This is why I no longer bet on sure things, even when I'm positive nothing can go wrong. Smile

We're currently investigating several issues, as such the deployment downtime for EVE Online: Rubicon will be extended. We currently have no ETA for uptime, however please check back in this thread for updates!

We apologize for any inconvenience this extension to the deployment may cause.

UPDATE - 11:58 - Tranquility is online and is in VIP mode for testing. Also, Falcon is crying.
UPDATE - 12:23 - TQ is online! Rubicon is live!

If you are experiencing issues with your launcher, please follow these steps to fix it:

1. Go to your EVE folder, enter "launcher" directory.
2. Once there, you'll find "launcher.exe" and "launcher.old.exe"
3. Remove launcher.exe
4. rename launcher.old.exe to launcher.exe
5.Then go to "appdata" directory.
6. Remove "EVE_Online_Launcher-2.1.643940.win32"
7. keep the "EVE_Online_Launcher-2.1.613956.win32" one


Good job ccp... :)

Falcon there was an open bar anyways huh.

None of these Fixes work for me. i don't have the launcher.old.exe file anywhere. and the folder I'm supposed to delete is there but the folder i am supposed to keep is a completely different number. Now my launcher goes i hit play it says launching for a minute and goes back to saying play and nothing happens

edit; this is the only folder i have EVE_Online_Launcher-2.1.655130.win32

I have none of the files mentioned in the above fix. I've run the repair tool. When I try to launch the game it says loading and then goes back to the play button.

Ok, so I tried a few things.. Changing back to Direct X9 from the launcher tool made the game launch for me. Try that, folks!

Stuck here -> (3/4): APPLYING EVE_ONLINE_640633-653401_WIN.PATCH: 3.0%

No launcher old, nothing else works. I expect to see a post by CCP either resolving this or actually telling us how to get around this by the time I am off work tonight. Tired of having to pretend I'm a ****ing computer detective every time there is a patch.

Well - per the norm of the last several patches nothing worked properly. This worked for me:

1) Run repair.exe - it will fail, repeatedly - so only once is necessary.

2) Remove all the ".PATCH" files

3) Run repair.exe - runs in a few seconds.

Done. This worked for a simple install and for a Steam install.
