The fix in this thread did not help. I attempted to install it using the instructions and it still did not function as intended. I am using the following fix to get in:


***ATTENTION*** -- TEMPORARY FIX

Repair and play.

1) C:\CCP\EVE\repair.exe

1a) If the repairer fails - re-run multiple times until it completes.

2) C:\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe

The game should load and let you connect without issue..

DO NOT under any circumstances re-run the patcher or this will break and you will have to do it over again.

-=-=-=-

Note - This took me about 5 minutes for the repairer to run.


May I copy paste that to the first post of mine?


Yeah, its the only thing that works for me...

-=-=-=-

It has worked for some people and not others.

Please note Peoples install paths may be different.

The "fix" the OP provided is nothing more than the same manual download of the launcher patch Dev CCP Atropos posted in the official patch thread.

You are seeing this because no connection could be made to the content server or something went wrong while loading the online content.

Restart Launcher

CCP, next time you decide to update/enhance/awesomify the launcher or critical log-in ... 'features', do you think you could let us know a day or so ahead of time? (re: long skills, patch day woes, etc.. )

What a bag of crap, CCP, you know that you suck big-time, right ?

I can get in fine off of my old launcher shortcut. I clicked it and the new version downloaded and I was in, super.

BUT, all my settings are gone Sad. Is there any way I can get them back without spending hours doing it one setting at a time?

Thanks, J

This DL doesn't fix anything for me and reverts back to the 'offline-mode' launcher

Okay I used the launcher as normal earlier, was stuck in offline mode,
same with Sisi.

I used the exe launcher workaround on Sisi and it worked fine. I then
tried to use it on the regular client, and on the main login screen it
updated with a couple of errors. Now if I use the launcher OR the bypass
it takes me to a login screen with incompatible protocol listed as server
status (and I cannot login).

When I try to run repair, it fails and logs an error (I tried to find the log, but it keeps disappearing on me).

Update: After trying to run the repair several times to capture the error log, it finally appeared to run successfully.

Launched game using the ExeFile and got in okay. Thanks Donathan Slade.

Put the following in a windows location bar:

%LocalAppData%\CCP\EVE\c_ccp_eve_tranquility\settings\

You want the files - core_user_* & core_char_*

If they are not there you are fed.;. And well, if they are already writen new when you logged in they are probably gone unless you back them up on a regular basis.
