Hello all,

I have problem to launch EVE online from steam. When I launch, game show that my client is offline:

Stop launching the client from steam and just use the direct launcher when you need to patch, the exefile.exe in the bin folder for the client.

Hello,

Thanks for reply. In steam, when launch game it log in automatically, but when I launch game directly it starts, but did not log in to game. :[

There is a way to split your steam and eve account. See if you can't get a login to eve and just skip steam entirely. it has always been very dicey anyway.

e: open a support contract if you can't figure it out. I don't know how to do it, sorry.

Thanks, it worked!
It is possible to create EVE account if you have steam account: https://ccpcommunity.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/203523662-Setting-an-account-name-for-Accounts-created-through-STEAM
Now it is possible to continue subscription though steam, and launch game directly without launcher.

Thanks for this! I was finally able to get my active account (through Steam) active on this side of the fence.

I didn't even realize I was on a trial account when I got going after purchasing a premium package through Steam. The second time I fired it up (through Steam), my previous character was "gone"! After a couple minutes of digging I realized that somehow I managed to create 2 accounts during the install process. Fortunately I didn't get very far the first day, so I can re-make the trial toon if I so choose.

Now I can actually use the forums outside of the New Player Q&A. Couldn't figure out why I couldn't post replies anywhere else. Lol
