No to the first one (https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3)
Second one loaded fast with no problems (http://client.eveonline.com/patches/win_launcherinfoTQ_inc.txt)

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

Worked fine for me.

I had to re-download the client b/c it said that the files were corrupted. I also manually downloaded the launcher and now it won't patch! WTF CCP!!

Anyone have a link to the latest patch and/or instructions on how to patch manually??

Chribba, you're a SAVIOUR!

I tried everything else, downloaded your patch, ran the exe file and I'm in.

Well done and thank you, Chribba !

Pretty sad when all of Eve has to rely on Chribba to play...he's a good dude from what I know but damn, doesnt CCP take our monies and plex? They get paid to provide a srevice and geek it up lol

Just posting to say that using the repair tool (had to run it twice, first time errored) and then running the eve.exe file in the bin folder worked for me. If you haven't tried that method, it's worth a try.

Get http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip, unzip in your eve folder, start bin/ExeFile.exe, be happy. Once the Server is fixed, you can use the launcher again.

Was able to connect to those no problem, still unable to connect to the main launcher.

If the straight exefile.exe launch does not work and showing incompatible protocol you could try this file.

This worked for me, at least for the time being. Ty Chribba <3


Chribba, always the life saver.


Confirmed, this solves the protocol error.

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

The main change is that it breaks the login process altogether.

Fixed your post.

Thank you for talking to your higher ups about investing a LITTLE more effort in minimal testing, and, possibly, rolling back to the state of art that actually worked very reliably before the Launcher was introduced. Even BITS beats this... this... trying to remain polite here... software.

Maybe because i'm also a developer, and these things are bad (yes it is a fail) but can happen all the time. We just have to wait patiently for a patch. In the mean time use this patch http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip


Dear CCP, PLEASE share this patch by your own developers. I don't trust this patch shared by another player.

New launcher completely broke the client for Steam users.
