Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I'm going to add my two cents in here because this is getting ridiculous

I have two toons - this (combat) and antother for Jita marketing

I use my combat char at home and marketing toon at work

At work and at home I have two identical laptops both with cloned systems

At work I have super paranoid IT security and I'm able to update EVE just fine

At home where I have no security and my connection is directly connected to ISP node I get all the errors previously mentioned by others

The funny thing is that the ISP for my work and for work is the same

I agree that this is ridiculous; why depart from a system that already works? If it isn't broken, don't fix it. I'm thinking about honestly unsubscribing from EVE until they can come up with an installer that works just as well as their originals. No point in paying if I can't play. I have a skill with 39 days left on it anyway. That should give'em some time.

So it's safe to say that every update to the launcher equates to it not working and us wasting our own time trying to make it work again?

The 22 March update failed to fix my problem.

My launcher doesn't loop anymore when it gets to 25%, but appears to complete the download and then throws up a whole lot of errors. Different problems indicating that it is getting better, or worse?

One of my three accounts have already been cancelled because it doesn't help paying subscription when you cant log in to even add new skills to your empty skill que.

Help us CCP, you are our only hope.

launcher hangs at step 6/7 and repair toolkit at 3/7. Both hijack so much bandwidth that other programs cant access the internet when they are running even thou they are not downloading a thing.

I'm completely baffled by this. My husbands laptop works just fine. I went to log in today on my laptop and the program wouldn't launch AT ALL. So, I tried to repair, which seemed to work - so I launched the program and now got an error message. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling - which FAILED, which led me to this forum. After scrolling through 10 screens of gibberish, I did see 1 thread that mentioned VPN. So - I tried connecting to my work VPN connection (still through my same internet connection, so still going through my same router, etc) and I'm installing right now. I will be seriously pissed if the only way I can play this game is while logged in to my work VPN, which really goes against work policy as well as the fact that it makes NO SENSE. Additionally, I consider myself somewhat technical, but after reading this whole post - is incredibly frustrating. I should not have to have a masters degree in coding and networking to install a game! Where is the "average user" resolution that says "error message XYZ? Click here to download a new file". This is really discouraging.

Kenryuu (above) is right the reason you are getting throu is probably because your router/ISP can no longer inspect and therefore reject bad internet protocol. Unfortunantly for the rest of us without a VPN (free ones dont count because let's face it I'd hit the download maximum pretty quick trying to download software and play a MMO for however long it takes CCP to fix this) that isn't a solution for us. Thankfully starting EVE from the bin folder worked for me but for some even that doesnt work. Of course that also means that when the next patch rolls out everyone having problems with the launcher will probably be unable to download and install the future patch thus completely severing us from EVE because we are no longer the same version as the TQ server.

Hi I'm having trouble with my launcher when I installed this game. I just started 2 days ago and when I first downloaded this game I had an issue with the game not being able to patch.

Following that I read the forums and tried repairing my game using the repair.exe however the tool just kept relooping itself every single time.

I then proceeded to download the whole installer now from this website (the previous one was from steam) and installed the game manually when the installer told me it could not automatically download the files.

Having done that I tried to play the game only to have a pop up telling me that windows could not run a 16 bit file in a 64 bit environment. I then tried launching the game through the exe file in the Bin folder, this allowed me to play the game which I've been doing for the last 2 days.

The thing is once the game gets updated I'm worried I'll have to re-download the whole thing again just to avoid this issue.

Could some one please help me with this?

I'm running a computer with McAfee anti virus, not the ESET one that is listed in the first post so I'm not too sure if the same work around can be done for my computer.

bump

some one stated in some thread about a data dispatch error from ccp to your PC.

my take is ... keep on running repair multiple times. look at the error. if the error changes each run, keep running till it repair to a state of no error. and u shud be good
