Problem Question

My full client needs to run the repair tool, it will download it and launch it. Wait...

The launcher refuses to patch or take an eternity to download it...
Download and extract the last patch
copy it in the ../CCP/EVE/
Launch the Launcher, wait, it sould patch your client .... pray.

The launcher patch himself (and fails)
reinstall it...

Next patch
I will update this post
Facing many issues, trying everything, spent hours on this forum... so i just share want i find to solve my problems.

Good Luck

Question to CCP:
How to Manually patch our client (in order to bypass this launcher ?)
Save time, Restore Hope

P.S : i decided to post this here, cause all sticky ones are melted, outdated...

How about the fact the F-ing thing doesn't update.

1) I launch EVE's Launcher and it downloads a launcher update...then NOTHING

2) I launch the game directly, it says there's 6MB update and closes the game, go back to #1

rinse and repeat.

EDIT:

And the ******* repair.exe doesn't work either. If "Fixes" things but then the launcher wants to download an update....

By update I mean the little white box that says "Downloading launcher update" with a progress bar.

EDIT 2:

Horray, OP's method worked....

Getting literally 0.1k/s with downloads droping from your content/cdn subdomains. It''s not my connection because thanks to OP I'm now downloading the files via a proxy at reasonable speeds

EDIT: Looks like the servers for those subdomains or routing to the subnets are borked - causing people's launcher update requests to time out. Downloaded patch file via a proxy server and unzipped it to eve directory and launcher skipped the 77mb download at 0.1k/s and updated OK for me.

CCP Atropos, thank you for looking into it and being this involved in getting the launcher fixed. Best product owner I know about :)

Seriously Dyner, that attitude gets you nowhere. Sure it sucks that the launcher didn't work for you and it should get fixed asap, but this dev is trying to help you guys, I would pay isk to get a dev to look at my long bug list :(

Obviously the devs and many players don't have any issues in getting the launcher updated so they need more info (the logs). There are so many different configurations on windows(linux is even worse...), not only the OS difference, internet connection, hardware differences(including dying hardware) but also software, virus scanners, firewalls, drivers etc etc that could influence the patch process.

Keep up the good work Atropos! :D (Sadly I'm not running into any bugs with the launcher or I would have send you logs)

Well heres my problem.. i open the launcher and it can not connect to the server.. so here is my log from the repair tool.. well ill give the part where it says error as im trying to work around the "May not contain HTML" error.

Quote:

urllib2.URLError: urlopen error [Errno 10060] A connection attempt failed because the connected party did not properly respond after a period of time, or established connection failed because connected host has failed to respond: 'http://client.eveonline.com/patches/repair_info.txt'

add in the arrows before urlopen and after the .txt'

Meaning my problem.. which means my launcher and the repair tool seem to have the wrong address perhaps? I don't know just happened 3-5 patches ago.

edit: made some corrections to the words i wrote, just waking up.

For those of you with low download speeds can you please answer me these questions:
Do you have a proxy configured somewhere?
Do you have any specific network setups like wi-fi, 3G or UMTS?
Do you use any 3rd party software for download acceleration / anti-virus / firewall / malware detection?
Are you running any other disk and network I/O related things in the background (f.e. torrent downloads)?
How many download threads do you have specified in the launcher settings?
Which patch are you downloading that is slow?

It s just an exotic post for exotics issues... To help others and me.
About the Launcher... it uses to download a patch at 1-5KB/s (in a galaxy far away), and sometimes looking to update himself...
I was thinking that CCP recieves my logs ("send Error and Usage Logs to CCP" in Launcher), i will care about these issues next time in order to detail them
I m not complaining or screwing, i just want to play EVEm and share my help :)

Don't give him **** for it tbfh, i'm running wired directly to the router, i'm not runnign DR.INERNET SPEED ACCELERATION PRO or anything and if i'm feeling particularly fruity i occasionally pause my sexytime torrents. I'm in the UK if that helps.

I'm still d/ling at 11k, through the exe file and the launcher, hadn't even logged in for three days because it was so bad i've not successfully patched, and actually had to google this so i could find instructions on how to install the patch file i downloaded off eve-files. This thread is pretty much the only thing that had kept me subbed today because it's proving such a ******* ballache to patch my client.

Something is broken. it's not my computer, which is merrily playing Other Games On The Internet. h2h m8.

Well I went to reinstall today as I have a new pc. I was getting 11KB/s d/loading the client, i tried resetting my router but that didn't help. In the end I connected to a London VPN to see if that made a difference and it maxed my connection out.

So i'll at least be able to use the VPN to d/load the client/patches, but theres defiantly something not quite right still.

Is it worth sending a tracert to someone?

When I try to run launcher with the new patch, I get the following:

First, it downloads the patch.

Then it gives me the following error message:

See the logfile 'C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\launcher\appdata\EVE_Online_Launcher-2.1.569300.win32' for details

What that contains is (some altering so it will post):

Filex os.pyo linex 157, inx makedirs
WindowsError Error 5 Accessx isx deniedx u'C Program Files (x86)\\launcher

Then if I try to run the launcher again, it seems to endlessly download the patch until I reboot.

I tried running repair. The first time it said there was a database error of PANIC, but the second time it worked. However, that didn't help other than update my version number (I think). The errors above were after the second repair, but the behavior was the same all time prior to that.

So I'm completely stuck until you resolve this.
