I just reactivated my account after a number of months off to play another game. I guess as soon as my game actually runs I could enjoy it. After installing three times at 5-7GB it still won't run even after opening all the ports and removing the router. I guess I will just have to wait a few more days in my paid month to see if my support ticket is answered.
Suddenly remembering why I stopped playing... |

We're looking forward to having you.
What is the symptom? What happens when you try to run? If you give more details the smart people here may be able to help you. www.ensignyooch.wordpress.com

I load and run the launcher. I get the play button which then goes grey to the Launching button. After a few minutes, it goes back to play and nothing happens. I check the Task Manager and see that there is an instance of CCPEve but it has no CPU and is stopped at 141~MB. When I hit play again, I see another instance of CCPEve run upto 141~ MB and then stop.
I have run as Admin, in Safe Mode, directly from folder. I have opened 26000 port and tried without firewalls and directly plugged into the Cable Modem without a router.
I have played this before on this machine, which while not new, has 30+RAM, GTS660TI and SSD drives, so I am at a loss.
Thank you for your response though. |

Go to your instal folder and try to run exefile.exe directly. Sometimes the launcher is "meh" (to prevent censor filter from overloading let me call it meh). Personal channel: Crazy Dutch Guy

Thanks again. Click and run and nothing happens. Check the Task Manager and again I have the CCPExe at 141~MBs. Delete and run again and watch the CCPExe file draw CPUs until it reaches 141~MB, bleeds off CPUs and then sits there.

Also... there is a little quirk about the launcher. If your mouse cursor is not inside of the launcher window it will appear to do "nothing." Circle your mouse inside the launcher a bit to see if anything moves or changes. Change isn't bad, but it isn't always good. Sometimes, the oldest and most simple of things can be the most elegant and effective.

Thanks for the note. I gave that a try as the PLAY when grey and the LAUNCHING... showed. After about 10+ seconds, the PLAY comes back and nothing else happens. When I go to the Task Manager, I can see that an instance of CCPEXE is running but it stops after it reaches 141MB of RAM.
If I keep clicking PLAY, I just get additional instances of CCPEXE but nothing changes. I am running a 64 bit machine and I have confirmed that my ports are open and have restarted the machine connected directly to the cable modem. Unless there is an obscure tweak, I am not sure what else there could be? |

Are your drivers all up to date? What CPU do you use?

This probably isn't it, but the "Play" button grays out while the launcher is patching (progress bar at the bottom). Make sure you give it enough time to finish that. www.ensignyooch.wordpress.com

Ahhh here's an idea, go into the launcher settings and changing it to launch in DX9 mode. The Drake is a Lie |

Thanks for that thought. I tried with the DX 9 setting and let it sit for a while, still no joy. |

Sounds like there's something really basic like a driver missing.
You're using a legal copy of windows right? Or are you even using a Windows based OS? The Drake is a Lie |

This also happens if the launcher/client is not up to date yet.
bottom of launcher there is a grey/yellow progress bar if this is not yellow and says "client is ready" the launch will not happen. |

Maybe some anti virus program is stopping it from running by mistake?
Or is your account perhaps linked to Steam and do you need that to run as well?
(just throwing things out there, I'm not very tech savvy)

yeah, I'll second the AV program, or something else working in the background to cause the client to crash as it's trying to allocate memory.
totally off the wall suggestion ... but try memtest and see if you've got a bad stick of RAM. One of the bitter points of a good bittervet is the realisation that all those SP don't really do much, and that the newbie is having much more fun with what little he has. - Tippia |

Friends, thank you all.
I have elected for the nuclear option and reinstalled Windows 8.1 on my computer. From there, Eve seems to run well enough.
Again thank you all for your efforts. |
