Have you tried restarting your machine and then trying to run repair.exe again? Looking for more thoughts? Follow me on Twitter.

I cant afford to download 7gig of data for a game that is just going to break itself every month. What the **** is going on here? please provide a fix. If i have to download the client again i am canceling my subs.

Run cmd as administrator, navigate to the eve directory and type "repair --buildno=344784", you can also try the --help, that will list some other useful commands.

you need to make a shortcut to repair.exe go to properities and in first text field add --buildno=344784

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=80389&find=unread downloaded 3rd rollback patch, installed, and game patched to 1.5 without any issues (try starting ExeFile itself from EVE folder if it won't start after patching)

you can't run game properly though, launcher will give you error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "launcher.py", line 15, in < module >
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 104, in load_module
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module core_utils

so you are stuck with ExeFile at the moment.

I downloaded and applied 3rd patch, now my client is 1.5 but I still cannot start the game by Exe file or launcher... what the hell is going on.

My error log is the same like that

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "launcher.py", line 15, in < module >
File "zipextimporter.pyc", line 104, in load_module
zipimport.ZipImportError: can't find module core_utils

So I figured I will run the repair tool. "An error occurred during the repair" WHAT THE..... Look, I have limited bandwidth and I want to play!

had the same problem as the op and i have the solution (atleast it worked for me)

1. run the repair tool with this command line "repair --buildno=344784" (c:\EVE\repair --buildno=344784)
it will patch eve to the before 1.5 update version.
2 download this patch evepremiumpatch344784-349998_m.exe it will patch eve to the before 1.5 update
3. apply the patch in the link.
4. run eve from bin\EXEfile.exe (if u have few chars and use to run shortcuts with "EVE\eve.exe /END /LUA:OFF" runt it with "EXEfile.exe --/END /LUA:OFF")
