Test Server Feedback

The "--args /server:Singularity" is for Mac users. You really only need to use /server:Singularity as the parameter on Windows

Thank you for responding.

Please see post #52 which was before your quote which detailed all the information requested.

The Repair tool works for SiSi, but when it completes, it does not give an option to start eve.

Using the standard shortcut to the eve.exe gives the exception listed in post #52.

I don't have any idea how to connect other than those two listed ways from the eve wiki.

As someone living in a country which still apply bw limitations to internet as a method, I know that unfortunately us that share this misfortune cannot just "reinstall" EVE everytime it hangs. It is already a matter of choice sometimes to download a 1Gb patch. As a rule of thumb I left the bw consuming measures for last resort, chnaging to other consuming resources that I can spare. My troubleshooting routine that have been sparing me extra bw taxes is as follows (I hope it helps someone):

- Always have a copy from the last functional client before the patch to be, shortcuts to exefile for TQ and Sisi and for the launcher for both aswell. That come in handy shall some of the following steps fail;

- Only launch the launcher in update days, avoiding using the launcher when it is not necessary. Launcher mini updates may be cool and stuff, but if you have to take care of bw, it is better to only get them when you have to;

- Make the shortcuts both TQ and SiSi direct to the exefile, as it asks you before doing downloads and you can plan what to do;

- If it is a standard install of EVE client, copy it to another folder that is not covered by the broken umbrella of windows OS protections. I advise to make it to another HD, even a removeable if possible. After you made the copy, uninstall EVE and run from the uninstalled copy. You may want to install at first the eve client to correctly make windows run it, not sine qua non condition, but sometimes it may help solve some situations;

- When you are updating, do not panic about frozen progress or frozen launcher if it is couple minutes, because I usually have that but when I move the mouse over the launcher screen, it soon catches up. ISPs running BW limits also usually runs download throttling for analysis and filter against P2P software, so Download anything large in this ISPs take considerably more time than usual. The game performance is also prejudicated by those;

My setup includes two ISPs which came to help me with a lot of problems. I use a 3G/4G mobile dongle to play the game, and only use the fixed Internet to download updates and quick logins. That resolved my problem with socket errors and general network performance. My fixed internet has a good speed for browsing and downloading, but general gaming and mm gets broken very often due to crappy tech used by my ISP (which is the same as many european ISPs).

Since I started going like this, I have never had multiple patch tries or socket errors.

Hi, i have some troubles too

I reinstalled eve using the client from the site.

I was stuck at 27,9%

now im stuck at 25%

LOGFILE

i deleted the logfil and restarted i saw that we stuck every time at the end of the logfil at



it write some line more stops everything.

PS: thanks you for the "post must not contain http" blablabla !! :/ it helps a lot !

ok after deleting this file and downloaded it with the repairtool im stucking at:




the problem is that resDX9Scene.stuff !

Hi and thanks you for your reply.

Yes i have run it with the administrator privilege.

The only file i know that is corrupted is the 'resDX9Scene.stuff' because when the launcher check this file i find that 2 blocks are missing and stop everything. so we cant know if the next files are ok or not.

This can be easily fixed if you guys can add arguments of the shortuts of the repairtool: instead of repairing wtih TQ build and files and trying to patch it as a SISI build it will repair it with SISI files directly.

no ?

Today I have deleted the 'resDX9Scene.stuff' like the other time and launched the repairtool, it downloaded it and



i closed the repairtool at the end.

i tried to launch repairtool after this and i succesfull repaired the build, in less than 10sec.

i launched the launcher ! it worked and patched to 100% and now it is stuck at

(3/4): APPLYING EVE_ONLINE_662240-662180_WIN.PATCH: 100.0%



i closed the launcher and relanched it and



i controled and there is no lib and script folder on my eve sisi folder. i created two empty lib and script folder and relaunched the launcher.

It process everything without error and stops. 100% and step 3/4



i removed the delete files after patch option. lanched the launcher and

same results as the last.

now i launch the repairtool.
la

same results.

why it stops at (3/4): APPLYING EVE_ONLINE_662240-662180_WIN.PATCH: 100.0%

it dont go at the next steps after the analytics



???? :(((( you almost got it :(

i hope this will never happen on TQ, but i know you, since 2003 i have never had problems with eve online, also when i was beta testing this game :p im confident.

I've been trying to get on sisi for past 2 days but can't seem to get the launcher to work right for me. I keep getting a timeout exception:

Traceback (most recent call last):

Not having any other problems with my internet connection. I've gone so far as to completely delete my sisi install and start fresh, but hasn't worked, nor has the repair tool which hangs at initializing patch.

Thanks for your reply.

Another difference with Launcher and Repairtool is that the launcher update with sisi file and the repairtool repair with TQ files. im right ? there is no argument to add to the shortcut to repair with sisi file directly ?

i give you my last launch with pastebin.

LOGFILE

thanks you. if i can do anything, let me know.

I did a tracert and it completed (10 hops), although it did take about a minute or so.

OK, do you have any firewall or proxy that might be interfering? Are you on a wireless or otherwise potentially unstable connection?

i tried a shortcuts of the repairtool with /server:singularity
it changes nothing
i edited the starts.ini with server singularity but it overwites with tq when i launch repairing. nice try lol

Its the first time i get problem with the launcher, and it is since the last release of sisi patch. on tq it works fine.
hmm even with the crappyiest connection ever, files cannot be corrupted each time donwnload it and each time at the same line.

but i dont know why this problem is very rare...
do you have some tools or /arguments to add to have a more detailed log ? i already use /log:debug /debughttp /uniquelog

I have done a comparison of the log of the failed sisi update and a log of a successfull last tq update.

i found that after all the deleting lines i need to get this to play !



why i dont get update successfull after the deleted lines. something is missing ?

To Soleil Fournier

1min a loop is too long, you get timeout. Try another conection with your 3G phone or something ^^ i had routing problem to eve online on the 2004's or 2005's years. packet loss etc... if your connection is ok for others tasks its a routing problem.

Show us a tracerout wich shows packetloss, i cant remember the name of the program.
