EVE Online: Escalation to Inferno Issues

There appears to be trouble. I undocked in Jita, look around, and EVE crashes every single time. Not sure what causes it, maybe having a container in view or some specific ship. Oops

So now I get 70+ fps on my nVidia 9400 GT video card, but I can't undock Ugh

1. Clearing cache did not help
2. Changing shaders/quality to medium from low did not help fix the crash. enabling HDR and object cache didn't do anything either. Normally I play on all low settings with everything disabled.

So now I've undocked and I can't dock Sad

PS. Great performance increase!! Sadly, can't log in to enjoy it.

Now downloading the full client. None of the above workarounds have worked for me. I have tried running everything as Administrator and have also turned off ESET NOD32. This is quite troubling.

Are you using LInux by any chance? Tech III cruiser models appear to be crashing the client when running under Wine.

I found a bug if you jump or undock while you have a PI screen up your ship console will not be there when you close the PI screen, thus preventing you from using any modules, the scanner, tactical view, overheat, etc. by clicking in their icons, keyboard shortcuts still work.

I have found that causing a session change/forcing a redraw to occur (docking undocking, jumping, and opening and then closing the PI screen, switching planets without closing the PI screen after undock or jump) will cause it to be visible and useable again.

Things change you adapt or you whine.

[u]Please note[/u]: Whining will alert the nearest predator resulting in death and the continuation of the EVE-olutionary process.

Just did. Same behavior as before.
Super, duper, 100% busted. :(

Launcher now says the game is ready to play, but exefile.exe just hangs and needs to be killed under the task manager.
I get the splash screen and then nada. Just exefile doing nothing in the background. That issue right there raises the issue of not being able to patch manually as I don't know what previous version I had.

Repair errs out every time, so that's not helpful either. :(

Have you tried running C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe ?

For me, the groups tab in the market doesnt work, its completely blank with nothing on it.

Edit: It works if I press the bar (for instance, faction cruise missiles) but not the arrow on that bar.

Failed to patch, attempt to patch with raised privileges, patch again fails. This also happens with the repair tool, etc.

Confirming this (NPC Corp) pilot cannot access Orca Corp bays while in space (as above, no menu). Can while docked in station.

Fleet members cannot either.

Did play with the maint bay settings (Configure ship).

Have another report from an NPC Corpmate that the same is happening to him.

Don't have a PC Corp Orca pilot handy to test, but inquiring in local -- people say its working for them. So probably just NPC Corp pilots.

EDIT: PC Client (although I doubt this makes a difference, but you asked for this info on all posts)


Confirming this for Orca pilot beeing in same alliance but not same corp. Also I am having issues with accessing cans in space. If they were launched for corporation, noone from alliance neither from corp can drop stuff into them. Also noone from blueboxed corps which are not in the same alliance can drop stuff into any not-owned cans. This si also true for fleet members. They can't either drop anything into not-owned cans.

Very minor issue, but just noticed... miner drones only display the laser on activation, then it disappears until they start another cycle.

I have the same issue. I am in corp and no one can open the hanger in corp or fleet atm.

Although I can open the corp hanger in space as the pilot.

I've got the login screen up now. Thanks. :)

Process followed:
1. Rename common.ini to common_old.ini
2. Run launcher, launcher tries to run exefile --> exefile errs out because common.ini is missing, asks me to perform repair.
3. Ran repair, repair errs out, but still replaces common.ini (luckily)
4. Run launcher, launcher succesfully launches exefile.

Just like the patch when the launcher was first introduced I can not use the eve repair tool again. Now the reason I tried the repair tool is because when I start eve I download the patch it finishes then it closes and nothing happens. When I try to run eve again the same thing happens (downloads patch then nothing)

Hey at least some of you can get the launcher to actually bloody update, mine wont at all. It just gives me the same error every time I try and update the client, "An error occurred while applying the patch, the launcher will now try to apply the patch safely with raised privileges,"

Click ok and greeted with "Unable to apply patch. restart your PC and run the laucnher again"

Restart PC, same "restart and re-run the launcher" messages.

Run as admin, oh, again, "restart and re run the launcher" messages.

Restart again, run launcher directly in EVE Dir\Launcher\launcer.exe

same error, run as admin, same error...


Any manual patches avaiable?

Thanks guys.

Latest update - EVE Client on Mac completely screwed - as usual.


Naturally there isn't a 'Repair.exe' so the installation is totally stuffed.


Wish I had not paid another subscription yesterday - what a ripoff.



So now what? Use my entire monthly download quota (and probably take a month to download it) and download the whole thing again - just because you can never, ever, get an upgrade to work properly.


Good night.


Tomorrow I will decide whether to spend hours re-downloading or just skip it and erase the lot. Evil

Actually, that's exactly what happened for me.
After you run repair, and it tries to manually patch, try renaming common.ini to something else, then letting repair replace that.
Even if repair errs out, as it did for me, it should still fix common.ini.
Then when you run the launcher it will hopefully properly launch the game.

The steps have been detailed earlier in the thread.
