Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Well dear Sputnik

After many tests I upgrade my vista in windows seven and the crash when i loading station is gone.

Thank you for your interest

Just to verify again what you've already tried, to make sure nothing obvious was missed:

• You already checked that there is no ExeFile.exe Process running anymore on your computer?
• You ran the repair tool as administrator?
• You already cleared you cache and settings?
• You turned off your Virus Scanner while the repair tool is working?

Sorry for all this stabbing at the dark but I can't do a lot from my end without being able to reproduce this issue myself, the more details you can give me the better and don't be shy to asks questions (you can send me EVEMails as well).

i got the same problem after the update, i run repair, but still no work, i check task manager for the exe but was not there, then i delete the entire bin directory, re-run repair, and now is working.

This may work for some of you who are getting the Bad Manifest Signature Timestamp error message, as well as those of you that are seeing splash screens from previous EVE expansions just before getting the previous error.

If you're on a different Operating System I'm sure it'll be a similar location, but on Vista please go to:

C:\Users\****\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files

It seems like it's some sort of archive area for many of your programs. Deleting the CCP folder in this location -should- enable EVE to run normally; it worked for me immediately. There is a slight inconvenience I've listed below, but until someone finds and solves the problem without causing the side-effect listed below, I figure people would be fine with it seeing as they can actually login with no real damage done

TL;DR: you'll need to re-set up your graphic preferences, overview settings, channels and grouped chat tabs, along with other cached information that can be restored relatively fast

WARNING: This seems to remove certain stored local settings including account names on the login page, as well as resetting Tutorials/graphics settings, and even stored overview settings. However this is for Cache data only! You will NOT lose files in My Documents/EVE/overview.xml for example. Simply re-import your overview settings/whatever else, and I think this will be a worthwhile fix. I first noticed this side-effect as I logged in and realized Captain's Quarters came up instead of the legacy station-hangar view that I had set a long time ago. However, again, I think it's worth setting things up with a full once-over if it means we can run the client from now on.
