Or is there at least a way to tell the launcher to download stuff? So I dont have to do it while playing?

Hi Quiggle,

The full .dmg can be found over here.

Alternatively, you can set the launcher to download the full resource cache in one go:

1. Open Launcher settings from the cog icon in the top right of the launcher window.
2. Click on the Download tab in the left panel of the settings window.
3. Check the "Download all the resource files." box.
4. Hit save and exit launcher settings, restart your launcher.

Best,

Sledge.

Hi
I have downloaded the file, but am concerned... is it really only 185MB? Surely it should be a couple of GB?

Our (relatively) new Download On Demand installer downloads graphic resources as needed for the game. You can set it to do a full download on first launch using the procedure described earlier in this thread.

So what your saying, is there really is no offline installer.

If I wanted to install eve fresh on say, 3 computers, that installer would force me to download the shared resources three times.

Sorry, I missed the critical word in the OP's post.

That is correct. There is no offline installer. It may be possible to copy a Shared Resources folder around from computer to computer, however. I have not tried this.
