As Windows 10 officially released a couple hours ago, (Granted it is being released in waves) should we anticipate EvE having any issues with it?

Does CCP recommend that we upgrade or hold off until some patching can be done for it?

I'd wait, as the client may still not be tested fully with Windows 10.
That's at least the last I read by a Dev on that matter (on July 7th):

Just for right now, for anyone else who runs across this issue or reads this, please be aware that we have not yet fully tested the EVE Online client against Windows 10. Until we do, your experience with Windows 10 and EVE may or may not be satisfactory. We're working on getting to a known stable point with it, but until then, thanks for your patience.

The download page, though, has Windows 10 in the list of System requirements. Question

Hi guys,

We do officially support Windows 10 and we have tested the client on the OS and have found it to run without errors.

But as with anything new, there could be bugs with the OS during its initial first few months so it could be a bumpy road to begin with.

Thank you for the confirmation. Smile

The only piece of advice I will give you all though is to make sure you run the launcher as an 'admin'. typically done by right clicking on the shortcut and clicking on the 'Run as Administrator', we have seen reports from players using the Windows 10 preview that they have seen performance issues when this is has not been done. So if you do upgrade your OS and notice performance issues this could solve the problem.

Excellently timed post - my shiny new Surface arrived today, just in time to be updated to Windows 10 and become my new mobile EVE machine. Windows 10 + EVE + touchscreen = .... actually, not expecting any big problems.

Thanks!

Eve Launcher doesnt work for me after the W10 upgrade. Already deleted the Launcher directory and used repair.exe but still no way to start the launcher. Also with admin and compatibility its not working.

ah well mac is working, not like anyone uses windows these days anyway? CCP you might want to look into this somewhat urgently!Shocked


logged on then frozen launcher after pressing play.
game started after 30 minutes when I went to have breakfast

subsequent launches around 2 minutes to respond.

looks like patience is required for first run.
If you have started multiple times, restart, login to eve, and wait for a while 30 mins is on a core i3 with SSD your wait may vary

Having issues running multiple clients since I upgraded to windows 10. After about 10 minutes get socket closed messages... Downloaded windows 10 ISO and did fresh reinstall, same thing happens. Internet is working fine, tested on another computer when it happens and running multiple on windows 7 worked fine before install? Any ideas

Upgrading as opposed to installing a fresh copy will give you more problems.

I ran an image in case I want to go back to win 7, which is more likely to happen than not.

Copy ccp folder from c:\users\[username]\appdata\local to save settings.

Copy Desktop, Documents, any other data you want to keep.

Install fresh.

Upgraded 8.1 to 10 (not a fresh install). Tried to run Eve and the Launch button remained disabled. It didn't seem to be able to contact the server to check versions/patches. So I ran the repair tool. The repair tool updated some things and then returned an error ("An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host"). I then ran the client again and it worked.

In conclusion it does work after the repair despite the returned error message.

Wrong thread. Disregard.

However, it does sound like a port issue. Did you try the stickyied Socket Closed thread?

For anyone that is running into launcher issues, I'd suggest bug reporting it, and including the log file which is in the launcher/cache directory. There might be something in it which lets CCP identify and fix the problem you have.


(not having any trouble on mine yet. Fingers crossed)

Woo! CSM XI!

Believe my issue is with the driver for my network card. Internet dropped without running Eve couple times... Back to windows 7 for now :/

I had to completely delete out the launcher file and use the repair too since it just flipped between updating launcher and downloading launcher update, but haven't had any issues since.

I have the launcher running no issues. I didnt stick with the Upgrade version of Windows 10. I did the Upgrade as per most people then right away created a Install Disk using the Windows 10 ISO, Performed a Clean Install (you can only do this AFTER you do the upgrade) and installed EVE. I was able to get into EVE online with no issues thru the regular launcher.
