So on my Lenova y510p running windows 8.1. I have never had the launcher connect. I have always had to resort to the exe file in the bin folder. Well I talked to a GM and he said to try in safe mode etc etc. In safe mode I started looking at what the launcher was trying to do when launched. I found this interesting and thought I would share it.

It appears that the Launcher is not dialing the correct IP address and port to connect to EvE servers.

when i use the exe file it connects correctly.

So, Can somone tell me maybe how to redirect the launcher to the correct address?

51 views and not a single answer... Are you kidding me? Lets go CCP get off your ass and fix this ****. I am tired of having to do a full reinstall everytime you want to patch the dust particles in an asteroid belt.

I am quite fascinated about the launcher. How can a company like CCP produce such a great and complex game (also relatively stable and reliable IMHO), and then totally fail (in terms of reliability) with such a simple piece of software as a launcher? It beats me.

This is the only software (really!!) on my three computers that constantly have problems with internet connection. Not every time, it is very random and unpredictable. Sometimes it works, sometimes after a while, sometimes not at all. Notably even the gamefile itself connects perfectly if I bypass the launcher - every single time.

I have feelings, I can smile - and murder while!

Just an FYI, there's a thread already on this issue that has gotten some GM and developer attention. There are suggestions in there that might help resolve your problem. Here's the link:

Launcher in Offline Mode

If those suggestions don't help, you may want to post in there, as some developers &/or technical GMs may be following the thread.

When I do that it starts downloading the entire game again. A game that's working fine apart from 1 piece of bad software: the launcher.

8 GB extra download (which isn't needed because eve is working) against my datalimit isn't something I like.
