Update:
Alternative patching method has arrived.
June 8th, 2012: Updated links to client version 384443( Inferno 1.0.10 )

The alternative patching method has finally completed and passed testing, it is as follows.

Instructions, Windows:

If you are unsure which client version you have installed you can circumvent the launcher by starting the \CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe executable. In the top left corner of the EVE log in window you'll see the currently installed client version. From that you can determine which patch you need to download.

1. Download and open the zip file
2. Copy the .patch file into the EVE Online client folder, usually that would be C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
3. Run the launcher and it'll do the rest for you automatically.

Here are the Windows patch files.

http://content.eveonline.com/384443/EVE_Online_383814-384443_win.zip

Instructions, Mac:

On mac it gets a bit more complicated.

To find out which client version you have installed on your mac right click on the EVE Online application and select "show package contents" there navigate into Contents and then Resources.
Double click on the "EVE Online" application and note down the currently installed client version number in the top left corner.
From this you can download the appropriate patch for you.

1. Download the appropriate patch version for you.
2. Open it by double clicking on it after it's been downloaded to extract it.
3. Command-click your EVE Online client and select “Show Package Content”
4. In the new window that popped up, browse into “Contents” and then “Resources”
5. Copy the .patch file into this folder
6. Run the launcher.

Here are the Mac patch files.

Apparently there's no link for 369870-384443 patch for windows..

But you can still solve this by downloading:
1. 369870-379356 patch, http://content.eveonline.com/379356/EVE_Online_369870-379356_win.zip (~974MB)
2. 379356-384443 patch, http://content.eveonline.com/384443/EVE_Online_379356-384443_win.zip (~18MB)

Since the 1st patch is ~1GB, I recommend downloading it using download manager (like FDM or IDM) to prevent data downloaded become corrupted. Extract both files into EVE folder. If launcher fail to detect it, 'force' it using import function. Should be working fine.

Then perhaps it's something to do with your launcher not working 'properly' for some reason. (Not that the launcher is working properly as it is, but at least it's 'working' recently.. Lol

).

Regarding the launcher ignoring the imported patch, had that before. (Quite persistent ain't it?) So I had to 'force' it further to apply the patch. Can't really remember the exact way how I did it but assuming your launcher is up-to-date (v1.32) and the patches you downloaded are not corrupted, then try this:

1. Launch the launcher. (PC connected to Internet). Wait for a while.
2. Once it come to the state of either "validating 0%" or "downloading xxx-xxx.patch", just ignore it.
3. Now, disconnect your PC from Internet. That is, pull the LAN plug or disconnect from current wireless AP.
(I know.. but it had to be done!)
4. Launcher will prompt about error etc. Now, try the import function again. Hopefully, it will apply the patch correctly.
5. Repeat 1-4 for 2nd patch.

After both patch already applied, then run the launcher again. Let me know if it works.

Tried that,negative.Even though the net was disconnected it was still trying to crete patch 369870-384443 even after the import of the 1st patch (the 369870 to the intermediate version one).
I took severe measures after that by hard formating and re-installing windows going from 64 to 32 bit.Still it didn't work.Now I am downloading the whole client again (3rd time in the last week) and I will try to run the game skipping the launcher.If this does not work again,I am afraid a pilot's life has ended.It's just frustrating!

Well,at last I was able to run EVE by hard formating to 32 bit version of windows 7,then downloading and installing the client before everything else and even then,I had to check the "run as administrator" and "compatibility mode - windows XP service pack 3" settings.
I am not sure if this will make it for long,but I really thank you v3nd3tt4 for all your precious help.

We have had some reports that players are unable to apply the .patch files as the launcher will start and then close when it can not connect to the content delivery server, thus players can not access the 'Settings' window or the 'Import' patch button.

If this happens then you can download the .patch file from the links on the first page of this thread and then follow the instructions below to force the client to apply the patch:

1. Download the patch and put it into the launcher folder of the client
2. Rename the patch file to something simple to re-type such as ‘one.patch’
3. Open a window to the launcher folder and copy the command line for example : C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\launcher
4. Press the windows key + R and paste the command line and add to it ‘\applyPatch one.patch’ example : C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\launcher\ applyPatch one.patch
5. Once you press the Enter key the patch will be applied

Please make sure to only apply the patch which is relevant to your client version.

Either its corrupt or it fails or something else along those lines, it's start to get really annoying where I normally have to wait for someone else to upload and then manually patch the patch as you now no longer supply the manual patches anymore.

I don't even get that far. 65% patched before I get the corrupted status.

EDIT: I retract the above statement. I'm on my 3rd attempt to install the patch, and now it hangs at 50% before saying "LOLNOPE CORRUPTED".
