Running a x64bit W7 installation here.

After update, the launcher broke down.

Double-run for the repair.exe did not work.
Deleting the launcher folder and re-run of repair.exe did not work.

Thank god for ExeFile workaround Big smile

You could also try this if you haven't already, from here.

"...If that still doesn't work you can try getting the Launcher to reapply the patch by deleting to \CCP\EVE\common.ini "

worked good for me. not solving the entire problem, but still can play. a word to CCP: i am not paying money for solving by myself all these stupid issues! it took me 2 precious hours for doing your job.


PS: repair tool couldn't repair. tryed 6-7 times and nothing.
PS2: tryed to delete launcher folder, repair tool downloaded 23 MB and same error

PC:

The character information context menu stopped working;
i used to be able to click on the lined box left to the "character information" menu bar and get a drop down menu.

Now all i can do is rightclick / close

I remember having lot of options like give bounty / set standings. All gone or, more precisely, left click does nothing on that box anymore.

I'm at 110% UI size if that matters. Tried all UI sizes; no change.
The only workaround for me currently is linking the pilot/corp/alliance into a chat window and righclick to get the context menu back.

Addition:
POS hangars still don't remember their last opened position; very irritating.

1.07 patch applied and now i can't play. was working fine 5 minutes before shutdown and patch application.

in station graphics flash bright/dim. moving the mouse causes windows such as fitting, station services, etc to appear, disappear, be jumbled up with weird graphics, etc.

yes, i have the latest video drivers.

Intel integrated HD Graphics 3000 GPU

i realize that is a pretty weak graphic processor for this game, but that's why i did a trial account to see if i could play. it worked fine until the patch.

thanks

browsing the thread i saw folks talking about using the repair tool, so i tried that. seems like more of an 'unrepair tool' though since now i can't even log in.

Seems that re-installing the whole launcher fixes all problems with the general EVE start-up shortcut.
Tried it and it's fixed now.

Can you please try to run this file? It re installs the launcher and should fix the issue. When you start the game after that for the first time via the reinstalled launcher, it might appear as if your cache files have been deleted (user name isn't saved anymore and has to be entered again). If this happens to you simply close the client and start it again.

For multiple clients fullscreen mode sometimes is changed to windowed on exit.

Especially if taskbar or task manager is used to do final closure.

Not big deal.

NPCs will now only target drones in their size category.

Elite frigates and cruisers NPCs will go for small drones and above.
Frigates and Cruisers NPCs will go for medium drones and above.
Battleship NPCs will go for large drones.


Alright, I can live with that, honestly. I don't think I'll see much change in my L4s, but at least now I'm willing to mark that up to my carelessness, and the difficulty of L4s.

My thanks :) I didn't want all my drone skills to be completely wasted.

The safety level setting is now persisted on the server per character and will be restored when logging on.


Thanks for that, too. <3

PI outer ring indicators (% full or % done) in planet view do not work correctly (not at all or wrong amounts) at times.

Seems connected to Customs Office display being open at same time. On rare occasions neither POCO nor planetary view is correct. Always nice to double click on storage that says empty and have a huge amount of suddenly transfer to station.

Behavior seems to have started with Retribution 1.06 but I wasn't doing PI every day.

EXEFILE.EXE*32 fails to close when window/fullscreen graphics output closes. Probably crash reporting system isssue (doesn't detect crash reporting is complete).
Windows 7 Ultimate multiple clients.

Exefile.exe memory footprint will have various sizes from big to small (137MB being one favorite size in memory).

Typical cases:

1) User logs out then uses taskbar to close application instances.
2) Something goes wrong during application start and crashes window.

Impact low:
typically client updates fail with notice that EVE instances are running and user then goes to task manager.
however if no updates or computer reboot occurs old instances can pile up across playing sessions and slow performance.


FYI: There should be a point after which its obvious adequate reporting time has been exceeded. So consider quick and dirty solution of reporting timeout rather than relying solely on ever changing complex logic to check crash reporting is done. TIme being based on system speed and state (30-60 sec to exit sleep mode and 30-60 seconds to report) Not sure if you are currently counting idle cycles since that may be where you are hung up now waiting for disk access etc to resolve.

Hi

my client keeps crashing after session changes. I get connection is lost even though its not. I can stay logged in station and chat for an hour but as soon as i get into space and start to travel it crashes after a few jumps.

It feels like the same issue as when you use a titan bridge in fleet and crash on the other side but for almost every gate.

I've said it before, and i'll say it again, the new 'persistent' inventory windows are still NOT persistent when using any array at a tower, they always open up ontop of the previously opened array, and ALWAYS open on the 1st division, NOT the last previously used division (which is what we used to have, and how it was functioning for a bit on Bucky) This is occuring with the in-station corp 'office' hanger window. It never remembers which division i last used. Again, this was actually 'persistent' while it was on Bucky if memory serves.

Related to this, the station inventories are not remembering which window i used last (items) and still still tries to open straight into my ships cargohold every dock.

I'm am plain done giving feedback, as all my effort to do so seems to go un appreciated as devs skip over it in favor for the posts that ask about the button that already exists that users haven't found yet, or just making dumb 'for fun' comments.

CCP;

Please stop taking away functionality and hoping we don't notice, then ignore us when we do. Good luck with your next expansion, as unless you really start to show that my effort to give you honest feedback is worth the effort, i will not be giving you any help. Its a shame, since in a way i am paying your apparently overinflated salary that adds to your sense of smarter-than-users attitude.

This worked for me. I was using the exe file for Eve since the launcher wasn't working. I should add that I am using Windows 7 x64 Ultimate and have had no issues with patches or the launcher in past updates. If you have any other questions, let me know.

Restart your computer after you do a repair install. It fixed the problem for me.

I get that erorr too and repair.exe seems to do nothing. I ran it 6 times already, still not working.


Try this at your own risk, but I have found that if you just delete the entire "launcher" folder and then run the repair tool, the launcher will then work fine. Smile


maybe better rename launcher into Launcher_old...so you've got a backup.
But it did not fix the proble for me....

Dear CCP,

I doubt You are reading this thread. Because if You'd do, You wouldn't make some ridiculous ninja-"fixing" for drone aggro system.
Yesterday it was so so, but now I have already lost a set of heavy drones, because rats were constantly locking and shooting them completly ignoring me. EVEN AFTER I HAVE GATHERED DRONES TO THE BAY!! And right away re-locking them within 5s after I released them from the bay...

I am a fresh player, but from my point of view I have an opinion, that You have NO idea what You are doing and experimenting on live server waiting on ppl feedback...

If things will go this way, ppl will turn from drone boats and choose gun boasts instead. At least for PvEing...

My 2 cents.

Yesterdays patch broke the game for me also (Error occured, see the log, bla bla bla...)
Now if I try to launch the game through "/Eve Online/Eve.exe" i get the error and the .log.
If I try to launch through "/Eve Online/launcher/launcher.exe" i get the error and the .log.

The ONLY way to launch the game for me now is the "/Eve online/bin/ExeFile.exe"
This way there are no errors and the game launches perfectly fine...
