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

WHY DO YOU HAVE TO CHANGE SOMETHING THAT DIDN'T NEED A CHANGE?

And yes, CAPS!

Now it's broken and you don't know how to fix it! You blame it on antivirus and such!

YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED!

if you want to skip the launcher in general, or if you want to play now that this update borked up the launcher :)


I get an "Incompatible Protocol" error using this.

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.


If it helps your diagnostic process, your API is also misbehaving. Specifically, character sheet data is no longer being provided.

Prob not related, but who knows?

First of all, "semantics" is the study of meaning. Is there a hidden meaning in the paths you choose?

Second of all, we play eve - we're definitely not patient!

Tried the repair.exe tool. It panicked and crashed. Now even the launcher will not run.Cry
Re-ran repair tool and was able to run bin/ExeFile.exe to get online.

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.


why is the launcher not saving all account names? it seams to randomly delete the last one your entered

OMG when can i get a pic here

I can get to the first site, i can't get to the 2nd one.

When I load the launcher I get this:

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