EVE Information Portal

Well, SOE is the appropriate destiny for companies that love to screw up.

All ingame config is gone. EPIC FAIL

Relog and it should fix it all.

I'll throw my voice in with all the others about this:

With the new launcher logging in multiple accounts is a pain in the arse. Could you guys have designed it any worse? Maybe next time hire an engineering team with the sole purpose of making the customer's life harder? Actually nevermind, I think you nailed it this time. The only way it could be worse is if it punched me in the nuts when I click Play each time.

Thanks CCP!

Another customer asked if there was any player feedback on this and it hit me - WTH was the last CSM on this??????

Did none of them multibox? Did they really sign off on this? Were they given a dog and pony show - but were clueless that it was a bait-n-switch show?

Another reason to believe that CSM is a joke.

CCP - do a REAL Alpha/Beta with a enough people for a true sampling space and depth of ideas.

While CCP Devs pontificate on there latest creation....Chaos as some would call it, might I offer to the whole of CCP a solution to a lot of the problems thrown up by this patch.

To begin with it is long past time CCP started to treat it's clients, that is the little people that provide the cash to pay the bills etc. not as something subhuman or infantile which currently appears to be the case, but instead as intelligent mature individuals that really do have the ability to grasp complex explanations.

They would feel a lot less insulted and IMO be a lot more sympathetic towards problems if CCP came clean and admitted that it is the games success that is at the root of a lot of the problems and the inability of those that created it to see into the future and understand just how successful EVE would eventually become.

As a result the coding of EVE and the equipment it is currently running, and believe me they are dependent on each other, is far behind the required curve in the area of operating capacity and coding future proofing and must be fast approaching saturation in terms of it's ability to handle clients given current average user figures.

If as we all hope EVE is to continue into it's second decade of operation with any chance of success it will require a major re-coding and equipment update and surprisingly enough a lot of the community fully understand this problem and what it will take to resolve it, the standings issue alone which permeates the whole of EVE operations is a massive undertaking and is only one small part of the problem.

Information is key here guys, lay it out were you are going, how you intend and hope to get there and what problems you consider might forestall this process, nothing that intricate it might compromise game security but enough to indicate what's happening, why it's felt needed and how you intend to present this as a final product, tall order maybe but in the end when things go wrong, and they will go wrong, The community will be more understanding of what is happening and less of the vitriolic failure message mentality promoted mainly by lack of information

It also might be time for you to consider standing down from the six monthly update process for a year to concentrate on the full overhaul of EVE that is so obviously required, there must be now be enough written, tested and reliable code to allow for small sweeteners to be inserted over the course of a year that would allow you to do this.

The community knows were they need the game to go, you know how this can be achieved, time maybe to do what's required and save us all from this type of thread for years to come.

Now that you all have gotten your bitching out of the way, yes the new launcher is ****, and CCP have made a grave mistake, hundreds of people have said it, no need for more, i think CCP get the picture.

Now im still having a problem, when the launcher loads it goes through the process of checking for updates and downloads a small patch but when applying the patch at 100% it stops (3/4) and i cannot load the game, i have looked in my bin folder and cant find any exe file, idk if running it from steam makes it different can any1 help.

The few CSM that have spoken so far believe that the new launcher is not an issue and that everyone is just bitching because they are afraid of change.

only guessing here as dont use Eve via steam

steam / steamapps / common / ccp? /

While some might have found their ways of launching EVE, it is important for me to address that we are many that have not, and are still unable to play.

I hope finding a solution is the top priority by now. Subscribers and reputation is on the line.

Looking forward to be able to play.
