Several other threads relating to the mapObjects.db CRC errors have been directed here. As such, I'm replying to them here, but don't believe they are related to the other patch issues folks are describing.

If you are encountering the 'Verification failed: 'C:/Program Files(x86)/CCP/EVE/bin/staticdata/mapObjects.db' crc:a8331cbb, expected:d9c0042c" error, check for the existence of '%USERPROFILE%\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\CCP'. If it exists, delete it, and you should be able to launch normally.

The VirtualStore is a compatibility component of Windows Vista and higher. Essential, any time a non-elevated process tries to write to a file in certain folder structures, it is silently redirected to a similar structure in the VirtualStore. This allows older applications that don't understand UAC and which do not properly write to (which is to say, don't write to) protected areas to continue to function. It appears that at some point around patch time, the EVE ExeFile.exe process modified the bin/staticdata/mapObjects.db file. Windows created a copy of it in the VirtualStore, and hence forth all accesses by ExeFile.exe running under that same user security context are redirected to the file in the VirtualStore. Since the patches are run by a separate process, it doesn't get redirected to the VirtualStore, and sees the updated, valid file. This is why the repair tool doesn't find the old file.

Once you delete the file from the VirtualStore, the redirection is broken and ExeFile.exe will be able to open the new, patched file.

If you which to confirm this before deleting the files, fire up your favorite file access monitor (SysInternals ProcMon or similar) and start EVE. Search for any access attempt on mapObjects.db, and you should see that the access to bin/staticdata/mapObjects.db results in a reparse operation to the VirtualStore folder.

Since the launcher doesn't work I've spent a day and a half trying to download from the offline installer on a slow error ridden connection.

In comes Almethea and in 20 minutes I'm up and running! I like, like, like! You go girl!

My first time posting in this forum ever. I just wanted to thank Almethea for taking the time to post the downloadable patch. Been having troubles with the launcher and repair tool recently, and you are a true hero hehe. Took me hours before I stumbled upon this thread. I have nothing against CCP, but they really should be providing this service to those with problems. I tried everything from uninstalling and reinstalling and this is the only workaround that worked for me. So Almethea thank you and I will be sending you a very small token of my appreciation ingame. Sorry it's not much, but I'm not exactly rich lol. Thanks again and CCP should be taking note on how to provide customer service.

That's an interesting idea, but the method of patch delivery is out of customer support's hands. We recommend all suggestions be posted to the Features & Ideas Discussion part of the EVE Online forums, as the developers frequently read that forum section for feedback on existing systems as well as ideas for new ones. I have linked the relevant forum section below.

You can also submit a proposal through the CSM about this using this forum section:

I ignored the notice, just so I could play eve. Then just scanned my computer for anything, so far, no virus or malwares. :)
