EVE Information Portal

From FAQ on second post:

Server went down 7 minutes ago - As expected - Launcher is still saying; Online, 12100 players, same as it did when the server went down.

10 mins down - Close Launcher, reopen launcher, still saying, Online 12,100 players. Can't connect, Getting connection failed blah blah message.

14 mins.. Launcher server status remained unchanged - Says TQ was online with 12,100 players - After restarting it again was able to connect.

Probably no big issue, just wanted to let someone know it is not showing when TQ is down, even after restarting the launcher several times.

Don't know if anyone has mentioned yet (don't want to read through 20+ pages) but you "can" get the new launcher to work with steam.

Step:
1) install new launcher
2) navigate to the steam install folder for eve
3) rename the launcher folder so you can undo things
4) copy the new launcher to the eve directory, should be in the "launcher" directory
5) inside the launcher directory, rename evelauncher.exe to launcher.exe

steam should launch the new launcher and when you get in game the steam overlay should still work - it works for me

The launcher seems to be stuck trying to download version 972915...

Also I am running it in the Developer release

haven't tested a lot, but from 1st steps that block me to explore it(New Launcher) more profound :
*too slow reaction on text input(it takes 30 - 45 sec from moment text been typed > to appear);
*task bar - if icon is clicked twice = it launches 2 Launchers ( with actual launcher >> n-clicks =always 1 Launcher);
.. so more haven't tried yet

The launcher appears to brick itself if it finds that it doesn't have enough disk space to complete an update.

I somehow ran out of disk space while I was asleep (not sure whether due to the launcher attempting to patch, or a steam download, or something) and the launcher basically sits completely non-responsive with this popup over it whenever I start it up - I can't do anything with it except kill the process through the task manager. The 'cancel' button does nothing, and the rest of the launcher doesn't respond to interaction.

I've tried renaming cache folders and nuking the individual client executables in its installation area, and I've tried logging out of my machine and back on, but nothing has managed to unstick the launcher.

The normal launcher ran clients just fine and didn't seem to think a patch was needed (or I just missed it because it was a quick one).

There is a reason you get a warning when you select the dev version...

Apparently the problem was permissons in files under

SharedCache/tq

. Interestingly though I haven't run any eve stuff as administrator (except the launcher installation to get it under program files). Also the SharedCache permissions seems to be correct.

There was one time that the launcher update required admin permissions. Could that have left the launcher with admin privileges and thus updating some files with wrong permissions?

Edit: fixed the problem by removing the tq and sisi folders.

Launcher - Broke
This started some time after DT. no amount of forcing it to close and reopening it will see it actually update;
Downloading new version 973036 - broke the launcher

This is really starting to get annoying;
Fullscreen window mode always has a gap at the bottom on secondary monitors.

One of the hazards of running the development version.
Solution: uninstall launcher & reinstall a stable version (Release)

Launcher versions (and what they mean):
Development (Oh look, I changed a thing and stuff broke. Lets try something different. Might have to reinstall launcher.)
Staging (Things are looking better, and nothing has exploded, lets push to next level for further testing)
Release (Things are looking good, and no fedos were harmed during testing, push to beta participants/end users)
