I just formatted my computer and after I installed the Eve client, I had the new launcher.

Now everytime I open it, it just crashes within a second and tells me that it stopped working. Nothing I try is working. All my billions will be gone in a few days and my year old character. So I will not be returning.

Just thought I would let you know, peace out.

If you get it fixed, will you log on and send me those billions of isk? To help the economy...

I had a similar situation with the new launcher. I thought I'd need to uninstall and reinstall the game.

I went back to the old launcher and its worked for me.

Why don't you just run the game from the .exe file directly?


If it works for you and lets you get back into the game, please feel free to send me a gratuity if the mood strikes you Big smile

I can not do that. No files are installed. I installed the launchers and before it downloads any files it crashes.

I tried installing from an older install file but says it can not find the SharedRes Folder. I manually put one there and it says the same thing.

I tried everything I can think of and I'm not sending in support tickets and everything. I could have installed this new launcher months ago and if I wanted it I would have. If CCP is going to force crap I don't want on me and then give me problems, then I will leave.

This is the only game I enjoy playing so, I may come back when the Citadel comes out and if this problem get sorted. I can make billions on a trial account and make a video teaching people how make billions a month. I was going to do this soon, but I guess that plan is out the window for the time being.

With that being said I still have like five or six days and if I do leave I will spend some time on "The Citadel Project" which is located in the My Eve forums that I took a break from to build my isk back up.

Have you tried downloading the offline installer? Is that what you mean by the older install file? The only other thing I can think of would be to try some sort of registry cleaner and remove all mentions of EVE from it...this must be very frustrating! :(

I had a similar problem a couple of months ago, and this worked for me. And, apparently a Windows update, my antivirus, or something had changed some permissions. I had to use Run as Administrator for the install, and I still have to Run as Administrator when launching the launcher. Everything runs perfectly though.

After a week of this launcher crashing on me. It finally kicked in, but it took a crash in the launcher and then when the update.exe crashed both closed and when I reopened the launcher it finally kicked in and downloaded the game files.

I guess two wrongs do make a right. Now I have lots to do. My POS's are all out of fuel (I hope they are still there) and a couple hundred market orders to go through in a couple regions. I also got to get a PLEX for this character.

I really thought this was going to be my out, but I'm back in the game. Thanks everyone for trying to help with suggestions. It just took a couple hundred crashes for it to get going.

have you gone into event viewer to see why the game is actually crashing? It may be something simple that has been missed.

Good thing the OP went on a rage quit rant instead of looking into alternative ways of getting EVE to run.

EVE is becoming shallow and puerile; it will satisfy neither the veteran nor the "WoW" type crowd in the transition.

At least your video card didn't catch on fire after you uploaded the client.

Or delete your boot.ini files.

You got off easy.

CCP must love you.

Brown-noser.

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

You didn't quit right. What's wrong with you? Everyone who knows an addict is aware that you can't wait on fate to intervene with ceasing a terrible and disgusting habit like Eve is. You must willfully make the choice. I let my POS die through sheer neglect and I haven't logged in but maybe once since then. It's so liberating. Try again with some feeling in it this time, scrub.

No, of course I did not quit. The title also serves as way to get CCP attention. The fun of this game for me is paying for PLEX every month with ingame currency and the day I can not do it, is the day I quit and I was close to losing this year old character because I could not get on. I got everything sorted, but I am going to format in another month or two as always and I'm afraid I will get the same problem again.

I mentioned above in a posting that I was planning on making a video on making isk in the game and I am starting it now. I am making a trial-to-PLEX video. I will make a posting about it when it is done. Then I will make some more videos on advanced ways of maintaining your isk and making it grow for you.

For the time being, here is a Citadel I am building.

I guess it's a good thing that the new eve client doesn't even boot up for me. I downloaded the .exe file, double click to open, nothing happens, nothing at all.

@CCP, did QA even test the new launcher at all?

Now that you are able to play and before you format again in 2 months (Why the **** would you do that so often in teh first place, you must be watching a lot of "Nature documentaires" on the internet if you really need a format that often), could you please sent me over any assets in contract and if possible some SP by that time?

I format every few months because I am always repurposing my computer.

Whether I am playing around with modeling and game development or a lot of graphic design and webpage programs, or I am trying new software to see if I like them and afraid of spyware. Sometimes I try a whole bunch of games to find out that Eve is the only game I can play longer than a day.

I rather do a format and my computer runs perfect all the time, then to uninstall everything all the time and running maintenance jobs all the time. I always have zero clutter on my computer.

Arrow Last time I was caught off guard because of the new launcher, this time I will make sure I do not have only a few days left on my account when I format.
