The patch downloaded and it said it failed during patching.

It downloaded the repair tool to "repair" whatever went wrong.

Now the repair tool runs for a bit, then says that it has failed.

What now?

That's a lot of fail happening.

Well not to be an ass about it, but the repair kit worked at repairing my download. That being said that occured 7-8 hours ago.

Heh, I only came back to EVE because of that good-will letter :)

If I have to re-download and re-install I'd as soon as just leave it uninstalled. We don't have infinite bandwidth where I live to entertain this rinse-repeat.

Perhaps CCP knows of some way (perhaps a few specfic files I can delete) to get this repair tool working.

Same for me. Patch fail.

But the repair tool worked.

Then I logged in and saw the 50 mile long lime green engine trails behind my Diemos and almost wish it hadn't worked.

You people fail. Maybe if you were as awesome as me, your patcher would not fail and would never require you to download the repair tool that CCP never actually fixed. <3<3<3

same here; patch failed but repair tool did the job.

Well done to CCP for implementing such a useful feature. And it was really quick.

P.S. FTTC Internet connection dowloaded the main patch in less than 4mins!

Well done for fixing something broken by the same people?

How about YOU FAIL for breaking something in the first place.

Patch downloaded in <30min.
Then failed.

Then i've noticed that the partition was full,
so no wonder it failed.

Then i've deleted some stuff.
Restarted the client.
Had it apply the already downloaded patch.

Still failed, but seemed reasonable,
because probably not all of the data got downloaded.

Repair tool.
Watched my HDD get filled up again,
probably due to unpacking stuff.

Deleted other stuff while it got filled up again.


Patching worked.

After the patcher failed, I effectively installed the patch using the repair tool. Probably one of the more bizarre experiences I've had installing software.

After 1 hour, patcher failed.

10 minutes later, repair failed.

Tried to run as administrator, repair failed. "Could not access eve.exe"

Removed 'mark as read only' from the entire folder / sub folder, ran as administrator, repair failed.

Attempted to uninstall eve, eve uninstaller failed.

Kicked my computer, now downloading full client.

I had to repair both my PCs over the new patch, which is something I have never had to do before. Other than that, it all went well although it took some time.

CCP - I think that there is a problem somewhere here on the download patch.

Repair tool worked on the second attempt, and so it should, it seemed to download the whole bloody client lol.

Theres another thread for that particular 'feature' of the updater.

ps. Running the repairer is the best idea in most of your cases imo. As long as its the correct one.

In after the lock :P   - CCP Falcon www.nizkor.org/features/fallacies

Check free space on your c: drive. Patching was failing for me because of not enough hdd space
