I'm also getting the error below:

You are seeing this because no connection could be made to the content server or something went wrong while loading the online content.

Bypass the launcher.

Go to C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\evefile.exe

Honestly CCP, idgi. People in the Sisi subforum thread about the launcher told you about this broken launcher software and reported bugs. And every bug reported weeks and days ago is now again in this thread. If you roll out software to TQ actually make sure that the bugs ALREADY reported are fixed. o7 boot.ini

Game launcher did not open. Had to continuously spam the launcher.exe while getting errors until I got the game to launch.
After some time the game would start updating.

Getting a grey "PLAY" button on the new launcher.

Unable to play.

Very dissatisfied.

i had problem getting to download the new launcher. When i finally did and turn it on the line at the bottom doesnt go yellow at all, i suppose it doesnt update or verify properly, than i get this error msg:

Unable to download remote build number
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "lib\update.pyo", line 597, in run

And it continues.
When i turn off the error menu i am able to enter name and password but the play button stays gray.

1) Yes
2) Very slowly

Starting ExeFile.exe opens EVE but server status shows as 'Incompatible (Protocol)'

For those reporting connection errors, are you able to connect to https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3 and http://client.eveonline.com/patches/win_launcherinfoTQ_inc.txt



If by connecting you mean simply clicking the links then the first link takes 2 min or so to connect to a very sparse
looking webpage, the 2nd shows launcher info and is fast to show page.

Can we have a launcher restart count similar to the ship spin one pwease ? 14 and counting but I could of lost count though....


Marginally better effort than the boot.ini fiasco :)

It's not normal that I feel the need to post negatively in these threads, but this new launcher only recently appeared on Sisi in it's current state - there was a lot of negative feedback about it - particularly for those running multiple accounts. It's a massive pain to login multiple characters quickly. To see the launcher suddenly appear (and even more broken) on the live server seems to be a massive mistake.

Bad CCP. Bad.

using multiple installs, when I reopen one ive used a few mins before the account name has been removed.

looks like as soon as the launcher is closed, any account names are removed form it.

well done well done. your making this way more annoying that it could be

OMG when can i get a pic here

All my problems were fixed when I turned off my firewall.

A temporary fix, obviously.

Step 1:Release a broken launcher update
Step 2:Dont post any information on how to fix it
Step 3:Wait for players to help other players get online
Step 4: PROFIT!


Im usually pretty understanding when updates have bugs and things go wrong with the servers CCP but....I get the feeling that this patch was a bit premature and Im not impressed.

I am unable to browse the 2 links you told us to try in message #43.

I play from Canada, province of Quebec if my location can help you.

I got those error messages for link #1 and # 2 respectively:


Service Unavailable

HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable.

I can get EVE to load via the exe file but then i'm met with incompatible protocol, and i'm getting a new build download message which seems to download and install but it then repeats the next time I open EVE over and over again.

This happened to me too, fixed it by running the repair tool (repair.exe) in the EVE root folder. After that running the game with ExeFile.exe worked. Launcher still not working for me tho.

Also getting the Offline Mode error. Frustrating.

Tried the workaround suggested (running the exe file itself and therefore bypassing the launcher) but although I get the old log-in screen apparently it is 'not compatible' when I try to log in.

Anyone else got any other ideas or do we need to wait for CCP to repair whatever damage has been done? Sounds like this launcher is going to be a PITA even when it is working for users with multiple accounts...
