Hi

I can't download the patch using the ingame patcher, is there any external link that I can use to download the patch?

The patch is not available there.

The current version is 326918 or so, while the patch page still stays 326279.

Tranquility is currently running: 326279

All of the patches on that site take you to 326279. Which version are you running? If you're running with higher version, you might have accidentally patched your TQ client with a Singularity test patch. What you can do then is delete your common.ini and start.ini in your client folder and then run the repair tool.

The patch/client update that was deployed today, which you are prompted to install on the log in links to a patch page saying update from 326279 to 326918.

My current client version is 326279, and I am prompted to install the patch 326918. The patch page is simply out of date.

Here is your own patch link from ingame: http://client.eveonline.com/patches/optional/?from=326279&to=326918

326279 -> 326918 is a so called "client update" and is only available via the automatic client update mechanic you are prompted with when you are on the login screen. If you are not getting the option to update to the new version using the client update you can still play the game. The reason why you don't get the option to download it could be something is preventing the client from reaching content.eveonline.com/

Sorry for misunderstanding you at the start there. I'm afraid that the answer to your question is No.

Sorry for misunderstanding you at the start there. So the answer to this question is: No.

I'm getting the prompt, but my internet connection is so bad that it would take me 2-3 hours to download the patch. Thus I want to download the patch on a different computer that doesn't even have eve installed.

Click the X at the top right corner and you will not have to install the patch and you can log in as usual.

When I used to play on Linux with Wine, client updates wouldn't download with it due to a specific incompatibility. IIRC I could manually "install" the update by copying the update data file out of the 'C:\ProgramData' folder (on Windows 7) on a computer that already had the update. It just needs to be in the same corresponding folder and the game will load it.

This may not work anymore so YMMV.

(The game can only ever use one update data file at a time, so if your computer already has one just overwrite it with the new one.)
