Wow how incompetent must one be to **** up every single patch in last 12 months to level that half ppl are not able to log in.
Brilliant job CCP as usual
Not to mention 3 morons who actualy LIKED this original topic - which wouldn't be here if CCP done it's job properly for once in it's history.

Client totally broken, manual patch doesn't help, repair doesn't help. Full reinstall pending.

Never had problems with the old system.

Full reinstall necessary for a minor patch. Launcher is garbage - not only corrupted my Eve client install, it corrupted itself as well. Repair tool did a wonderful job listing how many blocks were missing from a huge number of files, and then erroring out every attempt to fix those problems. Though it was fun watching the Newtonian approximation method the repair tool seemed to apply to each subsequent pass.

At one point there was this glorious idea of actually testing the patch process within CCP before foisting this crap on to the user base. It would appear that maybe this idea should be brought up again, and possibly even staffed and implemented.

It might be even smarter to take this glorious reality changing idea of testing patches and link it to a bludgeoning every time a patch fails. I for one look forward to YouTube videos of developers being run through a gauntlet of club wielding users whenever they screw things up this bad.

UPDATE:

Full reinstall gets to "Register with Games Explorer" and then... APPCRASH.

Being on Linux, I wish we had a seat, considering there are more wine players than mac players.


I second that.
Being on Linux (Ubuntu) since i started playing EVE (actually that it was available for Linux was one strong reason for me to start in the first place)
I have to upgrade 10 clients which takes anything between 1 hour and 3 hours depending on the volume.
I have to switch libraries form built-in, native to native, build-in every time the launcher needs to run and back when the update is done.

And since the patch yesterday my clients crash again for no reason.


above all to the side...i still love this game

cheers

P.S.: i might run again for CSM, just to give CCP a sign how many WINE (=Linux) pilots there are

Downloaded correct Win patch file, ran launcher, and it started trying to re-download the patch.
Noticed that new patch was not named the same, so took the '_win' off the end of the filename and ran launcher again.
Patch installed quickly and game started.

At least last time I heard some numbers, there actually really more mac players than wine players, and by large. Less than a 1% of the playerbase was using linux WHILE linux was supported. Though feel free to correct me with current numbers.

How to count when even "native" linux client wasn't native but used Cedega or something like that. Linux users had to use windows client, not a native one.

Someone has already suggested in this forum to add a checkbox into Eve client to let linux users actually show themselves and be counted properly.

p.s. No one wants native linux client made from scratch. We just need all coming patches to be -- officially -- properly tested on WINE. That would have some benefits for windows users too: less bugged for WINE is also more stable for windows.
Why not to create some constant connections with WINE developers community.

hi, before yesterdays patch I had downloaded the payload files with serial "360229".

I then downloaded the zip from this thread to patch from 360229 to the latest patch.

note this is fresh install on my old desktop. on my laptop it works fine.



Starts off with "(1/7 Downloading index: initializing...)"

And about 30 seconds later it changes that heading to "cantresolveurl"

Suggests I should run the repair tool, but when I do so it brings about an error box saying "repair.exe.log" will give more info. I cont find that log at the path it says it should be.



any help will be appreciated

Didn't bother reading this whole thread, however.. yes i too had a problem with the download/patch some sort of failure with a message about it retrying with admin priviledges or something along those lines... I just used the repair tool from the launcher screen, it dowloaded the files and did the update to my client.

Yeah... why the HELL would you make it so i HAVE TO USE THE LAUNCHER to patch? the ENTIRE POINT of this alt-method was so i DIDN'T HAVE TO USE THE LAUNCHER, because i CAN'T! I get this stupid bullshit message that i have ALWAYS gotten using the launcher:

Thanks for this suggestion. Unfortunately it didn't work for me - could you post the full name of your re-named patch file so I can compare against what I'm doing?

People, this situation is actually very simple: we are being trolled by CCP, so they could measure just much bs they could get away with; and unfortunately, they can get away with quite a bit.

Alternative patching methods? Are you serious? If we end up pretty much manually patching the game, then what the hell is the point of utilizing that fail-Launcher? The only thing it succeeded at doing was pissing me off for the past few days. GM's, I know it's not your fault, but can you guys at least update the patch link ASAP?

Launcher as always couldn't run by itself, because of asking for administrator privileges. So had to run it manually, at which point it always crashed at around step 3/7... It just closed and said nothing.

Repair tool worked though.

This updating process is horrible.
