I tried the default directorys in Eve for win2k, plus used the winxp directory, and also used a manual directory (userprofile).... None seem'd to work.
Probably best to just wait on a fix.

2hrs after I started this thread, and still no answer from the Devs as to what was installed, what was changed, why there wasnt an annoucement before this patch.

Yes it says they are testing a new autopatch thingy, it doesn't tell us exactly what was done. The autopatcher must of come through at an earlier patch to patch the way it did....

Not one thing is working. Nothing. I cannot log in. This is a really bad way to start the day and I had such high hopes. Awaiting any fixes that work for Windows2k users. I created folders as stated on every disk and in every folder I could possibly think of adding it to and nothing, it just sita there. Utterly hopeless and depressed now. A very very bad day.

CCP, congratulations. You've just moved in my mind from 'reputable' to 'Microsoft'.
Seriously, what the ****? No patch notes, no facility to manually upgrade, no responses pertaining to what was patched, and an inactive UI instead of a progress bar? I'd expect this from Windows Update, but not from the old CCP we used to know.

- 4mb is hardly a drain on bandwidth no matter how many clients you have (took me less than 15 seconds to download, apply and log in  ).
- It is not your right to get patch notes. It is merely a perk as a customer.
Stop whining and be thankful that CCP can fix minor bugs in this way.
pull your nose outta there arse! with the boot.ini problem i think the least they could do is tell us wth they fixed.
/me hates a dam suck up
I'm not a suckup, I just don't see the reason why the forum community needs to throw their arms up in the air and scream that the sky is falling because CCP doesn't put up a set of patch notes.
Sure I've had problems with some CCP patches in the past but I'm sure you understand just as well as I do how expensive and completely impractical it would be to have thousands of test rigs in order to test out every single system configuration for a standard patch.
Granted the boot.ini thing was a crappy experience for all those affected, however they've made their major mistake and I seriously doubt it will happen again (feel free to pull this up as a quote if it does, makes no difference to me). I'm guessing you're one of these people who keeps a list of all the things CCP have done wrong over the years and rolls out random examples everything something else happens.
Stop living in the past, you'll feel better for it.

I have three accounts and I am frozen out of the game so I'll complain all I like and I won't ask for either your permission or approval; got it?

Strike up another person on win2k, unable to get it working at all.
On the plus side, the linux client worked for me after trinity... right up until I undocked. And now that crashes within a second of loading. So no eve at all for me it seems.

You would do better to stop living in the past yourself.
It's not expensive, impractical or odd to have a whole pile of common configurations- there are products out there to automate testing on hundreds of combinations of systems (VMware Lab Manager for instance) using virtualisation to avoid needing hundreds of actual machines.
Patch notes are vital for customers because it alerts us to potential problems, game balance changes, and so on, ahead of time. This isn't about boot.ini- that was an honest mistake and patchnotes wouldn't (and didn't) help. This is about intentional changes. If CCP had put patchnotes out saying 'OK, this is the last set of patchnotes you're getting', there would be uproar. People can discuss changes before they happen- this thread could have happened before CCP rolled anything out, and then they could have done it with changes taking the community stance into account (IE: with patchnotes, a progress bar, etc).

loaded it up with a filemon, problem seems to be that the game looks for a different folder on win2k than the one stated in the manual fix. it looks for 6d870f9991fec176dd7d4c8723fcee66 instead of the one stated. however fixing that didnt work either, it finds the dir/file,reads then closes it and thats about it.
the amount of buffer overflows is also quiet shocking, might be a win api thing tho.

And the day someone else has found a way to inject their own patch with keyloggers and such, everyone will come screaming. This is why CCP needs to announce changes, to make the public aware of changes that are about to happen.

Sorry but NO !!!!!
Can you think of something else that installs software on your computer without your explicit consent ... oh yes that would be a Virus/Trogan wouldn't it ... I'd go as far to say that people have been put in jail for doing just what CCP have just done.
And no I've not given implicit consent by starting the existing client or trying to log on ... I'm sorry I expect a OK/Cancel button before the patch downloads/installs with an explanation that if I don't download patch I wont be able to play the game !
I'll be seriously reconsidering my subscription if this continues.

Running Win2k from D:
Copied "Compled Code" into the directory specified (on the d: drive).
Logged in.
Finishes Bulk Data.
Just sits there ... like it was doing the first hour and a half.
I had to create the CCP & EVE parts of the
D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\CCP\EVE\dd7d3d04d133729bde20677ec76f5d63
directory as they did not exist before.
Just for the record ... I already tried rebooting ... but it came up fine so it's not another boot ini problem.
the most likely path would be D:\Documents and Settings\<your user>\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP\EVE\ as that already existed. however it did not work for me. Tried creating the given xp path too, aint working either.
Tried that too and any other variation I could come up with but nothing mattered.
I also have a system where it is installed on the C: drive and that did not work.
Guess that is a Windows XP fix only.

If your using something newer than win2k then windows
:) ....
That aside, I dont care what's in the patch as long as I am told there is a patch..
Imagine the boot.ini problem, if that would have just "happen'd" without me knowing that the client did it then it could have been horrible trying to find the cause.

Be that as it may, Anhammerad, the lack of communication is still greatly frustrating.
My first thought when the patch installed was "Hmm, what's been nerfed?". My second was "Huh? Where's the patch notes?". My third being "Hmm, I wonder if anyone's tried rebooting yet".
Given that CCP's prior record with patching leaves even newbies like myself suspicious suggests that keeping an open line of communication with the user base would be a really good idea. Unfortunately, we aren't seeing any of that and when a company goes silent there's usually good reason to suspect a charlie foxtrot has just taken place.
I have to agree, with 30+ years working in the computer sciences developing and deploying software/updates to existing systems (on systems much larger than this), I'd have to assume on of two things - 1) the individuals responsible aren't qualified for the job or 2) the company isn't understanding/providing a realistic window for updates.
Breaking procedural protocol and not providing any advance notice of a patch is evidence of a very serious customer service/communication problem. Most serious companies would be implementing new procedures and replacing employees at the first sign of any of these kinds of problems. I assume that at CCP, doing what you do well must not be a very high priority. This is sad because I you have a good thing going, maybe how you got here worked better than what's happening now...

Unfortunately there was a miscommunication here at CCP and we failed to announce this patch to everyone. It was not meant to be a "stealth patch" at all. This is entirely our fault and we apologize for the inconvenience and will make sure we communicate better in the future.
Please continue the discussion on todays patch in this thread.

WIN2K standard directory location is the same as the XP location.
Btw* I did a complete fresh reinstall of Eve, standard install not custom and it fixed nothing.
There is already a "compiled.code" file in the scripts folder but its a different volume.
Did everything above also but finally it is so mess up i have to reinstall the complete client again.
