Running repair.exe as admin, then opening the game via ExeFile.exe has fixed it for me.

Any idea when you guys will fix this? Will it be after something that you need to tweak thats not broken?

Hey just asking. Need to know if I need to quit my subscription if this is an ever-fail.


You must be new here...

I hate to say it, but this is very very bad: (

Multiboxing **** with new launcher, and WTF OFFLINE MODE !

I do not like beta testers on a live server.

We welcome all constructive feedback and comments and our developers will monitor the comments closely.




Feedback.: don't post at 14:31 on the day of the update stating how it's an upcoming patch. An actual
heads-up AHEAD of time is useful.

Got the first, no joy on the 2nd.

Repair.exe just ran off and is drinking my Tequila in the corner sobbing something about "don't send me back in there..."

Ugh

Launcher (2nd one) just loaded...... SLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWLy....

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 was a good few hours back. Any update? What is happening? Is it going to be fixed later tonight? Should we make other plans? Is there a work around?

COMMUNICATE! How hard is it to COMMUNICATE!?!!

Go here and download this

http://cdn1.eveonline.com/EveOnlineLauncher/release/EVEOnlineLauncher_2_1_539169.exe

Install

Overwrite Launcher

CLOSE Launcher (It did not load your settings)

Delete all current Toolbar and Desktop Icons.

Start > Programs > Eve > Eve Launcher

Run Launcher.

Restart launcher until you get login page (this issue is server side)

Set up new desktop Icons.



PS: There is a server side issue with the web based login. This is because using the HTTP protocol to log in is slow and subject to timeouts under heavy load. It was not designed for for this.

[b]If your griefing about EvE online and still paying for it, your hooked and CCP has done thier job.

Now go blow somebodies ship up and stop whining about whatever your are lacking.[/b]

GUYS NO NEED TO USE LAUNCHER !!

SEARCH FOR "ExeFile.exe"

It has a nice Eve icon, never had to use the launcher before why start using it now?


Stop bitching about a piece of unneeded software that bloats the Client anyway?

GUYS NO NEED TO USE LAUNCHER !!

SEARCH FOR "ExeFile.exe"


Run ExeFile.exe And never worry about the launcher again!!

Until CCP nerf that method!

Not claiming to have a fully working fix here - but it worked for me patching up my other computers so if anyone want to try go for it.

http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip (it's the files that got modified for me today, 50mb)

Copy and while launcher will still most likely fail, start the exefile.exe straight from the \bin folder.

On your own risk ofc but worked fine for me.

Else many suggested running repair.exe which seems to work in some cases.

thanks Chribba, worked like a charm!

That is all.

Utterly utterly awful and woeful in every way. The launcher was bad enough. This new one reaches a new low in terminally awful barrel scraping features...

For those of you who can't log in via the exefile.exe in the bin folder - first repair the client via the repair.exe and only then execute the exefile.exe

After failing with updating Launcher and having same problems as others I used repair tool and entered the game from
bin/exefile.exe and worked for me. Not gonna risk starting trough Launcher Cool
