Users are reporting speed and file verification issues with our patch and client files. . This is affecting both Mac and Windows clients. We are currently working with our download hosting partner and hope to have this issue resolved shortly.
We apologize for any inconvenience you have been experiencing. We know how much you want to get some of that Sleeper technology!

Edited by: Khaemwese on 10/03/2009 21:50:55 Finally there is proof I haven't gone crazy...
I managed to get the last patch only to see an error with checksum. Then I uninstalled Eve altogether and reinstalled 75883 (No updated version to download!?!?) just to sit on the same problem I started with, that is incompatibility and the auto-updater doesn't start at all...

I can't get anything to start and when I try and download a complete new copy it sends me the client I already have. 75883.
What am I doing wrong?

i have been lucky. 1st attempt was going to take over 3 hours. Cancelled & rebooted and it took 20 mins. Then a second patch was required which was only 10% of the size. Works fine.

I have the exact same issue; Eve refuses to download any patch or update and trying to get the patch off the site just nets me the same version I currently have.

I downloaded the update with no problem this morning, 1.5 MpS download speed, took less than half an hour. It also installed just fine. However, After installing the update, I have found that my graphics card is no longer supported, making it completely impossible to play the game. I have only had my account for one week, and paid $20 to play. I had no warning when I purchased the account, nor before updating the client that this would happen. I would like to know who I can contact for a refund.

Tried the autopatcher first of course. It gave me some sort of "failed" message.
Tried the manual download. After 4 and a half hours it finished, and then turns out to have only downloaded about 75% of the 1.9 gigs, the useless thing.
Tried a file transfer with a friend. That fell on it's face on several bumps, mostly windows-tardedness.
Going to try to torrent it know, if: a) I actually figure out how to. b) I won't fall asleep before.
Cursed oversized patch... *sigh*

How about putting up the full version and patches on other sites, other than your own. 50kb a sec download for a 1.389mb patch equals over 12 hours to download. And if you loose connection between that time, Oh well, start the download again. I came from WOW to this cause I love space type games. They have a patch installer was torrented with a auto continue if stopped for some reason. Might want to put something like that up and fast.... |

Considering I'm on a 1GB/day download limit, I already stand to be capped for the next few days, so unless I can get a working install downloaded before the end of today, it'll be the weekend before I can get back in.
Very unhappy.

"Some installation files are corrupt. Please download a fresh copy and retry the installation".
That's after downloading 2GB. After I used the 800kb patcher which downloaded 1.4GB and gave me a Code 29 error. Then I downloaded the 1.4GB separate from the patcher - and got the same error. Obviously a lot of people are downloading this today and it is going to be difficult doing this perfectly... but these are big enough downloads without having to download the same data four times.
Has there been any progress on rectifying this yet, Fallout? I don't want to start downloading it again til I know it works. -- Tipsy XFI Chief of Staff |

The autopatch will not work on the classic client. The Premium autopatch worked just fine. All I did was copy the eve folder to my backup computer that was running classic, and it is running no problem. If you were running classic prior to the update, I would highly recommend you do a complete fresh install with the full Client. The only fight worth fighting is the one you should lose. |

Why am I stuck looking at some crap fictional news on your main page even though you've been advertising this update for months?
I am also left wondering why on the site for the new release there are the links: Home Storyline Features Interviews Screenshots Wallpapers Concept Art Free 14-Day Trial
Where is the "Download" link? If you are having difficulties with the HTML for a link please check here and stop wasting your time creating flash content and wasting bandwidth posting interviews and trailers. That is my money and my time you are wasting! Not happy!
P.S. I tried downloading the full install from your own site and spent ages downloading what turned out to be the old client I already had (incompatible). Why is that still there? I want answers. If you were working for me and rolled out with your site in this mess you'd all be out of a job.

Ok, we are 5 for 5 on this one.
First, this is on the Mac.
I have twice tried the auto-patch. Each time took 3+ hours. No joy.
Have thrice (don't get to use that word every day :-)) tried the manual download. Now, these only took 15-30 minutes! Much better. But again no joy.
Automatic unzipping and untaring in Safari 4 fails.
When I attempt a manual unzip/untar, I get the following message:
gunzip evepremiumpatch75883-84244-mac.tgz gunzip: evepremiumpatch75883-84244-mac.tgz: invalid compressed data--format violated
A hint for the future: give Mac users .dmg files. They work great. You can compress them with zip or StuffIt and get great compression.
The file up on the server is clearly corrupted. How long will it take to clean this up and get something we can download?
It is never a good day to day! |

So far I have:
Manually installed the patch and even though it showed the correct version the status was still incompatible;
So, I uninstalled all copies of EVE (I had a Sisi copy too) and installed the 75883 from CCP's website, but the auto-patch still din't start;
Then I downloaded the patch from CCP's website and got a checksum error while applying;
Now I trying to download the full 84244 package (even though it's not published on any link, I just guessed the file name based on CCP naming convention).
The last I have no results yet as it will take 1hr to finish the DL...

Autopatcher suggested that i downloaded the new build, after about 4 hours it downloaded (not sure on which drive exactly, though), started unpacking and the runned out of disk space (it didn't warn how much is needed beforehand). New .exe file has already installed, but it just won't run, so i uninstalled it completely.

Sorry but those 2 client downloaders are bull****!
Why dont you put an Direct Link avaible or an .torrent file to use another torrent manager? Both ways i could PAUSE the download.
It isnt everyone that has GREAT connections, mine is only 2MBPS but now it got to 30KB/s. If i had an torrent file, i could download faster and SEED.
**** what are your problem people we're paying for this! Release a .torrent file! crap!
If you release and torrent file, everyone would be happier cause everyone would download faster(as the ones who fineshed the download would seed it too).
RELEASE IT! AFF

First of all, I am a linux user. I know you abandoned us, but as explained in the forums, we weren't using the official linux version, as Wine runs EVE just fine. Cedega is evil, what with their charging subscription fees for free software. You should have just hired some wine developers to fix wine so it runs EVE really well.
Okay, rant done, the autopatcher failed saying it needed BITS. I spent 3 hours this morning trying to get BITS to work in wine. Long story short I think I totally pooched my wine before I gave up. The manual patch failed requiring BITS. The link to the manual download crashed wine. The full installer required BITS. This all ****es me off.
I think I've found a work around and I'm half done downloading the RTP for the patch that required BITS. I'm hoping it won't try to use BITS if it already has the RTP file.
But seriously, if I wasn't the type of person to try really hard to fix things myself without help, I would have already submitted a petition and demanded 3 months of free play for my inconvenience. Always make the alternatives obvious please. |

You are still broken!
Ok, I thought it might be a compatibility issue with Safari 4, so I went and did a direct download of the patch via Firefox 3.
No joy!
Given the error messages I am seeing, you have one of two problems:
- The download process is corrupting the package - highly, higly unlikely!
- The package you uploaded is corrupted - much more likely
While 1 would be difficult to fix, 2 is very easy to fix. Someone needs to create a new patch package and upload it to the servers and push it out to the CDN edge.
Will CCP be giving those of us who could not get on today, and wasted a lot of time trying to get things to work, a refund or credit for the FUBAR of a day we have here?
Is someone from CCP actually going to get online and respond to the issue we have here? Give an update? How about some support?
It is never a good day to day! |

I got a huge problem here.
I have spent a good portion of the day downloading over a Gigabyte-sized update. After successfully installing the update, I went ahead and downloaded the patch that came after. But as soon as the patch was downloaded, a window came up and told me that the installation failed. I tried to restart Eve Online, but then a pop-up window told me that my client has corrupted and I need to reinstall. It does that now everytime I restart Eve. How do I go around this problem?
Thank you.

Originally by: Knaar First of all, I am a linux user. I know you abandoned us, but as explained in the forums, we weren't using the official linux version, as Wine runs EVE just fine. Cedega is evil, what with their charging subscription fees for free software. You should have just hired some wine developers to fix wine so it runs EVE really well.
Okay, rant done, the autopatcher failed saying it needed BITS. I spent 3 hours this morning trying to get BITS to work in wine. Long story short I think I totally pooched my wine before I gave up. The manual patch failed requiring BITS. The link to the manual download crashed wine. The full installer required BITS. This all ****es me off.
I think I've found a work around and I'm half done downloading the RTP for the patch that required BITS. I'm hoping it won't try to use BITS if it already has the RTP file.
But seriously, if I wasn't the type of person to try really hard to fix things myself without help, I would have already submitted a petition and demanded 3 months of free play for my inconvenience. Always make the alternatives obvious please.
If you had been watching the LINUX SECTION posts, you would have known how to update with little issue prior to posting here.
This link: Linux Section Patch Info has the proper FULL patch links for the rtp included patches plus how to use them.
Also for you windows users needing the combined patches, the links in that post will work for you as well as we linux users are now back on the pure "windows" client under wine. Just fyi!

Any chance we can get an update on why the autopatcher isn't even prompting to update. I just wasted 1.3 GB downloading the full client only to find it's totally the wrong version.

I had to download the patch/game three times.
The first time, I downloaded the 1.4gb patch through the auto-updater and I got a wrong version error. The second time, I downloaded the full client and it gave me an md5sum error.
I uninstalled the game (originally from Steam), re-downloaded the full client from the website (now 3rd time), rebooted my computer, and it finally worked. I forgot to back up my files so I lost my Overview Settings.
Hope this helps someone~

Originally by: Jredd I downloaded the patch just fine but don't have the shader 2.0. Do I download premium lite as I would the shader?
You cannot play eve with no shader model 2. You cannot download the software to run this, you need a newer graphics cards. A shader model 2 card should be less than $50 so it wont be expensive and you pc will run faster :)

WTF??? My client will not ATTEMPT to download the patch, and I'm not going to read 1,000 pages of forums to try to figure it out. I did download the bulk data seperately, no problem there, but COME ON!!! Give me a "download patch" link or something, sheesh!!! I feel like a complete moron staring at the login screen just hoping it will start to download the patch. One thing I know for sure: I'd be fired if I screwed up this big at my job!

When i downloaded the patch, as it tried to install, it threw up an error about it being unable to patch. It was 2 lines of red text.
I got around this, buy doing the following!
Goto: C:\Documents and Settings\YOURUSERNAME\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility\cache
Note, YOURUSERNAME is the user of the account your on.
Inside this folder there is a patch file for the version you want.
Run it, it will do some strange things with errors, and will skip a few things, and then install.
I had to do this with both patches, but they installed perfectly, have been playing Eve since, no issues!

I will try to be the 50 year old voice of reason here....
Patches can be screwy with new deployment, that is a given. I would hope CCP would learn from this deployment fiasco and seed multiple downloads across many, many servers including bit torrent and the other suggestions. Waiting almost 10 hours to download 3 times to have all fail for "verification" is a frustration I will leave to your Nordic imagination.
Please provide a suitable fix/patch for your customer base...we have waited long and have supported you in a tough economy.
Thank you.

What gives you the idea that they put it on a single server? All of the links they've given, http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net, use the domain llnwd.net which is the domain of one of the largest content distribution networks in the world. LimeLight networks (the guys who own the llnwd.net domain) have hundreds of points of presence and entire data centers spread out across multiple continents. They are as far away from "a single server" as you could possibly be. My company uses them to distribute updates for a product of ours, and we don't have these types of issues.

This is unbelievable. It is not that the autopatcher isn't working for some people...like me. It is the fact that providing the downloads to the patches to apply manually on the web site are not available. I don't mind a long download time, but how do you not have the patches ready to download and apply manually. I have been playing EVE for 3 1/2 years and this is the biggest botch I have seen yet. To top it all off, there is no clear communication that there is an issue. I love this game, but am getting seriously close to canceling both of my accounts. Some other forums say to go and submit a Bug report, well I did that and no response.
So to the point of this. The message I am replying to says there are speed and file verification issues. There are people that can't even receive, connect to or download any type of patch. If I was making any type of progress I would not be posting.
FYI, I am running the latest version 75883, which worked yesterday, on Windows Vista.

The 'link' I gave isn't to a specific file, its the domain thats hosting the updates files. The update is here http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch84063-84244.exe
The domain itself, ccp.vo.llnwd.net, maps out to hundreds of machines all over the world. You can easily test this from your own computer by running "host ccp.vo.llnwd.net" in the terminal of a Linux or OS X machine, or "ping ccp.vo.llnwd.net" on Windows. The IP address you get back should be the closest datacenter to you.
For instance, here in Masschusetts: Oneiroi:~ tedivm$ host ccp.vo.llnwd.net ccp.vo.llnwd.net has address 208.111.128.7 ccp.vo.llnwd.net has address 208.111.128.6
Or in Texas: tedivm@eris:~$ host ccp.vo.llnwd.net ccp.vo.llnwd.net has address 68.142.122.70 ccp.vo.llnwd.net has address 68.142.123.254

Sevarus, if this works you rule. But still the problem remains, why was the location of these downloads just not posted right up on Eve's main website? Would that have been so difficult? NO, but they didn't bother to do that. Why even rely on the forums? This is just bad business sense.

Please put a complete Windows client 84244 on the Eve client downloads page. The network installer version was a bad choice for at least two reasons:
1) Many of us have multiple machines to update. Downloading the Apochrypha client once and applying it multiple times would be better for everyone.
2) Some of us do not have broadband access where we play. We can usually manage a high speed download by using network access at a friend's or at work, but a 2 Gigabyte download over dialup is going to take well over 80 hours, if it can be accomplished at all.
This is something you can, and should, correct within the next day. The issues of applying multiple patches to achieve an upgrade and network-based installation are completely separable.

How do I go about getting a refund / my sub extended by a month?

Originally by: Lavoslav Penkala I had problems with autopatcher not starting to download at all. After waiting for sorry ass ******* to finaly crawl out of their holes and address us users on how to correct this issue for over 12h I took the matters into my own hands. Sorted the thing by downloading the patches by hand myself and running them manualy:
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch75883-84244_m.exe This one is 1.3GB gets you the new Apo-epic-patch-fail splash screen and got my client to 83913 version, then
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch83913-84244_m.exe This one is 13.23Mb and made the client the actual version capable of connecting and playing.
Thank you so much for this. Been looking all over the net for this. The autopatcher was averaging at 6-8 kb/s. I'm from the Philippines, but heck, that is uberslow even by the standards of our internet here.
Got those direct links and am now downloading the patches via Orbit Download Manager in firefox. Getting 2 to 4 times the speed of the autopatcher. Right on! :D
At least it cut back the download time. ETA on the autopatcher was a heartbreaking 52-70 hours (even at 32% completed). Now ETA is down to less than a day with the direct file downloads.
Thanks again.

At least I know that each time I download it CCP pays that much more in bandwidth. Won't be long now before these guys are in the red, for my subscription at least.
Edit: Well, I'm skipping the autoloader and grabbing the OSX client itself now. I've noticed the file says premium, which would be nice since previously there wasn't a premium version for OSX. If CCP gets this stuff working soon, and this is a real update to the OSX client, I'll let this mess slide without too much more *****ing.

Please please please get this message up some where, I don't follow dev blogs, i'm a casual player. When I tried to patch today, I went through a bunch of trouble shooting steps on my own before delving through the forums. I eventually found hints from other posts that classic didn't work, so I googled the issue. If you are discontinuing a client, please post it in a very visible way! I've been mucking about for hours trying to fix a client that apparently isn't supported anymore?

I downloaded it from here- http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/mac/eve-premium_002289_84244_mac.dmg
I got that link from the downloads page (http://www.eveonline.com/download/).
I have already managed to log in and it is running smoothly. I have to say, it looks fantastic. The premium graphics finally being available for OS X makes such a huge difference- the ships themselves look so much better.

No, that's how the installation process works now. It downloads an exe that downloads the FULL client....

Wrong, guys ... although I can only offer you half an answer, I'm afraid.
There is indeed a full Windows install file for the client ... EVE_Premium_Setup_84244_m.exe (note the "_m" suffix, for MANUAL installation). Unfortunately, I don't have the full URL available, since I downloaded my copy via Torrent. I've seen references to the full URL sprinkled throughout various threads - do a forum search and see what you can find. But the full install file is definitely out there - and better yet, it even works when you install it.

OK. I think I am having the same ****** problems as everyone else. I look to be told I have the latest build. No connect (Incompatible build). I accidentally uninstall eve. I reinstall eve after a 6+ hr wait because of my ****ty net and DCs. AND I STILL DON"T HAVE THE RIGHT BUILD! WTF IS BULL****? I LIKED EVE BECAUSE OF THE STRESS FREE PATCHING, UNLIKE WOW WERE IT WOULD TAKE DAYS WITH THEIR GAY ASS DOWNLOADER. THIS **** HAPPENS? I'm ABOUT TO RAGE OUT OF EVE. FIx YOUR ****, IF IT IS ME, TELL ME WHAT TO DO AND STOP WASTING MY TIME. |

I foolishly suggested that you do a forum search for the filename I referenced. My apologies, I should have known that CCP would never allow so useful a function as "search" to be available on their website.
However, I did do a little screwing around ... this may or may not work, but it's as close as I'm going to get, I think ...

Yesterday I successfully installed the patch for Apocrypha at home, but now I can not find that to install at work. It says I do not have to install 82996 patch to my main EVE config to continue playing. It is only for testing now. But my client does not allow me to start because of an incompatible version. It confuses me a lot. Give me the explanation please???

Gosh I orginally downloaded the full patch > 1.3 something gig when it was available... I got it downloaded then I was 75% finished installing and my computer FROZE! Then when I logged back on to try the patch again, my EvE wouldnt load lol! cause the patch screwed it up when my OS crashed... so ahh I tried reinstalling the patch over top... let alone no luck, so then I had to Un-install EvE all together and download the FULL build from servers here. So I did that and now I only got 78853 or whatever lol! Then I find out there is a new update since I downloaded last night? so I start downloading this RIDICULOUS Patch 1.3 and I look at the patch update about 30 mins later and realize hang on a second... that's not 84244 patch... omg! so NOW I've wasted ... almost 3 gig of my internet download for the month, I now have to download another RIDICULOUS patch sitting at a massive 1.9 gig WHAT THE HELL!!!!!!!!!! CCP you owe me lots of download, this patch better be HELL worth it or I'm getting my money back.

I don't see any point downloading anymore until CCP says they fixed the issue. I have a file called EVE_Premium_Setup_84244_m downloaded and it's around 1.94 GB. However, they said there is a checksum error. That usually means there is a discrepancy between what was downloaded and what the app expects to have downloaded and not anything with the actual installation process yet. I've tried everything from downloading several time, uninstalling the client, etc. I sure wished I upgraded from Classic to Premium before all then I wouldn't have to deal with all this nonsense but everyone has 20/20 hindsight. BTW, is there really a premium lite version or is it just premium with the settings on low?

I'm sorry, but there have been too many reports of the various autopatcher/installer programs erroring out after partial or even complete downloads ... including the specific installer the poster mentions.
I'd strongly urge all readers to go ahead and directly download the manual installation file I cited previously.

Did you try clearing your EvE cache folder along with your corrupted install ? Under XP it is located in "C:\Documents and Settings\[InsertUserSessionNameHere]\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility\"

Oh, there's been a reply ... if you'll look at CCP Navigator's Issues List post ( http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1018302 ) you'll see that s/he cites THIS thread as containing the "workaround" for the autopatching problem. Mind you, the only official post in this thread I could find was the first one that says "It's broken, and we don't know why" ... unless of course you count all the edits by mods warning of dire consequences if you download executes from a third-party site.
Now ... are they so out of touch with reality that they honestly believe there's a solution in here, or are they just so arrogant that they figure we won't notice?

Ok, at home with a broadband connection I was able to get 1.8 MB/s download rate about 12 min to download patch. Here at work we have a T1 connection but its downloading at 161 kB/sec. WTF? Also, I had an error message the first time I downloaded the patch and had to reinstall the client. Maybe one of these expansions will have a smooth update process but right now it sucks.

I agree ... let's see if we can narrow anything down. I'm running Windows XP SP3 (32-bit), and I downloaded my manual install file from a REAL torrent file (not the pseudo-Torrent downloader), the link to which was posted by one of the devs in the temporary forum. My Torrent client reports the following hash code for that file as C2622D2B5AA9A88E88E94902A22F14ACAF7176D4.

you know I did submit this as a BUG 6 months ago... next time don't say its just my internet speed and connection and say that you would of heard of this if it happend to more than one person (me) when I put in the bug for yay to look into
Maybe the people who had this problem never got around to signing up (paying) for an account because this happened to them so that's why you never heard of it...

Well after I re-installed my OS last time I got this error with last patch that was like 6 months ago I found it it was because of the main download so I used the bittorrent download and that fixed the problem but now the bit torrent is messy so I have no clue how to fix the download again GRRR.

I was in the "screwed with patching" crowd too and when I first decided a full install the estimated time for download was 14 hours... not long after, CCP said they were aware of the poor download rates, so I decided to go play something else and come back later. 3 hours later I gave it another try and found myself getting 600kbps download rate. I had deleted both corrupted install and cache prior to this try. 1 hour later game was downloaded and successfully installed.
Server population has been over 20K for hours, I guess yet again it seems like a huge problem everyone's having because only discontented customers voice their issue, while the ones without a problem hardly, if ever, voice their satisfaction. Yet they are the vast majority as proven by server population statistics http://www.eveonline.com/serverStatusGraph/ServerStatus.aspx?gid=1
They'll figure the issue out, don't worry

Awesome content ladies and gents at CCP. I had no trouble downloading or installing! Everything looks incredible. I was just wondering if there is anything special about 64 bit Vista that would require an additional download or a different patch. What I have now works great, but somewhere in the process I ended up with a Eve Premium 84244 m Installer on my desktop, I tried to run it just to see if it was something I should, or if it was what I had installed, and it said: "The version of this file is not compatible with the version of windows you're running. Check your computer's system information to see whether you need an x86 (32-bit) or x64(64 bit) version of the program, and then contact the software publisher. Is this why I had to download twice, or is there another/different patch that will make your already incredible game even more cool.

Currently I'm stuck on this step, but then you would be too at 30KB/s. It's pretty laughable when you consider that earlier today I downloaded the full "_m" manual install using a real download manager at 450KB/s, twice. Interestingly, those two downloads were each of different sizes (2,044,219KB and 2,044,250KB) but they both failed anyway, the first to checksum errors and the second to data errors while extracting.
With the initial unsuccessful attempt at the 1.3GB patch this morning (unknown error, code 25) and the partial download I have in progress now using CCP's awfully slow "installer", that would be roughly 6GB I've downloaded today; over 5 of which has been for absolutely nothing.

I managed to find this link posted much earlier this morning in another thread. It's a Torrent file to download the manual full install of the Windows 32-bit client.
http://dl.eve-files.com/media/0903/EVE_Premium_Setup_84244_m.exe.torrent
WHAT IT IS; A real Torrent file, that requires a real Torrent client (like BitTorrent or uTorrent) to process. if you don't already have a BitTorrent client, this file will do you absolutely no good.
WHAT IT'S NOT: The kludged-together homegrown EVE downloader that pretends to be a Torrent client, that's linked to from the EVE download page.

Went to open the eve client and begin auto patching process, what do you know 10 KB/s??? What a joke, total download time over 35 hours. My connection speed in 24 Mega Bit.
Finally found the fallback installer which is the full build which I am currently downloading at 250 KB/s with a download manager, 3 hours which is bearable. CCP you guys have to fix this, I will not be happy if I find myself with a broken installer.

Great. My broadband is hosed, and I have to try and use dial-up to download 1.3gb... And it won't continue a previous download, so I have to try and keep a dial-up connection for approximately six days. Without dropping.
So I try and download the patch with a download manager in hopes that I CAN continue after an interruption, it ends up being the 900K auto-patcher again, which then goes on its merry way sucking my will to live all over again. There's no actual patch file, just that stupid downloader? So I can't even have somebody download the @#$% thing for me?!?
And this is before I've had a chance to worry about the CRC errors people are complaining about. Who thought that thing was a good idea? Or finished, even?

I'm trying to get Eve working again on my Mac. Nobody (CCP) hears my cries, but here's the list anyway: 1. Tried autopatcher yesterday, failed. Posted on forum, CCP responded with "wait till we tell you, after 12:00" 2. Waited till 14:00 when CCP said, autopatcher failed. Posted on forum, CCP responded with "Get manual download from web page." 3. Started download of evepremiumpatch75883-84063-mac.tgz ~2.2GB, posted to thread asking if this was the right path, CCP responded "yes". 4. Halfway through the download, hours and hours later (slow BW at my current location), the download stopped. After some digging I discovered the file was removed from the server. (Thanks) 5. Wanted to post to the Mac patch online thread - gone. 6. Went to the patch page on web again, the file is now called evepremiumpatch75883-84244-mac.tgz ~2.2BG. Started download. Will only see tomorrow (did I mention slow BW?) if it worked.
I understand the file actually comes from different servers depending on where you request it from. I'm downloading from 68.142.101.7. Just hope the file isn't broken on 'my' server like many of you are experiencing, else I have to download the whole darn thing again, and again, and again... (cries!!) (I can just hear you guys saying "you poor twit..." )
Later.

WHAT IT IS; A real Torrent file, that requires a real Torrent client (like BitTorrent or uTorrent) to process. if you don't already have a BitTorrent client, this file will do you absolutely no good.
WHAT IT'S NOT: The kludged-together homegrown EVE downloader that pretends to be a Torrent client, that's linked to from the EVE download page.
Yeah, shame on you for posting a useful link. 'Cause now it's a 404 error page, and unreachable at least by uTorrent.
Meanwhile, is there an answer on the previously called "Premium Lite" version. Does it actually exist or is it just the Premium version with everything on low?
I could swear earlier announcements of Apocypha said we Classic users would be upgraded to Premium-Lite, not screwed over and left to whistle in the wind and maybe use the lowest settings on the full Premium Content client.
(Not that I'm frustrated with this mismanaged mangling of a Patch Day, or bitter about the Dev treatment so far ;)) EDIT: Other possible cause of bitterness: I've been trying to file a petition about this for the last three hours. All I get is a hanging progress bar after hitting submit -- at least until the browser gets tired and times out. So much for 'support'.
Yeah, just a little frustrated and bitter.

Edited by: Fin LongDong on 11/03/2009 07:45:29 Don't worry Tam I filed my Last night 1am (AEST) and I still have no response... and now when I try to go to my petitions the webpage freezes lol!
I just got this from CCP in reply to my petition I'll let you know if it works but for everyone else here is the run down.
Hi.
This is a massreply to all customers who filed their petitions under Installation and patching, we are sending this massreply to try get back to as many players as possible in one go.
If you are having problems downloading the patch either manually or using the autopatcher there are a few alternatives for you.
Windows: 1. Bittorrent. You can download and install this small program that downloads the client for you http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/EVE_Premium_Setup_84244_m.exe-downloader.exe
2. You can download the full patch and full client manually ( these are direct links to the 2Gb+ files, not the 915kb files that download the patch/client for you ) Installer: http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/EVE_Premium_Setup_84244_m.exe Patch: http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch75883-84244_m.exe
If downloading the patch or full client manually has failed for you consider using a download manager to see if that helps.
Mac:
1 The latest full build and patch can be found here: Full installer: http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/mac/eve-premium_002289_84244_mac.dmg Install the .dmg file as you would do with any other Mac program.
Patch: http://www.eveonline.com/patches/patches.asp?s=&system=mac&edition=&n=75883 Simply extract the .tgz file and then double click on the file that's extracted to patch the client
If this reply does not address nor solve your problem please update the petition so we can assist.
Best regards, Senior GM Retrofire EVE Online Customer Support

Edited by: Delian Slevin on 11/03/2009 08:25:48 Well managed to update one account on one of my computers but on this one even after following the advice given i'm on fifth download. Least its not showing a 12 hour download time to completion.
Although I am now near the bone with my ISP's download allowance for the month. I've used over ten gig to keep getting a corupt file. Least I do have one computer updated.
trouble is at this rate I'll have no download amount left i've use more in one day than I do playing eve over a three month period.
wish we could just go back to download and install not use an online installer.Thats what seems to be the issue for me any way but I have to say on the comp I can use it's like wow well done but could you just shoot the guy who game up with this method of updating.

I'm on a Mac and tried the patch 3 times from the autopatcher always with the same result: when he verifies it he says there was an error and its corrupt ...
but I did try to download the new client for Mac that includes the premium here on the website on a different machine and that works just fine. Only disadvantage: you loose all your ingame settings... (overviews, chat, etc.)
so its either waiting until the situation is resolved and one can patch from the autopatcher and keep his settings or one wants to play immediately and downloads the new Mac Version and looses his ingame settings.

Originally by: Calandris Ok just got this to work myself right now, with 2 steps. Just download from those and it should work.
1) http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/EVE_Premium_Setup_84063.exe
2) http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch84063-84244.exe
Thanks to ISpydeRI for giving the info, just thought I would repost from another thread.
Thanks a lot, this worked for me with one minor change. I added '_m' to each link to get the full version and not the auto-downloaded.
Links: 1) http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/EVE_Premium_Setup_84063_m.exe 2) http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch84063-84244_m.exe
Especially if you use wine, you HAVE to download the complete versions, as the auto-download always seems to fail. But even with Windows it's a good idea to download with a trusted program.

What i did:
- download the patch-loader:
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch75883-84244.exe
- download the rtp:
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/EVEPREMIUM.5.20.75883-6.10.83913.RTP (full-speed dl)
- move both files in a directory, copy the rtp-file, if you have more than one client, because it is deleted after the patch
start the patch-file (you've got it in step 1) and it will use the rtp, if it is located in the same directory
- download the second patch:
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch83913-84244.exe
- start the second patch (it's only 10MB)
- repeat steps 3 and 5 for every other client

Originally by: cuncannon Might Help if you sort the full download out, you are still showing the old version, which I may also like to point out dont patch either.
I been trying to download the correct build since the server came up, and its now over 6 hrs and it still wont patch or even download.
Current Client Version: 5.20.75883 there is no patch for this build
Times now 08:42, just checked to see if ccp got there thumb's out there backsides yet, still now full download on their site and also no update. Still the full download is the wrong client number. 10 Hours since I posted wrong full client build / patch and CCP still not sorted it.
DOES CCP EVER READ THESE POSTS
Some people will get so charged for breaking their daily download cap mines ment to be 3gb F.U.P (fair use policy) on virgin media, so today my bandwidth is going to be capped 5mb down till 00:00. Think I ended up downloading 6.4 gb yesterday and they all failed.

On the Premium Lite issue; last night I downloaded the patch for my desktop and laptop (the download on my laptop took about 5 hours - I'm not sure how long because I went to bed). It turns out that a Radeon 9700 with a decent processor will run acceptably with everything on high but no bloom. My desktop only runs with the most quality being medium - it actually looks worse than the classic client. ---------------------------------------------- "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."

Thanks to this patch my laptop no longer mets the required minimum to run eve, i downloaded patch fine...if fine is 3hrs of boredom. What does CCP intend to do about those people with older computers or laptops that can not run eve anymore?? tell them to buy new laptops? comeone CCP bring back the older graphics for those who want to use them and let all the newer models use the better ones.

Can you enter the main screen to get to options so that you can change it ?, I was under the impression that's how you change to premium lite?

when i tried to update EVE with "runas" the download would work but the installation would not start with an "Error 3"
The old patching worked that way, so please CCP, could you give me the runas-compatiblity (Windows XP) back? |

Originally by: Lavoslav Penkala I had problems with autopatcher not starting to download at all. After waiting for sorry ass ******* to finaly crawl out of their holes and address us users on how to correct this issue for over 12h I took the matters into my own hands. Sorted the thing by downloading the patches by hand myself and running them manualy:
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch75883-84244_m.exe This one is 1.3GB gets you the new Apo-epic-patch-fail splash screen and got my client to 83913 version, then
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch83913-84244_m.exe This one is 13.23Mb and made the client the actual version capable of connecting and playing.
Well, the first patch is actually 1.35GB and with the second one, it worked. Thanks a lot for finding a way to get back into the game. It's been 32 hrs since I was ingame. Evemon kept saying that the server was messed up and I just thought there was problems so I decided to check out the forums till I saw a post saying it was up. I then tried all kinds of things and ended up having to delete and reinstall Eve Premium, still couldn't get anything and decided to check the forums again and found this thread, tried some of the other so called fixes and still nothing till I found this post. Thanks again. Now I'm gonna log into the game and see if Murfy's Law strikes again. (If it works, someone will ..... it up, etc.)

after 24 hours, 5 different attempts at both the patch and the full install I have yet been able to download anything of use.
Tried the various manual ones listed by those here and they all failed part way through. Tried the lovely new way ccp wants it done with the little mini program yet every time my connection drops it starts over at 0 again.
So once CCP shows they can overcome their incompetence at releasing a major content update I will gladly try the game again. Until that time fare thee well EvE.

Does anyone out there have an email address for CCP? Post it here so we can send our complaints somewhere where they are read.
P.S. Thanks all for your useful posts. I managed to download and install the full premium client and got connected this morning using my Samsung NC10 netbook (it didn't complain about the graphics). It looks good but CCP you need to help these people out and get a post on your main web page for downloading and reinstalling. Most of us are happy to do it if we can find the correct files. Give them to us or you are going to lose customers!! It took me ages to even find this thread, imagine all the people stuck out there with problems who haven't even found it.

I finally got it working also. To those who still have this problem, it's worth trying again (I used the link just a few posts ago in my post). I had Eve uninstalled but it probably shouldn't make a difference because it didn't matter yesterday.

After 7 failed attempts, 37 hours and 18 minutes of downloading time,(not to mention the amount of GB I downloaded for nothing) I succeeded to download the new version. The last attempt took 15 hours 18 mins.
This link is what worked for me. http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/EVE_Premium_Setup_84244.exe,
I also followed the advice written in the threads and deleted the Eve file before I installed the new one.
To all the guys that offered their advice and help a very sincere THANKS too you.

I've dl the patch four times now without any luck. I'm running it on a MAC. HELP! Is there any other way to dl the patch except through the login screen of the game?
I have the same problem on my Mac, although I have only tried once so far.
It says the patch is about 2.2Gb. This is in the Auto-patcher from the Quantum Rise version. Is it supposed to be that large please?

Hi. I Need Help. I have a slow internet connection. I use a desktop PC. I need a broadband connection to download the program. But I can not move my pc. Do tell me the link to download the file to 2gb, and you can install on my pc?

I personally dont understand why ccp switches to this (bad) version of installer.
I dont own a real broadband conection. I only get 384 kbit/s downrate (48kb/s). Its enough to play eve or other games. It was enough to download patches during night (when i sleep), pause it during day (when i`m working), and resume download at night to get the files. This works for nearly each game.
Now, thats impossible. I have to download more than 11 hours, to get the patch. Nearly 20 hours to get the client. No possibility to pause and resume a download.
Actuall im loading the complete file (shown on page with 1.94gb) at work. But actual i have more than 2.2gb downloaded. So the installer is not right with the size of file.
I pay for this game and actual its not possible to play it. I`m loosing time in skilling, making money etc.
Shame on you CCP.

Just a thought.
If the low graphics version for the Mac is over 2Gb, the full graphics version for the PC must be huge.
Let us hope CCP get these issues sorted out soon, as the update sounds good.

That's the full client manual download, apparently others have had success with it, some have said you may need to delete something in program files/ccp (I just had a couple of empty folders : upgradng from classic, so I just deleted the lot).
I'll let you know if I get it to work

AS SUCH THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN OK ... IF ANNOUNCED

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK THE GAME-OWNERS .. WHO MAKE A FAT LIVING AMONGST THEIR POORER COUNTRY-MEN HOW THEY WILL COMPENSATE ME FOR THE MANY LOST HOURS ORGANIZING MY GAME-PLAY ...

I have the same problem on my Mac, although I have only tried once so far.
It says the patch is about 2.2Gb. This is in the Auto-patcher from the Quantum Rise version. Is it supposed to be that large please?
Don't use the patch on the Mac.. Just D/L the full client file. It worked for me at least. My PC still suffers from the corrupted file problem though..Has anyone fould a fix for that?

so i have a mac and downloaded the patch thrice already getting the error in download load of crap message. I have deleted my eve file and started to download the game once again. I may make mention that the last time i downloaded the game the full download took ten minutes while this is 10 hours suggestion would be to keep the old installer
will update if this download fails or succeeds

Not that I've seen.. I still can't get my PC to work with it. I've downloaded countless times.. Between the patches and the Full install I'd say at least 8 times at this point.
CCP needs to get off their ass and give us a direct D/L to the full install.exe rather than jerking us around with a faulty downloader.

You can download a full client from the website already, you don't need to use the downloader. What I'm saying is that no matter what method we try, it won't work :-S

u asked if i tried to download or switch to lite graphics when i click the eve client file, it gives me a 'dunt' sound then tells me i no longer have the minimum graphics required to run eve , i went to a pc store and asked if i can upgrade and was told no not on a laptop thats as old as mine (3years old) apart from spending 1000 euro on a new one i am no longer able to play eve. if ye know how to fix this problem and let me get back on eve, please send me a mail [email protected] and let me know what i can do, please be aware my skill with computers is limited and i am also extremely ****ed at ccp for doing this upgrade of graphics which i believe they should have left the **** alone so that people with older machines do not have this problem. Thanks CCP u just got rid of hundreds of EVE players in one patch.

For what it is worth I have had exactly the same problem, four times. There is no excuse for this and I resent having to even consider all of the technical solutions being discussed. For the money this company makes on this game it should work perfectly, the first time.

Eve does NOT have to be a standard route installation (ie: c:/programfiles/ccp/eve) If you have a spare drive you can point the install on that. It will install anywhere you tell it. All it will do is create a folder called ccp. Just make sure the shortcut points there and all should be well.
good luck

It won't let me chose where to extract to at the beginning of the installation. It is automatically set to my C drive.
I have a Radeon 9200. Does that mean I won't be able to play EVE anyway?

Ok I just had SUCCESS installing with the file corruption issue.
1. Don't patch, just uninstall and D/L the full version. (DO NOT USE THE TORRENT OPTION)
2) Using the normal windows download option select a diffrent location for the install from the defualt. I used C:/Program Files/CCP/EVE1
The torrent D/L option doesn't give you the option on where to install, hence the reason you can't use it if your getting the corrupt files issue.
3) install and it should work..

Hey everyone. Got a question that I really need an answer for. I logged into the game and downloaded the patch client. It states that its about 1.9 gig in size... No problems... till the Eve-Online Installer states that all in all I have to download 3989 megabytes... 4 GIG!!! ???? Whats going on? Anyone else had this issue? I left the installer running for almost the last 24hours and have gotten 1.5 gig downloaded (slow connection)..but i swear it only originally said i need to d/l 1.9 gig. |

Your original client, was it Classic or Premium? If it was classic I can only guess you're having to download the premium content?

Actually, if you dl the full patch version, using 7-zip to extract isnt a bad idea. It takes 1 minute to tell you if you have any corrupt files so that saves you the trouble of trying to install if it is.
So far: I dl'ed the full patch - corrupt (just started my 5th attempt) used the torrent - corrupt using the installer for full patch - corrupt insalled version 71655 (old one) and tried to update that - corrupt dl'ed via IE instead of FF - corrupt
TBH, I have absolutely no faith in CCP fixing this issue or even attempting to fix this issue. They will do what they always do, leave it to the player base to find the fix if there is one
Still, 10 more days until my skill needs changing so im not in a panic .. yet
good luck everyone
EDIT: Btw, I have removed ALL traces of Eve from my computer .. no ccp folder in programme files, no folder in appdata, no folder in docs and settings (screenies etc), removed it all .. still no joy

Yeah it probably is to be quite honest. It's been a couple of patches since Trinity so there's probably more added on.

Is there any way that I can specify what folder to extract to?

On my fifth attempt now....I really hope it works this time. After four failures of the installer that connected online to download the 2GB file and the ensuing 2GB patch, I'm now getting the plain giant installer (hopefully, my network limit isn't low lol)
I feel for those whose bandwidth ran out. Good luck to you getting this up and running...I certainly hope that this is the last time this happens to me and I can move on.
If worst comes to worst my brother (who is also running Vista 32-bit) somehow successfully patched with the automatic patcher on the first try. I can at least keep my character in training.

*For anybody who was using the classic version and XP*
I had no joy (like many of you) d/loading the offical patches. I scanned through this whole thread and noticed the piratebay torrent (linked on page 6). What do you know, it worked! No extra patch d/loads were needed after that, I was straight in.
What I did was to delete the eve folder in prog files/ccp and I added a '1' to the end of the suggested install path (this just seemed to make sense for some reason).
Hope this will be of help to some..

Get this **** of yours fixed asap, I am a EFFIN ****ed costumer right now.
All these ****ups you're doing make me want to quit this fantastic game, the game is brilliant in all ways but your work ethics are ****ED up, corrupted staff, giving out bpo's et cetera et cetera!

I just spent 4 hours downloading a whole new version of the eve client to find out that the files in the download are corrupted. I have a skill to change in about a week. Could you fix this whole thing before I need to change skillz? I work full time and I go to college full time,(working on my accounting degree). I rarely get a full night off and I just spent it downloading 830 megs or so of software that doesn't work. Could you please plan a little better next time? I don't get a lot of time off from real life and I would prefer to spend it enjoying myself. I didn't tonight.

Not sure why but.... I had the same issue when i clicked on the EVE exe. and tryed to log in the New build window prompted for the patch dl and said it was 1390.6 mb in size so i chose to dl but when the updater started the dl it wasover 2270 mb. Well it turned out I had coped the eve file to connect to the test server and i guess it was trying o dl and patch both. deleted the copy and now the dl size is as advertised. Still downloading. but went from 20 something hours to dl to 8 hours (slow dsl on my end)wish me luck |

I see I am not the only one having problems. Also, is an upgraded video card required for this? I saw someone earlier saying they got the client downloaded but found out that they couldn't play because their card didn't support shader 2? I am going to wait til Friday to try and download again unless someone stops me from wasting my time. I was going to renew my subscription for the next year. Good thing you launched this now because if it doesn't work for me Friday, I am Ghandi like the Mahatma! Awesome game! So awesome no one can play it lol! :) No man ever got killed by his wife while giving her a footrub. Rubbing someone elses wife's feet, well... *Fill in the blank* |

Originally by: ZokFotPik I'm trying to get Eve working again on my MacBook Pro, OSX 10.5.6, 4GB RAM, Intel Core2Due 2.5GHz. Nobody (CCP) hears my cries, but here's the list anyway: 1. Tried auto-patcher yesterday, failed. Posted on forum, CCP responded with "wait till we tell you, after 12:00" 2. Waited till 14:00 when CCP said, auto-patcher failed. Posted on forum, CCP responded with "Get manual patch from web page." 3. Started download of evepremiumpatch75883-84063-mac.tgz ~2.2GB, posted to thread asking if this was the right path, CCP responded "yes". 4. Halfway through the download, hours and hours later (slow BW at my current location), the download stopped. After some digging I discovered the file was removed from the server. (Thanks) 5. Wanted to post to the Mac patch online thread - gone. 6. Went to the patch page on web again, the file is now called evepremiumpatch75883-84244-mac.tgz ~2.2BG. Started download. Will only see tomorrow (did I mention slow BW?) if it worked.
I understand the file actually comes from different servers depending on where you request it from. I'm downloading from 68.142.101.7. Just hope the file isn't broken on 'my' server like many of you are experiencing, else I have to download the whole darn thing again, and again, and again... (cries!!) (I can just hear you guys saying "you poor twit..." )
Later.
The misery continues: 7. Finished downloading the patch (2nd time, 15 hours later) tried to un-archive, get "Error 2 - No such file or Directory". Aaaarrrrrgggghhhhh!!!!! 8. Started downloading http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/mac/eve-premium_002289_84244_mac.dmg ~2.3GB from 68.142.101.7. Yet another 15 hours of waiting time. Nooooo!!!!

well , first of all , i play from INDIA. i have a 128 kbps ADSL connect and usual d/l speeds are upto 15 KBps thru direct downloaders and upto 19 KBps thru torrent . > i am not complaining about speeds as this what i have and what i can afford ! what i am trying to convey here is the total unreliability of CCP.
here is the sequence of events that happened to me ( all times are in IST - Indian Standard Time { + 5.30 hrs GMT } as i have no patience to convert it to gmt for ccp > do it yourself ) 1. ) i first started the client patching through the auto updater that starts when we start the client at about 6 pm (18.00) on 10. march - this was for the 1390 MB patch (1 of 3 patches from 75883 ) said it would take 27 hrs so , i just switched off screen and went about real life. the next day ( 11 . march ), there was a powercut and when i restarted my pc , the 800 mb i had downloaded till then had disappeared , although there were re[orts that the autopatcher will resume from where we had left off < a lie !!!
2. ) so , on 11 . march , after the powercut , i decided to manually download the enite client from the website. and what do i end up with ? the old QR 75883 EXE FILE . as i didn't have any choice , i started downloading the same client i used to have ( i had to uninstall the previous client as the autopatcher messed up the client after the powercut ) at about 2 pm (14.00 ) india time .
while the d/l was going on , i kept checking the download page for latest build and also the forums for any clue and saw that many were in the same boat.
3. ) then at about 1 am (01.00 india time) on 12. march , when i checked the download page , i saw that a 84244.exe was available . so , i cancelled the 75883.exe i was downloading and started on the 84244 build , but it was only a 1400 KB file and to my horror , i found that it was the annoying direct downloader ( nullsoft v 2.44 ) which started up and started downloading files into my C:/ drive . i got so furious at this , that i pressed the cancel option and got a " download manually " option in that downloader window. when i click on it , i am taken to , http://www.eveonline.com/download/?fallback=1 where i see a 84244_m.exe file. so , i start this and to my relief , i FINALLY GET THE MANUAL VERSION OF THE LATEST FULL BUILD that gives me the option to pause & resume as i like . so , currently downloading the client , although slow - slow in relative terms > 12 KBps as compared to a normal speed of 15 KBps - still about 24 hours to go but atleast i have total control over the download and it wont disappear when i have a powercut and it bludy won't place files in my c drive !!!
NOW COMING TO MY POINT ( CAPS INTENTIONAL ) , I HAVE NO QUALMS ABOUT THE SPEED AS IT DEPENDS ON MY BANDWIDTH BUT WHAT ABOUT THE PATH ? WHY COULDN'T YOU JUST MAKE THE FULL FINAL CLIENT AVAILABLE ON UR WEBSITE AND GIVE CLEAR LINKS TO PEOPLE WHO WANT TO EITHER DOWNLOAD MAUNUALLY OR THRU THE AUTOUPDATER ? ccp , WHO ARE YOU TO FORCE ME TO PLACE FILES ON MY C DRIVE ? THAT DRIVE IS ONLY FOR THE OS . YOUR USELESS AUTOUPDATER DOESN'T AUTOSAVE AND PLACES EVERYTING IN THE /TEMP FOLDER AND EVERYTHING IS LOST IN THE EVENT OF A POWERCUT .
CAN'T U ATLEAST SEED A TORRENT IN THE NORMAL WAY ? YOUR SO CALLED TORRENT DOWNLOADER IS A JOKE - THE BLUDY THING IS JUST ANOTHER MASKED DIRECT DOWNLOADER. ALL U HAVE TO DO IS JUST START WITH 1 SEED , YES , JUST 1 SEED - THE PLAYERS WILL TAKE CARE OF THE PEER TRAFFIC . IN THIS DAY AND AGE , U BEHAVE IN SUCH A WAY. AND WILL , U COMPENSATE ME FOR THE DAYS I HAVE LOST ? NO , U WONT COS U ARE GREEDY !!! - WITH NO PRACTICAL APPROACH .
AND COMING TO YOUR WEBSITE , IT IS SO ARCHAIC , THE LEFT NAVIGATION BAR SHOULD BE STATIC AND NOT BLUDY DOWNLOAD EACH TIME WE CLICK A LINK AND WHAT'S WITH ALL THE STUPIDD FLASH ON THE RIGHT HABD SIDE ? ONLY PLAYERS WILL COME TO THIS WEBSITE AND THEY WOULD ALREADY KNOW ABOUT ALL THAT STUFF IN FLASSH - U DON'T HAVE TRY TO BRAINWASH PEOPLE - WHO ARE U TO DICTATE ?

compared to your standards , many korean mmo's ( not mentioning any names ) are more competent and atleast their patching & downloading options are smooth ( i hate korean games but sadly they do a better job than you - and they introduce patches every week or fortnight and each is like at 200 MB and they have way more players than eve !!! )
so , in short , YOU CCP ARE TOTALLY INCOMPETENT !!!

It sucks.
So, Tueday, I ran my client, and the auto patch started as was supposed to. I know i've got a slowish link (The BT Exchange will not support anything above 0.5meg, but the best dl-speed I've seen is about 60kbps), so I expected to be downloading the patch for 9-12 hours. I went to bed and left it running.
In the morning: tears. The download had fallen over. The game wouldn't patch. So I visited the EVEonline site and saw - behold, a torrent download. So, even if my crappy link fell over, i'd still have the "bits" already downloaded. I went to work and left it running.
In the afternoon: tears. The download had again fallen over, but amazingling CCP's torrent was no torrent at all, just a different downloader, and all data recived thus far had been lost. (Utterly unacceptable to call a direct download a "torrent" - really CCP, this is a pitchfork and burning torches moment.) So, thought I, "Steam is the way ahead" - I've downloaded big games from them before, and no problem, despite my slow-assed link. (Half Life 2, for instance. Come to think of it, I never had problems downloading big WoW patches either from Blizzard!) I left Steam running and went back to work.
In the evening: tears. Steam had downloaded the game, but horrifyingly it was an old build of QR! Glad to see CCP had shared the latest client with thier online providers, I shed more tears, logged into my new QR client, and said, yes, carry on with the autopatch again. I went to bed.
In the morning: tears. The big patch had downloaded - despite my crappy link - but told me it was incompatable with my current build, and that I should manually download the latest build from CCP.
I'm now downloading the latest build directly. I have a machine that will run the new client. I'm praying for a stable download, because if it fails a 4th time, I'm going to cry and press the cancel sub button, and that'll be really sad.

Considering the experience of patching etc. that they have, downtime evey day day! The organisational skills of the ccp team leave much to be desired. They are a complete bunch of muppets. It is only our stupidity that keeps us playing. Imagine this bunch trying to sort out a game with the player base of wow!! How long has eve been running and only 45 k players, says something really.

Autopatcher: no go. I figure fine, I need to redo my overviews anyway so I download the full client FROM CCP'S WEBSITE, and guess what, when I try to install it it says its corrupted. GG CCP.
So now I'm downloading the torrent version, maybe you guys got that version correct?
And to add a bit of usefullness to the flame, I'm running XP SP2, perhaps that is my 'problem'.

Ok I found it, and the problem is very simple. This latest version of eve, is trying to connect to the interenet in ways that my firewall doesn't accept. This wasn't a problem ever before, so it's the new build.
This goes for the patcher as well as the installer and the client.
I tell my firewall to accept it, like it always did. But now EVe doesn't get trhough. I use the old "Tiny personal firewal" small but effective and this is the first time it has problems with a program. Sothe problem lies with the last build of eve.

WHO ARE JUST INTERESTED IN THAT AND NOT ME I PAY FOR SOMETHING I DO NOT RECIEVE ! I HAVE READ THAT A HARDCOPY VERSION SHOULD BE AVAILABLE FOR 33 DOLLAR ( ATARI ) PLEASE INFORM ME WHERE I CAN OBTAIN THAT AS I AM TIRED OF DEALING WITH THE OBVIOUS INCOMPETENCY OF CCP ....

"There was a temporary problem downloading the required files".
Seriously CCP, seriously.
I guess this is karma paying back all of us who missed the boot.ini issue.
I am not normally one to flame (and the dude above who typed in all caps is just lolstupid), but honestly, Worst. Software. Deployment. Ever.
Why is it you guys are apparantly completely incapable of handling your patch distribution without MAJOR problems EVERY SINGLE TIME.

Well, the story goes on. I posted here on the first day the unusable patch was released and I can see from the forum that nothing appears to have changed. I am 63 years old and probably one of the older players in the game. I don't have the patience of some of you guys to try all of the work around suggested nor do I intend to as I think that the failure of this patch is the responsibility of the company and that they should FIX THE PROBLEM unless their intention is to encourage the purchase of the boxed issue. If they lose a few thousand players as a result of this they will soon be replaced by others and if they keep them for a year until the next patch fails they will still have reaped a windfall. So......I am now trying to download the full version and if that does not work.......hasta la byebye eve.

To lao tsu In what way am I stupid ??? Apparantly U also have upgrade problems ...Hu ??? I DONT HAVE SO MUCH TIME TO SPEND THAT I CAN THROW AWAY 48 HOURS FOR NOTHING ( cause i still am incapable of USING ... what i PAY for and the actual MONEY WORTH of THAT TIME .. had I used it for MY WORK runs into many 1000 dollars as im not some small time sucker having nothing else to do than playing on-line games)
To CCP
I am dead tired of the ARROGANCE of the EVE ONLINE OWNERS
SOLUTION ... which I reccomend anyone who wants to spend his/ hers time in a satisfying way and continue playing EVE:
BUY the GAME VERSION in HARD COPY from ATARI according to NEWS it should be out shortly ... this month THATS what I will do ...in stead of wasting my time on dealing with what appears to be impossible and a non-repsonsive incompetent counterpart: CCP !!!

Good sound advice and it may or may not work.... which is precisly why I am not even going to bother trying. I pay CCP to play thier game which I enjoy so much I have three accounts, I do not expect to have to "work" at getting the patch to download and feck about getting it to run.
I just want one file I can download at a reasonably faster speed than the 56KB that it seems to be throttled at, like in the old days, click link for patch, download patch, run exe file job done.
Been trying to get the damn thing downloaded now since Tuesday, the cynicle side of me keeps telling me that this is CCP's way of making us buy the boxed retail version.
Been playing this game since day one and have never had this much hassle before, even when the game was rolled back once was nothing compared to this.
Please CCP, get a single file sorted out that can be sucked down from a nice fast FTP site.
BTW just noticed the latest attempt to downlod the client has failed again... from work where we have an incredibly fast tinternet connection

Edited by: Glitch Ambrose on 12/03/2009 16:52:28 Come on CCP, 2 days now and still no solution. I think it's simple. There are people logged on, so obviously everyone didn't get corrupted files. So, just go back to whatever source copy you have that works. Make a "zip" file. Forget all the CRC stuff you put in. And give us the files. Sounds simple, right?
Also did you check to see if this is happening in only a certain region? If so, which server serviced that region? Re-upload a working installer to that server. Sounds simple again, right?
Better yet, give us the addresses of ALL the mirrors and let us choose which server to download from. I would download from a server on the moon if I knew the file would work for a change. So, far I have tried 10 times and nothing.
I tried to delete the old directory, nothing. I tried a complete reinstall, nothing. I tried to install an older version and update it again, nothing. I tried to directly decompress the files with 7z, it didn't work, but I did find out something that should help.
It seems that the culprit is a list of 13 files that are corrupt. When decompressed I got an error message and empty files which caused the program to crash right after the splash screen. There was no way to decompress these files separately that I could find due to the error messages. If you just zip these 13 files I suspect I should be up and running, provided the Checksums donÆt become an issue.
The 13 files are: resDX9.stuff resDX9Amarr.stuff resDX9AmarrShips.stuff resDX9AmarrStations.stuff resDX9AmarrT3Ships.stuff resDX9AsteroidStations.stuff resDX9BattleStations.stuff resDX9BuildingStructures.stuff resDX9Caldari.stuff resDX9CaldariShips.stuff resDX9CaldariStations.stuff resDX9CaldariT3Ships.stuff resDX9Defenses.stuff

You only need to patch one client :)
Once you have one working client just copy the installation folder across your network then. I've been playing for five years and I've copied the Eve folder from machine to machine dozens of times. You might lose some settings in the process (like BM folders) but the client will run. -- (Sarcastic mission running veteran, 4+ years)

I've been looking at the new visual effects, and must say I am impressed...
However, there seems to be an issue with the animation sequencing or something, as they'll seem to abruptly go between looking barely active to fully active. If this is a reactionary thing to, say, weapon impacts or such, I suppose I could understand, but it just seems a bit too 'jerky'.
This isn't a priority, of course... it's a very cosmetic feature compared to the problems some people have been having with the skill queues, sounds, and crashes near gates for whatever reason... but it should still be on the list to be fixed somewhere down the line.
Also, I recommend for future reference that maybe the player base's computer builds should be surveyed in the future before major decisions on requirements limitations are made? I know Valve does this every now and then to update their 'average gamer' test machines, and keep track of the info for public knowledge.. I really do now wonder how many EVE players really did rely on Intel Integrated Graphics to run their EVE client! ---- "Sounds like a bad case of pikal envy, if you ask me."

I've done this sort of thing as well, but you should also copy the directories in the Documents and Settings or Users directory around, as well. Those are probably where the BM folders are stored, too. ---- "Sounds like a bad case of pikal envy, if you ask me."

Hi Ive got the patches and installed them and was playing earlier today without problems. The problem I have now is that I can't get back into the game, I get stuck on the entering game as ...... screen after the character selection till it lags out and dumps me back at the selection screen. This has been goin on all afternoon and I've tried it on 2 pcs. My character is in a very quiet system in black rise and so I don't expect that that is the problem. I just want to know if this is a recognised issue or if there is some other problem. Like I say, I was in earlier today without issues and I'm sure your servers are very busy but it's been going on all afternoon and no-one else I have spoken to has the same problem. Some info would be great as to what is going on.

No it will not because the problem is that the patcher the loader and the client of apocrypha use the same procedure to connect to the server and the firewall will not allow it. I'm not going to change my firewall as long as Aprocrypha is the only program in 7 years not to work with it.

THANK U ! " annoing Amarr Viziam " ! ... following Ur advice I actually at last succeeded in installing the full client on my PC ... a BIG STEP in the right direction ! STILL ... i cant log in ... on the log in screen i note that the status of Tranquility server is described as "UNKNOWN " ... equally i get the following error message when attempting to log in : " Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong."
Anyone knows what I eventually could do to " fix " this ?
Bsides of this ..Ill buy the boxed version of the game as soon as possible ... then i do not have to spend 2 1/2 days on achieving more or less nothing and avoid having to deal with CCP at all ... a great benefit .. in my opinion ! AGAIN .. thank U " " annoing Amarr Viziam " .... and SHAME on CCP !! Ulf Raben

1) Buying the boxed version doesn't help. It was assembled when they were only halfway through assembling Apocrypha, and has the latest and greatest version of Quantum Rise aka 75883. It'd only start you all over again with this patching nonsense.
2) Update on my situation. Running Classic. Using the auto patch files CCP uploaded only results in "Expected Premium Found Classic. Please download a different patch" error message. STILL no response to petition [mass replies of hey we finally posted the auto-patch files to the website, go use those rather than make us do our job"]. BUT!!! Today just as I was about to buckle and give up and do a fresh install of new premium build that may or may not work on my computer I decided to try logging in one last time. And suddenly for the first time ever the game's auto patcher actually engaged. DL'ing 1.9Gig at abt 900KB/s; estimated dl time another 40 mins. I'll update to let you know if this leads anywhere, or just another false hope.

Originally by: Kiojiro Ive downloaded the 1.98GB full version, starting from 0. The problem I seem to be having is that I don't have enought space on my C: drive, so I download to the D:, however when the extraction begins it doesnt give me the option to specify a folder, so it tries to extract the in the C: drive. Is there any way that I can specify what folder to extract to?
Any help would be appreciated,
Short version ... the extraction will basically go into whatever file you have your system tempdir (temporary directory) value set to. How you set it is probably a function of which operating system you're running ...

Ahh CCP.
If I didn't love your game so much, I'd be tempted to hunt you all down right now.
So the results of the miraculous 'now it will patch!' story: Download ran fine. Extraction Error, with the oh so ever useless message of "Extraction Error. There has been an error in extraction. Please try manual patch"
Which I'd love to except for 2 things. The patching did get far enough to replace EVE.exe, just nothing else AND of the 12GB I had free on my HDD, the 1.9GB patch somehow took up 11.97GB so that now I have 27MB free and not enough room to extract anything from the manual patch.
Uninstalling and reinstalling from brand new build now.
Note to CCP: Consider actyaully developing a PATCH rather than requiring hundreds of your customers to completely reinstall everytime you want to show off new shinies. Cause it's getting realllly old and Really FRUSTRATING!

Welp, voting with my feet, unsubscribed. I'll consider resubscribing after they finally get the game to a stable, playable state. If the damn game won't even get to the login screen (after uninstalling completely and reinstalling from scratch, kiss my BMs good bye) I don't see the point in paying to not be able to play. Good timing, my renewal would have hit in just a few days.
Have fun!
And no, you can't have my stuff.

Well, my fifth install of the game and attempt to patch it failed. If I try to download the final build (84244) as a complete installer, I can't even launch the game; I will get the splash screen, then it says "CCP.exe has failed".
This is a train wreck of a patch and it doesn't look like I'll be renewing my membership next week.

Originally by: Kaigiene Report I see I am not the only one having problems. Also, is an upgraded video card required for this? I saw someone earlier saying they got the client downloaded but found out that they couldn't play because their card didn't support shader 2? I am going to wait til Friday to try and download again unless someone stops me from wasting my time. I was going to renew my subscription for the next year. Good thing you launched this now because if it doesn't work for me Friday, I am Ghandi like the Mahatma! Awesome game! So awesome no one can play it lol! :)
Yeah that was me with the problem, anyone have a solution to being able to run the new graphics??? it just wont let me even open the starter page after a successful DL, i was so excited and all to see what the new game was like and to fight some real npc opponents , why ccp why did you do this, keep the old graphics for those of us who cant use the 'premium' graphics
I don't come by the forums that much so I didn't realize that my video card is no longer supported. There's a whole blog about it lower in these forums stickied.
"Step 1: In Apocrypha, March 10th, we discontinue support for ShaderModel 1, making ShaderModel 2 (GeForce FX (5 series) or ATi R300 series cards or compatible) the minimum requirement and discontinue the "Classic client" version of EVE, replacing it with "Premium Lite"
Step 2: In the Winter Expansion 2009 we are considering discontinuing support for ShaderModel 2 and make the minimum specification ShaderModel 3(GeForce 6 class cards or ATi x1300 or compatible)"
I have GeForce 3 so obviously I need to get a whole new PC before I can play again. Doesn't help that I got laid off the same day so I can't afford that new PC anymore. (I was playing off of timecards bought with isk starting last month).

Old news I guess, but I'm always greeted with a "your patch is corrupted" message after I download patch. I'm running a mac, and am kinda really ****ed. If I can't get EVE running by the end this weekend, I'm not renewing.
If anyone knows how to solve this issue for the mac, lemme know please.
Thanks a bunch.

The funny thing about going cold turkey is you realize how interesting the rest of the world is. Having been forced to stop playing by the size of the patch, I have been having fun in other ways.
7 hours to download the patch if you have the recommended internet connection. This is not reasonable. For those of us with less than 24/7 access to internet, it is worse.
Enough grumbling, there is really only one thing I can do that CCP will hear. As the previous poster stated, if it is not working by the weekend, I will cancel my account. I understand the patch worked for 1000's, but I expect some service for my money and I am not getting it.
Fallout, put a link to a old style patch on a server that will download it. Let us use file accelerators, don't make us download a small thing to download a second larger thing. One self installing file that has everything it needs in one place.

Downloaded the patch yesterday, it needed me to click on retry 12 times then it unpacked without issues, tried to install and claimed that my EVE client was the wrong version (it was not I am quite sure of that )
Downloading the full install caused no issues and installed without issues... though I have not yet seen the new roids I am looking forward to having a looksy this weekend. ------------------------------------------- Should you disagree with me, well I guess that is because I disagree with you. If you have a problem with that please feel free not to tell me. |

Hi, Don't flame me if this is wrong place!
Applied patch but now when I log in my character portrait screens are blank so I can't select any characters.
Checked my character details on the account screen online and all seems well.
Is there an obvious answer to this? All worked fine before the patch.
Any help would be greatly appreciated and rewarded with isk!

Exactly the same here. What is going on? Been trying to dl the patch - "Temporary Error". For two days. Uninstalled game right now, have to download a ****ty autodownloader instead of an exe - "temporary error". So I simply CAN NOT EVEN DOWNLOAD the game I am paying for, in full, on two accounts. Do I get a refund at least? And why is there no download option for a full exe or a bittorrent download? How hard can it be?
edit: After clicking "retry" on the client setup for 20 times, I finally got redirected to the "fallback downloader" and am download the full exe now. Still: Why is there no option for it in the first place? Poor show.

Why am I surprised that the same people who thought it would be a 'good idea' to run a n+1 cluster on Microsoft Windows with 4GB of RAM each (then pretend it was mana from heaven when they moved to x64 omg > 4GB! Amazing!)
CANNOT F'ING MANAGE TO DELIVER A FILE. YOUR JOB: DELIVER A FILE. STATUS: YET ANOTHER FAILURE.
Download. Extract. REPEAT AFTER ME Download. Extract. Are you f'ing kidding me?
I tell ya CCP, you have some very talented folks on board that is clear by the gaming engine; but your DELIVERY PROCESS SUCKS DONKEY CAWLK and it always has. GET OFF YOUR ASHES and hire someone who knows what the hell they are doing.
Download. Extract. Just a bit too much for your delivery team to handle i guess.

So THREE DAYS AFTER the patch CCP finally admits to having spread Bullsh** around when they kept talking about Premium Lite. Only now do they admit there is no Premium Lite client, and that everyone has to install Premium -- after months of telling us that Classic Content players would be upgraded to Premium Lite.
And yet, their own patch REFUSES to acknowledge Classic Content Clients and immediately closes when it sees Classic Content; rather than upgrading Classic to the new Premium. Nor did they at any point TELL THE COMMUNITY this was the case.
This has been quite simply the most botched, mismanaged, bass ackwards patch and release scenario I have seen -- and I've dealt with SOE for years, so that's saying something!
Short answer (that they should have announced at the very least the day before the patch): If you had Classic Content Client you must uninstall and install the brand new premium build (which they also failed to post until much later). Tweak the settings on your own time, cause CCP don't give a d**n. That's Premium Lite. And if your petition doesn't affect them getting their money (i.e. Billing category) don't expect an answer this week.
This is not the CCP I was used to and recommended to my friends. Rest assured I won't be recommending CCP or EVE anymore.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I've been getting frustrated by this downloading business.
I've got the Premium Installer hooked up, all nice and fancy. It works just fine until it gets to the downloading portion of the Wizard. Then it presumes to lock up and refuse to do anything. I thought it was just slow, so I left it to download for two days straight. Nope, no status or download detail thing. It just locks up where it shows you the pretty Raven and says it's installing. Anyone else with this issue?

Well... at least SOME of you have been able to even SEE your game. I click my cute little EVE icon and the splash screen literally flasshes for half a second and poof... nada.
I've also suddenly lost almost 12g of my hardrive and to top it all off my VCard is no longer supported even AFTER us classic users could use some sort of "P-Lite" version so we didnt have to shell out cash we dont have for a video card the only seem to need for EVE (I left SOE games for just this reason). Oh, this doesnt top it off... my subscription JUST got paid YESTERDAY for 3 more months.. all this after being away for Uncle Sam for a few weeks.... nice welcome home.
How long's EVE been out? Almost 5 years? Thats about right for the crap to hit the fan for an online game company.
See ya'll... flame me if you wish, I wont be back. SO to quote someone famous, "so you can just float and sputter".

No offense but these idiotic "it's easy just uninstall/reinstall" 'workarounds' people post are infantile. Of course a net-new install is going to work, but do i want to spend all the friggn time customizing my client (AGAIN thanks incompetent CCP software delivery) and f'ing around with b.s. like these forums when the most simple task of downloading and writing files remains a gigantic puzzle to CCP?
Screw that uninstall crap. CCP needs to fix the UPGRADE.
10 pages and not a peep since the original post. This thread is referenced elsewhere as the "official" thread for download and patching problems. I can only hope CCP's silence is out of abject shame that they've come to the realization software delivery is a task that is simply beyond their capabilities. F'ing pathetic.

This happens to many people. I've had to re-do all my colours, overview settings etc pretty much every major patch going back to Exodus 4.5 years ago. Yeah it's annoying, but often new options are added with each patch so you'd probably want to be making changes to your existing settings anyway.
So no offense, but harden up.

I have so-far downloaded the full client 11 (yes ELEVEN!!!!!) times now.
9 times I downloaded from ccp's servers and every time I ended up with a corrupt download.
2 times I downloaded from a mirror that had nothing to do with CCP that I found in these forums. Guess what? Both these downloads were perfect. (I downloaded the second time to make sure it was not a fluke)
My conclusion is use a mirror if you can find one as CCP's server is borked. Sorry, I was going to give a link to a mirror but someone seems to have deleted the threads.

Harden up, hah. Yeah it's been this way since DAY 1 of patching EVE, i get it, and I've done it. I'm "up to the task" and hard enough for task, as I have been every release that required it but it shouldn't be that way if you know how to deploy software properly, and that's my point, Hardy McHardinpants. Your 'well i'll just suck it up because they suck, that's the right thing to do' attitude is part of the problem, not the solution. "harden up" to the fact that this is trivial work with respect to software delivery and they screw it up, every time, without exception, at our expense.
Whatever , i figured out a way around the uninstall 'workaround' and managed to get the update working through piecing together the craptacular updates and I'm back in now. And thankfully for all involved also out of these forums until the next epic CCP "deployment"
But you're right, it's a step up from hosing people's PC's so I guess it's a matter of just accepting that they're a cut rate deployment team with good game designers and developers. Remind me not to hire you.

I finally got my "Windows" client to work. I am posting this to help everyone else out, because being away from the game for 3 days of corrupted downloads was just plain bogus. The "Windows" bit torrent actually worked me. The address is here:
http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/EVE_Premium_Setup_84244_m.exe-downloader.exe
Only problem is that the normal downloads where taking me about an hour. The bit torrent is a much much slower download, coming in at about 10 hours. Just a heads up, but it worked.
Good Luck to All.

1) i tryied the torrent downloader nothing that i have expected i expected it to be an actual torrent file not a client, ps: your client is useless. 2) http downloader sucks
i like downloaded 4 times with torrent downloader, no luck corrupted, ok, tryied like 3 times with http, useless, failed checksum, ok, this time it downloaded fine and passed checks, instaled fine when i start? Guess what..... CCP ExeFile has encountered a problwm and needs to close. We are sorry for an inconvinience.
pff, your servers are ****, ps, thx for the above link from piratebay i'l try that at least its a torrent and i can use my torrent client with error checking meaning if one part is corrupt i dont have to download the whokle 1.9 gig again.
AGAIN: CCP, YOU ARE USELESS BUNCH OF .......... I sometimes wonder what am i paying for, and why that much.

Might have a solution to the issue of the ExeFile crashinmg on start of eve online, when you have the file (EVE_Premium_Setup_84244_m.exe) DO NOT i repeat DO NOT run it, instead use winzip or winrar to open it, you will see 2 files. one is 7zip one is exe, extract both into one folder then run the exe file that you have extracted. That is of course if you manage to get the file in one piece, i downloaded it from the piratebay, there was like 1.37mb discarded, so you see that just 1.37mb will screw up whole download if you dont use proper torrent client. This should help some of you.

to round up the flaming i might add some more:
CCP, try to do something called 'standard'! When downloading a TEMPORARY file, this one belongs to the TEMP folder (ever heard of it?), not in "Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\CCP\EVE\Downloads" where it has nothing to do! Or at least make it selectable!
I don't know how you handle this at your location, but the rest of the world, and even Microsoft, uses the TEMP folder.
Guys, this is veeeeery poor programming.
BTW, not all players have 1.5 gig free on drive C:. That's where a relocated TEMP folder comes in handy.
Apologizing every time something goes wrong (and it does when it comes to EVE patching) is one thing, doing it right the next time is another. Obviously you stick to the first. People are bored of hearing apologies because you mess up the client patching every time and waste hours and hours into trying to download the patch.

I, like some others, am having a "splash and crash" problem since Apocrypha. Frankly, it feels like I've been taking it in the wormhole for the last day-and-a-half.
Initial patch = great, logged in for a quick check Wed night = seemed okay. 2 days later Friday night - try to sign in - splash screen pops up, then goes away, no log in screen ever appears. I can see Eve working on my task manager when it's booting up, but then the program seems to quit.
Did total Eve reload per this: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1020574
No luck. Same issue of Splash and Crash.
Ran Log Server (which keeps running in the background long after Eve splashes and crashes), but seems to be in some sort of loop.
Read Log Server messages. I see a red stop sign (EVE Client version 6.1 build 84244 started 03/14/2009 0:22:07) and a skull and crossbones (EVE Client version 6.1 build 84244 started 03/14/2009 0:22:07). Those can't be good.
A few lines later in the log led me to a Eve forum post from a while ago:
***
Edited by: Sheila Chandra on 18/08/2007 17:24:02 GOT IT !!!!
It was the missing arialuni.ttf. I downloaded it from the internet and installed, now its working.
Originally by: Sheila Chandra --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Failed to start service fonts (bin\blue.dll) Probably just a font file missing that is used in the launchpad?? One line above it tries to open "arialuni.ttf", i looked into windows/fonts but couldnt find the file there. This error occurs 3 times in the log.
***
I checked my LogServer messages from 2 different "splash and crashes" and this is what I found in both (after the stop signs and skeleton symbols):
Open C:\WINDOWS\Fonts/arialuni.ttf Found fallbackfont: C:\WINDOWS\Fonts/arialuni.ttf Open C:\WINDOWS\Fonts/arialuni.ttc Service fonts required 0.007 seconds to startup
Then the logs just seem to loop.
I looked in my C:\Windows\Fonts - I found the arialuni.ttf, but didn't see a arialuni.ttc . Thought that if I could find and install an arial unicode.ttc font file, I could fix the issue.
Did an internet search and seems I can't find a arialuni.ttc (Arial Unicode TrueType Compressed Font).
Does this kind of file exist? Will this fix my problem? Am I barking up the wrong tree? Will I ever see wormhole space?
Thanks in advance for any help.

I wonder if the real culprit of the splash and crash is this security update from microsoft (I have auto-updates set to yes). I was successful signing into Eve at first. These 3 auto-security updates came March 11. They seem to be server related. Maybe another piece of the puzzle. I dunno - just a shot in the dark.

*note to CCP Reader* call someone from EA Games or Blizzard... their patching software is top notch and being that EA (for the WAR game) was able to purchase the software from Blizzard (from their WoW game) they might be interested in selling it to yall too *End not to CCP Reader*
so ive decided to take a little break from EvE to go try my hand at Warhammer Online. hopefully they will fix the patching software soon... my skill stoped training
wasted me 15 days of game time

Looking at the numbers of players on the servers last night, it is clear that the patch has worked for most people. Sadly, I remain one of those it does not work for, apparently due to the size of the download needed to patch. Obviously, if I cannot play, I am not going to pay.
I do suggest the following to CCP. Consider smaller, more frequent upgrades. Recognizing that a lot of publicity goes with new releases, try pushing out a lot of the code in the weeks before, but do not activate it. When the big day comes, the actual download is smaller, avoiding some of this sort of problem. Obviously you have done the math and know that an expansion gets you more new players than you lose, so it is only logical to do it. However, it would be great to lose less customers.
Second, offer a clearly documented alternative to using the client to download the patch. You are going to get people it does not work for and they are going to want to do something about it. Make it easier for us.
A seven hour download at the 56 bit connection you suggest in the specs is too damn big.

This is really getting ridiculous. After I have downloaded the whole 1.9 GB package for about 8 times, only to find out it failed the CRC again, I finally managed to download it via torrent an was able to successfully install it.
Then I start a mission and crash to desktop as soon as I get locked on, so I finish the mission on my Mac (first install a success over there, absolutely no problem with the Mac client). Back to the PC to change to the salvage vessel - crash! I decide to delete the install dir, all registry entries and all user preferences for EVE and to start from scratch, and not the very install that worked yesterday gives me a CRC fail too! *insert swearword here*
I don't even want to know how many GB of download I've wasted... It is almost 1 week now, when will CCP be able to give us a working download?

Patch failed so I went with full install. Well it took only 22 hrs to download the full install. WHAT A FRIGGIN JOKE! C'MON CCP: IT'S 2009, not 1980! GET WITH THE PROGRAM! USE A DL mechanism that is capable of dividing up this huge download so we don't have to start all over in case of a failure for whatever reason during DL! I DL at 4-24KB/sec using an aircard. Get a mirror site up or something! Why is it taking so long to get a workaround for DL'ing???? Don't you guys have any fallback plans in case of issues? What is plan B? Ignore the minority of folks who have DL issues and can't play, but still pay??? Took me 2 days to finally get the game up and running only to find that the graphics are behaving very very weird. Most objects seem to have a bunch of thick lines coming out of them. These lines have a tendency to fill up the entire screen and I can't see any object. I've played with the graphic settings (beleive me, hours were spent trying this and that) The only thing that seems to somewhat work is to set shader LOW and Texture HIGH and leave almost all of the boxes unchecked. My system obviously meets the standards required, so why do I have these issues after the DL? I used to be able to run up to 3 clients on my pc, now I can only run 1, and thats not even working properly. And I don't want to spend another 24 hours DL'ing the game and let it hog my pc. I updated my video drivers and reinstalled directx9.0c and no significant change was seen. I think the programmers did a great job with the game, I just wish I could play it like I was able to before the patch. SO PLEASE DO SOMETHING TO FIX THE ISSUES. FOREMOST LET US KNOW YOU CARE BY ACKNOWLEDGING THE ISSUES AND POSTING SOMETHING ON YOUR FORUM INDICATING WHAT THE PLANS ARE TO RESOLVE THE DL ISSUES.
I know someone is reading these forums because of some blocking that has occured by the moderator, so why not just post what the plans are to resolve the issue???

I cant beleaved i fooled myself into thinking the 9th full download would work, i took the guys advice from the top of the page and once again crc crud error.
CCP how's about talking to us, so lets say u give us free gametime then what about the 18GB/s of my monthly allowence? what about compensation for my time thats been wasted? hows about handing over isk that i might have made in game if i was to get that far?
But once again im talking to a brick wall, thanks CCP.

Edited by: MtnDew on 15/03/2009 15:55:25 KAIGIENE, as soon as the movie starts, press escape. This will bypass the movie and hopefully allow you to do what you need to do.
good luck bro,,,may the force be with you...
MtnDew :)
BTW - I think the movie gives anyone a really good idea right off the bat if there pc will be able to handle the game or not.... i do not have high hopes for you Kaigiene...did you look at the minumun required specs listed for the new version? Did your pc meet or exceed the specs?...again, if you isues playing the movie, it might be time to consider a new pc or upgrading your existing one.

no i cant even get a chance to click the movie cos it says i do not have the minimum spec required to run shadow 2 graphics, i was hoping there is something in the properties file that will make it not load the movie before i click it...other than that its just the same warning as before your system does not have the minimum ect ect. As for a new pc cant afford to buy a new one. Especially in recession times when work is scarce and i am working only part time. It all equals to no money to buy a new system to play eve....but then again why would CCP not understand that people do not have the money to buy new hardware or new appliances to run their game. Go back to the old graphics and LET ME BACK IN.... I WANNA BE SHOOTING PPL YARRRARRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

You need to see the other thread stickied in these forums about Shader2 and read the blog. Basically, your video card is too old to play the game. I'm in the same situation. Card is too old - computer is too old for newer cards (I have 7 year old GeForce 3, 512M ram, 1.4 GHz cpu). Yes, I need a new system to play the game, but I am now unemployed since last Wednesday so it's hard to justify spending the money for a new machine.

That 7zip method didnt work for me. What did work was stealing my brothers laptop which had no eve resiue on the hd. I installed the game there, uninstalled it on my computer, I then shared the game on the network and downloaded to my computer (the installed files, not the installer) This works and I'm in the game 7 days after the patch came out.

I too have had problems downloading the new client; trying all the suggested work-arounds and being very annoyed with CCP for keeping quiet on this issue as if it didn't matter. However after trying for the last 6 days to use the self-exploding exe (and getting too many checksum errors) I tried using a different ethernet cable. The client downloaded and installed first time. Not saying this will help everyone but it will be yet another thing to try. Best of luck to all still trying.

Edited by: Anton Stemenoff on 17/03/2009 11:34:31 Dear CCP, please issue (or inform where to find) a standalone patch/full game client to be picked up , recorded on the DVD and transferred to other people machines, those who has limited Internet connection bandwith or has limited downloaded data amount. The problem is, that some of the providers LIMITS THE MAXIMUM MONTHLY DOWNLOAD AMOUNT to i.e. 4GB, which 1,9GB patch is half of. I am asking for my friend, who wants to play, but he has no other option as shi**y mobile operator, limiting the quota.

Try http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/EVE_Premium_Setup_84244_m.exe. If you get bad bandwidth or lots of disconnects, try using different IPs. The used host resolves to at least 6 different IPs, depending on where you are and what DNS service you're using.

So I downloaded the full client last week after the Aprocrypha release, all working fine. After today's patch it is apparent that autopatching does not run. At all.
I have looked on the patches list but it lists the latest one as the 84244 build. Any idea where to get the patch?

It has. Those of us with the autopatcher that doesn't work are seeing an old version of that manual patch page. I'm pretty certain that this out of date info is also the reason the autopatcher doesn't work - it already thinks we have the latest version!
You can prove it by going to Google translate and getting it to translate the patch page from some foreign language back to english. (Yes I know it's in English to start with, I just want to see the version Google is seeing rather than the version we see direct).
Patch page via Google Translate
You'll find the patch magically appears.

Originally by: Donsabai I will try to be the 50 year old voice of reason here....
Patches can be screwy with new deployment, that is a given. I would hope CCP would learn from this deployment fiasco and seed multiple downloads across many, many servers including bit torrent and the other suggestions. Waiting almost 10 hours to download 3 times to have all fail for "verification" is a frustration I will leave to your Nordic imagination.
Please provide a suitable fix/patch for your customer base...we have waited long and have supported you in a tough economy.
Thank you.
^ This hits the nail on the head. Been playing Eve for a number of years. Seen many dodgy patch releases. But this one has pretty much topped all of them. 1.9Gb at 290k/sec is what I'm getting and this is my 2nd attempt. No idea if it's gonna work or fail. Thought I'd download the full client from scratch, but when I go to the downloads section it only seems to give me the PREMIUM version. Did I miss something or is there no CLASSIC version anymore?? |

I am absolutely nausious. I've been trying to download and install the latest build about 3 times a day since Apocrypha launched. Fortunately I have had decent connection speed the whole time (about 55 min download). The problem isn't downloading, but EVERY TIME during the extraction process (auto or manual) I get the same "crc failure at eve_client_premium_84244.7z.exe - file is corrupt" (or now 84609). The error message varies slightly depending whether auto-installing or manually extracting (Winrar or 7zip), but they all say the same thing....the files are bad.
I've read all of the suggestions here, tried them all plus some, my machine WELL exceeds the rquirements, I've downloaded files from close to a dozen mirrors....I am at a complete loss. I've submitted a petition end of launch date and havent heard from anyone, which sickens me more than the somewhat expected technical 'issues' of an expansion this big.
SOS....anyone....please.....

Same problem as others... last night's patch wouldn't autoload. Grabbed the latest patch from this website and it says I already have that build (the build number in the top left of the login screen certainly was the most updated version). Incompatible build error.
Download overnight and that's corrupted. Choose the manual version instead. So that's several gig of my quota gone on the first day of my billing cycle.
Also, weapon upgrades IV was due to complete 30 minutes ago, letting me set a longer skill while I go to work.
Is something like this a valid case for skills reimbursement?It's not much but I have a fairly detailed skillplan because right now I can't do anything with my new corp.. need the skills to be of use!

All I have to add to this is that I have been trying to get back in game since the release of the new patch. The 2 errors that I keep getting are a "check-sum" error, and "CRC failed in eveonline_84244.____" fill in the blank with either a manual patch, full build download, off line or on line download, etc. I have tried everything that has been suggested and so far non of them have worked.
I even bought the box set, but I had to re-install windows xp just to get the box set to install, and I had to use the /NCRC command line work around for the box set installer to run with out getting a "CRC failed in eveonline_84244.7z"
I now have a client installed, but it is build 74306. All "auto" updates and patches have failed with either a check sum error or the above CRC error. I am currently downloading my 5th or 6th attempt at getting this game to work, and that is just today.
The "online" patch update is giveing me this error:
Extracting evepremiumpatch74306-83913.exe Extracting EVEPREMIUM.5.20.74306-6.10.83913.RTP CRC failed in EVEPREMIUM.5.20.74306-6.10.83913.RTP
My computer specs are:
OS= XP Pro, SP2, Video card, was ATI X800 gt, now is a ATI X1650 Pro P4 @ 3.2GHz 2GB ram, Internet connection = cable. (comcast cable is the isp, and yes its american east coast provider)
I hope this is help full information. And I look forward to the day when I can play again.

Originally by: Necritis Terra I am absolutely nausious. I've been trying to download and install the latest build about 3 times a day since Apocrypha launched. Fortunately I have had decent connection speed the whole time (about 55 min download). The problem isn't downloading, but EVERY TIME during the extraction process (auto or manual) I get the same "crc failure at eve_client_premium_84244.7z.exe - file is corrupt" (or now 84609). The error message varies slightly depending whether auto-installing or manually extracting (Winrar or 7zip), but they all say the same thing....the files are bad.
I've read all of the suggestions here, tried them all plus some, my machine WELL exceeds the rquirements, I've downloaded files from close to a dozen mirrors....I am at a complete loss. I've submitted a petition end of launch date and havent heard from anyone, which sickens me more than the somewhat expected technical 'issues' of an expansion this big.
SOS....anyone....please.....
I given up after 9 full downloads and the same bull-poo, i renewed my gametime for 2 months from a short break - im a 2004 player. Lucky i have someone to skill for me, but im gonna get my money back for sure - this is ccp'no support dot com - ohh your petetions have been answered by a mass leaflet drop over your city - they dont email us anymore when u get a reply :(

Edited by: Fuhren on 18/03/2009 00:32:06 I've tried to autopatch with the client, and the download failed. I've gone to the Tranquility page under EVE Patches, selected my current build (82442), and clicked find patch. Clicking on the Windows link returned a 404. I've gone to the server status page with the little graphs and all those different builds, but they're broken too. I also did that translated from Dutch stuff, and the link on that page was broken.
So tell me, where can I go for this nice little 3.7mb update that has me doubting the organization I'm giving money? I don't mean to sound like a douche but seriously, this (and the dozens of other threads/replies exactly like this one) is [MENTALLY DEFICIENT]ed. It straight up should not happen.

Try this possible workaround. The new patch isnt included but it might autopatch properly after the above. It did for me.

Since my petition about this closed after the auto patcher f*d up my install, CCP has now had the unmittigated GALL to ask me to rate their CS response on a scale of 0-100 with space for comments. Not enough space mind you, but some. I had to edit it down quite a bit but I hope those who suffered through this debacle will find some solace in knowing that whoever reviews CS's performance will be reading the following:
Quote: The patch process was horribly handled, planned, and mismanaged. For months dev blogs touted that Classic Content users would "...be upgraded to our new Premium Lite client". CCP waited till 3days AFTER the patch to admit that no such client existed. The auto-patch was designed to immediately close if it detected Classic Content, and the kicker is CCP waiting till 2 days after the patch to post a new installer or patching files on their own website designated for such -- thus quite adroitly screwing any Classic Content users out of any means of upgrading. Knowing the enormous hassle users were having with the patch, cs continued to ignore the Patching section of petitions, and went so far as to point to the thread of users announcing how horribly the patch was done as the thread to find solutions in; a thread no dev GM or CSR visited in the 13 pages(!!!) since its start! This debacle is the single reason I will NOT be recommending CCP or EVE to any friends in the forseeable future!
To all those still suffering, I can only wish you the best of luck, and hope you too get a chance to rate CS on their performance in this our hour of need.

I believe this has something to do with eve being installed already on that computer and some registry files or some ****up is making it get a crc error (I believe this is related to me having only the Classic game installed previously and no premium content, can anyone confirm that you had only classic installe?)
I tried downloading the files about 20 times, deleting all files related to ccp. unzipping with the 7-zip program, downloading from autopatcher, downloading with torrent... All failed me.
(I had this problem on two computers on two separate connections which alredy had eve classic (not premium) graphics)
Solution!! ? 1. Grab another computer which has never had eve on it. 2. Download a fresh install on that computer. 3. Install the game on that computer. 4. Share the installed game over the network (c:\program files\ccp\eve or w/e) 5. Get that game over the network to your computer and put it in your preffered folder. 6. Change skills, online your offline pos's & empty your silos, tell everyone in corp about ccp being total ****wads at support.

I tried the Auto-patch on my Mac twice and both times it said 'verification failed' when it had finished downloading. However, last night I tried the Manual Patch and this morning it worked.
It selected the Premium patch, despite being on a Mac - and it looks as if it has better graphics than before. Does this mean that the Mac can now run the better quality graphics now and not just the PC?

The CRC errors I was getting dissapered when I bought new memory and just installed that with my new/clean install of windows xp. I did not run windows update at all, just installed the new memory and started to download a client. It worked first time around.
I don't know if this will work for every one, but perhaps it will.

Yes, dont bother. CCP doesnt give a toss whether you play or not, doesnt care whether the install works for you or not, doesnt care to find a solution. CCP's advice to all players suffering patch day problems is to open a WoW account -- im being serious, they really dont care

Edited by: schwar2ss on 26/03/2009 18:20:45 For those of you who have the crc error: reinstall client into another location, launch the client to see if everything is allright. Next, take the common.ini and the libs/stdlib.ccp from the working copy and place them into your old eve installation. Restart your rig, mine started but minimized the client instantaneous without reboot. After reboot: Profit!
Hope it helps.

Ok same **** as last patch again for me:
There was an unexpected error while retrieving patch status:
Unable to download file o2/evepremiumpatch84609-85476.exe from the server. Error: [Errno socket error] (11001, 'getaddrinfo failed', 'thread::getaddrinfo failed with error 11001: Der angegebene Host ist unbekannt.\r\n')
And every page on http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/ I try to access yields a server not found error for me. In fact I cannot even ping that site. What gives? Is it because I am in germany or something? It is NOT my firewall at any rate... And everything else on the internet seems to work perfectly fine. And if you are reading this, you have arrived at the signature without noticing...

For the love of god..... Normall I'm a well tempered individual, but this is getting out of hand. I have completely reinstalled the entire client after having the same patch problems I had when Apochrypha was released. The last time, a complete reinstall made it work. Now a complete reinstall and clicking on EVE icon gives me some garbled error message ... 'CCP ExeFile has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvience'..... ptff.
I don't know the first thing about program code (and shouldn't have to in order to play a game I pay for), so I have no idea what I'm looking at when I click 'To see what data this error report contains, click here' so no real help there.
Is there a fix for this crap? Or do I take my chances and reinstall the client yet again? I'm guessing the same problem will pop up if I do.

I've tried to download the client for windows and mac several times now. Using the BITS client for windows, the autopatcher for my existing install on windows and mac (pre apocrypha), downloading the full client from the fallback download pages, downloading the client from eve-files. Every single time either the file fails verification, the installer craps out with a CRC error, the installer is corrupted, whatever. I'm honestly getting sick and tired of downloading. I must've downloaded around 20GB by now, for non working updaters/full installers. This is wasting my time and my bandwidth, as well as skilltraining time for 2 characters. If I can't get this resolved in a reasonable manner, ie. without wasting hours and loads of bandwidth again, I don't see what other option I have besides just letting my account expire. Should I bug report this? If so, what is there to bug report besides what I've already mentioned here?
If anyone has any suggestions as to what else I can try, I'd be more than happy to try it.

This is pathetic. I have a 3Gb cap, which has now clocked 15Gb. Needless to say i have been throttled into downloading at ~7000B/s (not Kb). I've tried numerous times (obviously, with that cap), but each time it fails with the CRC message. CCP, split the file up please and supply a torrent, so we can download just broken segments again instead of having to try and get the entire install everytime. This level of client support is absolutely mind-numbing.
/me regrets paying annual subscription. I won't make that mistake again!!

I begin to think that CCP is NOT responsible of the data corruption on the offline full client.
I wanted to compressed my working EVE folder to share for everyone who had problems with the installer.
I use 7-Zip, like CCP, version 4.65.
But before uploading, I made a CRC test of the 2Gb compressed file, just in case of...
Corrupted.
One ****ing file inside is corrupted.
I tried with multi-threading ON (Core2Duo) > Corrupted I tried with multi-threading OFF > NO corrupted, file is fine.
I don't think that this is a local problem, but a real serious problem of the 7Z engine in the compression process, or CCP wouldn't share a corrupted file too.
I will send a bug report to 7-Zip dev after some more tests.

Pardon me for mentioning, but if I get a file FROM CCP, then they are responsible for it. If they didn't QA it properly and hosted out a corrupt file, it doesn't matter that they didn't cause the corruption in the first place, as they still caused said file to be introduced to my machine.
Love to have 3 1.9 GB downloads complete and FAIL, so now i'll just wait before attempting again. Thankfully I still have plenty of other games installed and will continue to do so...until CCP proves they can consistently patch their own gorramn game correctly. Sadly, they have not. And its been how many years?

Indeed you are right, they SHOULD test it.
The patch, at least. If it didn't screw my EvE installation, I wouldn't have to download the full installer 5 times, and fail
Now that I am sure of this bug, I have to check most of my archive files to find any other corruption and reduce data loss Hopefully, it seems that it concerns ONLY very large archive files, like the 2Gb of Eve Online...

Well... In fact it is more simple. One of the two sticks of my 4Gb RAM, bought 2 months ago, is already defective.
This explains everything. Failed download, failed installation, failed compression...
Curiously, this didn't affect gaming sessions (EVE didn't crash, Dead Space either, etc...), developement, video watching, and browsing...
Dammit. I hate lose money for bad hardware, and be wrong by it.

Well, same if I corrected my hardware problem, I still have some corruption on the downloaded files from CCP servers.
My Debian server in OVH has the same problem (I tried to avoid my "crappy ISP").
I don't manage to download the SISI patch ATM.
As the CCP file are the ONLY ONE who has some corruptions when I download them, CCP is the problem.

I bought the actual retail box version of Apocrypha. I was very disappointed. The box disc is Quantum Rise build. Still have to go through all the issued downloading the patch. Not worth the price just to get the game card and disc. After installing QR, I then attempted to download the patch. After 5 hours it finished, only to have it be corrupted. Have to remove all the data and install completely over again.
All I can say is I'm very disappointed. Apocrypha should have been in the box. I'm not normally critical but this oversight is almost false advertising and at the very least a rip off to those that were encouraged to purchase the game to get the complete Apocrypha build. So here I go, 6 more hours of installing and downloading with a great hope to not have it corrupt at completion.

I will never by another retail box from CCP again. The box said Apocrypha, got Quantum Rise. Seems like CCP was just going for a dash for cash. My faith in their retail ability and coordination is broken. Unacceptable.

I'm in again, and let me tell you it wasn't easy, but it is possible.
The initial idea was borrowed from a couple of other posts and caused largely by 40+ failed downloads due to CRC checksum errors; so from the bottom of my heart, thank you for insulting my intelligence and forcing me to think.
Although the method below worked for me, it might not work for anyone else and I am sorry if it leads you on a wild goose chase.
My platform:
Case: HP Pavilion dv6810us laptop Processor: AMD Turion64x2 (dual core) Video: Factory Nvidia gaphics card, with latest drivers. OS: 32bit Windows XP SP3 Direct X: The latest drivers, which are compatible with my hardware; in other words, I downloaded DirectX and let it tell me what I could install.
**NOTE** I'm not sure if it helps, but I also have the latest JRE (Java Runtime Engine) installed from http://www.sun.com. JRE is required by OpenOffice, which is the FREE version of the Microsoft Office Suite.
My method of directional chaos:
1. Downloaded steam client from http://www.steampowered.com
2. Downloaded Free trial eve-demo from http://www.steampowered.com
3. Installed steam and created account; (this is a must if you want to install or download any games using steam.)
3A. NOTE: This is a FREE trial version, NO EXTRA MONEY spent. :D
4. Installed Steam version of EVE client. Tried to launch EVE, using steam; splash screen would appear, pause and then close.
5. Downloaded Full offline EVE installer from http://www.eveonline/download saved installer to separate directory.
6. Downloaded and installed latest 7-zip program from http://www.7zip.com
-- Below here is where it gets hairy --
7. The EVE directory was still intact from my previous failed install attempt: "c:\program files\ccp\eve\"
7A. Copied the Steam-created EVE directory from "c:\program files\steam\steamapps\common\eve online\" and placed it here: "c:\program files\ccp\eve\"
7B. I tried to launch EVE using Steam and as I mentioned, the splash screen would appear, then pause and close. (very annoying)
7C. I navigated directly to the CCP EVE directory to try again: "c:\program files\ccp\eve\eve.exe"
8. At this point I received several error messages about missing or corrupt files. **This is where the Full offline EVE installer and 7zip come into the picture.**
8A. You will need to extract everything inside EVE_Premium_Setup_85476_m.exe to another folder. Using the 7zip program, I extracted to a folder of the same scheme: EVE_Premium_Setup_85476_m_run1
8B. Once the file is extracted, I navigated into folders and looked for the files mentioned in the error messages, such as: "Error, file not found: d3dx9_35.dll"
9. The aforementioned file is obviously a DirectX file (so says google.com). At any rate, the file was located inside on of the .cab files, which are located within the DirectX folder, or here: "c:\program files\ccp\eve\bin\directx\"
9A. I extracted the missing file to the directx folder and tried to launch eve again. This time I received more error messages, which said the same thing as the previous errors, and told me there were now extra files in the DirectX folder.
9B. I made a list of the corrupt and extra files. The corrupt files I replaced with ones from the full offline installer. The extra files, which caused errors were removed.
10. On the off chance that my Direct X setup was shot, I launched the Direct X setup tool, which is located here: "c:\program files\ccp\eve\bin\directx\dxsetup.exe"
10A. Direct X found errors, which had not been mentioned when I tried to laucnch EVE earlier; so I updated my Direct X, using it's recommended settings and tried once again to launch EVE.
11. There are two EVE launchers in the CCP\eve folder. I opted to use the default version, located here: "c:\program files\ccp\eve\eve.exe".
12. I launched EVE earlier, and can now play again.
13. I made a backup of the working EVE directory and it is now a 2.5G zip file.
I'll try to help as I can. Insert witty pun here |

Patch downloaded properly supposedly, went to install and it said that my install was corrupted to download the entire game again. Needless to say I don't really agree with that tactic, especially since this will be the third time I have had to download the entire game again because the patch didn't work as intended. CCP can we get a little help here, maybe an idea or a promise to figure out why YOUR patch installer is failing to patch a significant portion of YOUR game?
I run a Quad core CPU, Vista x64, nice ram, all the good stuff, works like a champ for any other game, cept for your patches. Anyone have any idea's?

I had checksum errors for every patch so far, and this is the only thing that has worked for me.
I download the full client and the patch via torrent. Install. If I get a check-sum error, I do a force re-check on the torrent and then try it again. If that fails, I reboot and try again and it usually works. I've kept a backup of Apocrypha 1.0 for this just in case. However, I don't see a torrent link for the current patch so I'm forced to re-download the patch manually (all 267 megs of it) every time it fails.
So if anyone has a torrent link to the patch (from 84244 to current), I would very much appreciate it!

Sound crackles when running two instances of EVE simultaneously (alt accounts).
gameplay runs as if it is missing frames, very choppy.
This has only happened since the new patch was installed.
All of my drivers are up to date.
I run windows xp pro, 4gb ram, 756mb graphics card, Creative SB X-FI extreme sound card.
These issues remain even when EVE is run in safe mode.
I put in a petition about the issue.

Currently (as of 5 hours ago) I am unable to start the game. The first window appears but is quickly closed and I am returned to my desktop. The taskbar shows Eve trying to run but it never gets to the Login screen. Would an admin PLEASE respond and let us know if things are being looked at and a possible ETA on repairs? Thanks!

After alot of head scratching and gigabytes of wasted downloads i finally found out what was my problem. This might help some of you guys as you seem to have problems that sound alot like mine.
Everything i tried failed. Closest i got was splash screen which was quickly followed by an error. Under the install i would notice several errors when unpacking that 7-something file. So i finally did what i should've done already - i yanked out the RAM, cleaned the goldplated terminals with an eraser and put them back in - firmly. I started the installer once again, and what do you know - no errors when unpacking. It installed without any further problems. Thing is, the PC had been acting abit slow at times, but no obvious errors that would lead me to think i had RAM issues. Now it purrs along fine...
So if you seem to run into alot of errors downloading, installing etc - try your RAM modules. It cant hurt! :)

Hello Invad Invader,
On one of my machines the exact same thing is happening. I don't know what to do. It looks like the game starts fine then it minimizes to the task bar and never loads. It says it is going but it never does start.
I really hate this patch. Everything was fine before this patch.

From the lack of feedback from CCP around these patching issues, it should be clear to everyone that CCP really don't give a toss whether you can get in or not as long as you keep paying your 14.95. <quote>From CCP Fallout: We are currently working with our download hosting partner and hope to have this issue resolved shortly. </quote> Where's the feedback Fallout?
I had to get the Apoc full install from a mate of mine, after the download kept failing due to crc errors. Now this new patch, 256mb is doing the exact same thing. I've tried both methods of download, built-in and the manual patch. Same problem.
In total i've lost about a week's worth of training across 3 accounts.
CCP, it seems you have a habit of screwing things up that were initially working and i won't be renewing my subscription once this batch of 3 annual subs run out. I've got better things to spend my money on. You lot are a disgrace to the online community.

Still having client installation problems, must have downloaded around 20gb of crap installs now.. ..raised a petition under installations and patching as follows recommend anyone with similar issues does the same:
"Since the auto-patch I get a message "Your Eve client installation may have modified, damaged, or corrupt files. Please re-install the game client Verification failed: "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\common.ini", crc:c9f3b09e, expected:590402d8.
I've tried downloading the full client but it reports a curruption.
I've tried downloading an offline full installation of the client but it stops downloading after about 120mb.
I've tried patching an old client (72263) but again it reports a curruption.
I currently have no way of getting a working client, and as a result since the patch release have no way of logging in.
I'm running Windows Vista SP1, Please advise.."

The ownership of patch/download errors on behalf of CCP is failtastic. The steam client is now also giving CRC errors, saying I need to download the full client.
Done, done and done.
I shouldn't have to troubleshoot a client that somehow passed the QA inspection.
You kids have fun podding one another. |

After 6 days of being unable to install the patch or client due to the patch corrupting the installation or the client download finishing before it should, which many other people have complained of, the bittorrent link is finally linking to the new client where before it linked to the previous old client. I have now been able to download the client and install the game sucsesfully. Hope any one else having problems with the patch/client can now download and install the game.

Lucky you.. I'm about to just say the hell with it and do a charge back on the 3 months I pre-paid for my 3 accounts. It's honestly just not worth the hassle of dealing with this same problem every time a patch is released.
It's been several days since the last patch and I still can't use the 3 account's I've paid for. It's the same story over and over and the people with this problem just get ignored.

Edited by: Leeroy Khan on 24/04/2009 00:28:58 Edited by: Leeroy Khan on 24/04/2009 00:28:11 I am just about done with CCP. My latest, fifth attempt to download the new client -- on a fresh windows XP Sp3 install (fair enough, it was time for a reinstall anyway) -- no antivirus running, just gave me yet another CRC error after a 3 hour download.
This is bull**** of the highest order. I download much larger files for work as a routine matter. I'm afraid the game, while lots of fun when it's working properly, is just not worth it to me to have to swallow this load from CCP every time they 'upgrade' the client. I don't think my time on EVE will survive CRC / corruption a sixth time around. A pity, not that anyone here or at CCP give two bits one way or the other.
I have filed a petition
Quote: Petition Body I am on my fifth download of the latest full client since the initial release of 1.1, twice have i tried your bittorrent method, and twice the direct download. I know better than to try the auto-installer so my downloads are of the 'offline install' client download. I have rebuilt my Windows XP SP3 system, with barely any software isntalled and no antivirus enabled. All the downloads complete normally, without error. All of the downloaded packages appear to be of the correct size. all of the downloaded packages fail with a file corruption error. My character has not been in training for over a week because of this. I feel I have been extraordinaly patient with CCP through many problematic upgrades (read: all of them) because I understand that sometimes stuff happens and you have to just get through it. Well. The same stuff keeps happening. Three years now. I don't want money back from you. What I want is for CCP to get their heads out of their backsides and show a modi****of competence in what the rest of the entire ****ing software industry managed to master well over two decades ago. Every ****ing update you manage to completely ****ing blow it. This is not rocket science. Please unceremoniously sack or fire of whatever the **** you call it - get the **** rid of the **** eating monkeys responsible for client packaging and deployment and hire talent that has a goddamn ****ing clue. This is not a spooky windows problem, this is not a CDN problem. This is a software company that can't master the most basic task of download + extract. Are you ****ing kidding me? Are you ****heads just having a good laugh at our expense every time you squeeze out a steaming pile of **** you call a "patch upgrade" ? When was the last time that worked right? DO NOT REBOOT (yeah that was a "windows issue" because nobody would have guessed naming a critical app file on a windows platform 'boot.ini' would be a bad idea. golf. clap.) Get your ****ing act together and show some balls in the ranks of your leadership and address this issue - AND NOT WITH THE SAME PEOPLE WHO KEEP ****ING IT UP. Whoever it is and whoevers sister they are nailing to keep their job it isn't woth it. Man the **** up and do it. Thanks for wasting just a little bit more of my time. Mother. ****.

If you're unable to download the full client or patches without errors we would recommend that you try going to another location and try to download the files or ask friend to try downloading the files for you. If you have a friend that plays EVE and has an updated client you can just copy his client install folder over your to update your client as well.
Best regards, GM Ocelot The EVE Online Customer Support Team
To which i have replied:
Quote: Thank you for the response. Since I last posted I've tried downloading from four different clients now with the same results, sometimes getting a file (without error) that is much smaller than it should be. Two of them were Win2003 server clients at two different locations on the east coast (read: ISP's/routes) and another was in the northwest. I am in the southwest. I have access some some 300+ other servers throughout the united states but I'm going to stop that approach. I have tried the download from literally every major carrier in the united states. I have tried using three different browsers. Attempts number 6, 7, 8 and 9 results: FAILURE Sure i could get the file from a third party but this is the first time I've heard CCP provide that guidance. Can you, or can you not, provide a reliable download for me?
Same old software vendor song and dance I know too well. "Others have successfully downloaded and installed the client so clearly there is an environment issue on your end. Try figuring out what you've done wrong and try again."

Last addition to my petition on this subject is below. All i can say is thank goodness CCP isn't in a serious software industry or they'd all have been looking for new jobs long before they hit 2000 users online.
Quote: I suppose CCP can now bury this ticket along with the thousands of other upgrade/patch deployment petitions they've had for years now. No No No, it can't be you, right? It's that infernal internet thinggy everyone in the 90's figured the **** out. But not you. It's the darned complicated internet, right?
From the same PC, browser, network connection, and download link that failed 5 times before and after trying 4 other machines from across the goddamn continent the tenth download finally worked. Finally and **** you. I suppose this is just one reason you're writing games and not professional software that actually has any meaning. "Attention to detail is the sign of a professional" = you guys pretty much suck, even if the game, client, and network code remain quite impressive. ****ing get your act together, i know you have the talent.

I tried yesterday to patch my SiSi version of EVE to test some things I wanted. Haven't run the client since Apocrypha went out, so I copied the TQ client (build 86756) to another folder, fixed the shortcuts and run it to start patching to whatever build it has come to. The autodownload patcher started and I waited for ages for it to download only to see an Error message about some checksum. !#$@#$!@$#$....
Long story short, I managed to find the "evepremiumpatch86756-87385_test_m.exe" file and the "evepremiumpatch87385-87566_test_m.exe" from CCP page. So I patched the client first to build 87385 and then to build 87566, which is according to CCP the latest build (Current Client Version: 87566) (not to mention that the link "Download TQ to Singularity Patch" doen't work as stated on above post).
Well, full of joy, I started up the client... only to see that the Status of SiSi was UNKNOWN. I waited up a bit to see if another patch message will arrive... guess what...
I'm still waiting!!!
P.S. Is SiSi actually online????

Hey all,
I have played a number of mmo's in the past and am really enjoying Eve. Have only been on for a few days so am a noob at this game. I have an issue and am not sure how to resolve it (without a full re-install). The game appeared to load fine for the first few days, now I get the Apocrophya font with the cool space clouds......then it disappears and if i use windows aero (yes i know its vista and it sucks) all i see is a white screen with the 'E' logo. I was able to get it running earlier by loading the safe version, but now I got nadda. Any ideas on how to fix?

Same problem here with the new MAC. I'm not a complaining person normally, but I really am getting sick and tired of the problems with installers and game issues since Apocalypse. CCP do you ever test the patches beforehand. Looks like a complete reinstall needed and hours of time wasted redoing all my settings... grrr.

I have the same problem :-( It says, the client is corrupted. Shall we reinstall it, or wait for a new patch?

Edited by: Tultok Mutambe on 07/05/2009 08:45:28 I too am one of the people experiencing download issues. I already have a working Eve installed so I can play the game, but I wish to install Eve to another computer so my brother and I can play at the same time. Both online and offline installer won't work. The torrent link doesn't even link to a torrent. The download speed is inconsistent. A few times it will reach +100 kb/s, but most of the time it goes around 10-30 kb/s. Though the speed in the end doesn't matter because no matter how many times I have so far tried to download, the download process shuts itself down randomly, what I am left with are useless partially downloaded Eve client files. I have experienced this not only on the computer I am trying to install the Eve Client on, but also on two other PCs. I have tested my internet connection speed, 3.3 MB/s download, 607 kb/s upload.
Just like a lot of other people have suggested, postin the client and patch files on mirrors separate from CCP servers could help a lot of people.

If anyone has any ideas how to fix this, I'll be really happy - as I'm totally out of ideas.
Short history - since the 1.2 patch I've not been able to update the game (the auto-patcher has never worked for me). So I uninstalled the game and downloaded the client first by the regular installer, then by bit-torrent. All in all I've downloaded the 2gb file about 10 times - the game files refuse to unpack and give me a CRC error before the install screen.
So thinking it was something to do with my machine causing the file corruption - I downloaded the client on my old XP desktop (too slow to run EVE) in the basement via the bittorrent downloader. The file unpacked and installed fine on that PC. So I copied the .exe file of the "uncorrupted" client (and a copy I unpacked manually via 7zip) to a portable HDD and tried to install on my main PC. The unpacked copy gave me a Checksum error, and the packed client gave me the CRC error again.
Last resort - I reinstalled windows Vista on my main PC (using the utility to restore it to the factory setting and erasing my HDD in the process). About 3 - 4 hours later I copy the files from the HDD - and wouldn't you know - I get the same checksum and CRC errors.
There's nothing in Windows that should be causing this, so I'm finding it hard to understand how the exact same file can install on one computer, yet be "corrupt" on another. In simple language - that's bull****! I've disabled my internet security and switched off account management control in Vista to no avail. The thing just doesn't want to know.
Is the game now no longer compatible with Windows Vista?
Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

Still no word from CCP on the installation issue? I haven't played once since the patch last week.... reinstall client, reinstall client, reinstall client.... over and over.... error messages.... checksum, etc etc.
Get this worked out, I'm wasting my money and it's really starting to suck it. Whole weekend of play time gone now too as I am reinstalling the effing client nullagainnull.
Please at least let us know you are aware of the problem at least.

Edited by: Dhu Kar on 17/05/2009 16:54:27 Just writing to confirm that the 88737 client file reports CRC errors as well.
This is after a fresh install of my OS (Vista 32 Bit), with account management and the internet security disabled.
I don't trust the corruption message - as the older client worked fine on another PC (though sadly too old and crap to run eve). The 88737 file came through the 7zip test fine on my PC. I'll try unpacking manually with 7zip and see if that works - but I expect to get a checksum error. If that doesn't work - I'm going to have to admit defeat.
I just wish CCP would provide some acknowledgement of this issue and a bit of tech help, instead of stonewalling paying subscribers.

Try the new build that's linked in the other (Issues) thread. That didn't work for me either - but you might have more success.
I have 3 PCs at home - my main desktop (which I can't install EVE on because of this issue), an old desktop in the basement (which downloaded and installed the new build without problems) and a brand new eee netbook, which gave me the CRC errors too.
The only difference is that the two PCs are running off a router, and the basement one is plugged directly into the modem.
I could buy the idea that bad memory might be causing the problem on my main PC - but the same thing is happening on another PC on the same connection. I did a RAM upgrade on the eee PC myself recently and it works fine.
Bad RAM might account for one PC not being able to install the client, but two is pushing the bounds of credibility.
My last shot is to try installing via STEAM. That's how I played the game originally - though strangely enough I downloaded the full client from here, because the version on STEAM stopped patching correctly...
STEAM at least allows you to resume downloads - and the error checking should be more robust. Of course if the problem is in the packed .exe file and how it interacts with windows on certain setups, that's probably not going to help. Think positive I guess!
What a circus...

Patch 1.2.1 refuses to download. I click install off the patch notes screen then... I get to step 1/3 of the update (downloading) and then a windows error report pops up. http://i111.photobucket.com/albums/n139/Hamymac/BATigerDomiSig.jpg Signature dimensions exceeds max 400x120 dimensions allowed.

Finally got a working client downloaded.. ..I used an alternative connection at work and burned it to a dvd. My home connection is a Wireless Router using BT. It may suggest the problem is due to something downstream from CCP.

Update - I was able to get the client working via STEAM. It has its own issue with updates - in that the auto-update process works. But so far the update client files are distributed within 24 hours, and the download rate is pretty fast so it isn't much of a problem.
It is a ****ter to have to redo my fittings list and overview settings though...
I need to start saving them offline or something.

I have installed this patch from just about every comment left in this forum but if im lucky enough to find one that works all data is lost after i close game leading to a complete reinstall. I just got this gave a couple days ago and have only played for about an hour the rest of the time ive been downloading repeatedly. This is really stupid for a game you have to pay monthly for. Anyone got some fresh ideas let me know cause I rrrrreeeeeaaaaallllyyy want to play. |

Your not kidding - wasn't easy to track this down. I've been trying to install EVE on a friends laptop - the online installer (via eve's site) failed so I opted for the less friendly "Steam powered" client in hopes it was a different download source. It seemed to work, but again I had the same results as you did; the app would launch the splash screen then disappear never loading the app fully. In the task manager it would still run and I'd have to kill it there. I spent about 30 min looking through various posts online to see if it was a steam issue or not as it seemed to get all the files and they all checked out compared to my install.
Instead of doing all the extra stuff you mentioned, I went to run the EXE from the steam client direct and got all the error messages about the directx files missing or corrupt as you did. To fix it I simply browsed to the Bin\directx folder in the client I obtained through steam - ran that setup in the folder and BAM, problem fixed.
I don't know why the steampowered installed is to ******ed to launch the directx setup as it apparently has a few special files for eve above and beyond the normal directx client that the game needs. Oh well, perhaps someday they will fix it... but I seriously doubt it.
Its your comment below that gave me the idea
Originally by: eisbrescher I'm in again, and let me tell you it wasn't easy, but it is possible.
7B. I tried to launch EVE using Steam and as I mentioned, the splash screen would appear, then pause and close. (very annoying)
7C. I navigated directly to the CCP EVE directory to try again: "c:\program files\ccp\eve\eve.exe"
9. The aforementioned file is obviously a DirectX file (so says google.com). At any rate, the file was located inside on of the .cab files, which are located within the DirectX folder, or here: "c:\program files\ccp\eve\bin\directx\"

If I didn't love your game so much, I'd be tempted to hunt you all down right now.
So the results of the miraculous 'now it will patch!' story: Download ran fine. Extraction Error, with the oh so ever useless message of "Extraction Error. There has been an error in extraction. Please try manual patch"
Which I'd love to except for 2 things. The patching did get far enough to replace EVE.exe, just nothing else AND of the 12GB I had free on my HDD, the 1.9GB patch somehow took up 11.97GB so that now I have 27MB free and not enough room to extract anything from the manual patch.
Uninstalling and reinstalling from brand new build now.
Note to CCP: Consider actyaully developing a PATCH rather than requiring hundreds of your customers to completely reinstall everytime you want to show off new shinies. Cause it's getting realllly old and Really FRUSTRATING!
For what it's worth... I had the same problem, and here's how i (seem to have) fixed it.
I wanted to save settings and such so i kept those files where they were when i uninstalled the client. Reinstalling in the same place resulted in the above mentioned error. The problem was gone when I deleted old files from the directory where EVE was formerly installed.
Hope this works for ppl that might have this problem in the future.

Edited by: TR Hunter on 10/08/2009 00:20:37 I see this issue started back in March and it is still happening today. I had an issue with Eve crashing then a message about it being corrupt. I uninstalled Eve as well as all hidden files and folders. Ran chkdsk /f /r to check for any harddrive issues then did a defrag. I have now downloaded the client 18 times using the on-line, the off-line and the bit torrent download options. Each and every time I get a crc error when trying to extract. I have tried saving the file to different locations as well. I even tried getting 7up to do the test and extract with and still get file errors. After each download I make sure I clean everything up that was downloaded and do a restart.
Any suggestions as to how to get an uncorrupted client download from somewhere?
