Macintosh

Last couple days i started to have some socket issues after 30 mins cycle. Thn my authenticating loading bar from the login process was not going any where for 15 mins ~ forced reboot was the only option. But today, new development. Now my launcher freeze and i get the beach ball spinning in my face (aka loading mouse pointer). And no way to even launcher the game not even the client validation.

Steps taken new launcher with updates = same authentication issue

for the others that can still make the launcher work it cmd+tab to go back to desktop and wait 5 mins~ then do it again and see if you go to character selection screen. At that point it means you are good.

If any one else has this let me know. If you have a fix even better.

I post this today do to the lack of similar topics.

PLZ let me know if you manage to find one :)

i just redownloaded the launcher and try 5 times now nothing same issues.
I am using the cmd+tab trick to stop having to reboot all the time. i'm sure reboot is not good for comp.

I had a ~30 second freeze on "Authenticating" yesterday, but then it got over itself and finished launching.

How long do you let it freeze before force quitting and rebooting?

hmm, I’m getting this now, just freezes the first time i start the launcher, so i force quit and relaunch and it works fine, but every time i log in i have to do the same process of lock,force close, start again.
it seems a weird problem as i will always login just fine second time around?

I used to do exactly as you say.

However, these days I Alt-Tab out before the authentication begins; you've obviously noticed that that is when it freezes.

So, when I alt-tab out of the game it continues authenticating in the background, then I alt-tab back into the game when supposed 'freeze' moment has passed since you won't be able to alt-tab back into the game when it is frozen in authentication mode.

I hope that made sense.



*edit*

here's the procedure I follow:

1. launch game, wait for black screen and loading bar.

2. quickly alt-tab out before authentication process begins. (this is where it would freeze)

3. wait for authentication to complete in background. (if it freezes in the background you won't be able to alt-tab back into the game vis-à-vis you can't alt-tab out once it freezes while you are in game).

4. alt-tab back into game and wait for the rest of the loading to complete

5. enjoy!


I never have those freeze issues this way, but the key for me is to alt-tab out before authentication process bar appears.

I had the exact same problem:
The weird part was that all week I was able to play just fine but tonight the login screen never loaded the bottom "loading" stick and when i pressed the mouse on the Account name window I just got the beach ball and the Login screen stopped responding.

The problem was that I downloaded : AdobeFlashPlayerInstaller_14_ltrosxd_aaa_aih.dmg

-I went into activity monitor and disabled this flash player and then the client started just fine.

Hope this helps someone else with this problem.

Playing on
Macbook Pro 2,3GHz Intel Core I5
16GB 1333MHZ DDR3
SSD


(possible very irrelevant)P.s. Before I disabled the Flash player plugin-
I was able to start the client by right clicking EVE,
-Show package content
-Conents
-Resources
Opening the client in there gave me a old school login window
There I could access the game but it was not working properly, responding like 5%
I could not do anything and when I tried Activating another ship I noticed that the client had stopped responding.

Try resetting PRAM, restart your computer and when the screen blacks out, hold in alt+cmd+p+r so the computer reboots again, after that close the flash stuff in activity monitor.

On a second note.

Has any one of you got a 3 to 5 sec freeze after jumping through a gate?

Same Issues.
crash/stuck on try to log in.

Was getting the freezing on the "authentication" screen, tried updating the Flash player & everything loaded up fine after that.
