WOW,

I will not file a dam bug report, Can I even do that without logging in? Why should I waste more of my time? I don't get payed to help you fix the mess you made that you did get paid for. In fact, I pay to play this game, which I now can not play because you broke the game launcher. And you expect me to bend over backwards to help you fix it??

How many players complained about issues with the new launcher on SiSi, Almost nobody could get it to work right. You ignored player feed back and released it anyway. Now we have a huge mess.

CCP also seems to be ignoring most of the player concerns about the Odyssey Expansion. Will that too end up in a big mess?

Is not ignoring the community what got CCP into so much trouble with Incarna??

Well as they say history repeats itself, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Fix it today, or revert to the old launcher until you can get it to actually work. Dam, I have not felt like this since Failcom drove me from AoC. It went free to play, and I still will not play it, as I lost all respect for its developers.

Good Job CCP just when it seemed you might be on the path to quality software you go and F**K it all up with this launcher patch.

Glad to see the old ccp is back. You had me worried

patched eve, then could not get online - launcher would not load the log in screen...
ran repair - it updated then ran for 9 minutes..
launcher still doesn't work, shows eve servers offline.
ran exefile in the bin folder and the log in screen popped up and I can log in.

  - remove the cloaked from local; free intel is the real problem, not  "afk" cloaking -

Like everybody else I had problems.

My solution that worked for me.

Ran the game repair tool. was very slow in responding and appeared not to be working but it was and fixing the program it took two attempts.

Then I ran the client got the error message cannot connet to eve. *This was a smallish box and not the usual looking screen.
Had a choice of either closing or starting Eve . selected start eve. It bypassed the launcher altogether and gave me a logon screen .

Poceeded to logon. worked twice



worked here too !!! thx

CCP, again you had a weak link in the EVE startup connection protocol with no alternative workaround for bypass ..... until you read the forum..
I think the meaning of the word "robustness" fails to translate somewhere along the way.

I'm not Russian, but you guys really need to hire some Russian crews who understands what robustness actually means, culture wise.

Not sure Steam could support multiboxing. Steam has become such a PIA intrusive ***** lately that I keep it turned off.


Multiboxing is not a first concern, and never should it be.

And How is it intrusive? It's a global patcher for most games.

SIMPLE FIX: 1) run in "evegamefolder"/repair.exe, the wait till finish, 2) run in "evegamefolder"/bin/exefile.exe, enjoyCool

Indeed, did the same after reading a previous post talking about using the repair tool (that also advised to wait because it can be quite long to start).
Game used to display an "Unknown protocol" at login; the repair updated the files.
Works perfectly; now in game.

18 hours left of subscription.

I don't have version 538542, so I'm out of luck because the launcher who broke my Sisi client two days ago, now has broken my TQ client.

CCP at its finest, fixing what isn't broken, so it breaks. Sad

18 hours left of subscription...

Start the game anyways and it will ask you if you want to download a new build.


no i start the game and nothing happens, says incompatible protocol, but manually done the upgrade and im now getting the offline mode too lol



Ok then the only other option I can suggest is to go into your closet and grab those ruby red slippers and click your heels three times. Let me know if that works for you.



Tried the slippers and they didn't work (again!!). What else?

Not claiming to have a fully working fix here - but it worked for me patching up my other computers so if anyone want to try go for it.

If the straight exefile.exe launch does not work and showing incompatible protocol you could try this file.

Torrent: http://eve-files.com/media/torrent/eve-update-20130521.zip.torrent

http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip (it's the files that got modified for me today, 50mb)

Copy and while launcher will still most likely fail, start the exefile.exe straight from the \bin folder.

On your own risk ofc but worked fine for me.

Else many suggested running repair.exe which seems to work in some cases.

Sweet! Thanks Chribba. I had a skill queue getting short. Now I can go away and come back towards the end of the week, after CCP has fixed this...
