Not sure it is actually an issue, but on each "big" release included with the Launcher, I had to run EVE at least 2 times:
- first time as admin to update the launcher. Then application quits without any message.
- second time as admin to update EVE client.

As a side note, on almost every recent update my client settings (windows, overview ...) got corrupted. Anyway, I feel lucky since apart these issue I was able to update and run on a reasonable time on my computer (Seven x64), which is much better than first update of 2012 (before launcher, dont remember, perhaps crucible 1.1 ?) which forced me a full reinstall. I just hope that the strange behavior of the Launcher gets eventually fixed ...

Here is a solution, at least for now:

1) Click this link and download the latest patch http://cdn1.eveonline.com/365434/EVE_Online_364755-365434_win.zip

2) Unzip this file and open EvE Launcher

3) Click the settings icon on the launcher (upper right hand corner) and choose Patches>Import>Select the file you just unzipped and click OK

4) It will automatically update the launcher and you are good to go

It works, believe me!

And damn you CCP for making us do s**t like this...get rid of this abomination called EvE Launcher!

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)


My 2 characters are in different Player Corps. My Orca pilot can open and close the Corp Hangar on the ship fine, my other character cannot. Even after configuring the Orca for fleet use the option did not appear even though the options for using the Fitting Service and the Ship Maintenance Bay did.

I'm guessing since NPC corp pilots can't open the corp hangars on their own ships this has something to do with a corp hangar rights. I'm hoping this is not an intended change and that it will be fixed. It's making mining a pain :(

Yup. Not fully fixed.

Orca driver (NPC corp) are able to open and operate corp hangar after today's patch. But miners (same and another NPC corp) are unable to open it. All was connected to a fleet with Orca as squadmaster.

And please, consider to make fleet use checked by default as well as corp use.

I have yet to see the problem I am encountering come up here, so here it goes:

MY UI is getting really messed up, to the point i have to restart because i cannot read or see anything.

This is what is starts looking like.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/47579642/2012.04.24.19.34.13.png

Opening the map seems to *sometimes*(edit) ALWAYS cause it, at other times i have no idea what causes it. The UI gets a smudged appearance, letters start disappearing, and those white boxes show up everywhere. If it is related, the lighting near stargates is also really messed up. I tried running repair tool, but it didn't find anything wrong.

also: random client crashes.

*edit* docking appears to resolve the issue

This not a problem if the Orca pilot and fleet members are part of the same corporation. This only occurs if the fleet member is not part of the Orca corporation or he and the orca pilots corporation is an npc corporation.

Odd things that happen while playing;

Can confirm there is a sort of perrrrp noise when jumping through a gate, it occurs just at the end of the jump gate sound effect.

While salvaging a large amount of wrecks with my command ship about 1 in 5 that reported ‘salvage successful’ did not put anything in my cargo hold.

A ‘Pulsating Beacon V’ gave it’s name 3 times listed one above the other but all the other beacons only listed the name once.

While in space Metal Scraps did not auto stack in the cargo hold but everything else added did.

When docked, holding down [Ctrl] and clicking each icon to select what to remove did not give any audible feedback (no ‘select click’ sound).

Some other sounds are either very quiet or missing, space seems very quiet since this patch/upgrade. Sound ambience adds to the overall quality of the game (and yes EVE does have sound and no I don’t have Muzac playing while I play), and if your busy doing ‘stuff’ it adds valuable audio feedback.

My observatoins are on PC platform:
Sound
- General sounds is really low (as said many times)
- Laser sounds totally gone

Graphics
- Captain's Quarter, full body view only shows upper body, hands (no arms) and from waist down nothing. Changing clothes does not help.
- Lasers not shown on ships anymore.
- Firing lasers not showing anymore.


Two possibilities exists: Either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

Do they refund subscription money? I'm not reinstalling this game again. For the past two days I have spent more time figuring out how to launch the game than actually playing it. Please tell me that all of these inconveniences are caused by your 24/7 development of DUST 514...or some other grand project (new eve online launcher). I get it, sometimes things just don't work they way they are supposed, but at least post some functional temporary solutions, so people wont rage and troll in forums like I do right now. Why? Because I can't play the f'ing game that my dumb ass friend recommended to me. By the way, what's wrong with manual patching? Every self-respecting MMO out there employs it, but CCP must ***k it all up and do it their way? CCP, are you trolling us while charging money? Even the money grubbing $%#@ing Blizzard knows whats good for them when it comes to fixing problems like these...for two damn days I've been trying to do YOUR job of figuring out how to launch the game; not to mention that at this point I barely even got through 50% of your semi-okay tutorials. Either way, let's see how well your financial department will do this month, most people (especially COD fanboys like me) wont put up with this BS :D You should be thankful for having hardcore fans that look past your failures and keep paying to play the game! Man, I'm felling much better now...screw you CCP, I'll buy some Taco Bell next time I think about this game; while thinking "This reprocessed crap is actually more satisfying than my short-lived and extremely aggrevating trial with EvE Online."Evil

Is the overload problem, a bug or not ? when you overload and get damage, you can't overload your item again. Even if the module is 0.01 damaged, you won't be able to re-overload it .

You need to repair it if you want to overload again. And it's a huge problem in figths.

Switching to planetary view when mining (in this case, ice mining) and back causes the progress indicator (the white progress circle around the slot) to get out of sync with the actual progress - it looks like it restarts at 0 even if the cycle is in-between, causing the visual cycle time to be out of sync with the actual.

Happens on both lasers on my mackinaw. Stopping the cycle and restart fixes the problem.

Pach did not work started repair toll then pach worked after that game would not lunch when I hit play Tho it would show up in Task manager.

Windows 7 64 bit


I have tried everything that has been posted on the forms with the exception of reinstalling the game. My character is only a month old and I’m lazy so I’m going to unsub if the launcher can’t even patch right.

Here's how I eventually got the update to work yesterday. Firstly I don't use the C: drive, but have 2 clients on different drives on my PC. After many hours of deleting things, running repairs, manually downloading, running things as administrator etc.
I decided to uninstall my main client, and deleted all the cached data from the C: drive (why the hell it's there in the first place I don't know as the main client is installed to F:). I deleted all the Eve files from C: in fact just to be sure. I then copied the other client (that wouldn't update either) over to the F: drive where I'd just deleted my main client from. I then ran it from that location and sure enough it updated cleanly first time. I then deleted the old non-updating client and replaced it with the functioning one.
I now suspect that if I had just cleared the C: drive of all the Eve related files it would have forced the clients to update properly.
Anyway; I had taken the day off to play Eve, what I did was spend 6-7 hrs trying to patch my clients, used a sizeable portion of my data limits for the month on downloads and eventually played eve for about an hour before my GF came home :-(
