For a few days now i have problems with EVE launcher. When i start the laucher, the validation process often doesnt start and they play button stays grey after login. I have to start the launcher multiple times to get a working play button.

Today its much worse. I took me like 10 attemps to start EVE on my laptop and on my desktop it doesnt work at all. Sometimes when i start, it tries to install an update, but then i get an exception with a long error log: http://pastebin.com/4S9UYVvm

Both PCs have Win7 x64 and i didnt change any soft- or hardware in the last days. I tried:

It didnt help.

You can try deleting resLocalization.stuff and see if it patches any better afterwards.

Tried this twice, 1 time with using repair tool after deleting resLocalization.stuff, 1 time without. Didnt help.

EDIT: Just started the launcher again and now it works all of a sudden. Wut. I'll report if i have problems again.

I have the exact same problem and have tried the same things as Algarion.

Often the launcher is greyed out and I have to restart it several times before I'm able to log on.

This happens with both the Launcher for my normal account and Launcher for my Steam account.

Same issue here, trying some things now to find what works...
going through the Bin folder's .exe file works for one...
Things tried in order of what I did:
Repair did nothing.
Localization removal did nothing.
Removing Localization then restarting didn't help.
Repairing again after removing Localization did nothing.

EVE Online Launcher
eve
eve.exe (Safe Mode)
All crash on the launcher...

Gonna try re-installing.
Reinstalling seems to have worked...Weird...

Note: Singularity does work, for some reason.
