You cant enter your login data that easily, because you dont know your log-in-data?!Shocked


You can use the same EVE executable directly, it's just buried under your Steam apps install.

Look for: "C:\Program Files\Steam\steamapps\common\eve online\bin\ExeFile.exe"


Looks like i get a standard login for non steam accounts when I do that. You got it to work?



We keep missing each other. SadBig smile

Yes. Has worked for me for many months.

Ya the 5 min post timer is a pain.

Be nice if Steam and CCP could get on the same page and stay there......
Steam EVE was a regrettable mistake.

I'm having the same issues, if not worse. I have 3 accounts, one of which is through Steam. I have tried uninstalling and re-downloading the client, but it won't even install. It looks like its working, then it "completes" fast and says "failed". So after realizing i just deleted EVE off my computer and now can not get it back, I searched through Steam and found the launcher that i downloaded from it. Still, not working. So I came here and saw everyone saying, "use the exefile.exe"... So, I did that. And to my dismay, that isn't working either. It opens and gives a reminder of the simple days of the old launcher. BUT! every time I open it, it automatically prompts me that there's an update. NO MATTER if you press "ok" or try to close the box, IT WILL AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE AND START THE CLIENT UPDATE. THUS, CLOSING THE ENTIRE WINDOW AND TAKING YOU BACK TO THE CLIENT, which still fails to connect to the server and update. So... What should I do?


P.S. Alert on failed client update says something along the lines of, "unable to connect to server. Unable to update patch from:

PLEASE HELP
