My launcher is in endless install loop to install version 988834
after it seems to finish withoug any complaints, it will start installing it again immediately.
If I click cancle, then it will start this loop again in 15 minutes

Try running as administrator - there might be some permission issues.


Running as administrator doesn't help.

Verified cache, stopped launcher, restarted with admin privileges , downloaded the update again, ran the update and the loop is back in place. Filed a bugreport about it but its essentially: 'stuck in a loop'. Same as ^^ Henry Noir

I got out of that loop when I manually installed version 991958 into separate folder, try that one.

and you shouldn't be using "dev" version (ever !!)

it is stated as highly experimental Twisted and should only be used if asked by the devs. so 991682 is fine.



No one said that you shouldn't. It is as you said "experimental" and subject to breakage. How else can it be bug-checked?

Are there any EVE clients running? Check task manager as well, verify that there are no exefile.exe processes.

Do you have full permissions to the SharedCache folder?

Lastly, you can see in the log (drop-down menu, logging, look for errors) what files it failed to write. See if you can delete those files manually and retry (you can refresh manually from the drop down menu).

Thanks for the tip!

I downloaded https://binaries.eveonline.com/EveLauncher-991682.exe and installed it over the current version and that worked. So the version it was supposed to install itself.

Greets, CCP!

The green selection and the blue + are cool - clean and crisp.

Past 2 versions have had "permissions writing to cache" would you like to fix, issues.
(not this current one TQ 991576 with Launcher 991682, GUI 1.734)

Thanks for your continuing work!

Version 992560

The server list is not maintaining the chosen profile. It's defaulting to the first listed alphabetically.

How would one go about installing this on the Steam version of EVE? Can the launcher be replaced or something?

I heard a steam integration was on the way (or something)

BUT you can : remove steam from the picture :)

go there https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/203523662-Setting-an-account-name-for-Accounts-created-through-STEAM and create yourself a nice login/user name

then simply run the launcher and forget steam


That, or wait for an update from Devs about steam (which should come rather fast if I interpreted correctly what was said in this thread)

Every time I wake my laptop from sleep, the launcher gives an error. Isn't there an API the launcher could call so that it realizes the computer is waking from sleep, wait for the network to come up, and then only present an error if the network fails to come up?

The workaround is to wait for the network and press the [retry] button or quit the launcher and reopen it.

My account isn't actually a Steam account, I just like to use the Steam version of the game (which I once bought for a second account and Steam cards Bear ). Keeping all my games in one place, it tracks game time and all that jazz. It works fine, except in situations like this where it is apparently a bit restrictive.
