We discovered an issue that makes the HUD disappear when a player jumps/undocks with the Planetary Interaction mode open. There is, however ,a work-around for it which simply involves opening and closing the PI view again. We intend to fix this during downtime on Wednesday, April 25.

Launcher continue to open links to chrome but internet explorer is the preferred browser.

Sounds appear to be screwed up.

- Before DT i had station sounds, now after DT in same station i have none.

- drag/drop items also now has no sounds associated to it.

- module click missing.

I use to play on Mac, but now it seems the launcher cannot update my client to the latest version.

It pops up every time when I start the launcher and says data corruption detected.

Damn it, you're right. I thought they've fixed this? Didn't someone say that it was fixed internally and will be deployed with Excalation?

I still get empty Internet Explorer windows instead of Opera windows (set as default Browser). If they at least showed the content they were supposed to show, but empty?

so when i click on eve launcher it starts updating launcher but after that it does nothing.Any suggestions?

Same here, Mac reports following error:

Verification failed

and some win path is listed

All ingame numbers are now formatted like "1 234 567,89" instead of old "1,234,567.89".

Works fine on the English client on a Win7 64bit machine running the English locale.

Erm, sorry... but:

Where are the missileturrets?

Where is the warmechanics-overhaul?

Where is the Inferno? (maybe the title doenst have to do with actual content... but then i call it missleading)

Audio is just IMPOSSIBLE to hear. The "Load" button on the wallet is so inaudible I have to mute all the sounds and music playing on my PC to hear it.

Can we please turn up UI sounds by like, 300%? Thanks.

Modules are sorted on the market by decreasing metalevel. So when you scroll down you should see increasingly more awesome modules.

You are a f*****g noob

I am unable to open the corporate bay on the orca!!! Members of my fleet do not have a menu item to open the corporate bay. Ive looked thru all the menus.

My UI and everything shows up, but space is black. I can't see my ship, I can't see any graphics. It's all black.

I can still click on my ship (by guessing where it is), but I can't see the context menu when I right click on anything.

I've run the repair tool, still nothing. ENDLESS BLACK.

More Multi-Cultural Character Creator Colors
The EVE character creator now offers a wider assortment of skin hues for a more diverse and realistic palette.

I'm implying that this means other skin colors are available, such as African American. Is there a way for me to change my avatar's skin color or am I stuck with what I have?

After today DT I tried to launch the game, launcher succesfully started and after that I've clicked play and got BSoD (blue screen of death). After my machine restarted I started getting crash info whenever i tried to start EvE launcher. I've run repair tool but that didn't fix the problem. In the attachement there is a error message I continue to get whenever I try to launch the game.


Here's what do i got:

Hello CCP,

First of all UI issue I noticed 5 minutes into the game:

1. Overview Font size is 2 times larger than actuall font size. It looks extremly unnatural and in combinaton with a small screen and seven columns makes the overview look to full.

2. UI sounds are VERY quiet. Sound for clicking on Neocom or D-Scan-Scan-Button are now different and impossible to hear without cranking up speakers to full.

Those are UI things I can live with for a while.

BUT THIS NEED FIXING ASAP - GAME BREAKING FOR WORMHOLE RESIDENTS


We live in a WH with an Alliance. For easy access to BMs we use a Secure Container in one of the POS's. The can was launched by a corpmember of me ( not corp ) and everyone had access to it - Write and View.

Since of now this is broken. While you can still take out anything no one is able to put stuff in. We relaunched the container for Corp and not even I, a Corpmember, am able to put stuff inside.
The container is, in every setup, yellow to everyone except the person who launched it. This is making living in a WH together nearly impossible and I really hope this was not the intent.

Warning we get when putting stuff in is: You cannot...container does not belong to you...not a member of the fleet or the corporation...

We tested it with being in Fleet, it still does not work.

As I said it is game breaking for WH Dwellers and it needs fixing ASAP.

Thank you !

( might sound more dramatic as it is for most but not being able to share BMs especially with mutliple timezones will make it a pain in the *** )

It seems like your launcher cache got corrupted.

To fix this, close the Launcher and delete the cache Directory under launcher inside your client install directory (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE).

afte rthe patch i cant open the game. geting a error saying : program to big to fit in memory.. any help? i have 1 tera HD and 4g ram..

My contracts tab in contracts is now BLINDING upon opening it. It makes my eyes burn :( Text is way too white.

where I can find Mac repair tool?

Please try to run the repair.exe, you can find it in your client install directory (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE).

when I set a destination, it doesn't show up under the system info like it normally does. I cleared my cache, relogged, still not working.

I cannot complete the download of the latest patch, it get's to around 75% each time and then the connection is reset, due to a dl timeout or something?

the patch file get's to about 166mb, no bigger, have ample disk space.

I've deleted the temp patch file, restarted the process a number of times and each time keeps on resetting the connection at around 75%.

my connection's stable and have no other connection speed issue. i've also noticed that just before it resets (at around 72%) the dl speed slow dramatically.

Looking in to this. Is the pilot of the orca in an NPC corp by any chance?

Had the launcher fail with: AttributeError: InstallDirectX instance has no attribute 'progress'
The game started (but I didn't undock or do any real testing.) I mention it because a directX install error could be highly amusing en masse.

For one of my computers (Win 7-64, like my other one), there is no map window (when you open the map), no system info (i.e. "Jita 1.0 > Constellation > Region" etc), and also when I set a destination, it doesn't show up under the system info like it normally does. I cleared my cache, relogged, still not working. The other PC works fine.

Also, someone else mentioned the % readout change... I don't like it either, the old one was better.

Congrats, I only get 8.62 MB of the 292.76 MB downloaded before it stops.

You can petition it and wait over a week for a reply, which will just be a copy paste of everything you've already tried from this forum.

Or you can wait until someone you really trust comes online, downloads and installs the patch, then exports it, uploads it somewhere and gives you the URL to it. Then you can manually download, import and install patch with no problems what so every. I'm having to do this option again and hope that a trusted corp mate helps me out - cause I'm not downloading just anyone's upload as it'll probably have a trojan in there.

Or re-download the full offline installer every patch day, because that NEVER gets old CCP, just give us an official patch file URL to manually download and import when the launcher WONT work.

Attn: Win 7 64-bit patch-fail peoples:

I got the game to launch finally by renaming the launcher\cache folder and then creating a new, blank one, then starting the launcher. This was after doing the repair tool mamba for a while.

It feels like caches in this game are responsible for more and terriblerGäó things than any player could ever inflict...

i entered the game via exefile in bin folder.Rly lame thatlauncher is somehow broken

Confirming this (NPC Corp) pilot cannot access Orca Corp bays while in space (as above, no menu). Can while docked in station.

Fleet members cannot either.

Did play with the maint bay settings (Configure ship).

Have another report from an NPC Corpmate that the same is happening to him.

Don't have a PC Corp Orca pilot handy to test, but inquiring in local -- people say its working for them. So probably just NPC Corp pilots.

EDIT: PC Client (although I doubt this makes a difference, but you asked for this info on all posts)

if the ppl are in the same corp it works
if ppl in a diff corp and even the orca is set for fleet usage it dont work
you have access to shipfitting and bay but not to the corporate hangar
orca in a playercorp miner in a npc corp
looks like more then one ppl have this problem
hope this helps

If you are experiencing Issues with the Launcher not starting up correctly you should first try the following workarounds (this is covering multiple issues start from the top down and only try the next workaround after you have tried to start the Launcher and Game):

1. Close the Launcher if it is still running, delete the cache Directory under launcher inside your client install directory (default: C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE) and try starting the Launcher again
2. Try running the Client Repair Tool.
3. Check if an alternate way of patching works for you.

We are working on a new version of the Launcher which should be released tomorrow.

The launcher will not launch. When I click on it, the launcher does not appear on screen, and, by watching the task manager, the process runs for about 30 seconds then goes away.

I ran the repair tool, and it downloaded some files(I'm assuming that's the update), but the launcher will still not open.

I tried rebooting my computer. I am using Vista 64. The launcher and eve client were working fine last night, before the patch.

I was only able to launch eve by running the "Exefile.exe" in the bin folder of my eve installation.

Deleting the cache directory did not work, same issue apeared again (progress bar showing for a few seconds after launch, then nothing).
I did however run the file 'updater.exe' inside the cache folder, and after that everything works as it should.

3. Check if you can find 'updater.exe' inside the cache folder, if yes run it - Check if the Launcher is now working.

Tried all these.
Launcher now says the game is ready to play, but exefile.exe just hangs and needs to be killed under the task manager.
I get the splash screen and then nada. Just exefile doing nothing in the background. That issue right there raises the issue of not being able to patch manually as I don't know what previous version I had.

Repair errs out every time, so that's not helpful either. :(

Edit:
Update of the workarounds

There appears to be trouble. I undocked in Jita, look around, and EVE crashes every single time. Not sure what causes it, maybe having a container in view or some specific ship.

So now I get 70+ fps on my nVidia 9400 GT video card, but I can't undock

1. Clearing cache did not help
2. Changing shaders/quality to medium from low did not help fix the crash. enabling HDR and object cache didn't do anything either. Normally I play on all low settings with everything disabled.

So now I've undocked and I can't dock

PS. Great performance increase!! Sadly, can't log in to enjoy it.

Now downloading the full client. None of the above workarounds have worked for me. I have tried running everything as Administrator and have also turned off ESET NOD32. This is quite troubling.

Have you tried running C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\DirectX\DXSETUP.exe ?

What exactly is the issue you are encountering?

Just did. Same behavior as before.
Super, duper, 100% busted. :(

Confirming this (NPC Corp) pilot cannot access Orca Corp bays while in space (as above, no menu). Can while docked in station.

Are you using LInux by any chance? Tech III cruiser models appear to be crashing the client when running under Wine.

The only other thing I can think of at the moment:

Rename C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\common.ini and restart the Launcher

Hey at least some of you can get the launcher to actually bloody update, mine wont at all. It just gives me the same error every time I try and update the client, "An error occurred while applying the patch, the launcher will now try to apply the patch safely with raised privileges,"

Click ok and greeted with "Unable to apply patch. restart your PC and run the laucnher again"

Restart PC, same "restart and re-run the launcher" messages.

Run as admin, oh, again, "restart and re run the launcher" messages.

Restart again, run launcher directly in EVE Dir\Launcher\launcer.exe

same error, run as admin, same error...


Any manual patches avaiable?

Just like the patch when the launcher was first introduced I can not use the eve repair tool again. Now the reason I tried the repair tool is because when I start eve I download the patch it finishes then it closes and nothing happens. When I try to run eve again the same thing happens (downloads patch then nothing)

Im using PC

I've got the login screen up now. Thanks. :)

Process followed:
1. Rename common.ini to common_old.ini
2. Run launcher, launcher tries to run exefile --> exefile errs out because common.ini is missing, asks me to perform repair.
3. Ran repair, repair errs out, but still replaces common.ini (luckily)
4. Run launcher, launcher succesfully launches exefile.

Thanks guys.

Latest update - EVE Client on Mac completely screwed - as usual.


Naturally there isn't a 'Repair.exe' so the installation is totally stuffed.


Wish I had not paid another subscription yesterday - what a ripoff.



So now what? Use my entire monthly download quota (and probably take a month to download it) and download the whole thing again - just because you can never, ever, get an upgrade to work properly.


Good night.


Tomorrow I will decide whether to spend hours re-downloading or just skip it and erase the lot.

Actually, that's exactly what happened for me.
After you run repair, and it tries to manually patch, try renaming common.ini to something else, then letting repair replace that.
Even if repair errs out, as it did for me, it should still fix common.ini.
Then when you run the launcher it will hopefully properly launch the game.

The steps have been detailed earlier in the thread.
