Same problem as everyone else, when I run the repair tool it does its thing then after I launch the game it patches and re-breaks itself. So that's awesome.

On a fun side note, my GF left her launcher open overnight, when she pressed play it did a "patching 1/4" bar in the old launcher, then it all patched fine and she can log in. It was using the old launcher but since she never closed it it worked fine and shes ingame with around 30k other people.

I also cant run the binary file (First thing I tried), since the game goes to the log in screen but then demands a 6mb patch which "apparently" installs fine, but then if I relaunch the binary it just does it again, and again, and again. And launching the launcher just rebreaks things.

Fix Please.

The launcher won't start because I didn't use it before, I can't run it directly from the start bar and I my repair.exe is broken, so I'm going to have to reinstall the client. Thanks CCP.

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

the link to the .txt file works, the other links does not, saying "Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable."

launching bin/ExeFile.exe works here. errors might come because there was also a patch which the old launcher dowloaded right after dt (thanksgod!).

the last line from my linux terminal is

[0521/172040:ERROR:network_change_notifier_win.cc(111)] WSALookupServiceBegin failed with: 8

and then nothing more happens. restarting the launcher impossible, because the (old) task isnt ending (stays in taskmanager)

The connection issues are being investigated. This is a simple (but extremely annoying) case of our webservers not responding.

If your settings are gone then please restart the client/launcher. This apparently was an issue that could happen with the old launcher update mechanism that we replaced with a better version.

May I suggest fixing what's broken before breaking what's actually functioning?

For those reporting that their settings have been deleted, this issue is simply solved by restarting the EVE Launcher. This happens due to the updater automatically starting the EVE Launcher after it has been updated, with incorrect path semantics.

Secondly for those getting the offline mode webpage from within the EVE Launcher, this is because the EVE Launcher is timing out when attempting to connect to our webservers. We're currently looking into why the webservers aren't responding in a timely fashion, and hope to have this resolved as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

This thing wasn't working on Singularity properly either, I had to remove all the spaces in the EVE folder for it to work properly there.

Anyway, my wife wants to extend her thanks to CCP for rolling out a launcher that is successfully preventing me from playing EVE.

It would be great if you could supply us with your logs, or file a bug report with them.

1) yes, very slow
2) no

"No connection could be made to the content server. Please make sure that your Internet connection is up and restart the Launcher."

I disagree!

This was delayed big time and finally came up a couple minutes later. Once that did respond I was able to get the launcher to patch up.

I just want to know who the moron that decided to flush eve down the toilet with this launcher is

This is a quote from a member of the dev team:" The connection issues are being investigated. This is a simple (but extremely annoying) case of our webservers not responding.

I'm getting kind of nostalgic for getting the 'good' old CCP back, that manages to screw everyone over with what is supposed to be a simple update. Bear
