EVE Search - Sticky:Alternative way of patching

As a MAC client I feel like we are always second seat. Even when I submit a petition they always refer me to a Windows solution even after posting in the petition that I have a MAC client. It is very frustrating. All month I've played just a hand full of times, my research que has been empty for days now and I'm being charged for time I'm not able to play. As much as I enjoy the game I am a very dissatisfied customer right now!

Ah,

that's fine.

But, my launcher (still) works, and i need only the *.patch-variant.
Are they downloadable?
I think, it's faster to deploy these files, than to compile an executable.

I had same problem after the Crucible 1.6.3 update with the Tranquility folder, but after rebooting the computer it worked and the launcher could update and load the game, NOT so on Singularity.
The most frightening part will be - when the patch is failing on Tranquility - which was already happened after the last update in the beginning of this month. Atleast there the reboot helped and I could continue playing on Tranquility.

The fact that you need to reboot the computer before updating means that there is something on your computer still running or holding on to the EVE process or the Launcher process and preventing you from doing the update properly.

Have you made sure that there is no eve process in the background still running, or perhaps logserver.exe still running. Do you have any other software installed on your machine which could be scanning or holding onto EVE files/resources? It would be helpful if you would send me an evemail with answers to these questions and the launcher.log file and I can look into this a bit more.

In the link, replace "364755" with "365434." Where the x's are in http://cdn1.eveonline.com/xxxxxx/ is where that change should be made.

Example: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/365434/EVE_Online_364755-365434_win.zip

So I at least got that downloaded. I'll see if this method works right now.

Update: CCP, your method of patching didn't work. Nonetheless, I found a way.

To get it to patch properly, download the patch you need, then fire up the EVE launcher. Click on that little wrench and screwdriver symbol in the top right to open the configuration menu for the launcher. Click on "Patches" and then the "Import" button. Navigate to where you extracted the .patch file you need and select it.

If you chose the right patch file, it should patch successfully.

CCP have you guys ever heard of the term "if its not broke dont fix it "

well loose the launcher the previous method worked and it worked well the launcher is just causing head aches by looking at the last few posts

I am having problems with it aswell

Keeps giving me corrupted file errors after i tried the initial install of the Patch released yesterday

I would really like to return to playing our beloved internet space spaceships

Please fix the launcher (remove it completely) and all problems with said Launcher will be negated

USE THE OLD METHOD PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE

At least last time I heard some numbers, there actually really more mac players than wine players, and by large. Less than a 1% of the playerbase was using linux WHILE linux was supported. Though feel free to correct me with current numbers.

Alright guys, I'll do GM's job:

1) Click this link to download the new patch (365966): http://cdn1.eveonline.com/365966/EVE_Online_365434-365966_win.zip

2) Unzip the file, and move the patch to your desktop (or any other easily accessible location)

3) Open the Launcher and click the Setting icon (upper right hand corner), select Patches>Import>Select the patch you just downloaded, click open and then OK; it will update automatically.

4) For future manual patching (better not be the case), do the following: Copy and Paste the above link in your browser, then replace patch numbers: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/xxxxxx/EVE_Online_xxxxxx-xxxxxx_win.zip

Idea

Notice that each set of X's corresponds to a patch number. First set refers to a new patch # (in this case 365966), second one refers to an old patch # (365434), and last # once again refers to a new patch #. I must mention however, that you must wait about 2-3 hours after the maintenance period to perform this operation; I guess it take CCP a while to make the patch available for "manual" downloading and installation.

I hope this helps, good luck!

My opinion of your technical support has been really lessened. Let's just say I will not be recommending this game to my friends.

FYI -- computer products 101 -- make the product as easy as possible for users to utilize or they simply won't use it, which inevitably leads to a loss of business/revenue/and profit.

God help you if a more efficient and technically-sound developer ever comes up with a competing sandbox-style MMO.

And I'm not someone who normally complains. Check my posting history.

update the launcher yes it makes the launcher complete but the launcher does not patch the client completely

Does anyone have an idea how to convince the launcher to apply an already downloaded patch before trying to make a connection to the server?

I've followed the instructions and have the patches in my directory. But starting the Launcher, I get a "cannot connect to server" error, apparently before it even tries to work with the patches that are sitting right there. (I can't solve the connection problem due to proxy issues, which is why I need the manual-patch workaround in the first place.)

Tried extracting just the first (1 gig) patch and launching. Still tries to re-download the whole 'combined' patch. :S

Do you guys have a tool to merge two .patch files together? Because I really don't want to re-download the whole 1.1gig on this connection.

The versions that i downloaded was: 376700, 377452 and 377968.

The 377968 i downloaded now. And in these 3 options I got the same problem.

CCP Atropos wrote:

Renaming patches is possibly the worst thing that can be done to get yourselves in game, although I can fully understand why you would want to do it. The patches contain a series of changes that must be applied to files in your installs, and what you're doing by renaming them is to trick the launcher into thinking it's up-to-date when in fact you're actually missing the latest bunch of fixes.

This could lead to anything from crashes of the game, to missing ship assets, corrupted graphics and all manner of strange behaviour.

v3nd3tt4 wrote:

Wouldn't have done it if the launcher was working in the first place. Perhaps make the launcher to able to recognize all *.patch files based on their actual size, MD5 checksum, etc.. (regardless of their different names). Worry not, maybe I won't need to do that again now that I realized that the launcher actually has export function to 'force' it to recognize patch files properly.

CCP Atropos wrote:

v3nd3tt4 wrote:

Having MD5's of patches would work if we were sure that everyone's installs were identical, however, we've seen that many people have corruption issues, leading to malformed assets on their clients, meaning that a patch between version A and B on your install might differ to a patch for version A and B on my install.

I'll look into improving the logic though, since it should be preferable to pull what usable data there is, in the patches provided before heading to the internet to download what's missing.

I also want to thank you for working with us on this. I know that it's incredibly frustrating to have these issues, and I can only stress that it's my number one priority to resolve these and other Launcher issues, so that we can all benefit. Oops

Update:
Alternative patching method has arrived.
June 8th, 2012: Updated links to client version 384443( Inferno 1.0.10 )

The alternative patching method has finally completed and passed testing, it is as follows.

Instructions, Windows:

If you are unsure which client version you have installed you can circumvent the launcher by starting the \CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe executable. In the top left corner of the EVE log in window you'll see the currently installed client version. From that you can determine which patch you need to download.

1.Download and open the zip file
2.Copy the .patch file into the EVE Online client folder, usually that would be C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
3.Run the launcher and it'll do the rest for you automatically.

Here are the Windows patch files.

http://content.eveonline.com/384443/EVE_Online_383814-384443_win.zip

Instructions, Mac:

On mac it gets a bit more complicated.

To find out which client version you have installed on your mac right click on the EVE Online application and select "show package contents" there navigate into Contents and then Resources.
Double click on the "EVE Online" application and note down the currently installed client version number in the top left corner.
From this you can download the appropriate patch for you.

1.Download the appropriate patch version for you.
2. Open it by double clicking on it after it's been downloaded to extract it.
3.Command-click your EVE Online client and select GG#Show Package ContentGG%
4.In the new window that popped up, browse into GG#ContentsGG% and then GG#ResourcesGG%
5.Copy the .patch file into this folder

Is there a 369870-384443 patch for windows?I am stranded for 4 days unable to login.
The launcher is not working,the repair tool fails and the support did not answer.

Lichnee wrote:

Thank you very much

Edit: Impossible to do it.After the import,the launcher ignores the imported patch (the 1st one) and tries unsuccessfully to create the 369870 - 384443 one.
Even after the uninstall and re-install to the latest version,the launcher does not run.

/hopeless :(

We have had some reports that players are unable to apply the .patch files as the launcher will start and then close when it can not connect to the content delivery server, thus players can not access the 'Settings' window or the 'Import' patch button.

If this happens then you can download the .patch file from the links on the first page of this thread and then follow the instructions below to force the client to apply the patch:

1.Download the patch and put it into the launcher folder of the client
2.Rename the patch file to something simple to re-type such as GGone.patchGGV
3.Open a window to the launcher folder and copy the command line for example : C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\launcher
4.Press the windows key + R and paste the command line and add to it GG\applyPatch one.patchGGV example : C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\launcher\ applyPatch one.patch
5.Once you press the Enter key the patch will be applied

Please make sure to only apply the patch which is relevant to your client version.

I downloaded a full client yesterday after the patching process turned out to be unsuccessful, for the third time in this year I think. It worked, but... today is the same story, except this time Creating EVE_Online... - Downloading... part freezed several hundreds of kilobytes before finishing (28.53/28.xx MB, IIRC) and after a few minutes I got the message Client update was unsuccessful or something like this. When I started the patcher again, another patching process was initiated. This time the patch was 9.90 MB but it ended on 9.00/9.90 and the message was: Unable to apply... the patcher will... with raised privileges. (This time I run the client with admin privileges, BTW.)

CCP please fix the damn patcher. or at least keep this up to date.

Yes.
something like this:
launch cmd.exe and type:

C:\GAMES\EVE\launcher\applyPatch.exe %patch-file%
where C:\GAMES\EVE\ is a path to EVE client

Thinking a manual patch is in order I come to this thread only to find that the version I'm on (384443) doesn't have a link. Not even a link to a more recent but not quite up to date patch that the launcher could then do a 30 MB patch from to get a current client.

Don't you get tired of doing this? Couldn't you automate the process to save yourself a lot of time, and the time of the players who wait on these patches?

Why not write a script that runs every day after downtime, putting the latest patches on an open ftp server. Then put a link to that server in the OP, and you'll never have to update this thread again and rarely have to apologize for the delay.

I ran the repair tool countless times, even did a completely clean install of EvE. I was so desperate I even reinstalled Windows just to fix it. Guess what the results are... nothing, still getting same error, except now it's trying to create EVE_Online_404131-404131_win.patch. Ran the repair tool now, it found absolutely nothing. Ugh

After downloading the client again to work around this, and you guys releasing another two patches I've now spent 4 hours sitting redownloading the 12 gb required to apply a patch that is smaller than 20 seconds of hardcore fetish ****.

The link about the alternative method of patching refuses to work, and I'm missing out on valuable market

I came here hoping to find this patch linked in the original post, but it was not. So I decided to play around with one of the links in the OP in the hopes of getting a download for this specific patch.

So, next time you get mad because a manual link to the patch you need isn't listed in the OP, try replacing the numbers in a patch download link with the numbers relative to the patch you need. Like this:

content.eveonline.com/(latest build)/EVE_Online_(your current build)-(latest build)_win.zip

Hey everyone, so I'm trying to get my eve to work again but am getting absolutely no where with it. I have already tried clean installs of the game quite a few times already and every time it refuses to start after I click play on the launcher.

I have since tried to run it from the bin folder with no success either (it seems that everyone has been able to log in one way or another) and I'm stuck on the launcher with no way of even finding out what version of eve I'm running.

So my question is, if I have downloaded a fresh install right off the eve website. Does anyone know what patch I need and how i can actually get it working so that I can at least log in?

I've been trying to get into the game now for 3 weeks and I'm quite over it so any ideas would be awesome T_T

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!

Alternative patching method
January 21st, 2013: Updated links to client version 471766 (Retribution 1.0.12)

Patch notes here
Older patch links can be found at the bottom of this post.

Instructions, Windows:

If you are unsure which client version you have installed you can circumvent the launcher by starting the \CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe executable. In the top left corner of the EVE log in window you'll see the currently installed client version. From that you can determine which patch you need to download.

1.Download and open the zip file which will take you to the current TQ client version
2.Copy the .patch file into the EVE Online client folder, usually that would be C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
3.Run the launcher and it'll do the rest for you automatically.
4. Download and open the latest zip file
5. Copy the .patch file into the EVE Online client folder, usually that would be C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
6. Run the launcher and it'll do the rest for you automatically.

Here are the latest Windows patch files.

Instructions, Mac:
On mac it gets a bit more complicated.

To find out which client version you have installed on your mac right click on the EVE Online application and select "show package contents" there navigate into Contents and then Resources.
Double click on the "EVE Online" application and note down the currently installed client version number in the top left corner.
From this you can download the appropriate patch for you.

1.Download the appropriate patch version that will take your client up to the latest version
2. Open it by double clicking on it after it's been downloaded to extract it.
3.Command-click your EVE Online client and select GG#Show Package ContentGG%
4.In the new window that popped up, browse into GG#ContentsGG% and then GG#ResourcesGG%
5.Copy the .patch file into this folder
6.Run the launcher.
7. Download the appropriate patch version
8. Repeat above steps 2 - 6.

Are you behind a proxy or something, because having it every time would point to something about your connection that prevents it connecting to our content servers.
