Well my launcher seems to work if there is any issue it launches a lot slower.

Yeah Launcher gives me the offline finger also. Links do work, albeit very slowly.

Bypass the launcher.

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


Evefile.exe starts the game, but after entering credentials i get:

Joy of joys. You broke my repair tool too. I'd tell you how, but the forums say I can't post HTML.

Had to download the installer from the link you provided. Installed it for all clients.
Get this when I start EVE:
- Launcher starts
- Popup:

If I launch EVE itself, it sells me "invalid protocol", can't login. Hurry up, one of my skillqeues has only 7h left!

Both links you provided to test are instantly dead

Thank you CCP for great and cool looking new Launcher. I know that the old one was bit old, not so cool looking. And most importantly it worked quite fine. We really needed that new one. Who want's old stuff anyway.

Now i have launcher which went from Unknown status of the server to blank window after repair and won't launch the game. Which is actually quite nice. At least i have something to. I guess it's some kind of new minigame from CCP side. "If you can log in, you are winner."

Thanks again, please DO CONTINUE in releasing half done things. I have big expectations with Odyssey. Please do not dissapoint me!

Also i will gladly pay you 1,495€ per month and all will be just fine.

No and no.

I can ping and trace the server(s) but I don't get any answer on the http(s) requests.

CCP Greyscale: As to starbases, we agree it's pretty terrible, but we don't want to delay the entire release just for this one factor.

1) I can't seem to connect the first one.
2) The second one is loading within a sec.

Just run exefile.exe in the bin directory, and it works fine


Not for me - I get incompatible version message. Repair tool fails as well.

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...


If you run the repair tool, apparently it will fix your eve.exe (bypassing the launcher) and you can run that.

However some people have been getting fatal errors when doing that too.

YOU CAN GET AROUND THE LAUNCHER.

I just logged in after having the same issues.

First - Run the repair tool

Second - Navigate to and run the following EXE - CCP\EVE\Bin\ExeFile
