Oh dear lord, am I ever glad I don't have EVE installed to my C:\ partition.  I think I'm also really glad I decided to just do a fresh client reinstall...oh, fortuitous timing of client preferences corruption due to a crash just a few hours before the server went down for patching!

I don't know whose idea it was to name a game file after one of the more important system files, but he should probably be kicked hard somewhere were it hurts.
Seriously. You'd think they could have named it eveboot.ini or something.

I'm having a really fun time notifying my corpmates now to "JESUS CHRIST MAKE SURE YOUR BOOT.INI IS STILL INTACT" so they don't get blindsided by this. At least one was laughing "haha, yeah right, that'd never happen"...and then I linked them to this thread. Welp. As for the ones who patched up and logged on earlier, and may have turned in for the night by now...just...wow. Yeah, they're going to be having fun here, especially the ones who aren't tech-junkies.
The people I feel really bad for? The ones who don't read EVE-O. Are they ever going to have a cheerful surprise when they reboot next time. You should probably be doing some serverwide GM broadcasts about this so people know what's up...

Wow...what a first impression for a 6-day old, new customer! In all my years of gaming (10 years), never have I had a game render my OS, useless. Nice going for a first!
I seem to remember an Anarchy Online beta patch nuking people's...Win2k? installations, and also uninstalling Myth 2 could gut your OS while it was at it.
So yeah, this isn't exactly a first, but it's pretty goddamned terrible for CCP's SUPER EPIC HUGEST BEST PATCH EVER.
