Adding new features that nobody needed which are worse than what we had before is at the very core of CCP's strive for :excellence:

For me the long validation took place on the first try and the settings were fubared. After closing things and trying again the validation was pretty much instantanious and the settings returned. I've had no troubles since.

I didnt lose any settings...possibly because I logged off and closed everything and then restarted it....like it has been posted and reposted and stickied and reposted from the sticky.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Just create a shortcut from the ExeFile.exe in the bin folder from where you installed EvE, no launcher needed that way, and you get the logoff option in the client

I'm experiencing issues getting it to patch / validate I'm getting about 1byte per second according to the repair tool which is also estimating many days to complete, however it fails and gives me a massive exception string :( I checked my connection loads I think something's wrong on ccps end cause I can stream TV or radio fine! (Yes I stopped these to patch, still doesn't work)

Got a few friends who where also complaining about this the last days so seems it still is a common issue.


Speaking for myself it goes slower then the old days but not in a length that it starts to get irritating yet.

We are all born ignorant, but one must work hard to remain stupid.

Hey dudes.
Well, they made this launcher thing so annoying that is pisses you every time you install the game to the point of not installing it anymore ever.
I've personally deleted games for that reason. So if this goes on, I simply wont give a damn about how the rest is, just take it as gibberish and forget about.
I guess there are many thinking somewhat the same.

With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

"Proxy not connected to sol servers."

You must love these things. I guess now, there is a server failure.
