EVE General Discussion

OK, so I am at my wits end.

I started my client about 6 hours after DT on patch day, the launcher was installed and I followed all on screen prompts, only to have the launcher stop at 15%, skip to 25% and then stop.

I ran the repair tool immediately, which downloaded the patch for me, then started her up again and OMG it was ready to play, up to date with a shiney big orange play button before me.

I clicked on play......nothing, no process in my task manager, nothing.

Ran repair again, no change, deleted cache and local folders, cleared browser cache, restarted pc, made sure everything else was closed, still same problem......sent ticket, no reply, no problem, hell you guys must be hell busy with this problem.

Came home today, tried again, launcher then tried a new patch straight off, made me happy, got my hopes up, but then gets to 15%, skips to 25% and then restarts continuously.

I have tried repair function, nothing happens. I also have eve on my laptop and my gf's pc, none of which can seem to get past same issue, every pc has an individual installed copy of eve, no copy paste happening here.

I have tried everything mentioned before, I also do not want to spend more than 3 months subscription redownloading this again and have tried everything I can think of.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Oh and the laptop and main pc are high end, fully updated, windows 7 64, gf's pc is decent and XP.

I've seen a couple people mention this, but no response from devs ... is anyone else noticing large amounts of lag when running multiple clients from the same directory?

I run three clients simultaneously and before this have never had a problem on highest settings (even in CQ, my graphics card stayed frosty ) but now anything in-game seems to be chugging. I've never had to bother with junctions but could if it would actually help ... it's the fact that it is a new issue with the patch that worries me.

Running Windows 7 Professional SP1 64-bit.

I have the exactly same problem since the 13th march, petitioned but absolutely nothing helpful responded yet, downloaded full offline installer to reinstall, situation is exactly the same.

Seems like most in that thread are running NVidia, whereas I'm using an ATI Radeon 5700 series. My CPU is under no strain staying at 10-15% load and memory at 70%, so I'm guessing what I'm seeing is a strain on my graphics card though. The release of the launcher seems like an unlikely thing to have caused such a large increase in GPU requirements though.

Does the new launcher have BITS in it? Seems to download very slowly. Old patcher used BITS and had me downloading like 10 MB/sec while my cabletubes only does about 1.5MB/sec

CCP, we expect answers? Do you do anything? It should also be able in future to do a backup of all settings of the game. When you reinstall or situations similar to this one. Think about this.

I'm also stuck in a loop each downtime, I have to completely reinstall eve each day for it to work, then in the morning after downtime the launcher does to a loop at 25% and I have to reinstall again. Same error message the other person had that ends with zsync. No idea what the issue is but would like an answer.

Yeah nod32 and eve launcher do not mix well, uninstalled it and it works, just turning it off for 10 minutes doesn't do it.

When I try and launch the updater (Windows 7-64) it gives me the error "The EVE launcher cannot update a directory from which processes are running. Please close the following process: launcher.exe"

Similarly, if I try to run the repair tool it gives me an error message saying "The repair tool found the following process running in the folder it is trying to repair: "d:\program files [data]\eve\repair.exe". You must close this process before continuing with the repair.

So, it will only let me run the launcher if I don't run the launcher. And it will only let me run the repair tool if I don't run the repair tool. *sighs*
