Hey guys hold the phone There is a manual download link that avoids the launcher. Try this http://cdn1.eveonline.com/862956/EVE_Online_861477-862956_win.zip

I have gotten farther than ive ever been with this thing.


Where did you get that link from?

Is it really that hard to give us the complete list of manual patches back, so that we can download and save them as a backup. This way, if something goes with the launcher we can allways go back and reinstall the whole client using these manual patches.

I finally got around to install the update via this manual patch, but I had to download the 1 GB of files four times now. Two times through the launcher that failed, one time through the repair-tool, which failed for me aswell, and then finally this manual patch, which finally worked for me.
That's a total of 4GB downloaded and I might have just downloaded the complete offline-installer in retrospect.

So please CCP, simply make the offline-patches available again and link to them on the download-page by default. This worked like a charm for so many years before.

The patches should be linked to there, which they aren't.

I'm stuck in an endless repair cycle after downloading the offline installer. The repair tool says it succeeded when ran from the folder vs running it from the launcher. However, when the game is launched or attempts to run the game from the bin file are made i get this message :

"Your EVE client installation may have modified, damaged or corrupt files. Please run repair.exe located in the EVE game directory or re-install the game client.
Verification failed: 'C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE
bin\staticdata\blueprints.db',crc:84993902,
expected:ce17f686.
Verification failed: 'C:\Program Files
(x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\staticdata\mapObjects.db', crc:ee88650c,
expected:f6af64ac. "

I'm not sure what that means but its more response than i got from the game than the last patch issue I had. Ive got a really slow connection, and am not looking forward to downloading the 6.3 GB worth of files once more just to have problems again. Especially since it's likely to occur at least 2 more times with the upcoming tech 3 destroyer releases.

I've tried talking profanity to my monitor after the launcher failed to patch, when that didn't work I decided it was time to clean up around the house to tidy things up and try and remain positive while the offline installer downloaded, still no luck. From there it was supper time, so i cooked spaghetti with some toast. Patching takes quite a lot of energy and after busying around waiting for large files to download one must masticate. A couple of hours after eating I notice the files are done, and it's time to install. I see the familiar old installation window, and the installation occurs like it used to. So at this point the apology phase to the monitor begins, hopes to play eve become high, and thoughts of anticipated support tickets and thread posts are dismissed. The installation finalizes and the launcher pops up, and greets me with another waiting period for verification. I wait out the bar once again, and receive the lovely error message quoted above. I follow the recommended procedures, and wind up infinitely looping, wasting my evening, Tomorrow I plan on eating leftovers, doing minimal dishes, and being bothered to all hell by this patch again. RIP one more patch day.

You can try downloading and reinstalling the launcher using this version:

You may have already done this, but you haven't said exactly where you're getting your full reinstall.



seems this resolves my issue, thanks ccp darwin

Day 2 of no EVE.

Restarted my FULL Client re-download for install, and I am getting a whopping 26 - 56 kbps. At this rate, I will have the client downloaded and ready for install by Friday.

Assuming the download completes, I'll still have another gig or so do download for the Tiamat patch.

Has CCP said anything about a fix coming for this issue?

Annnnnd now I'm down to sub-5kbps. Client has been downloading all day (11 hours so far) and I'm at 14.3%. UGH. CCP, FIX THIS ALREADY!

Anyone know if I can download through STEAM, and then not use STEAM when EVE's running??

Newish player about to unsub because I cannot log into the game I am paying for going on three days now.

Stuck at 0% 2/3. It begins to download it multiple times and resets to 0 and eventually stalls. Ran the repair tool last night. It downloaded about 1.2gig. Exact same patching issue this afternoon.

Downloaded the launcher again from the link in this thread. The launcher now doesn't finish loading. Most of it is white. Account, customer support, patch notes, etc buttons at the top work. Rest is white with two broken image link icons like in a browser. First run of the repair tool after this downloaded 20mb. 2nd run says no problems.

I am in Ontario, Canada, so whoever suggested it was somehow related to Florida... It is not.

I am also on a 4mbit/s connection and multiple other ppl in this thread have stated a full reinstall resulted in the same problem so I wont be trying that until CPP has something, anything to say on this matter.

My launcher, it does nothing. It doesn't even finish loading, nor does it even attempt to download any patch. The repair tool simply stalls as well at 1/7, currently stuck at 10.2% of the 781.86kb.

You, too, can be a Solid Gold dancer.

Just curious but are you guys downloading on a wireless connection? For such a large download, a wired connection would probably serve you better. Surely a late reply but I hear these issues all the time but I never have them on a wired connection. Good luck to you all though. I know it's frustrating as hell.
