The fix in this thread did not help. I attempted to install it using the instructions and it still did not function as intended. I am using the following fix to get in:


***ATTENTION*** -- TEMPORARY FIX

Repair and play.

1) C:\CCP\EVE\repair.exe

1a) If the repairer fails - re-run multiple times until it completes.

2) C:\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe

The game should load and let you connect without issue..

DO NOT under any circumstances re-run the patcher or this will break and you will have to do it over again.

-=-=-=-

Note - This took me about 5 minutes for the repairer to run.



This worked. Thanks

Run the 'REPAIR' exe from the main CCP/Eve folder, wait for this to finish.
Go to the Bin folder and run the 'Exefile' as admin, this then allowed me to log in as usual.

Do not use the short cut or try to login via the launcher as this does not work.



I approve of this message.

Keep on trying. Give the repair tool some time and remember to run everything as administrator

I double clicked it and after like 10 minutes it started, so just give it time. A lot of time, and it will boot eventually. Now it seems to be stuck on "Starting..." though. I'm just going to leave it alone and see what happens.

How can you tell when the repair tool is running and when it is finished? I click it and it doesn't seem to do much, but then when I click again it says it is running and cant open two instances of the repair program.

This is really fail ccp. Instead of these half asses fixes, pull the patch. Then sort it.

Running the /bin eve.exe file as admin (Win7) gets me in to the game atm .. launcher still thinks I am offline ... weeeee.

Hopefully they will get the launcher fixed soon, but I am in.

It's pretty obvious that they're either having server issues or there's a large network issue near their servers. Maybe network attack? The repair tool fails for me every time and when I look at the error log it generates, it states plainly that it cannot connect to http://client.eveonline.com/patches/repair_info.txt

When I load that file directly in a web browser it takes an extraordinarily long time to load. The repair tool errors out long before it could have loaded. I'm guessing that some people are having better luck at getting it to load.

The protocol error appears to be network related too. Maybe they changed something in the client that makes it slightly incompatible with the server(s) until it's properly updated?

I don't think this is going to be fixed by experimenting around and trying to force our way back online. It'll most likely be fixed when they can resolve the issue either with their network or client. It's too bad, I was looking forward to some online time.

If the launcher says you are offline it might be a firewall issue, it was for me anyways. It started working when i added an exception for the eve executables, i dno if the files have changed names because I have never had this issue before this patch

Guys, just keep trying to get the repairer to work, once you get it to starting wait, if you do that eventually it will work. Just make sure to use the bin starter once you do.

  • Klicked on the repair.exe -> waited about 5min to run


  • Then it telling you Starting... -> another 5min to 15min later it starts to downloading


  • and then telling you that it FAILS...


but after doing this go to the "bin" Folder and right click on the "ExeFile" and start it as admin! This sorted it out!

I will give you my private lazy workaround

right click on launcher Icon = Open File Location

now that you there you wanna find :

Bin

and inside scroll down to:

ExeFile

clicky clicky and there you go (worked for me)



May the force be with you as you try...but I may have exhausted it all ;P

I guess I'll have to reinstall. The rapid tool won't even do anything. Literally. I run it and nothing comes up. It just seems to hang as I can see it in my task manager. It does nothing at all. I have sat for as long as 10 minutes just waiting and nothing. I've tried it over 10 times now, and nothing.

I can't get the came to start from the bin launcher as I just get the incompatible message.

I've tried running as admin, I've tried just about everything. The fact that we even have to go through all these work arounds is kind of silly but none of them are working for me anyways. Very frustrating.
