We're running linux or mac, and every release requires a reinstall for us. Every patch also. And every "socket error" means crash. I re-installed daily for several weeks after the last expansion. Its going to be hurry up and wait for a month. There is no more "linux client" so we have to wait for wine/transgaming to write their own patch to compensate for the official release.
I still love eve but almost every expansion released since I've been playing has screwed me over.
Ironically he boot.ini bug would not have effected me. go figure.

Sadly, I recognize this issue even on windows platforms. I can't get on sisi as there is no full download of the client and the patcher won't patch it. I wasn't affected by the boot.ini incident as I like probably most not-that-new users don't have eve and windows on the same parition.
As for linux, tyrrannis will actually be my entry back there. ATi has released some new drivers, which hopefully lets me move back with my eve-system, Tyrannis gives me a reason to. go figure.
Parrots, commence!

Hmm WoW doesn't break with patches, neither does guild wars, neither does any of the dozen other games I run. Nor any of the native apps. Just EvE. yeah it must be my OS and not the EvE patches.
aNyway I still love eve more than 3 fanbois in a sleeping bag, dont get me wrong, just hate expansions for the downtime.
And of course there werent 1000000000000000000000000 downtime/socket threads when this expansion was released.

Umm that's by design so you don't accidentally patch your live version with the test patch.
Apparently reading the direction on how to connect to sisi is too hard.

Haha you may not have had any problems with them but I went through hell ever wow/guild wars major patch always had to do a full reinstall which was hell, with Windows as my OS, never found out what caused it, eve on the other hand I've never had a problem with on patching since I started in 2004

The reality is you should fear tyrannis due to the crushing waves of boredom that will hit you 15 seconds after logging on and discovering the only change is a wing has been removed from the scorpion model, and robotics get a bit cheaper on the markets.

I'm just ignoring this "expansion" fully. Except for the new Scorpion skin, since I own a Scorpion.

TBH, that's something i love about new expansions; many a capsuler ditches the old content for the new, leaving you in relative peace. When you haven't been playing since the beginning there's a lot of catch up.
I am anxious to see what this expansion does to the price of minerals and level 4 missions.

Ehà no? I've had to reinstall EVE all of once over four different Macs and five different releases, and that was just because I accidentally trashed the wrong app (the TQ install rather than SiSi) on one of the machines. With that exception, the original install made in 2007 has carried over three migrations and subsequent patches and is still going strong. That's 10+ updates with no issues (since I got two of them later).

Define "crash"à also: this is different from the Windows client how?

What in the blazes are you doing to your computers? 
In the six or so years I have played and the 8 or so patches I have seen, I have never had any issues with the client. Ever.
I think the have a liveware problem lads...

Really? I'm using linux for over 2 years already and I've been playing with PI just recently. Originally by: Cipher Jones

What "socket error"? Even then - eve crashes, you restart it. Originally by: Cipher Jones
I re-installed daily for several weeks after the last expansion. Its going to be hurry up and wait for a month.
You're doing something wrong.

I'm not really worried about it. Worst case scenario I have to redownload and install. Besides, the latest versions of Wine appear to have cleared up any bugs I was having before (specifically 1.1.38 was buggy), so who knows, it might even patch.
The day EVE doesn't work in Wine is the day I quit playing EVE. You'll never catch me with Windows installed on any of my machines.

What are all these folks on about? I never had any trouble with any upgrade or expansion patch. And installing sisi, after a minute or 2 of RTFM, is really a breeze too.

As for linux, tyrrannis will actually be my entry back there. ATi has released some new drivers, which hopefully lets me move back with my eve-system, Tyrannis gives me a reason to. go figure.
you just copy your client folder and paste into a new folder make a shortcut of the exe paste to your desktop name it sisi
download the tq -> sisi patch
install to the newly copied folder that you made (not your original folder from which you copied from)
go to properties (right click) of your new shortcut put some stuff after the target line in the target box which you can find in the stickies of the test forum section
log in to sisi
bamm less that 10 minutes work and your on sisi

Finally! It's great to finally hear I'm not alone on this...
Playing on windows and I simply can't patch... ever... I've sent countless petitions in but they don't have a clue how to fix it.
Only thing that works for me is every patch (how tiny it might be) is find a different PC, download and install it on that, copy the entire folder over to my PC and fix the .DLL files.
Not really enjoyable when u want to try out new content or are in a situation where u simply don't have acces to a secondary PC.

So... it works for nearly everyone else and even works for you on a different PC?
And whose fault do you think this is?

So... if it doesn't work on a brand new PC (yes yes I mean really brand new, fresh format) and 2% or so has the same problem, it's my fault ?
Yeh sry, I didn't get around rewriting their extractor, my bad...

2%? So far, I've seen 2 and both in this thread, one of whom expressed amazement that the other existed- in fact, that was you! I guess "Finally! I'm glad to hear I'm not alone" means "lots of other people I know have this problem."
I'm not saying there's not a bug somewhere. I am saying that it's more likely to be something to do with your system, environment, ISP or something that has nothing to do with CCP.

The 2% was just merely a number offcourse, the 'finally I'm glad I'm not alone in this' was directing more to the fact I'm not the only one complaining about this.
CCP itself sent back as a respons in my petitions that they have had the same complaint many times and are in fact looking into it but can't seem to find the cause.
ISP, connection, ... all that is pretty unrelevant since the exact same file doesn't give any problems on a different PC, what I think it is is that the extractor simply is stuck because of a bug where somewhere in the logs is written down the file is corrupt, breaking it down every single time. While in fact the checksums match giving out the error-code while ending the extraction 'SUCCES'.
Offcourse it's the combination of the something in the 'environment' of my PC and the extractor, otherwise everyone would have it, but since I'm not at all the only one it isn't just something I screwed up either.
I'll just keep doing what I'm doing with two PC's but there will be people who don't know what to do.

CCP Atropos, cease and desist! We're whining about lack of support and how gorram hard it is to get EVE working on our niche OSes dammit! :)
Then again, I started playing EVE about the day it came out on Mac OS X. It's worked fine for me so far. The early days were horrible of course, with the constant crashing due to the "open Beta" nature of the EVE-on-Cider-on-Mac-OS-X thing.
Apocrypha and Dominion have been awesome.
Dammit, I've gone off-topic and started talking about how wonderful you guys are again :\
