I had trouble downloading the full installer (2.7GB @20kB/s = 30h+ download time  ). I've found a solution where you only need to download ~160MB to patch from TQ-120813 to SISI-121200.
Since there is no native 120813 to 121200 patch out there i had to find another solution. I've manually tweaked the version number in the patch download url and found the existing patch from 119404 to 121200.
 Next problem: i didnt had version 119404, just the current tq copy of 120813.  But this can be worked arround by forcing the repair tool to do a rollback for us, since version 120813 is nothing else than a broken (patched  ) version 119404.
 To enforce this rollback you have to copy your TQ directory and edit the file common.ini in your copy:
Replace the version numbers in the strings "build=120813" and "sync=120813" by "119404". They should look like "build=119404" and "sync=119404". Save the file.
Now start repair.exe in this directory. It will notice the broken (newer) files and download ~150MB to fix them. After that, you have the old version 119404 in your directory.
Start this old version with the /server:singularity flag as usual. When the client starts up, it will, after half a minute or so, offer you a patch to version 121200. Let the autopatcher do the job - this patch is just 10MB large.
Have fun.
This practice can be adapted respectiveley for future versions. I would also recommend you keep a copy of each sisi version directory for a while ...
P.S.: Please send me isk and fresh snowballs on TQ

That happened to me one time too. Reasons could be:
a) Dirty copy of TQ directory. E.g. by trying to patch before repair. Try to use a fresh copy, and edit just both the two lines in common.ini like shown above.
b) Used the 'Show details' button on the repair tool. Try to run the tool without the details (only the progress bar visible).
I have not figured out which one causes the failure since it worked on the second try with a fresh directory and without to touch the show details button.
Maybe you could post the common.ini if you still get the error.

That TRANSIENT_ERROR is a BITS error. If you could do me a favour, open a command prompt as administrator, and then type 'bitsadmin /list'
This should list any BITS jobs. One of the jobs should be called {eveonline_...} (I can't recall the exact prefix off hand).
If you could then execute 'bitsadmin /info <job name>' and replace <job name> with the full job name of the EVE job you got in the first step. I'd love to get a copy of the BITS info on your jobs.

The BITSadmin tool is part of the support tools package which is not installed by default (find it in the Support\Tools folder of your Windows CD or download from Microsoft).
The job will be called eveonline_client_repair.

I wasnt able to reproduce the TRANSIENT_ERROR problem any more. I've captured bitsadmin output while running the test like described above.
OS is Vista Ultimate x64 SP2 with all patches applied.

There is not much information without /verbose flag specified.
If you like you can have the output from "bitsadmin /util /version /verbose" too (it's long).

BITSAdmin is on Vista allready preinstalled, just XP users need to download it.
Nice description of BITSAdmin, its the command line options and a download link to the XP version can be found here on MSDN.

i tried to open up the common.ini and change the build and sync but it wont let me change it. it says something how the file cannot be created and check if the file name and path is correct but it wont ever let me save. can someone help me? and also when i try to run the repair it says nothing is wrong... probably because i cant get the common.ini to save. Help?

Sounds like you are using Vista, which has access control to protect important files, and your sisi copy is located below C:\Program Files.
Simply move the sisi directory to the desktop, it should be editable there.

Save it to my documents, and then drag it into the folder and replace it. Seems like one of UAC's weirder behaviors, but it actually makes sense, kinda. |

Oh and this method worked fine on W7 ultimate x64
W7 Home Premium 64 here, worked like a charm.

Hmm... did you forgotten to start eve.exe with the /server:87.237.38.50 flag? If so, the autopatcher would patch to current tq version instead of what is on sisi.

hey hey
i had 118927 . . .
changed the build number, changed the sync number, clicked repair.
149MB \o/
and i changed directly to the current 121200 build number without any intermediate patching.
tyvm this helped alot and will hopefully remove all the pain of test server patching drama.

i have got the latest test server build 121200. Every time I tried to download the patch I keep get an error 404 from the link and doesnt work from the test server patch patch and using the convert link. Anyway i have got the 121200 server build but now comes up with incompatible release server 87.237.32.22 same as above post but i have this problem only after the dominion patch and i could get access before. Have you guys just closed the test server for now? or do we need to do something more?

Thanks for the reply
right click the EVE shortcut and go to properties and where you see the "C:\xxxx\xxxx\eve test\eve.exe" just add /server:87.237.38.50 right after the quotation marks.
Example of what it should look like: "C:\eve test\eve.exe" /server:87.237.38.50
I generally hate it when people link a page with nothing but irrelevant text when you only need to know one small part, i.e. how to add the /server IP
well after doing a bit more looking through forum found this its solved my problem

For those of you having BITS errors, try deleting the SiSi cache folder. I kept getting BITS errors until I did.
%AppData%\Local\CCP\EVE is where you want to look.

Dam, we need to keep this thread going and up to date. I spent over an hour getting from 121200 to 12505 before the next patch wouldn't work. (http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/test/evepremiumpatch125055-125485_test_m.exe) "he requested URL /test/evepremiumpatch125055-125485_test_m.exe was not found on this server."
I even tried manually putting in 125055-everything above even current and no dice. It's like the purposely allow you to get a small ways, then put a wall in front of you, incredibly frustrating. I'm not sure how anyone was able to participate in the lag testing without downloading the full version.
Doesn't it cost more to have everyone DL full version then to have the patches available on a small website with 5-10mb patch files?
Anywho, so that didn't work, tried to "repiar" and change client version yadaa yadaa, came up with a 2G patch (400mb) less then full download at least.
Still trying over and over to find a solution that doesn't involve eating 10% of my monthly bandwidth everytime I need to patch, any suggestions? Thanks, Aze

No we don't. As always when both servers are running the same build just copy your TQ installation to your SiSi installation.

Huh? Despite the fact that I can't see anyone wanting other overview settings on SiSi than on TQ I didn't say anything about overwriting them, I said to copy your client folder.

Yea I copied it directly over (cut and paste then changed the target) and same thing as last time. All settings were deeleted, all fittings gone, overview everything... This was what I was trying to avoid...
Did you move your settings too? The default location for them varies per OS, but also per install directory. For example, if the EVE install is c:\foo\bar the settings default to something like c:\users\<you>\c_foo_bar
This means if you copy your install to c:\ham\eggs then it'll be trying to load the settings from c:\users\<you>\c_ham_eggs
The exact location, as I said, depends on the OS you're using but check here for the listings of their locations.
