Hi,

since suddenly i cannot seem to launhc the eve client.
Launcher gives an error during patching and requires to run with admin rights. After that he just sugest to restart the computer.

and this over and over again.

What i did:

reinstalling it fully (full clean instal)
removing the dxnt.cab file and do a repair
download the files in devblog 'Alternative way of patching' (found here)


I have found one similar complaint but did not see a solution to it:

First of all I'm surprised to find the right forum under the "DEV's" tab after I logged in and NOT in the forums where it should be and where is absolute no response from any DEV.

Now again: EVE Online Launcher v.1.19 is running in the first stepp (Creating EVE_Online_360229-359766.patch)
till 50% and than starting downloading 0 MB/240.79 MB. With app. 60% it is breaking up like I mentioned before (see below).
Right now nothing helps. I'm truly on the War-Path with launchers like that.
There was a small update today after maintenance on Tranquility (2012-04-12) and I hoped it could help with the update (patch) on Singularity. So I made a fresh testserver installation with the Tranquility update from today but unfortunately with same result. In the downloading process (app. 60%) it got same error message:

"An error occured while applying patch, the launcher will now try to apply the patch safely with raised privilages."
Than a "Applying patch" message is showing up which pops an other "applyPatch" message which is saying:
"Uanable to apply patch It is recomended that you restart your computer and then run the EVE Online launcher again."

I did that several times, all with same result. The launcher doesn't works anymore and the patch script which is "trying to apply the patch safely ...." never worked. Can realy cut it out from the the patch fixing installation process.

I tried to cleanup all catches, deleted all patches in the Singualrity folder, started and updated the repair tool, but all that did not helped. Also opening/starting the launcher as administrator did not work. The launcher is not working anymore.

I had same problem after the Crucible 1.6.3 update with the Tranquility folder, but after rebooting the computer it worked and the launcher could update and load the game, NOT so on Singularity.
The most frightening part will be - when the patch is failing on Tranquility - which was already happened after the last update in the beginning of this month. Atleast there the reboot helped and I could continue playing on Tranquility.

The exact same problem is happening on my system as well. I didn't go so far as to clean anything out yet, but this is the same set of error messages I received as well.

Did you find a solution yet?
