This might help you

Your repair.exe tool is likely out of date and I personally can't auto update that either, you can download it here (assuming the file posted below is in it's self up to date)

I have the same problem.

I don't use the Eve Launcher. I find it slow and tedious and as I multi-box it's a huge hindrance. Fortunately I can launch the game directly with "EXEFILE.EXE" The problem is, when a patch comes along it forces me to use the launcher to apply the patch.

This time however, and I know I'm not the only person to experience this issue. With the patch of December 30th (2013) it also insists on updating the eve launcher. Something I don't use or like and something I wish they'd never bloody well added to the game in the first place.

This update fails, every time, period. I even had a friend upload the "LAUNCHER.EXE" file for me to try bypass the problem to no avail as it still decides it needs to "download launcher update" From the error message It looks as though the download times out. Interesting that I can download a game patch but that crappy thing times out each time.


Is there anyway I can bypass that utterly pointless launcher and just use the downloaded patch file on the game it's self and play?

PS. The repair tool does not solve the problem and simply says: "failed"
