ISP Caching is breaking my repair tool and launcher because the pages it requests that tell it when and how to install a new patch are being cached by my ISP's webserver.
I posted about it here:

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....



same thing is happening to me after every patch..

I tried a lot of things except new install.

Now after several switching from client self updating to launcher self updating trying to start launcher gives me error to check what operating system and program version do I have since it is 32 bit and windows are 64 bit or something???

Wish I had copied the info from the launcher.log file, but the suspect line was "failed to uninstall".

Manually downloading the latest launcher installer fixed the issue.

Next small patch, if it happens again, I'll grab the log file and paste it here.

Please do. And just to make sure: You are not starting the launcher from an icon that was pinned to the taskbar, are you?

Hi CCP, I also have a question.

The launcher, well enough has been said about it, but for TQ it works.
However, when I click on my SiSi shortcut, it loads the new launcher, as in the new new launcher that comes with SiSi.

There are no buttons, and it points to TQ, not Sisi, I cant find a field where to log on, or press launch at all.
From some forum feedback, I guess this is because I run Win8.

Is there a fix for the test server launcher in the works, or do win8 users fire up the sisi client via the exe file in the bin directory?

Have you checked that the shortcut is set up correctly?

The launcher does not work for me.

(For the Devs: Its an ISP Caching probem. The files needed to identify the patch version never change size. They are text files of exactly the same size day to day. Since an ISP web cache uses the file size to determine if the file has changed it never updates in certain types of caches. This is mostly true in satellite internet such as I have. Properly handle the caching issue, and do what needs to be done to clear the current caches and you should be good. See this post: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=258646&find=unread)

The launcher wont auto apply a patch so here's how you force it to take a downloaded patch:

1. Download it to whatever directory you would like
2. With an internet connection open the launcher and let it fail
3. Go to settings -> patches -> import the patch.
4. Rerun the launcher. It will force it to be installed.

Hello,

I just wanted to add in this thread my problem. Today i launch the eve client, it then detects incompatible protocol so the client now detects a new version so it ask s for a 6mb download. Ounce it finishes it goes thru the process of updating closing the client, after several minutes after a 24mb download it starts another 1mb download which at this point it wont do nothing else. I forcibly close the the patching window and relaunch the eve launcher thru the launcher/appdata folder and to my surprise after 15 minutes the eve launcher just stucks on the 1/4 validating client. So i try launching client again and since the 6mb was already downloaded it goes difrectly to the updating window which now i am getting an error and it asks for the repair tool. I run the repair too and oi get an error.

Try heading here, select your OS, and click the link for "Generic Patcher". You should get a .exe for the latest client patch. Let me know if this works please.

That message is actually coming from the proxy where it seems to have trouble resolving the domain name for client.eveonline.com.

In case you have set this up yourself, check if the SSL port (443) is also handled correctly by your proxy.
