CCP Aporia's response in the other thread is not helpful.
Are you really considering breaking 10 continuous years of eve working on Linux for the sake of some cosmetic updates to your launcher?
Seriously guys, think about this one again please and try to help resolve the issue(s). |

I'm not a programmer but sounds like it's linked to some authentication process failing somewhere. When it fails, content is not displayed, connection is not being established etc.
Not sure why CCP felt the need to change the current auth system. |

Because Linux is not an officially supported platform and that makes it impossible for our team to justify spending time on it. While python runs perfectly fine on Linux, then the lesson we learned from Mac OS is that there are a lot of special cases that we need to take care of for each operating system. Starting with where the EVE client lives, where it stores its settings, etc. on to some non-standard python libraries we are using that would require porting and compilation (for which Linux distribution? Would Ubuntu be sufficient?). Since none of us on the team has EVE running under Wine (at the moment) then it is near impossible to deal with those issues.
That being said we're looking into low hanging fruit that might crop up with the launcher on Linux, but it's things like this SSL timeout (Error -7) where we simply cannot justify spending time on it when it's not straight forward.
Appreciate the effort to engage with Linux users and wish I was able to provide some help with testing. Not much we can do, I remember CCP tried to officially support Linux for some time ... would be a shame to see the game break after 10 years because of a launcher though. I mean, the client appears to still be running 100% fine so far.
I know this means little, but in the same way you cannot justify spending time working on a linux version, I could hardly keep paying for 3 accounts either if the launcher remains broken ... |

The webservers are still under heavy load and thus it occasionally times out getting that information. This is a general problem at the moment.
how about some advanced notice?
Came home tonight to realise I am ### and unable to login or update my client with skills expiring in less than 1 day.
And all that because of your piece of ### launcher.
Launcher which relies on a new website which happens to not have been upgraded sufficiently.
Bravo. just Bravo.
I stuck with CCP through thick and thin but this latest fuckup takes the cake.

I don't see the overreaction?
CCP made it pretty clear they don't give a **** if their stupid launcher update breaks the game on Linux. Not going to lie, that hurts, really. I can live with that, will just stop playing after Odyssey. Painful but ok, I can appreciate they don't need subscribers or content creators in the game.
But that's supposed to be on 4th of June, in 3 weeks. Not right now, mid-week with no notice whatsoever. |

well, derp ... it worked. Once.
the launcher just updated itself, validated the client, and launched the game.
~That was the 1st time.
Now, on the 2nd time, the field on the left to enter your username/password and then click play does not show up.
Instead, I have the following show up:
so, who knows why it worked once but not after anymore :itsamistery: |

It worked for me once. Now i can't get the login fields and the button to appear...otherwise the launcher seems to work.
Same, it works ONCE.
Then after that, you get that error -7 message.
Even after clearing cache etc
Also:
Ok, it's still possible to launch the client directly (located in Program Files/CCP/EVE/bin/ExeFile.exe) and bypass the launcher.
Obviously not for long, since somebody has to justify his existence at CCP by forcing down his launcher on everybody. |

If we can get that Error -7 issue fixed, we would be back in business
what puzzles me is why it works perfectly the 1st time and never again after that. |

But I am with the Devs here, it's most likely a wine problem. Since the thing is live now, maybe someone should go and issue a bug report? I would do it myself but that would take effort. I might still do it at some point if none of you is less lazy than I am.
going to bed now, our fate is in your hands :we're######:
took me 8 tries to get it to work (i.e. not show the error 7), so it CAN work, it's just temperamental |
