Apparently my Eve Client doesn't want to update correctly. When I started the launcher just 30 Minutes ago, it said "Downloading Launcher Update" or something along these lines. Then the launcher closed and nothing else happened. As far as terminal output goes, this is what I get:

err:ntdll:RtlpWaitForCriticalSection section 0x8ffe98c "?" wait timed out in thread 0066, blocked by 0000, retrying (60 sec)

Same thing when I manually try to restart the launcher. What's the trick?

I had to kill two launcher processes then ran the launcher again. It seems to be working now.

Update:

I had to kill two launcher processes and run the launcher again when I started playing after work.

I have a fruit cup and I'm not afraid to use it.

Same for me, working as it should at the moment.

I killed everything that looked wine/windows related and now it seems to work. Thanks!

Yeah, my update process was a bit hairy as well, but everything seems to have worked out after the relaunch. It just takes some time.

oh this is just great. I'm on windows 8 and the launcher is not working AT ALL. But you run it under what's essentially a hacked windows compatibility layer (WINE) under linux and it works?!?!? wtf? I can't log into eve at all under windows, the OS this game was designed to run in natively.

Unbelievable. XEvilX

You know that this post is akin to taking a shuttle out of Jita 4-4 and screaming in local "my cargohold is full of plexes", while your cargohold IS full of plexes, right?
