All these fixes are fine if your into that. I pay for this service and expect it to run when I turn it on. Having to go through all these fixes for something I pay a monthly fee for is like:

Going to a garage paying for fixes to your car, getting in and it wont turn on but having 5 guys that dont work there telling me If you apply the brake, turn the key, turn on the wipers and jump up and down it might start. Thats is just plain stupid for a company to do.

I should not have to jump through all these hurdles to play the game. This new launcher was nothing but a bunch of wasted time when there was already a system in place to download patches and update the game. Now if the launcher doesnt work you are just plained screwed.

Done with paying for lousy service. Good luck keeping players turning out crap like this.

It's been said before, but:

UI/menu scrolling sounds: What few are left are almost inaudible even with all volumes max'ed.

Auditory/tactile feedback, we can haz back, pls, kthxbai.

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.

[non-sound-related issues that I haven't seen, myself]

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.


^^All this, basically.^^

Can you people fix your flipping sound-engine after 3+ years, finally? And then leave it that way?

Also, slight overall frame-rate drop and specific drops where I'd never had them before, and fittings-screen takes much longer to load then pre-patch.

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!



WORKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know T1 loot was replaced by metal scraps, but there was no mention of cap booster charges being replaced. I have not seen a single one today. I know they can be manufactured, but so can ammo and that still drops.

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


Confirm, this is (one of) the (many) problems I'm having as well, with many other glitches and gfx corruptions, which invariably leads the machine down the reboot path since the screen dies and locks. The problems begin with the login screen corrupting, on the odd occasion I can actually get into the game, all the other corruptions drag it down, can provide some interesting screen grabs no doubt. I can even hear my cpu fan speeding up dramatically.

Newest nVidia drivers installed (even tried the beta drivers to no avail), Gigabyte GTX570 card so not really that old yet.


Ugghh ... ok, as no doubt everyone's discovered already, acquiring bulk data is super slow with the latest patchlet (even slower than it was a couple of times on SiSi) but on the upside, the graphics (at least at first glance) seem to be fixed, although I can't be sure ... it stops acquiring the bulk data at 20/201 for me.

In station you cannot copy directly from People & Places to a can.

You must move the bookmarks to the cargohold of the ship you are in first and then copy them.

Fix this ASAP please, before we have to come round with pitchforks and torches Blink

Edit - to replicate use a small standard container while docked. Shift-drag any single bookmark from People & Places to the can. It will not copy. Now shift-drag the same bookmark to the cargohold of your current ship. It will copy. Now shift-drag it from cargohold to can. It will move, not copy.

Totally repeatable and very very annoying.

Edit 2 - its no longer possible to copy a bookmark from cargo, you can only move it.

Edit 3 - appears to work in space to jetcans and anchored cans. I suggest whoever did the secure can patch takes a look at what you broke Blink

Im playing on pc client.
Yesterday i got big lag spikes when warping into a position outside a pos that had 3-4 warp bubbles around it,
It was like in some zoom modes the whole screen distorted into blue and purple and scan lines and stuff.
thats what I call Ewar! Twisted
Never experienced eve doing that before, or well once when after some patch the stargates could start glowing all white.. Lol

and a friend her Orca didn't work like it was supposed to, her fleet members couldn't put stuff into the corp hangar if they wheren't from same corp as her.
And now server is offline and its not even downtime. please feed the hamsters Shocked

I ran Cargo Delivery (Sepentis) last night, and still got a bunch of Meta-0 loot and T1 drones. Looks like you still got some cleaning up to do on loot tables. Roll

Dear CCP are you telling me that everytime i want to log in to this game i have to do a 3 min uninstall of EvEonline and RE Download the Game and unstall the game again for 4 hours before i can log in and play???? i have not been able to play eve online for the past 43 hours and i still cannot log in??? i bet i am not the only person that is facing this issue.

I have a similar issue to ARCHTURU5 in post item 8 ( https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1180631#post1180631 ).

During update my updater crashed saying it could not complete and would try again with 'raised security'. It didn;t work so I quit, rebooted and did a repair. The update appeared to work but although the launcher screen pops up, when I press 'Play', the initial Escalation screen comes up for about 10 seconds and then the exefile.exe crashes out and disappears.

I managed to get into Eve once via safemode, but cannot get in normally.

havewn't tried it on any other boxes yet, but this one is as follows:

Win XP 64 on
i7 960
24gb RAM
Dual, SLI Nvidia GTX 580
Nvidia driver 296.10

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Cheers

If you are experiencing Issues with the Launcher not starting up correctly you should first try the following workarounds (this is covering multiple issues start from the top down and only try the next workaround after you have tried to start the Launcher and Game):


  1. Try to restart the Launcher.
  2. Open the launcher directory inside your client install (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE)
  3. Check if you can find 'updater.exe' inside the cache folder, if yes run it - Check if the Launcher is now working.
  4. Delete the cache directory under launcher inside your client install directory - Check if the Launcher is now working.
  5. Try running the Client Repair Tool - Check if the Launcher is now working.
  6. Check if an alternate way of patching works for you.


We are working on a new version of the Launcher which should be released tomorrow.

Edit:
Update of the workarounds


point 3 worked for me tyvm

Can't play EVE.

Every time when a new launcher update comes the launcher wouldn't start anymore.

Repair tool says everything is ok
Reinstalling eve not solve the problem
Launcher Updater not solve the problem
Alternate patch method not solve the problem either

Double klick on eve launcher and nothing happened....

Anyone happen to know the Link to the new lastest Patch 365966???

Ytd i redl the whole client which was 365454, today new patch is 365966, which i am dling the WHOLE CLIENT AGAIN, which is going to take another 4 hour or more.

Once it is done i will overwrite the whole folder, if it works i will let you all know ^^

And to CCP do you all test all these patches BEFORE you install it into the Main server and force everyone to dl the broke patch????, do yourself one more good favor, create a link for manual patching, the launcher is not making everyone's life any easier

same here again... so... I know you have lots of stuff to fix, I know you are busy, I know it's not easy to run a game like this, I know... I know that every morning you first make a coffee, or maybe you going to smoke... but, for gods sake, you have test servers, go make your ****** patches on test servers not on the main server (you know that Tranquility, located in London I guess)...

so my advice is: go sit down, smoke a cigarette or two, calm down and DO YOUR JOB!!! It's our money there or MAKE the game for FREE!!! I can play a lots of other free MMO games, I have chosen EVE, I'm paying for EVE, because I want that game without bugs! AND ALSO it's my ONLY game installed!

Now... I will cancel my alts subscription until you fix everything, have a nice day

(I hope I wasn't rude, and sorry for my english)
