Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I'm getting another strange issue with the launcher today. If I leave it open and don't log in an account for a bit then when I tab out and try to log in it tells me it does not recognize my IP and makes me enter the name of a character on the account. I checked my IP and it did not change. The reason I'm sure it did not change is because I check my IP daily to make sure my little dinky webserver's DNS record is correct (I ain't shelling out what my ISP wants for a static IP). It's usually weeks to months between IP changes anyway but I still check it every day usually multiple times (it's my browser's homepage and I live on the Internet lol).

Anyway, to sum up, what's up with the launcher thinking my IP changed when it didn't?

I am still having issues with the launcher's login process. All of my attempts to communicate this to CCP have gone unanswered. Let me try to explain to explain the problem again.

I get 324 Errors whenever I try to access a number of EVE's login pages. I can't login to community.eveonline, secure.eveonline, or login.eveonline. When I try to access those pages, Chrome returns: "Error 324 (net::ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE): The server closed the connection without sending any data." This problem persists across all computers on my local network. I suspect that a secure connection is failing to be established between the login pages and my computer.

This affects the launcher since the launcher directly tries to connect to login.eveonline for login purposes. I experience the error through the launcher and this page: https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3.

I have filed two bug reports on this issue. One specific to the launcher issue (158877), and one specific to the websites (158874). I only realized later that they are in fact, the same issue. I also have been active on multiple forum posts. CCP has not responded to any of my posts. Here is the latest one: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3082892#post3082892 I also filed multiple petitions. The latest one is: #3234285

Please respond to something. I can't access account management, API's, petitions, the launcher.... Once the login is migrated out of the client, I will be completely unable to access EVE (except for the forums oddly enough).

That's what it looked like to me... Some people's kids.... *sigh*

Nothing involving the launcher would work just as effectively.

Let me be clear, the only time I use the launcher is to update my client. Other than that I don't touch it at all to access the game. I use ISboxer to manage my EVE clients, I right click on it select the character set I want to run and wait while it launches the EXEfile.exe with the appropriate clients with their relevant settings. I then enter their passwords and log in. If I were to actually sync my passwords I could even use the repeater functionality to reduce that to a single action but I prefer to maintain some additional security by using separate passwords.

This also means that to change characters on a given client I simply log off that instance and wait for it to restart to the login screen and change to the desired character.

The new launcher offers me nothing that I want and removes functionality that I use and value.

Of course the easy win/win answer would be to do whatever the hell they want with the launcher as long as they leave the exefile.exe functionality in place and everyone would be happy. The question is why this is not an acceptable solution, and no answer has been given.

It would be one thing if the new launcher was actually tied to some new functionality that I would find useful, but it isn't. It's just more bloatware being shoved down our throat for no discernible reason. What possible reason is there to change this? Why on earth would I want a single login in for a game that encourages and practically requires the use of multiple accounts? If they want us to be able to access services out of game then let us log into those services outside of the ******* game it's not that complicated to do.

CCP Atropos has already expressed the opinion that the current use players make of the ExeFile.exe makes no sense, so there would seem to be little chance of any sort of replacement for it, but nevertheless says that it will not be removed until an alternative is in place.

No great intellect is required to see an obvious conflict here.

Open the launcher, (NEW), Then open the Launcher settings, EVE Client settings Tab and click the 'Clear cached client data' button, reboot eve and try the repair option if it does not update as required.

Should allow you too update the client, if above fails a second time clear cache data again and then try the Bin/ EVE.exe method to open a client, .

It wouldn't be the Summer expansion without CCP causing a ruckus

I'm looking forward to the new launcher having the ability to coordinate the simultaneous launch of characters from all my accounts, along with the animated WebGL background with theme music.

I'm looking forward to a new SpongeBob Squarepants themed launcher with live streaming of WoW gameplay so the new target demographic players won't feel like they are missing anything.

I have had an issue trying to log in on my laptop; it's told me that there is a new build available, so I let it install, and it starts up the launcher, so I close it and run eve again, and it tells me that there is a new build available.

This cycle continues until I use the launcher to log in, then log out, close the launcher and log in without the launcher.

Can this be stopped, please? I will not use the launcher until it is finished, as it increases the time it takes me to start playing by about 5 minutes.

hmm...don't know if this goes here, but after yesterday's launcher update, my ingame keyboard support its gone.. i can type on the chats and all, but outside chat windows , ESC, ALt+N, ALT+G F10, F11...no keyboard shortcut works. Deinstaled and reinstaled a fresh client ... still no keyboard support ingame.... even going by the old login screen, i can't press enter to acept the username&pasword, must click on 'accept'

And as no keyboard shortcut works, i cannot launch the bugreport from ingame... i know there is an out-of-game bug report, but cant attach much usefull stuff..


..copied data info from /documents & settings/user/configuración local (local files)/datos de programa (program files)/CCP/ to the new generated /Configuración local/ ...it seems the language files cannot process the accentuated O (ó) and instead adds to the path name the ó ...as workaround should be fine but after checking didnt worked, deinstaled and reinstaled a fresh client ... still no keyboard shortcut support ingame.... ...and the repair tool gives an error when repairing... both before and after installing the client, saying this when used...

*****UPDATE:*****

Misteriously it got fixed next day i started up the computer again, so no issues running currently... i wonder what happened really... as the game had no keyboard support for like 3 days nonstop
