Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I tried using eve repair tool, 3 times it fails and closes, I tried to install a clean new version from the web and it fails after starting the launcher. Now I'm trying to download and run from the offline launcher but 1st time it failed too.

When I try to re-install from the web i get failed installation.3

HELP!

I pretty much have the same problem. Only solution I havent tried yet is to use an ehternet connection, or NOT using a slow wifi connection.

Any actually Launcher problems tend to go away after a week or so.

So whats your internet connection like? Can you go to a public library or a McDonald's? I live out in the middle of nowhere in a remote camp in Alaska. Im kind of stuck no matter what. So ironically I play WoW instead :) Or DOS games.

But yeah, I have some long skills that are going to be done soon as well, and would really like to get back into it.

Any Help?

I had the same issue as you how i resolved it was by first downloading a new client offline. Once i got the two main files i just use 7zip to extract both, once that is done combine the two into one folder and run eve directly from the folder using the .exe in the bin folder. Don't try replacing the the old eve installation folder with this one, you will end up with the same errors or at least i did. I run eve from a completely different drive now so i don't now if that was the fix or what but it works fine currently. As far as all your metadata just login to one of your accounts and a new folder will populate once it has just copy over the files from here(C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE) to have all you settings in place should be the same for windows 7 or 8 users. Hope this helps.

Look when i get the eve patch, launcher froze at validateing 0% eveexe in bin is unable to connect, reinstalled and nothing works

and **** you ccp for using fallback on small patch

start the launcher
click on the gear (top right on the launcher panel)
then in the launcher settings, click on "Patches" and uncheck "Delete Patches after use"


when the next patch hit TQ, check your eve install folder you should see these magic files

WTF CCP??? AGAIN? Do you people hire the same programmers the US government used for their healthcare exchanges or what?


Windows 8.1
two clients. $30 a month. For a game I have to reinstall every single time there is a patch!
This is ridiculous. This has been on going for over a year. I swear to god when this paid year for these two accounts expires in Feb or so I will not be resubb'ing as I am completely fed up with having to reinstall everytime CCP decides to push out a patch adding new content (and refuses to fix old content but that is a different post/rant).


Surely I am not the only one on windows 8.1 expeirenceing this??? I even formatted and reinstalled the OS thinking it could be it, but no. Low and behold here I am reinstalling Eve. AGAIN. and AGAIN.


I am one very very unhappy customer CCP. You are going to loose a almost 10 year customer over this. Nothing like downloading the eve client over slow metered frontier DSL over and over. And byt he time it finishes you will prob have released a pathc to fix the buggy patch you just released which means I get to do it all over again, like some horrible geeky groundhog day hell !!!!!!!!!

Almethea's dropbox file just worked for me. Hotel internet won't allow me to download the file, but I got it to patch with the file copied over just fine.
