Ok got past the greyed out "downloading launcher" by downloading the manual installer from here :

Now everything is as it should be, apart from the server, which says tranquility.

The old version lacked proper feedback when self updating, it would only say Downloading Launcher Update and then restart itself once it was done.
Try closing the launcher and starting it again.
If that doesn't work try waiting a little while in order to let it self update. If it hangs during restart or nothing happens and you've waited a while, try killing it through task manager (Press ctrl+shift+esc and go to the "Processes"-tab, locate launcher.exe, right click and choose 'End Process'. Repeat for any extra launcher.exe that might be in the list) Restart the launcher, hopefully it should now be the latest version.

Note: the latest patch contains fixes that should improve upon the feedback when self updating so that the next time you should be presented with some more information on what is going on.

I've closed and restarted it now quite a few times. I've reset my computer, killed both processes (no matter which of the two launcher processes I kill, It kills both).

It still won't open, still grayed out.

Could you please send me your logs? They should be in the cache folder (eveinstallLocation\launcher\cache) called something like "launcher.2013.05.30.log".

You can use something like http://pastebin.com/ if it's more convenient for you to just send me a link.

Same issue here, with the launcher seemingly stuck at "DOWNLOADING LAUNCHER UPDATE".

It stays in this state indefinitely, though it is responsive - I can log in, and the ad in the lower left cycles just fine. Play button stays gray though.

I have previously been able to log in and play just fine. I haven't made any changes here since then.

Thanks,

I had the same problem with my singularity launcher. It would not update to the latest patch.

So I downloaded and installed the latest launcher. After installation it ran itself and updated my client to tranquility.
Something to note was pictures were not loading and buttons were hidden. very glitchy.

So i deleted the entire folder and made a fresh copy. Installed the launcher again and as soon as it ran itself again i closed it as I noticed it was trying to patch to tranquility again.

So I ran my singularity shortcut and worked. Downloaded a patch file of about 800mbs that took a while to apply i might add, about 25mins.

All good now. Connected to server just to make sure it worked b4 heading to bed. :D

just my two isk here,

I cannot be arsed with handling these sisi things, ive tried several times in the past. And really liked it.

But even though some of the discriptions worked (half) when installing then i always had issues with my main client. Doesnt matter to say i messed up myself. But still wonder if CCP can't just release a one-in-all like TQ but for SiSi too

I have bad habit of preemptively updating my TQ client with each update, and update error that happened not very critical but just worth mentioning.

So I started update with low disk space (stupid me Smile) but space enough to store premade zipped patch. After successful download, launcher failed unzipping and next time (with more drive space) started downloading patch again from scratch.
Relevant paste: http://pastebin.com/PnhjMkJ2

So wouldn't be better to check if there enough space, check if premade patch zip was already present in specific location, then proceed with unpacking or checksum and download missing parts?

And secondly, maybe there could be option to store those patches in default %TEMP% directory? While not completely necessary, there was some requests for this from players with SSD drives.

OK, it seems you did listen to us!

You can still run the ExeFile.exe file and now get a non-animated login screen on the client.

Very happy with this "change" - thanks!
