I hate wasting time and making new threads but the "locked" and "stickied" thread about "broken launchers" (a point in instelf that there's a sticky for broken launchers) just has like three recent pages of people saying the launcher breaks at 15% but I don't see any answers or replies from anyone who can help. My only fix is to reinstall the game completely.
I waited 3 days for a support ticket to tell me to delete a file then rerun the patcher and they'll get back to me. Of course that did nothing and I had to reinstall the game.
Tired of having to reinstall the game after every patch.
I can't be the only one crying in the corner wondering why this keeps happening...sniff.
Please help!
Tell me you too just cave and reinstall than deal with support tickets! |

Yes.
I went to your link.
Here's the must read: Known Issues
http://community.eveonline.com/updates/knownissues.asp
See. Very helpful.
This game has worked fine for me over the years. I'm more saddened by the three day lag in ticket response and the reply was pretty much delete the manifest file and rerun the launcher and good luck.
There's very little if any updated information regarding launcher issues from CCP. Lots of people asking for help in those threads and very little answers.
I can't find a live link to a manual launcher anywhere. They all misdirect to the regular "download Eve main page.
I can fix this. Redownload the entire game. THAT WORKS.
Then they patch it and it breaks. It's like the most annoying bug.
It's a big huge loop. |

I had no issues until about two weeks ago out of nowhere. Prior to that it worked flawless.
Thank you but that did not work. Seems I have a much more updated link.
CCP seems to intentionally not POST A MANUAL download of the launcher.
These are all direct links the GM's send people for ticket response.
Here's mine
cdn1.eveonline.com/EveOnlineLauncher/release/EVEOnlineLauncher_2_1_571330.exe
which led to launcher version 2.1.571330 of the launcher. That was from the GM's repsonse but I have no idea what the current version is right now.
It seems you can back out the manual launcher download by changing the suffix of the web link if you have the current version of the launcher which they also don't post.
Anyone have the most current version of the launcher?
(also: my issue, it crashing the way it does never seems to ever have a resolution given by the staff. It's just "run the repair" or "download the manual link". You never see people say "Yeah that worked@")

2. Run and log in with bin\exefile.exe
^Even people with linux can run the game using this method. If you fail with W8 then there is problem with your system, not EVE client.
If repair.exe failing - search problems in your network connection setup, firewall settings, turn off UAC.
If everything fails - don't use Windows 8.
You really don't think I tried this.
To be clear. It works just fine on a fresh install of the game. Just fine. I can download the whole thing and it works fine.
It's the launcher. It's a normal install of Win 8. One user.
It worked just fine for at least two months. I ran this trial and one before I let die. So around two months of perfect running. It even patched back then.
It now stops at 15% at the launcher.
which is a very common error that repair doesn't fix because it then crashes. I did try everything. Ran from direct files and not shortcuts, ran patcher several times. Ran REPAIR FOR HOURS OVER AND OVER AND OVER TO NO EFFECT. I tried everything the GM said such as deleting the Manifest file.
Nothing works except just reinstalling the game.
Then it works fine until the patch.

Mine does it because it was orginally installed on a domain user account and then the machine was taken off the domain and used a local admin account. Since then every patch it errors. I'd imagine its a permissions issue somewhere on a file.
I just run the repair tool and its fixes it until the next time.
Single user. I can replicate the problem by installing the last version and allowing it to patch. It breaks the game and repair.
A latest "offline" download works absolutely fine.
So I can play, I just have to redownload the entire game every time it patches.

Is your machine completely up to date (yes even the .net install in optional updates), and malware free? Do you have any programs that are really invasive that can cause changes in how other programs work or block certain background functions? do you have a non standard setup?
If it were an issue with the game everyone would be having the same problems.
(I even went ahead and fresh install the entire OS to avoid any Steam interference. I didn't even install windows antivirus. I disabled the firewall. I tried the F5 refresh the recommend in the dozens of thread on this problem that they seem to have over and over again. I'm actually quite saavy at this since it's been now days and days of reading threads and postings. So now it's like a challenge and there's literally no answer for this issue.)
But to be clear again, a fresh install works fine. You have to redownload the game after every patch, and that is not cool.
I'm having a COMMON problem with literally a dozen unanswered threads in the Issues, Workarounds, and dead silence section of the forum.
Here's CCP's link to Known launcher problems.
http://community.eveonline.com/updates/knownissues.asp
and feel free to see for yourself. I even helped them by making a post of all the unanswered posts about this EXACT porblem I'm having.
