Sovereign533 Caldari The Collective Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:46:00 - [331] Originally by: nonamenoname Originally by: Kittamaru JUST AN UPDATE: Windows XP Service Pack 2 is apparently IMMUNE to this bug... I have tested this, so have my corpmates. If you have Win XP SP 2 (and you SHOULD) you should be just fine! Are you guys running Media Center Edition? I'm running that and I've been immune. i'm also running MCE... but it still got popped =s thank god i never turn my laptop off ;) checked 8 times now... and windows says that my new boot.ini is ok =D
Wimwyn	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:48:00 - [332] 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.
Tyr Vaantau Amarr Peregrin Avionics	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:48:00 - [333] Originally by: Den enjen Edited by: Den enjen on 06/12/2007 11:40:24 Originally by: Solomon XI @ CCP: In order civilized cultures, when someone has failed as miserably as you have, they would throw themselves onto their swords. That being said. I had to restore my PC because of this fiasco. I was unable to read the forums and therefore thought it was a Windows error. Come to find, you guys screwed up. Because of this error on your part, I've lost a lot of data. I can't understand how you guys allowed this major bug to slip by you. Under the EULA, you're not obligated in any way to compensate us for our loss. I, however, hope that you do. And in a creative way, at that. I apologize if I came off a little rude in the beginning of this. I'm simply venting and you guys make a good target right now. Again, why save files on the same partition as windows!? People cry that they lost work... That's your own fault. Never never never save files on the same partition windows is on. This could also happen with a virus, so be happy that you favourite game helped you out here and protected you for the future. Here's a good answer: Because not everyone knows everything about computers. Stop being so elitist. ------

CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:48:00 - [334] Originally by: Huldradans For the sake of removing old EVE files, would your updater not first remove all attributes associated with the files it's about to modify/erase/etc, as I said above? Our files are not actually flagged with either the read-only, hidden or similar so we do not need to unset these flags before deleting them. Thus we do not.

I am seriously questioning why I am paying money to a company that could treat it's customers with such lack of care. the full trinity client didn't have this problem to begin with so you could always download that and install it. boot.ini was a pre-trinity file and was removed in trinity for NFS purposes, so the full client won't bother trying to delete a file on an install that isn't there to begin with. --- As but a single human being, my heart is moved not by the needs of the world around me but by that which I see in front of me.

Vindoes	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:52:00 - [338] i have winxp sp2. now the weird thing is, i did upgrade to platinum, and my boot.ini was deleted, and so it says when i boot up "boot.ini broken/not....blabla". But my computer happily keeps on booting after that message, as if nuthin has happened.
Shirokko Papshimar Gallente SwEaTy ArMpIT RaIDeRs Interstellar Starbase Syndicate	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:52:00 - [339] ccp broke my pc dont think being ungratful ccp i really like the new content but when i turned my pc back on this moring ( using windows xp ) i had to completely reinstall windows thus losing vast hordes of work .. i <3 patch days
Takumi Vetinari Amarr Odessa Operations Sylph Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:53:00 - [340] Originally by: General M0BIUS Edited by: General M0BIUS on 06/12/2007 11:49:54 I Demand some Compensation for this **** up. For the people that are not tech minded then a total rebuild is required for them, those who know how to repair the boot file its still not a situation one should be in. I have only just read the announcement at 11:30am and i'm at work so I donÆt know if my PC will be affected. Either way CCP should offer some sort of compensation either by giving a free month sup or something in game. Bloody Noobs!! In my job if we gave a PC build out to a customer with something as Serious as this you can bet that heads would roll and we would have to ensure that our customer was fully compensated for the Inconvenience. Presumably you don't force your customers to sign an EULA, abstaining you from responsibility. You're demanding compensation yet you don't know that your PC is affected yet. You're screaming blue murder for noobs, yet they've provided clear instructions on what to do for PC newcomers. Honestly, I don't venture into official MMO forums very often for very reason that they're full of that kind of post. Ah well. -- Takumi Vetinari

Agif Templar Republic R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:53:00 - [341] CCP this is also karma for nerf batting the crp out of this game. I hope you take a public hit and lose loads of RL money for this. You have constantly fraked this game over the last 2 years and driven loads of ppl away and now you continue to do so. I hope many get fired for this frak up. Well i cant believe im saying this but i really think "EA Games" are more favorable these days
Vigerus	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:54:00 - [342] well i cant reinstall the system thats the problem so im still waiting for a solution on Win2003 with RAID partition :/
Ader	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:55:00 - [343] I vote for a new name of the boot.ini file used by the Eve client. eveboot.ini could work.
Halafian Amarr Friendship Society	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:56:00 - [344] Completely clownshoes development there, CCP. Where is the software quality assurance? You guys need to hire some testers, who should have some long checklists before software gets pushed out. Jesus. I've never see a company **** up so badly on an update.

Jessica 415	Posted - 2007.12.06 11:59:00 - [346] i also had the bug wipe out mi file i have xp sp2. thanks ccp for getting out how to fix the damage that was done. it has made me wonder if this will happen again at the next patch. This is what concerns me.

Deusz The Scope	Posted - 2007.12.06 12:02:00 - [348] Edited by: Deusz on 06/12/2007 12:02:29 I'm just counting my lucky stars that I have any knowledge of PCs at all and have separate partitions for XP, Games and Storage. Otherwise I would have been farked. My sympathies that are suffering :E Not like they can get back online to see the website warning. It's like 'Keyboard not detected, press any key to continue'. :D

Naphyza	Posted - 2007.12.06 12:04:00 - [351] Originally by: Naphyza dudes... I just restored my system, just to get sure... now me eve is f*cked up, i'll have to re-install it and i frikin do not even have a boot.ini in my root... yes, not even a hiden one. seems like i never had one. the restore point was 4h before upgrading to premium content. therefore it has to be just right, but there still is no boot.ini... that means, i didnt have any before the upgrade... should i really set up a boot.ini manually now, to be sure?? please? yes or no? btw: before i restored the system, i made a boot.ini myself, like on the ms-support website. after restoring the sys, it was gone...

I'm not sure if this will actually work since I have no experience with RAID systems (I'm lazy and just have JBOD set up), so good luck! --- As but a single human being, my heart is moved not by the needs of the world around me but by that which I see in front of me.
Doc Imp	Posted - 2007.12.06 12:08:00 - [358] Originally by: Halafian Completely clownshoes development there, CCP. Where is the software quality assurance? You guys need to hire some testers, who should have some long checklists before software gets pushed out. Jesus. I've never see a company **** up so badly on an update. I was thinking even the amusing EPIC fail is not strong enough for this, possibly epic clownshoes fail? I don't know what else to add really, it's just amazing that something this utterly stupid could get out into the wild. Maybe "Puling an eve trinity" should be the newest way to warn folks about a very bad situation?
