Your comment made me laugh. :)

Are you sure repair is actually running all the way through and not just freezing soon after starting? You may have a program running on your computer (completely unrelated to Eve) that prevents it from doing so. I only had to run the repair tool once, but only after closing Remote Desktop Connection. There is a myriad of programs that might have similar conflicts, so try closing everything you can and then run Repair...unless you're certain it is actually running all the way through. That's all I've got. Sorry it's not much.

For those, like me, with no success in running the repair tool and getting protocol issues. I just ran Chribba's Fix and I am now in the game.

I downloaded the .zip file and extracted it to my EVE folder as the destination. I then right clicked the EVEexe.exe file in the \bin folder and ran as administrator. The client window opened normally and I could log in.

None of these fixes work for me :(

If I run the repair tool I get "errors occurred" and pointed towards the log file which I can't post here as it keeps saying no HTML when I paste it in.

Patience wearing................................

EDIT: Kept trying different things and it finally worked, not sure what did it, though. All my settings were gone but a log out (after setting long skill!) and log in using my usual shortcut restored everything.

Tried everything, currently the repair tool for the launcher is hanging, doing nothing, and the client shows "Incompatible (Protocol)."

Wonderful.

Close the client, delete the processes from your taskmanager and run the repair tool again.

There is no easy way.

None of the fix are working.

Running eve.exe, exefile.exe as administrator, running repair.exe, installing the new launcher given by OP...

Ok i have it working again here. By the way CCP or knowledgeable EVE peeps. EVE as a folder is 17.5 gb. Is that normal it is so big?


You can make your eve folder smaller by deleting the patch files.
There in your main eve folder with names like:

EVE_Online_xxxxxx-xxxxxx_win.patch
All these files can be deleted and will clean up a few Gig in space easily.

You have something running on your computer that is incompatible with the repair tool. Let it hang, then start closing programs on your computer (kill them if necessary) and once the conflicting program is shut down, the repair tool will start running immediately.

It took about 15 minutes for me from the time I started the repair tool to the time the repair window actually popped up. Then another 10 minutes for it to actually start repairing. Once that was done I could start Eve.exe to log in and play. The launcher still doesn't work for me, though.

any idea what this is? nothing seems to fix it

Error code: 4AB067F5-7D56-4E04-BCCC-9858CD7F3D00

This one's a bit over the edge guys.

Locked for breaking... well, pretty much all the rules.

I tried closing down things until repair.exe would work. Still nothing.

Finally worked after I deleted all my past patches in EVE folder and then ran it again. Unlikely that that is what was stopping it, but maybe worth a go.

That worked for me too.

All previous patches deleted and ran the tool. Now looking at the new launcher window.

Just a heads up , if after downloading the new launcher you still can't use the repair tool ( mine was referring me to some log telling me couldn't connect to server)

Download the latest repair.exe file from here:

http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Client_Repair_Tool

Then switch that new repair.exe from the old one in the main eve folder.

Be patient, took some time to open and start but in the end it worked.

I was then able to start the game using the exefile.exe in ...\EVE\bin

Good luck

After following these instructions, it broke more. After 2 repair attempts it said repair was successful. Running eve.exe now gives this message

Unsupported 16-Bit Application

The program or feature ''target line' cannot start or run due to incompatibity (this word is actually spelt like this in the error window) with 64-bit versions of Windows. Please contact the bla bla bla never gonna happen.

strange that the sisi is doing the exact same thing. I didn't mind that though because the changes on sisi are a joke and I wanted to play eve before it turns into an xbox game.

The launcher starts up (after I repaired it) and recognizes my Account, but nothing happens when I click play. It says launching, but nothing happens. wtf?
