Hello everyone. If someone can please help me out with this problem....I have poor eye sight and I'm trying to read the tutorial with small typo fonts. Can anyone please tell me how I can get to the settings on this game. I pressed esc as instructed in the noob chat, and noone can help me there. They only tell me to press esc, and nothing happens. Could it be that my key board isn't compatabvle with this game? could it be because I down loaded the game from ccp rather than buy and install from cd? should I actually buy a copy of this game, and then install it, and will or is there more features to this game being I purchased a copy? Also, being that I downloaded the game from CCP, are all of the expansions included, or do I have to add updates of the game from web site? If anyone can please advise me in these areas, I'd really appreciate it...Thanks... |

When you press escape it should bring up the menu.
How are you exiting out of the game? I plan on living forever.......so far, so good. |

In order to exit game, I have to press the windos icon on my key board, and then I right click mouse, and it asks if I want to quit...But that's it.. |

Maybe it's this type of key board. It has large font keys for poor eye site. |

It's possible but if it works in other programs it should work in EVE.
Have you tested it on any other programs?? I plan on living forever.......so far, so good. |

I suggest these in this order
- Clear Cache, you can do this with the launcher using the Wrench icon at the top - Run the repair tool, this can be found in "C:\Program File (x86)\CCP\EVE\" (no (x86) if you're on 32-bit machine, if you have two program files folder and one of them has (x86) on it then EVE will be in there - Reinstall the game, simply re download it again and start over, a driver or controller that reads the keyboard might have gone in wonky.
The CD version of the game shouldn't be much different other than it probably being a few versions behind and you needing to get the patches. When you buy the game in a box you're mostly paying for the GTCs (Game Time Cards) inside. The game client is free and is the same one you download. (With the version exception since CDs have been sitting on the shelf when new versions come out, if you got the CD you'd get patched to the latest version by the launcher anyway.)

OK, I did try it with diablo, and yes, it brings up options as far as if I want to log in, then in game it does work as well, so it has to be something with this game...Does esc work with any of you players whop may be reading this post. This really sucks man. Last year I was shot in my face by a hunter during bird season, (bird shot pellets) They hit the optic nerves, and I'm slowly going blind. eventually I wont be able to play anything on the computer.... |

First:
Escape key should bring up a menu with different kind of settings. First tab should be named: Display & Graphics.
In there you can reduce the resolution to make stuff bigger (but less beautiful) and you can set the UI scaling.
Second:
There is no disc version of EVE. You can only digitally download it, either direct from CCP or Steam (at least they had it when I started).
EVE expansions are always free and always included in the game. If you can log in and play that means all current expansions are loaded into your client. And with the next expansion, you are forced to update it (which includes the expansion itself) before you can log in again.
So expansions are ALWAYS free and ALWAYS automatically (well you have to start the update by opening the launcher) included on your game. Inject your skillbook before you leave the station. Neo didnGÇÖt learn Kung-Fu by having it sit in his usb drive.-á If it moves, shoot it. If it doesn't move, poke it with your gun and then shoot it. We are not running, we are advancing in the opposite direction |

Thanks to all of you guys for trying to help me out....Thanks Ms. J'Poll....I deleted the game, and did a re-install but the esc key doesn't work, so it's probably that the board isn't compatable with this game, (it's a board used with large keys for poor eye site ppl like myself) because the esc key works on everything else. I guess that I'll buy another board. Thaks again guys....
Oh darn, I used my other charater on this post. Hope it doesn't sconfuse anyone. |

This may not work (I'm not at home to test), but it used to back at the dawn of the computer age when we used terminals:
CTRL [
i.e. control key and left bracket |
