CCP is working on it. they don't WANT to have a problem with their game, especially having to put up with pages of whining. just be patient and let them fix it.
and no, they don't need to fire anyone. Roll


If they wanted a working product...well they had one before this morning. Also, there was ALOT of negative feedback on this launcher in the SiSi threads. Yet they felt they should push this out sooner rather than later...without addressing many of the issues raised.

But seriously, 50 pages in less than 2 hours! Way to go CCP, you really piled all of your 'win' into this thing!

Same messages as everyone else. No Eve. C'mon CCP at least QC your patches before making us download them. We ARE, after all, paying for this and I'm beginning to wonder why? Shocked

"On May 21, 2013, our web servers came under unusually heavy load which resulted in connection issues for all associated services that rely on the web servers, such as the EVE Launcher and the client repair tool. Our engineers have been investigating the issue with top priority and when this was written the investigation remains underway and will continue until the problem has been identified and services have been fully restored."

Or you could wait till CCP have an official fix than taking hax from other players which I'm unsure invalidates your ToS in the process?

CCP I'm not angry but what you need to do is admit that there is a problem with the new launcher apologize for the inconvenience, and ask people to send in log files or bug reports/ something that will help y'all in a location where players will see it not in the middle of 48 pages of mess. Then say a fix is on the way or something to assure players that the issue will be resolved. Just my advice Smile

Dear CPP

1) Your game launcher is not launching
2) Your web servers are not responding
3) Your communication is poor
4) Your customers are unhappy
5) You don't have prepared revert
6) Your new launcher is ugly and hard to use
7) Launching multibox is pain

What are you going to do with this situation?

I can understand bad patch, but no working solution that fixed it for all - this is amazing!
Fire your testing team, fire your TPM responsible for patch issuing.

Maybe then I'll come back from WoT and start playing EVE again.

kept trying to use the repair tool, after about 9001 errors it finally repaired. launcher still won't work, but started the eve application directly and here i am logged in and sperging up jita local

i'm sure they'll get around to fixing that launcher eventually

If you have problems with the new login patch here's the solution:

a) start exefile.exe from the ccp/bin/ folder ... let the update install fully.

b) run repair.exe from the ccp folder .. and let it repair completly.

c) start EVE directly from the exefile.exe in ccp/bin and not the launcher or the eve.exe in ccp

note: ccp/bin/exefile.exe is *not* ccp/evelauncher.exe or ccp/eve.exe , those start the launcher and that is *BROKEN* from the new update.
