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! |

Window 7 man still workin fine for me . I may get window 8 when window 9 comes out, That means 8 will work fine and 9 will be buggy as a buggintonville town hall meeting about bugs.

I run Eve fine on Windows 8, one time I had to use the repair tool but that was a problem many people had, wasn't specific to Windows 8. |

Windows 8 is fine. Have you perhaps posted in the forum that deals with technical issues where this has been discussed to death?

I'm running the game on Win8 on two different boxes. It runs fine for me - it's not a Win8 issue.
There's real reasons why your Eve character doesn't do /dance. |

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. |

No issues whatsoever here with EVE and windows 8.
With the increase in shiptoasting, the Report timer needs to be shortened.

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@")

You might not be seeing the Win8 people posting issues because we don't have issues.
Why not completely deleteing the game from your machine and installing from scratch.

Why?
I have been using WIndows 8.1 preview and Eve hasn't crashed once, no launchers issues, in fact its all pretty boring, everything just works fine :)
When people blame the OS is usually down to there own lack of knowledge so they just jump on what ever bandwagon is popular, i.e Its all Windows Fault. |

I use win 7 64bit and this problem has come since 1.1 only with an exception on every update .. I have downloaded and reinstalled the game 8 times in the last couple of weeks .. since 1.1 only my pc has not changed.... thats everytime there has been an update since 1.1 .. not 8 times in one day.. It works fine until after downtime if there is an update. previous to yesterdays update I had a couple of days where i could play freely without downloading 5gigs which was nice.
I have been playing eve for 8 years and never had such a problem .. I have been to the 5 month old sticky thread which obviously have nothing to do with this new problem .. I have submitted bug reports .. I have submitted tickets with the exception messages the only response i've had are useless badgering from players and an isd shutting down my rage spam thread.
Many other players are experiencing these issues since 1.1. I expect some people haven't got the time or the bandwidth to keep downloading new clients so probably have not played .. I know if this had happened in the past 8 years before I was on fibre optics I certainly wouldn't have been able to re download client every day or so ..
We evidently need some old Icelandic devs to solve this .. the new devs are all too arrogant and self centred to even lift a finger beyond there own little crusade of ego.
Yesterday I was very upset that it happened again and thought about quitting seriously.. and If I do it will be 3 accounts after 8 years of seamless gaming and no one will get my stuff I will simply erase eve from my life. |

1. Update game with repair.exe
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.

Are you cancelling patches or running 2 clients to patch at the same time?
Seem strange that you would have weird patching issues while nobody else on win8 seems to be having them (other than the patch that was actually broken which they since fixed)

You think he hasn't tried this? ridiculous.
Repair has error after the patching exception .. the bin folder exe tries to update and causes some corruption in all the exe files after this patching exception. You don't know what you are talking about ..
many other people with win 8 or 7 or other are having this issue which you evidently have not experienced.. |

Happens to me on Windows 7, you haven't per chance changed any user details since you orginally installed EVE have you?
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.

You know, if you're getting problems that not that many other people are getting and ccp cant reproduce then it typically indicates something on your machine is causing issues. 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. |

Other than the one patch which the announced on twitter as having issues, and since fixed, I've not seen many people saying this, and there's plenty of people here confirming no issues. This would point to client side issues, and one of the more common ones is where people crash it out mid patch thinking it's frozen, which leaves the game half patched and causes some issues.

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.

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.

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.

Have you looked at your anti virus? It may be causing the issue as many people with win 8 are not having problems.
So I am thinking it is something else other than win 8 like your anti virus.
