it's easy once you know the new version number:

look at the previous links ^^ and you'll notice the pattern :)

Thanks so much!!!
I tried downloading patch last night (all farking night long) but I only have a 5g internet limit over my cellphone/modem while tethered to my laptop...my sole internet access from home..and when i woke up to a notice "data was corrupted, do you want to attempt download again" I was all...NO FARKING WAY there goes my monthly internet if I try again! Searched forums for another way to patch and found this link above which is allowing me to download the patch over my smart phone while at work (unlimited data :) ) and i can pop the card out of the phone and transfer the zip to my laptop tonight and hopefully get playing tonight and still have internet to play with.

So I followed this method, downloaded the new patch, put it in my main folder, but it ignores it and tries to patch eve anyway when I open the launcher. Can someone help? (the folder I placed it in is ../Program Files/CCP/EVE)

did you guys unzip the file before moving it in to the correct folder?

I sometimes forget to do that.

Also I dont launch using the launcher after placing the file in the folder, there is another icon that bypasses the launcher in the ccp folder


and looks like there is a small 18mb patch downloading 6 dec @ down time

Thank you Redout for saving me a 3rd 1.5G download.
Didn't know about another start icon. CCP doesn't make that info available on patch notes, or anywhere I have seen other than here in this thread, and PLAYERS ARE PROVIDING THE CURRENT INFORMATION NOT CCP...ARSEHOLES.

Looks like it is the "eve.exe (Safe Mode)" icon. Both launcher and bootstrapper ignore the download if another patch has been applied since you downloaded the mahoosive beast, and they attempt to download the Entire latest and greatest fix for a broken patch...FARK YOU CCP!.

looks like my client is recongnizing the *442745* patch and is gonna start downloading the latest patch *458396* of the patch of patch of the patched patch.

FARK YOU CCP!!! (I been trying to get the game working for 2 days now...arseholes.) How is it that I am finding out how to patch this game through a back door method via PLAYER advice instead of CCP making this information readily available....ARSEHOLES.



EDIT:

Nope...that didn't actually work. Although the launcher window this time showed it as patching 44275 - 458396...it was listed again as a 1.5G download.

WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Very close to a rage quit here. :(

Ahaha! I have found it! All credit to castor_harden.

Open the launcher, at the top right you see a screwdriver and wrench for settings, click that. Go to the patches tab and click import. Import the unzipped patch file. The launcher will then have to do some installing and download a second smaller patch (20mb or so) but then it worked for me! Hope this works for you all!

For those of you running into this error, please check to be sure you aren't subject to any download size restrictions. I had been trying to install the patch all day and running into this error while traveling on a train. After I realized what was happening, I switched my mobile hotspot on, and boom! No problems at all.

The patch is 18.3MB, but the restriction here was 10MB. Hope this helps.

Salute Sir. o7

This ^ got me back in the game.

I will be saving a patch link (to update with new patch#s later) in a notebook file with "smartphone install instructions" (because I'll forget how this worked next time...damn you age!) for the next massive*patch. Not going through a "launcher install" again with my pathetic lappy internet.

o7 again.

As usual, using launcher makes my eve client broken. So i need the manual patch file to fix it.

I need the manual patch file from 458396 to current version, any hints where can i get it?
Just hope CCP or this forum administrator update the 1st page of this thread.

Note: i did already try "http://cdn1.eveonline.com/462689/EVE_Online_458396-462689_win.zip" but fail.


Thank you.
