ok, quick/temporary fix if you are unable to log in at all, so that you can tend to your empty skill queues:

I managed to get it working by creating the shortcut to the ExeFile.exe found in /bin folder with the /server:127.0.0.1 parameter.

Be warned tho, this resets all your settings to default, but I didn't mind that much. Also there's a console window like some sort of logServer.

This seems to bypass the Launcher™ completely so you'll have to update your client via the launcher first.

Hope CCP doesn't disable this now :V


Great. That worked.

Thank you for workaround :)

Why the hell this topics about proxy is always ignored?

Is there any chances CPP will add some proxy settings to their launcher?

I have the same problem... Could you add some feature into client that allows us to put in authentication for a proxy.

can someone in here tell me what this 87.237.39.166 server is for and why the hell the launcher trys to connect to it? i took a quick look (with whireshark) at the traffic produced by the launcher and it connects to a different ip on several different ports..

If someone from CCp could be so kind and tell us which ports we have to tunnel to which server we might be able to use our payed accounts at work as well.. otherwise i have to reconsider the amount of my accounts since when i'm not able to mine at work i only nedd 20% of my accounts..

Im going to post in this topic everyday., untill the launcher will be fixed. or untill i got banned.
Need an offical answer about the proxy problem.

P.S. Actially every MMORPG with a launcher have the same problem with the proxy, and the developers usualy dont care and ignore the proxy problem.
I dont care about the other MMORPG's except EVE, so im going to whine here for eternity.

ok here's what i found out... this super smart launcher sends a bunch of tcp request to the IP: 87.237.39.166 (DNS says client.eveonline.com) on destination port 80 -> here we go its HTTP (surprise).. since the handshake is working normally the launcher than starts to request some files from the server (f.e. /patches/win_launcherinfoTQ_inc.txt) but (what a surprise) the only thing he gets back is a HTTP1.1 error code 403 (forbidden).. content filter says NO to games ;).. in the end, the launcher just stops trying and says i don't have internet connection (yeah, thought so too oO)..

normally i'd just use my squid proxy and whipe it into the admins face latter on, but since the launcher doesn't have to possibilty to configure one.. bad luck (thanks CCP)..

anyway, you only need the new launcher to recieve the updates.. i can do that via a guest wlan we thankfully have in the company.. to get the actual client running i'd just use the workaround which was already posted in here (thanks to the community btw, works like a charm)..

maybe somebody else has a nice idea for a workaround in regard to the launcher.. really could need some help from ccp here..

looking forward to the solution, thanks in advance..

Dont tell anybody but we have a backup of the patches around:



We will keep these around for the next few more releases.

Edit: Unfortunately we don't have fallback patches for mac (the structure of the client changed which resulted in patches bigger than the installer) so the only fallback for Mac is the Installer (sorry guys Straight).

Thank you very much! I haven't been able to download the client for 36 hours now. Been searching all over and yours worked! I'm ingame right now so thank you and fly safe o7
