Been Playing eve for about 8 years now have carried the same installation across various pc's and hard drives in that time. Stopped playing for about a year or so and then reactivated account to try and get back into the game.

All good except was plagued by the socket closed error spent a couple weeks trying to solve that including using a vpn connection and swapping isp's. No joy.

Thought ok lets try and do a nice clean new install set up a brand new win 7 installation and immediately ran into problems launcher popping up error messages downloaded the offline installation files twice and keep getting the error 2079 message etc etc etc,

Decided to try and do a clean install on my win 10 installation downladed the laucher and off we go. first patch installed second patch froze and now we are back to the same bloody problem I had on the win 7 clean install. every time Iopen the laucher I get:
a long error message which I tried to copy here but it apparently contains html which cannot be posted.

In the name of all that is holy unto EVE can someone please help me.

I have posted a ticket through account management but no reply.

Thank you.

for error message, remove any greater than / lower than sign .. (damn ccp, fix that)
or copy paste on pastebin.com

next, there are some pretty stupid issues for downloading stuff from eve CDN (content server hosted by amazon)
until official communication on this, the issue is still here and I see no work around

you can try by "not patching" :
install the beta launcher
run it once it will try to patch, if it finish, problem solved, yay

if it fails like old launcher
go into your shared cache folder, sub folder TQ, there should be a program call rescache. run it as administrator it will download ALL the game up to date

if this fails: go and try (install and rescache) another computer with a different ISP (friend, work, school) and grab the fully downloaded folder (around 13-16GB)

it sucks, but so does amazon, and bit CCP not communicating about these issues reported by lots of players since a few weeks (or maybe they talked about it somewhere. I don't want to scourge the dozen of subforum)

in short try beta, try rescache.
