EVE General Discussion

Launcher freezes, reinstall does nothing for me. I got past the launcher once, thats it. I cancelled my accts at this point simply because I dont see them offering any solution. Been working on this for 3 days now. Every other program works fine, except eve. I'm not in a position to buy a whole new system to solve whatever they did.

Honestly, I'm pretty disappointed in CCP. If you can't handle something like this then how is Dust going to turn out? Come up with a solution or lose a customers. Simple as that.

Still having some issues with the launcher myself.

As far as patching...didnt have major issues getting it to work. Only time was on the original launch day.. i kept getting very similar errors to what others were getting, only if i tried to interact with the launcher during patching. If i were to click on a link, it would throw an error.. if i left it alone during the patch process.. it chugged happily along. It apparently wants to be left alone while working. I am even using ESET.. never had any issues with it ever.. nothing with it blocking downloads/etc w/ the launcher and patch. I do leave it in "interactive" mode as far as firewall access goes.. so i think i do remember having the patch download failing intially.. then the req for access came up.. i allowed, and restarted the patch download and it worked. Since launch day, havnt had any issues with any of the patches since.

There are some other oddies about the launcher even w/ the 1.11 update that dont seem right.
Links still do not work.. they still open a blank IE window and IE is updated. Iv noticed by clicking and dragging the links off the launcher onto the desktop.. they do create internet url link files.. and the url thats saved in the file comes out like this " launcher:openurl:https://secure.eveonline.com/" Although IE doesnt show anything in the URL bar when it opens.. i suspect its trying to process these other tags which dont relate to opening a web page.

And, every time you click play.. in the task manager, the launcher apparently starts cmd.exe (32b) and conhost.exe (64b), per each click of the play button. So if you want multiple accounts, these stay running in the background while each respective exefile.exe is running, even after the launcher is closed. This doesnt need to happen... the old eve launcher (which i believe just made sure the exe file and config files were viable) would load, and apparently just call the exefile.exe directly. I can get around this just by running exefile.exe as many times as needed for # of clients wanted.

Running client in regular or as admin make no difference from what iv seen.

@ EvE Devs, i dont always watch forums, so if you reply you can email me as needed, thank you.

Glad I decided to look at the forums before setting up my five accounts from scratch. Seeing this post, I just rebooted the launcher and everything was back to what it should be.

"Download progress will be saved"


So I download the patch, 3.18Gb for me, and gets to 2.8 before I have to call it a night. No problem though cos the new launcher means I'll only have to download 0.4Gb tomorrow!? Right!?

Wrong, boot up the launcher today and it's just started downloading 3.2Gb again from scratch. Just as well I have unlimited internet

I wiped my system, reinstalled the OS, then reinstalled EVE. I hope I dont have to do this again. Stop breaking my stuff CCP.

Launcher has the 64bit compatible issue. I cannot play eve anymore. Please see below the error log.

Hello,

I have now the same problem like others. Trying patch from 352940 to 353549 now and it always end on 25% and start again. Running on 64bit Win7.

I was able to Instal and launch the game on old laptop with Vista 32bit standard system firewall and avira free antivirus. . . . the fps are less than low but im able to set my skills......So what CCP doesn't recognize NOD's? is there a reason for this?
