. (and I hope we dont split to be honest, My vote would have been devo max)

I posted considering the fracing of Blackpool across the Pennines for shale gas , and did'nt want any one to pay for shipping by sea Big smile

I'd be happy to accept any offer but one must take into account the postage costs against the payment offered.

I fail to see how you are having issues patching. I run win7 64bit... Ok i had some problems, but I found a work around for this... Tell me more how you failed to find a mere simple work around for this problem!

I use that OS.

Is there a bug I should know about?

It's all been working fine for me.

I'm quite one of the bitter vets and when I returned to EVE after 2½ years of a I'll never resubscribe! phase, the first thing my fellow pilots told me was "Don't use the launcher, it's completely irredeemably s*it. Use the repair tool for patching, and /bin/exefile.exe for running the game", and I trust these people unconditionally.

They're quite right, I presume. Patching using the repair.exe works fine, and running the good ole' exefile.exe instead to start the cilent, works like a charm.

Also, bitter vet instructions for installing EVE:

1) Download Payload files (7-zip archives) from offline installer.
2) Use 7-zip archive program to extract.
3) Done.

Yes, don't use the installer. They improved it from "extracting 7z archives from big file to temporary directory on C:\, extracting game files from those to temporary directory on C:\, copy game files to target directory", cutting required temporary disk space on C:\, but it's still meh :P

I hope that remedies your problems on a whim, and if you still feel like shooting some ISKies my way, don't mind doing so ;)

Fly safe o/

PS: Yes, I also use win7 x64 :)
