Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I need the latest one cause my launcher doesent download automaticly it stops at Zero

I am having an issue with today's patch as well, the launcher is telling me it can't reach:


**EDIT**
Just kept trying, looks like for whatever reason it was not available..
on that note you can download the patch manually here:

Hi,
I was able to download the latest patch, extract it to the EVE folder but the launcher won't do anything and stays offline.
This is the way I used to manually patch before and it always worked.
Any idea to bypass this frakking launcher and apply the patch anyway?
For info, I did try to run repair.exe but this never not worked.
Been stuck for 1 week

Dear CCP,
Can you stop your PATCH SPAM ?
You must understand that for some player, your launcher is failing to update 99% of time.
We have to update manually, and try to download it first, ain't easy thing, a lot of fail too...
Would you mind a day to let these players clearly find patches, listed, and easy to dload ?

Actually i can't get this one... even manually...

PLEASE ONE EXPANSION = ONE PATCH.
PLEASE MAKE IT EASY TO ACCESS.

edit, launcher fails, manually fails, aaaaaaaaaaannnnnnd client:

The update was downloaded but it failed verification indicating that the file is corrupt. Would you like to download the file again?

You will not be able to enter the game until you download the update.

Fails

Hello!

I was trying numerous times to get my EVE client together,
after countless crashes. I've reinstalled, changed settings,
update software, etc. And still, Damned Runtime Error
was taking my game away. I was sure, some time ago,
that Carbon (Engine) implementation will make game unstable.
I was wrong. Launcher was Tne Nemesis to EVE.
I miss complete Off-Line Installers and Off-Line Patches
of old times. I dislike Launcher.

MESSAGE FOR PLAYERS:
*There is a fine line between Patch and Hotfix. Patch brings
major updates, and you can find its "number" easily.
Hotfixes change minor things, but mainly clear very
small bugs and issues, before they will become a problem

*There is a case, which I call "Worst Possible EVE Scenario",
and I'm suffering it for quite some time, and as I can see,
some of you guys too. And I'm dealing it in this way:
- Switching off my Net Connection
- Starting EVE (launcher will not kick off, but game asking
if I want to "Start EVE", and I do)
- Inputing all Login information (Login/Password) as usual
(if I will got "Incompatibile" Error, I know there's new Patch/Hotfix)
- I go for a full Server Status Info on http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php,
which will provide me with "number" of current Build and
time of deploy
- I'm Checking with My Version and Current Version, and I can
download a Patch/Hotfix from CCP database
- http://cdn1.eveonline.com/558834/EVE_Online_558040-558834_win.zip
This is Link for current Hotfix update, and Adress Structure
(which anyone of you can simply "create" is:
WWW + DATABASE + CURRENT BUILD NUMBER + FILE UPDATE + WIN.ZIP
where FILE UPDATE is a "Your Build Number-Current Build Number)
- If there is no file, I'm trying to use "small steps" and download few
small Build changes and apply them one after another
- To Apply, I unzip Patch/Hotfix file, copy it to '"Launcher" folder,
and Drag&Drop onto "applyPatch" application there
- Restart game witch Net off, then turn Net on, login and play.

*Summary: It's terribly "low-tech" and oldschool way of updating,
but it's 100% sure, and quite easy (I'm simple Hotel guy, not Techie).
Bad thing (or maybe not? :-P ) is that I CANNOT use Launcher
again, because Launcher have its own updates, and as we know,
they will eventually crush, and corrupt whole Client(!). I must
start EVE with Net off, and if I, by accident, start EVE with Net on,
I have to quickly disconnect, preventing Launcher Update.
With some Windows Versions, you will have to Alt+Tab
or Ctrl+Alt+Del, to switch off the Screen, when you Log Off/Quit,
and watch some Errors (cancel them, that's just your Windows
Crybaby Mode). But it's all, which can happen bad to your
"Off-line Account" ;-)


MESSAGE FOR DEVELOPERS:

*EVE is a great game and I'm enjoying it. Level of complexity is
a Pro not a Con. But software changes should be well planned

*We're facing major changes in Operation Systems, with
Windows trying to cut-off the XP, forget Vista, and make
a smooth transition from Win7 to Win8. There is no need
to rush on these changes, and guys, don't try to super-quickly
apply drastic changes, during this "time of eclipse"

*Launcher in EVE is just like in any other game, you wanted
to have Update/Launch/Check/Advertising Tool as a one.
And its not working well. Sorry, but it's true. Of course I can
brag about "old days" and so on, but back then, game was
super-stable, and only thing which could kill my mood,
was Jita Overcrowding, Massive Fleet Fights and some
Video Card Incompatibility

*Please, make this game stable again, and with such
massive files stack, please care about "Offline Options"

*Not all of players have patient to OS re-installation (which is
sometimes the only solution(!), or searching for some crazy
options like mine. That's not really easy way to stay fan.
Something must be done. I've read about Technological Debt
recently, and I think that could be the case (of course I'm not
specialist in this field).

FLY SAFE ALL!

Sweet thanks! After following your instructions it broke my Eve client. You rock! Now I get to delete everything and reinstall because opening the launcher does nothing. Just sits there. So thanks, I really appreciate you wasting a LOT of my time.

1) My guide was for completely unstable Launcher issues, and I told it's
"Worst Case Scenario". I don't recommend it, if you can re-install EVE
and make it working again (in my case re-install gave nothing),
or make successful Repair Client. After tempering with EVE
in my way, you CANNOT use launcher properly, and you CANNOT
let him update on its own - you need run it (or the eve.exe(Safe Mode) )
with off-line Internet. Only when you have login screen, you can switch
your Net on. And you have to do ALL future updates in bizzare way.
You should read my post carefully I have a friend with same issue,
and he did my way. His client working. You did something wrong
or you have some other problem than Launcher.

2) Learn to partial-quote.

Thank you.

My client version is 559197. The launcher keeps trying to download/create 534348-564012 but fails. None of the links to patches that are listed in this thread have helped. Any suggestions?

this is undeserving of CCP.

two patches ago, it broke on my laptop. 1 patch ago on my wife's PC.
now it broke on my gaming rig.

Its YOUR FAULT CCP!!!
Fix it.

Launcher issues - yay - still looking for a solution or something i haven't tried - also see this thread - Home » EVE Forums » EVE Technology and Research Center » Issues, Workarounds & Localization » The new launcher and the web server issues
