Can anyone tell me the size of the Launcher update? I was playing fine all day ( must have launched early this morning before Updater was updated ) and then I logged off, started back up and now it says " DOWNLOADING LAUNCHER UPDATE " with just a grey bar, no download information etc. Here is where the problem is. I'm on a slow internet, I download at 60kbs. I know that it is transferring information, as I have the program NetWorx. I am new and just started on May 25th. Ive never experienced needing to update launcher after my initial update.

Should I have information of the Launcher Update status? Or will it just be done when its done. Am I actually hung up and something is not working right therefor its not updating? ( though like I said, everytime I launch the updater NetWorx shows download speed activity. Anyway, the main reason I want to know the size is so I can decide if its large enough that it would be better if I ran to my parents house quick to use there 1.7mbs download speed. OR if its small enough that it should finish soon. Anyway, hopefully someone can tell me the download size. Thanks in advance.

Question to the Dev's, is there anyway or thought for the future to increase the number of log-ins held. I would imagne that there are not many folks that have enough accounts for this to be a problem, but the old luancher would hold all of your log-in names, this new launcher limits the amount. Thank you

I'm not sure if anyone else is having these issues (don't really have time to read this thread tonight), but they are persistent problems. I guess I should make some bug reports.

1) Even since the Updater was put into place one of my clients just will not use it, and instead uses the old download protocol.

2) The other issue that is rather annoying and possibly dangerous for me should I want to log off safely is that my other two clients (since I came back to the game beginning of May) do not have log off features at all. Not in game, not in the esc menu, no where. The only option I have to quit the game.

I thought the launcher/updater was also a repair tool? If not, or if so (even funnier if this is true), what are my repair options? I thought the repair functionality ran in the back ground when it checked files, but I honestly don't really know much about how the game updater works with the client files. Should I reinstall all three clients (I really don't want to do this because it will take forever)? Thanks in advance for any help any one has..

I still want all feedback on the EVE Launcher and it's user experience

If you find it's not downloading and installing, you can download the update from here. We did discover an issue in a third party library that we use, that is causing some issues with the downloading, and are currently testing a fix for it on Singularity, but in the interim, running the installer and pointing at your EVE installation will update your EVE Launcher.

So, what's actually being validated in that process?

That is not working I get multiple errors when attempting to install it to my eve directory, repair.exe isn't working, to sum it up nothing is working.

Your entire client. Rather than support umpteen incremental patches, the validation process examines the files you have on disk and calculates the required changes, or deltas as they're known, to get you from whatever build you had, to whatever build you need.

Its the same idea behind many differential syncing mechanisms, such as rsync.

Since we don't know what state your client is in, we examine it and work it out ourselves; this is what allows you the ability to take a client and point it at any of our servers, be it Tranquility, Singularity or whatever. If the precompiled payload that we download data from exists, it can update your client to it.

This is my first post that i have had on EVE gate. I can't log in still. the patcher won't update and says it's in OFFLINE mode. I obviously have a an internet connection becuase I can post here. Ive tried the link the Dev posted earlier in this forum. I download it and when i run it it does nothing. Is there a fix for this yet??

I have the very same issue.

I submitted a petition but no word yet from support.

edit - my problem began with update on 30 May.

Bravo!

I think I realised what's wrong with my game!

I bought the Steam Version and tied that serial key to an alt account (not this one!).

Since then I've not used the Alt, and switched to my non-steam user account!

Now when I try to launch via Steam, it says I can't use the account, because it's not 'tied to the steam account' because the serial was used on an alt!

Fantastic planning here guys to account for people who have multiple accounts! I've since spent about 12 hours in total, fully re-downloading and re-installing the game, in the vain hope that I'd actually be able to sort out my skill training before it runs out (Started skill training before this ridiculous update was rolled out).

Unfortunately I'm now having to download the non-Steam client, and will it even work - who even knows!? - I guess I'll just hope for the best, and if it works I'll not have wasted money on a game I can't even play.

I'm using local transparent proxy to proxychain connection to the game, and with new launcher update all i could get was "No internet connection, please restart launcher" string. After selfmade investigation it turned out that now i have to cascade a connection to client.eveonline.com:443 what was done and worked like a charm. Hope it would help someone.

Also, if I may add a personal consideration:

after seeing some MMOs moving away from a web based log in (as it causes endless issues) I am surprised seeing CCP jumping in it. You are going for a world of hurt.

Thanks pubbie game designer #49680; I'm sure CCP is happy to have an expert like you on their side!
