EVERY. SINGLE. PATCH. FAILS!

Why?

Every week I have to go through this, I simply cannot play on patch days. Even after things FINALLY start to download it takes an hour to download a 7 mb file?

This patcher is broken. So frustrating when you are paying a monthly fee and have limited time in the evenings to play anyway.

After the patch failed for me, that was it, i couldn't do anything, ran the repair tool which completed successfully, but then none of the launcher shortcuts worked, or the .exe, tried to run all as administrator but still nothing.

Had to uninstall the game and re-install - Not happy! Sad

Running the repair tool after 3 attempts to pact using the launcher.. :((

Kinda horrible when the repair tool becomes a more reliable way to get patches then the launcher huh CCP. Kinda makes the launcher pointless desn't it CCP? Took longer to pull this thread, and post type this than it took the repair tool to upgrade the client.

But, I still get connection failed errors. I need to spam connect a dozen times to actually connect.

zes clients.. zey have bugz.. many many bugz!!

I'm in a hotel and using the secure wifi.

I attempted to connect with my Macbook and got the error.
Jumped over to my Windows 7 laptop and got the error.

Read through the reams of solutions and none looked relevant or panned out as functional... until.

I switched over to my mobile hot spot and tried and poof. The patcher patched.

I've not had an update problem in YEARS and this threw me for a loop.

Apparently the network monitoring software on the CCP end is being a ***** today.

Thanks for the helpful tips everyone and I hope you can get back on quickly.

Silly CCP with their silly launcher and silly patches.

Silly me for paying for a silly service.

What do I actually do with this file?

i tried downloading it then using the 'import patch' feature on the launcher, but it doesn't seem to do anything, just kind of freezes then gives the same 'exception' error, or just does nothing at all.

Place inside your Eve Online folder. Restart launcher. It should pick up the patch and patch the game.
If it doesn't try starting the launcher with administrator permissions.

It does basically the same thing,

1/4 Validating Client, takes about 1 minute+, 2/4 Creating patch, Eve_online_740727_789891_Win.Patch 0.0% (I notice this name does not match the downloaded patch name)

Then it says exception, pops up a window full of stuff it won't let me cut and paste into here.

This is extremely frustrating, I've only been playing 3 days. I can't figure out how to fix this, I've tried about 6 different methods and nothing is working, it won't even work on my PC or Laptop.

Does this just happen every week? I kind of regret buying it, I didn't realize the game broke this often, but it seems its quite frequent.

I had this problem once and I had a Steam version of the client I think. Not sure. Don't quote me on this.
To avoid it and to get a better control over login name and password, I created another non-Steam account and transferred my character to it.

What prevents your patching?
1. Firewall? Get the windows firewall back to default settings.
2. Permissions on writing files? Try relocating to a different directory or set proper permissions for EVE folder and all children folders.
3. Antivirus software? If a patch needs to modify a big file and your antivirus decides to scan that big file, your launcher may freeze. Turn off antivirus for a bit?
4. Some Eve specific settings? You can try backing first (!) and then deleting the folder c:\Users\YOUR USER NAME\AppData\Local\CCP\ Try deleting the launcher cache folder \Eve\launcher\cache\ There are also interesting files in that folder like launcher.2014-05-27.log. It is a text file that may tell you exactly what your launcher tries to do and fails.

Did you mention you have Steamed version of Eve? I am no software engineer but Steam needs to pass a unique ID to Eve Online login servers to allow you to play and that additional step is just another space for problems to occur.

Since you cannot copy the text of the error, try at least to take a screenshot. For Windows 8.1 you can press Win+PrintScreen and the screenshot will be saved in your pictures folder.

Are you sure you have been playing for three days? Big smile
AFAIK the first number is the current version of your client or something and the last number is the current version of the client that you need. I can see that I have a patch that starts with that figure. And I downloaded it on 29.04.2014. A month ago.

And a patch that I downloaded today.

You launcher may be trying to update a very old game setup (at least more than a month old) right to the present state without intermediate steps. And maybe that's why it fails.
