I had a reply from a Dev (cant find it again doh) that all problems of download have been solved with the patch. I hope you dont mind if I say I am not convinced and I for one am not downloading this patch untill I get some cast iron gurantee that it not going to screw up my oporating system. I share this machine with my wife and children and I could not even think of the grief I would get if I screwed it up - or should say if CCP scrwed it up. So I will be playing other games for some days until this stuff has been solved. I am seriously questioning why I am paying money to a company that could treat it's customers with such lack of care.

I am at work so have time to read this thread (sad git I am)
Some people call this problem "a bug" - if this was written by some spotty faced 14 year old it would have been called "a virus" come to think of it a spotty faced 14 year old could do a better job  .
This is not a "bug" it is shame faced careless behavoiur and treating fee paying customers with total contempt. It means bugger all in the great scheme of things but I for one am seriously thinking that this is the last time CCP get my cash.
I have played online games for over 15 years and this is the worst example I have seen of blantant carelessness. I have had servers die for weeks, I have had patches that dont work, I have had patches that make me loose items, I have had patches delayed for over 6 months - I have never ever had a patch that could totally destroy the abilty to use my machine. At work we have more firewalls and protocols than you can poke a stick at and I dont work with highly confidential material - why? to stop crap like this happening.
I have searched around and cant even find an apology from anybody in CCP (well anybody in CCP high enough to have some level of real responsibilty).
Words fail me, anybody who knows me faints.
I dont want compensation I want HEADS - I want to know that I am paying money to a competent provider who cares about me its customer.

just checked myself using run>cmd> find boot.ini ect .
came back with "no boot.ini found"
so i restarted anyway as i only play eve on this sys and a format takes like 20-30 mins.
Any it starts restarting , then just before the windows loading screen i get "invalid boot.ini" , but it carries on loading and here i am still.
so do i leave it as is or what?
But all the Devs on the forums are saying do this - do that and the sky is sunny. CCP wake up a wave of protest is about to hit you like you have never seen before. I hope you have a good bank manager to cover the debts this will cost you in lost customers - bye off to work

will CCP make reimbursement to ppl that need to reinstall XP ?
many ppl loused part of work any info from ccp ?
Of course they will compensate us - like I believe in Santa Claus - get real.
I am pleased to announce that I have not downloaded the patch and until somebody can give me some guarantee that it will not screw my machine I am not going to. I don't care anymore that I cant play I would rather not play Russian roulette with my machine thank you very much.
Can you give me a reason to trust CCP again with their code and my money?

Why oh why do people accept such **** poor service from CCP - if you bought this patch in a shop you would take it back as broken but we get people coming on here making excuses for faulty goods. Totally amazing !!!!!

I don't understand why so many people are complaining that they don't have an OS disc. People actually buy computers with no external media backups of OS software and driver software? NO-body makes backups anymore? Family photos gone and no backups? Too bad stupidity isn't physically painful. Get a tape drive, 1 time per week, do a data backup.
You don't need to be a nerd for this precaution.
I think the new content looks awesome. Nobody is going to quit playing over this.
Nobody's going to sue anybody over this. Please stop saying you're going to sue, you know you won't!
You clearly live your life inside Eve not in the real world. Bet you did not suffer like others in this thread. You lost the bet by the way I for one have stopped playing due to this **** up. You want my PayPal account to pay me my winnings? Backups are made but why should I trust my computer to CCP - they have a track record of screwing up only so long you can listen to apolgies before you walk away.

There is a couple of basic flaws in the arguement from people who have suffered from the major screw up - you think CCP and others who were fortunate not to suffer major grief even care.
We get an apology from CCP - grudging and many hours after the problem occurs. We get people coming on here calling other NooBs and idiots for not donig back-ups etc etc etc etc.
This is going to take CCP ages - if ever - to over come. It is very clear that CCP quality assurance department need to be given the sack very quickly. I will not be downloading this patch as it is very clear from other threads they have yet again made a total arse of it and not listening to people who test the thing eg implants, POS (list too long).
I will continue to read and post but CCP are not getting my custom till they come clean on this issue and an apology is not enough - explanations are needed.
