Sometimes, when connecting via a hotel or restaurant wireless network, you'll connect to the network and have to open your browser to "login" or accept some silly terms and conditions that you don't read anyway. If you attempt to login to EvE and forget to open your browser first, the launcher permanently crashes every time you try to login, even if you fix the problem. It says to run the "repair tool" but that tool doesn't fix anything. Just says you're good. Have had to redownload the entire client several times now. Not fun.

Not sure if there's a fix for this, but buyer beware and make sure you open a browser first when playing on public wifi so you don't screw up your launcher.
