Sorry this isnt helping at all

   Get me WiS 'Walk in Stations' CCP! The majority of the player base has wanted WiS ever since CCP pre viewed Ambulation back in 2006. EvE is not about PvP. EvE is about the SANDBOX! - CCP! Open the door!!!

On a matter of principal I refuse to mess around with settings.

I want to just double click the Eve short cut and be taken into the game clean and simple, that is what I pay a subscription for.

Could not get it working despite all the good advice. So I completely wiped EVE off my PC and downloaded the complete build. At the end of the whole downloading + installing cycle it asked me "run it?". Of course, launch the bastard! And what launched: a non-functioning launcher. I only could get into the game by starting the exe file in the bin folder.

That really puzzles me. How many new customers would continue with a game where the launcher does not work and they have to find out how to get a workaround?

And, knowing the answer is 'none' - how many programmers can be allowed to launch such a crucial feature without testing it on a normal PC like mine?

I just can't get my head around this.

The repair tool is working now, but it seems to be calculating a huge patch given it was only supposed to be a Launcher change...485MB! WTF?!

Probably not but these things dont happen all too often so best to have fun with it while I can.

If a knuckle dragging fat fingered technovoid caveman like myself can get it working it cant be all that hardBlink

It doesn't, it just says "Incompatible (protocol)", and yes I am opening the exe in the BIN folder, running it as "Administrator". Now what mr. underline boldy-pants??

Just keep on clicking repair, I got the same thing but my willpower was greater than the repair tools.

Keep running the repair tool, I was experiencing exactly what you are and finally on the 11th time it worked.

Same issue. I just get incompatible protocol when I try to launch Eve directly.

I've run it 20+ times now, it keeps being the same problem over and over.

Even more so, this has now been going on since I got home from work 5!! hours ago...It can't possibly take a top-notch AAA development studio, 5+ hours to fix a launcher problem. Please tell me I got this wrong.
