I'm trying to download eve on a new windows computer but I keep getting this message;
Archive extraction failed: 3.
Has anybody any idea what it means, or how I can get it downloading properly?
Cheers
Btw, it's windows 7 |

Sounds like it isn't un-compressing the files correctly.. is it the actual launcher that isn't working, or did you download the entire game and then when you try to hit play it gives you the error? also mebbe try re-booting your machine.. usually that fixes stuff like that.
Edit: Haha.. it's like IT automatic response: Are you sure it's plugged in? Have you tried turning it off and on? Are you sure it is a computer? |

sounds like a corrupted installer. delete file and try again In a room full of dumb blondes, EvE is the smart red head on the other side of the room.-á Lots of men like dumb blondes, and not everyone will like the smart red head, but she doesn;t need to change to be a dumb blonde.-á She is perfect how she is.-á Thats EvE vs other mmo's.-á You either like the red head, or you don't. |

Even though there will likely be a new release Jul 24th, as I write this I'm preparing a torrent for the current release (r813270).
I'll post an update in my thread when it is ready; you may want to subscribe to it.

Forget automatic installer. Download the manual Installation files. Use a download manager.
Tbh: I did fall back to good old wget for downloads (using the Windows version) when a new install is required because the launcher trashed the installation again. Haven't had any problems reinstalling since.

Good to hear its working for you.
Was it win8 by any chance? Sounds like the weird nonsense I get with my win8 machines sometimes. |

To clarify, my torrent is for the full offline installer.
The BItTorrent client is the download manager. |

No it isn't, it's a new win7 install from Dell.
