In case there is any question as to whats going on with Mac

They are probably finding the FTP w/ micro transaction model to be more profitable and thus shifting people that way.

Just spamming cause it works

Chribba > all CCP together ......... by far

Do me a favor CCP, when your done making a mess of things, and get this fixed, Contact me at Muleagain@hotmail.com. I removed Eve Online from my computer, because your installer wouldn't work. Now I can't get your Eve_Online_Installer to install.

I am so fed up with you breaking things that didn't need to be "Fixed", and not fixing things that needed to be fixed. Oh and hey, can you put all my toons 8 accounts, to skilling the longest skill you can find till you get things running right again? Did you people even think while you were screwing this up? I am not sure what you thought needed to be fixed, but I do know a swift kick in some of your Dev's cans might be the answer to all of Eve's problems. Where are the T 3 BS's? Promised never delivered, when are you going to fix invention? Nothing being done that needs fixing but oh hey! We have decided to screw up some more stuff to fix later. Get it fixed or I go somewhere else. I really don't want to quit Eve, rather like the game, don't like the way you "Fix" things only to have the fixes go to hell very rapidly. Every download, not one or two, but every single download needs a fix. Why is that? Can't get it right the 1st time? Quit putting beta stuff out. Fix it right before you pass it on as ready to go. Might take me a week just to get the damn game downloaded again. It's ok tho, I was getting tired of skilling.


Space is not the final frontier......

The Human Mind is!!!

Well, at least i auto- and unit-test my stuff ...

This is really a few separate threads of rage merged into one, isn't it? Fwiw, I'm now going into my 3rd hour of running the repair tool over and over again trying to set myself up to even attempt the other fixes, so that might be coloring my reactions as I read through the thread and few dev responses.

* Kudos first to the most epic persistent gatecamp in Eve--whoever is camping the gate between the Sisi feedback forum and CCP developers has once again shown they are absolute masters of the craft. I bow to both their effectiveness and their dedication.

* Ever play that game..."The Worst Job in the World Has Got to Be...." with friends and family? My nomination for today is "Whoever is in charge of Public/Customer Relations for CCP". Holy hell. Since any professional in the field, talented amateur, or drooling, brain-injured sloth would be taking even some basic steps like

---------1) Placing regular, time-stamped updates on the first post of this thread with the latest information directly pertaining to the problem and when the playerbase is likely to hear from CCP again on the issue.

---------2) Insisting that any time there is going to be an update with the client, that it is announced ahead of time, and that there is a link on the launcher, on the forums, on your twitter feed, whatever, that points to what the update IS and why you're downloading anything at all instead of proceeding directly to Eve. Why frustrate customers completely needlessly?

---------3) Staying ahead of the rage, and providing a way to encourage its diversion. Where's the thread started by CCP titled "Show us the best thing about the new launcher in this thread. We'll pick one random entry to win a PLEX." You have the most creative, snarky, hilarious playerbase in gaming. Laugh at yourself, and let us laugh too. Isn't that better than reading page after page of how horrible you are?

Since none of these are happening, I can only assume that the Customer Relations folks are being forcibly prevented from doing their jobs. Being tied to a flagpole and beaten with hoses when you're honorably striving to keep the community updated with news makes for a horrific work environment. If you guys manage to send out a Morse Code message by blinking or something, we'll try to mount a rescue. We love you and believe in your ability to excel at your vital mission. Honestly, the coder types, I understand that an hourly update is probably taking them away from their work too much, but what exactly is today's higher priority item than this for Customer/Public Relations?

* It really isn't even rage at this point from your longer-term players, CCP. It's kind of a bewildered amusement/frustration mix. I await with pleasure the day that you figure out once and for all how feedback loops with your players actually work, and show us that efforts we make to tell you something isn't working actually translate into efforts being made to, you know, have them work. Right now it's more along the lines of, "Oh look, the cat is sitting in the litter box and pooping over the side again" every time we go through these "rough patches".

In good humor, and slight annoyance,

Boiglio

opened eve in safemode, launcher reinstalled, all working again.

https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3 just randomly started working for me, and now the launcher works.


originally it was taking forever to connect, very much like what you'd expect to see when a website is horribly overloaded with traffic, or by a DDoS.

I did the repair and it downloaded somethings and now the direct exefile works and I dont get the incompatible protocol anymore.

CONFIRMED.. MAC WILL PATCH AND IS WORKING!
