I'm running 10.5.8 as well and to date I have paid money to Eve and I have been able to enjoy a lovely game in exchange. Your new launcher update has changed that relationship. I guess from this answer my best option is to suspend payment to Eve until I upgrade my system. What?


This Exactly, Unlike windows PCs Mac last and run very well even on older OSs, and can still have the processing speed and video card to keep up with EVE. so it sadens me that you cut out all your slightly older Mac OS users. my accounts have been suspended as it will be quite ahile till i upgrade my OS

Bump, anyone have a fix that allows me to dual box again without "upgrading" my OS?

Got an account that needs a plex in 3 days... I may just clear its assets out instead

Hey you know what's awesome? It's been weeks now, I've done everything recommended, I've deleted and reinstalled several times, got rid of everything over and over, and guess what? Eh I'm sure you already know the answer, NOTHING WORKS! I'd rather just have a game never updated or patched that just frigging worked than one that breaks for weeks with nobody bothering to pay attention or fixing it, I'd like time back for this because a day or two, I get that, but this is beyond ridiculous, how about someone that actually works at ccp respond with the fix already, because wtf.

I could understand if they had added something new that requires a better system.
After all, the machines that were around in 2003 when this game launched sure cannot still play it.

But they haven't added any new capabilities. They haven't changed the game... they just broke the launcher... a launcher I don't even understand why we have.

Don't tell me that my 2009 machine is not capable of running the launcher, when it still runs the game...

Yes, we can still launch and run the game.... so its not as if the game no longer works with the older OS.

They just changed the launcher, adding zero functionality ( I don't miss the launcher one bit actually), the only change... I can't dual box anymore....

I'm transferring all assets out of my 2nd account, and letting it lapse until this is resolved

I wish that worked for me, but even if I go around the launcher, at first it worked, then it tells me I need a patch then goes right to restarting with the launcher, there is no way around this problem. and after deleting and reinstalling everything, even going straight through the app without using the launcher, it no longer works. yay ccp, you messed things up for apparently no reason whatsoever. please get your crap together because this is getting really tiresome.

since the 29th of july i've been experiencing the same problem, whenever i try to launch the launcher it just stops and says: eve online stopped unexpected. i've already tried deleting the game completely and reinstalling, i tried all the fixes on the internet but still nothing works.

What worked for me was downloading the eve online repair tool, this allows me to patch eve without doing a new instal (although it sounds like that doesn't work... is is possible that new installs are broke, but "fixed" old installs can keep chugging along?).

However, there's no more dual boxing, and thus my other account has lapsed -especially since I was training it as an OGB, and that got nerfed hard too, while the command ships also have generally seen a nerf to DPS, so I can't even use it to run lvl4s as well while my main is out waiting to do what it does.

So since the Odyssey update all my in game swatches are pixelated out such as in this picture here

[IMG]http://i469.photobucket.com/albums/rr58/Flux_Pics/Screenshot2013-06-10at65908PM.png[/IMG]

It is everything in markets etc and so annoying.X
I sent a bug report TWICE at the time and received no reply at all as to why this is happening now?Roll

So today I decided to delete the client files and re download the client and install it again in hope it would fix this problem.
So I did that and installed it.
Then I go to launch it and it says its removing old files and re-installing the one's required for the new launcher.ShockedShockedUgh

So here I am trying to get it to work on my iMac 10.6.8 for the second wipe and re-install, and getting this over and over.

Anyone have any suggestions apart from getting a PC?

Jesus I can't even link a friggin pic in here "BALLS" < edit: fixed it.

It says at the bottom of the terminal shot " URLError:< urlopen error [Errno 64] Host is down>

I am wondering if something is firewalling the link??

So what to do now........, drink Beer or Vodka?

I sent a complaint to support four days ago about this and all the other people having this issue, they have yet to respond with any sort of answer.

Man I feel your pain... and short from buying a new laptop I was wondering if anyone tried VMFusion? Yes you'd have to get Windows 7 installed on it but I wanted to see if anyone tried that. I've tried Parallels and Eve works but will not take advantage of both graphics cards I have on my 2011 Macbook Pro 17. Parellels is not really for games like Eve. So I was wondering if anyone tried running Eve on VMFusion/?

Thx...
