Luancher settings only worked for an installed EVE client, not for copied EVE folders. It just won't open on those.


We're aware of this defect, and should have a fix out soon. As a work-around, you can try removing any hyphens from the names of your secondary client directories.

Awesome. I should have really been able to find that myself.

Do you have any idea of the timeframe before this will make it in?


I am curious to know what your user scenario is, do you have multiple installations on a single machine or is this about patching clients on more than one system?

If it's multiple clients on a single machine I'd really like to know why you do that, since the effort of patching one and then duplicating it (and editing the duplicate info.plist) seems less than saving a patch file and applying it to existing duplicates.

In addition to that there is the clone maker which makes duplicates take less space and time anyway:

So, wait for server is up Dev post,

Launch client "there is a new pacth would you like to download it?"

Hit yes, watch the 3.68mb dl come down (guess thats the launcher)

Eve Online Update Setup starts to run ...

Gets to (6/7) Downloading patch: Initializing ....

and sits there, for about an hour now

PC is not hung I can do other stuff and Task Manager says that the "Eve Online Update Setup" is running (ie its not died to a non-responsive)

So what is it doing and why is it just sitting there ?

It's a multi-machine patch situation.

My scenario is that I have six installations spread over four machines (OSX and bootcamped Windows), and I would prefer not to have a 150MB patch download turn into a 900MB download… to say nothing of the near-gigabyte sizes that occur whenever you update or introduce large swaths of art assets. It's not really a matter of bandwidth or download caps (I have tons of the former and none of the latter), although I could imagine that it's an issue for some — it's mainly a matter of time and convenience.

If I can download the patch once per OS and then distribute it on my home network at far higher speeds than what I get from your servers over the internet, it just makes things easier for everyone involved: I download it once and install everywhere in parallel (or at any convenient time) without choking my connection. I haven't done the install on Windows yet, so I'm only assuming that the wiki is correct in how you can export and import patches, but the option is just not there in the OSX client, and I'm wondering if/when it will be…

The info.plist for the client is deeper in now, it used to be in EVE Online.app/Contents/ but is now in EVE Online.app/Contents/Resources/EVE Online.app/Contents

The first info.plist is for the launcher, the client now lives deeper within the package.


Ahhh nice! I see what you did there for the cloned version. Instead of launching the Launcher you start EvE directly. Nice nice.

But i was to lazy to change it by hand and used EVE Clonemaker instead. All working as intended. Thanks.

I like the launcher settings - it now only appears when it needs to

That's a fair point. We will aim at having this supported on the Mac in the near future. In the meantime the workaround would be to patch one client and then put that client on a USB key and move that between your Macs or send it over the network. What you could also do is navigate into the bundle and find the .patch file and manually copy that around.

Getting the feeling im being ignored by the Devs here heh.

Should I just delete my client and start from scratch?

Windows 7 Professional with a good PC to back it up and it wont update.

Keep getting message that the Launcher quit working.


This is a bit tricky, but i have a workaround for you

1. Run the repair.exe in you client folder. Let it update your client.
2. to start eve online, run ExeFile.exe that is inside the client bin folder instead of eve.exe

Having some odd issues: patch/launcher won't download, patch and support tabs on login screen lead to "URL Not Found", tried repair tool and got this message: urlopen error [Errno 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it: 'http : // client.eveonline.com/patches/repair_info.txt'>

Any suggestions beyond dump the existing folders and re-download the whole Eve client?

Just a little feedback.

I like it. Good idea. Got just about everything I need right there (esp the option to buy plx and acct management). Good job. Cool
