I guess the trolls forgot about a year or so ago when you had to reinstall after almost every patch/expansion. It has gotten better but I haven't tried to download this patch yet.


Sounds like a bunch of crap related to some other game that's ruining this game.

Oh look, it's down again; must be yet another micro-patch.

Because that would defeat the purpose of dividing them into clear and specific roles.

It's not time yet:

EVE Online: Inferno 1.3 is scheduled for deployment during an extended downtime on Tuesday, October 16, 2012. Downtime will begin at 11:00 UTC and is expected to be completed at 13:45 UTC.

Geez, dude...............

i too would like a private download stream from ccp since my 6 meg connection has room to spare when i download from you, a private network cable from your HQ would be fine too.

Please call between 2-4pm thanks.

Grow up OP its patch day

No other large games have this problem of ****** download servers? I'm sorry, but Blizzard's datacenter doesn't go down when SC2 patches.

Miners, now that you can't even extend the ore hold;

I'll just let you stop and think about why that is. It's pretty clear to me what the difference is.

Of course, yet it's going up and down constantly.

If you are a computer professional, then you obviously have at least one backup of your EVE install, probably 2(after all, what kind of developer doesn't back things up before applying a patch?)

I, too, wish they would give us back the ability to extend the ore hold.

I wasn't able to DOWNLOAD the patch, let alone apply it. The EVE client says the patch doesn't exist at the location it tries to download from.

My rorqual would like this too.

Yes? Is this your first patch day? Testing and checking the server is pretty SOP when a new build is put in place.

I've patched many times, always on patch day; often during downtime. This is the first time I've encountered so many problems doing so.

I think you need to have a talk with your ISP, bro.

Everyone else seems to have successfully downloaded it.

What, that EVE has bad servers / not enough upstream? I have servers, even the most ridiculous hardware isn't that expensive because your datacenter loves to strike deals to keep clients; often charging you monthly a fee 1/50th the price of purchasing the server itself.

I wasn't able to DOWNLOAD the patch, let alone apply it. The EVE client says the patch doesn't exist at the location it tries to download from.

It seems it's an issue with CCP servers according to the error in image 2.

It's because SC2 as a game involves a common interface you connect to that doesn't change, and the server doesn't need to change because the communications always remain exactly the same. Not to mention the game servers are merely a bridge to go between you and the other players in a game of at most 7 other computers, whereas the amount of calculations the EVE server must do necessitates more software.


Funny how the rest of us were able to download it. Maybe you should look elsewhere before you blame CCP.

Yeah, splitting the holds make cargo expanders (and the related rigs) pretty useless for miners / industrial.

Yeah no, not going to re-download EVE again just to update, especially when all the updates nerf all the ships.

EVE was a great game, but starting from the Miner updates (maybe even before this) it's been going downhill. The alliance coalition used to have about 28000 players active, now we're down to about 6000. Miners, now that you can't even extend the ore hold; and the Hulk isn't a solo miner anymore, there's nothing you can do without having a full mining fleet; unless you want to jet and haul for yourself.

And don't even get me started on the Tengu changes, cruiser changes, etc.

But not even being able to update? That definitely takes the cake for me. Your download servers are slow enough that I don't want to download the full game again, especially when the patch was only 3.6 MB according to the client; then erroring out because the patch doesn't exist; and telling me I have to download the entire game again.

I have a 1GBPS full duplex line, and I get about 200kb/sec in your downloader; seriously?

NOTE: I was playing EVE just fine 20 hours ago.

Please view the post immediately above yours. As per the SC2 comparison, yeah; I understand that. I'm speaking however of the whole "downloading patch" bit. 100,000 people downloading a 3.6MB file doesn't suddenly slow the entire DC to ****.
