Someone Is going to have to explain to me very slowly and very clearly exactly what is happening with this launcher thing. I come from Australia. I'm approximately thick as two bricks.

My launcher did not automatically update. The one I'm left with is completely unusable with the wall of script errors it quotes me every time I open it.

When I attempted to use the repair tool It simply disappeared from the games directory~

I can't seem to find any obvious link to download the new launcher and If I attempt to download straight from the website It wants me to completely reinstall my game. This is not an acceptable choice, because I'm from Australia, downloading EVE would take upwards of 50 hours.

What do I do...?

Reinstall from the main download page. The download is ~50MB and it reuses the shared cache from a previous install. You won't have to download everything again, even when reinstalling the launcher.

I hope I didn't type this too fast... :)

So I have the new launcher thing... but its not doing its job. I haven't actually used the launcher to -launch- EVE in a very long time due to the fact that when I attempt to screen capture the game all it does is show the launcher window and not the game window.

While the game seems to play from the launcher, any patches that it says it download doesn't apply to the EVE.exe file which makes screen capturing impossible for me. and to add ontop of that pain in the ass all the settings I had have been reset. I don't frikkn remember all those settings.

If you are bypassing the launcher to start the game, note that the executable lives in a new place. There should now be a tq folder under your shared cache folder, containing the client for connecting to Tranquility. Other folders are used for the test servers.

Your shared cache location can be seen from Settings, Shared Cache Settings.

You can then run the game from sharedcachelocation\tq\bin\exefile.exe.

You can migrate your settings from old installations. Click the cog wheel to the right of your account name, Manage Profiles. See https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=6304808#post6304808 for more information.

Alright I can understand all that. I seemed to get all my settings back.. there is just the small problem that my shared cache folder is completely empty.. Yes I've set the folder options to show invisible files. its still empty and its digital footprint reflects that.

In an earlier attempt to fix the problems its had the repair disapeared when I attempted to use it... there is a maintenance tool aswell which simply tells me the game is corrupt and gives me only one option to reinstall. the same thing happens when I attempt to use windows control panel to repair the game. it just gives me one and only option to reinstall from scratch.. Whis is completely un-necessary it still plays from the launcher...

I'm so confuse...

You must be looking at the wrong location - did you look in Settings, Shared Cache Settings? Use the Show in Explorer button to open that folder up. The game wouldn't run from the launcher if this folder is empty.

OK, we're almost there. You need to add a command line argument to specify the settings profile to use. Add /settingsProfile=Default (or whatever profile you want) to the command line for running exefile.exe.

Please file a bug report, attaching the logs from %LOCALAPPDATA%\CCP\EVE\Launcher.

How do you set a default profile? I keep deleting the current default profile, select the profile I want to use yet everytime I relog, the original default profile is still selected

Doing it right now. THis time, those acounts were cleared without any previous patterns, i had no logged in acccounts and nothing related to DT. I took a nap, then came back again to login my trader, and nothing there.

Filling the bug report

I installed the new launcher and I am having an issue now where I have no sound. All other programs have sound and I still have system sounds, but nothing for EVE. I ran LogLite to see if it would show me what was going wrong and I received an error that says "download failed for res:/Audio/Interface.bnk from http://res.eveonline.ccpgames.com/ - retrying from backup server". A little further down I get one that says "No registered file system could open res:/Audio/Interface.bnk". After the first error message I get an error saying "curl_easy_perform() failed: Unrecognized or bad HTTP Content or Transfer-EncodingHTTP response code: 200".

All of that sounds like the audio file isnt being downloaded and that is why I am not able to hear anything, but I am not up to speed on reading these errors. I would think, if I am reading that right, that my audio problem isnt my own hardware or software but an issue with the file I am trying to retrieve from the server? Maybe someone on here can help me out? Thanks.

Hi. Just wanted to post some feedback for the launcher.

The EVE launcher is super tiny on my Surface Book. On my 2k desktop monitor it looks fine, but on the Surface Book's 3000x2000 screen it is crazy small.

I assume this is because of the weird resolution of the surface. I hope there is an option to make it larger in the future.

Just drag a corner to enlarge.....

Yes, but this is a workaround for now. Apologies for making this complicated, but I haven-¦t found a setting that works for everyone.

...and also look under %LOCALAPPDATA%\VirtualStore - delete any files under the CCP folder...

I definitely appreciate the attention to users (via the new launcher) but I think a few things were missed.

1) when switching servers, we have to login all over again. I realize that account validation must occur per server (and yes I refuse to let the launcher "remember" logins), but I hope the new launcher at least defends against mimikatz attacks and could allow us to enter passwords once, and then login to any server by simply selecting it from the pull down menu at arbitrary times in the future.

2) why isn't the profile selection (per account, per server) saved? If we exit the launcher, the Default profiles are again selected regardless of the profile selected the previous time the launcher was used. Am I missing something? Is there a way to make certain profiles the "permanent" default? And, btw, it would be nice if these selections were saved immediately in case, say, a graphics card thermal even causes the OS to crash...

To finish on a positive note, thankfully we can finally have a profile with music (audio) turned off so that only one instance plays the juke box! (yes I actually listen to [some of] the EVE music :D )

YOU SIR, ARE AWESOME!

I just got the mapObjects crc check error and nothing worked (repair.exe, verify cache, delete mapObjects). I had the permission problem some time ago, which I fixed... I guess it was a left over from that time. Strangely I had a clean Win10 installation... why did I had the permission problem in the first place?
