Can everyone stop whining about CCP and the developers. This game is running 10 years and more beautifull content (ok, the bounty system is a bit too much) is added every day. The developers are working hard and this one time it fails in a logn time, everyone starts calling names to CCP.

Please, wait a day or use this patch (and start the bin/exe file) http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip


That's just it, they've been at it for 10 years and newbie mistakes like this should not happen.


Maybe because i'm also a developer, and these things are bad (yes it is a fail) but can happen all the time. We just have to wait patiently for a patch. In the mean time use this patch http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip


This has worked for me, thank you.

the access to http://client.eveonline.com/patches/premium_patchinfoTQ_inc.txt
is REALLY SLOOOOW (via browser) you should probably consider placing it on a more stable and fast infrastructure.

Launcher gets an exception every time i start it.
"Unable to download remote build number"

ME ANGRY OopsTwisted

=====================

UPDATE us about the progress!

Just wanted to ask if we get additional game time (a day?) for this unplayable time?

On other note, things like this happen, it's not the end of the world imo. It's still a great game.
Keep up the good work, fix this soon, and it would be great if we get some game time too.

Just read the feedback thread on the test server forum section. Check if you get the vibe that this was ready for release from that.

Getting the now infamous 'Incorrect Protocol' message.

Sigh.

Ugh

Everything in EVE is a trap.

And if it isn't, it's your job to make it a trap...:)

You want to know what immorality in EVE Online looks like? Look no further than Ripard "Jester" Teg.

Not working after multiple attempts to login, at first I'd get the white error message saying I didn't have network connection, but eventually it started downloading the latest client update. Now when client finally opens it says, I can't login, and that the server status is "unknown". Tried repairing the file, then reloading, same problem.

I also concur that this should have been tested better before launching, and hope that CCP teams are making this a top priority.

Chribba to the rescue....his download worked for me. Thanks!

It is completely ridiculous that the only working solution has to be provided by and end user


CCP still has not learned to communicate. Assign a single person to sit in this thread and respond to every single user who posts - you could call him 'CCP Punchingbag'. They don't really need to say much of any use other than "yes, we hear you and we are sorry." They could make some self deprecating jokes, maybe award people a new item 'launcher.exe' for lols, or run some in game item giveaways to pass the time. It doesn't get much functionally accomplished but the PR value would be a lot better than this experience has been. A situation like this with this user base requires constant communication.

update your client by running repair.exe as admin. (worked for me)

or by running Chribba's patch (didn't work for me but worked for other ppl)

The ONLY thing that works is using Chribba's zip file! Big smile

Tried launcher / repair --safemode / and so on. No dev post was useful Evil

Thanks Chribba!!! You rock (veldspar baby!) AttentionAttention

So if I can't log in during the next 15 hours (of which I plan on spending 8 hours asleep) does that mean CCP will compensate me for my lost training time, as I can't set another skill going until tomorrow evening after work?
