Tried to log in this morning but when i entered all my details and waiting for the game to load nothing happened. I tried the repair multiple times I have tried re-installing, using the offline patch nothing works. And now I have uninstalled the launcher wont even patch the game, and sometimes when it does it gets stuck. Nothing works, anyone have any ideas?

Welcome to EvE.The place where the devs would rather mess with mechanics in the game, over fixing the obvious problems with the launcher.

Best advice would be to bypass the launcher, try running it in admin mode, or failing that, go play elite dangerous.

Launch using the exefile.exe located in the bin folder in your install. This will at least launch the game (hopefully) patching however will still need to be done by the launcher.

I had same problem today and also last week.

First it was slow to respond and when i got type in login then the play button was greyed out.

Last week I did what Chribba said, just to get into game.

Today I tried something I red in of of the post about "grey launch button" and that helped.

If you haven't done it perhaps try the following:

1) Right click anywere on the launcher window > choose back

2) Right clikc anywhere on the launcher window > chose forward

It that doesn't do it then try change language in launcher window from e.g english to german and then back to english.

Some solutions others have tried more or less successful https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=424283&p=5

Hope it will help
