Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I am also on a trip to the Philippines and having the exact same problem as you was hoping to play around with Phoebe a little while I am here.

Same problem here, different error message.

Here is my Repair Tool Log.

Here is my Eve Launcher Error Message.

I just got done trying all that clearing the cache stuff on the launcher and it only further broke my launcher.... it would briefly blink when opened and then go immediately unresponsive, hour glass even mousing over any part of the window. If I tried to interact with the window or click on something else on my computer I would be greeted by a greyed over launcher with a prompt saying it wasn't responding.

So I tried patching it back to TQ, and it seems to work fine, so its not the install, and the launcher itself seems to be working when directed to TQ. But only hangs when I try to tell it to connect to Sisi. After that I thought maybe it was because my Sisi shortcut had an IP address in the server option, so I set it back to Singularity, still no dice.

How does one fix this? For the time being I can't even connect back to Sisi because the files are patched for TQ now after trying to repair the launcher, even trying to use the evefile.exe workaround, incompatible build or somesuch. I don't want to have to start completely from scratch on my Sisi install.

Still no go.... I just made a new copy of Sisi for kicks and giggles because what else am I doing on a Friday night waiting for my soccer game to start in a couple hours... still getting the exact same hang upon opening the launcher when it is directed at Singularity.

To re-clarify, I can double click the eve launcher (in the sisi folder), and it opens and starts patching to TQ. But when it is directed towards Sisi, hangs. Guess I won't have to worry about CCP ignoring feedback since I can't get connected to give proper feedback as requested.

Still no reply to my petition but I was able to get EVE to install using the torrent download someone does in this forum. I downloaded and then ran the installer as Admin. The install went slower than it seemed to when I tried the direct download but it went to the end and the launcher came up. It seems to me what is happening for whatever reason is the files are not downloading properly from CCP where the torrent bypassed whatever is causing the issue and worked to download everything 100%.

An interesting tidbit that will hopefully help some of u guys:

I recently pulled my nvidia card out of my main machine to use in another machine, defaulting said machine back to the on-board grafx. It had been working just fine until, well untill it didnt, lol.

So out of desperation for something to do while awaiting a response to my ticket I went ahead and put the original card back in the machine. viola, everything updates and runs smooth again.

So if youve changed any hardware recently, I think its worth taking alook at reverting the change to see if that helps. Another possibility may be to delete your current vid drivers, then re-install and/or maybe update) them.

maybe the checksum file is corrupted.

In the users profile

C:\Users\ (your user name here) \AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\e_games_ccp_eve

There is a file called Checksums.

Delete that.


Rerun repair.exe in your Eve installation folder (not from your eve launcher). Delete something else in that folder to make sure the repair.exe completely runs (if you need an item to delete, remove _access_check_ and manifest.dat for t

Also maybe the drive has a bad file sector on it. Run checkdisk on it (the basic one should be fine).

Other than that.. Dunno
