Treelox Amarr Market Jihadist Revolutionary Party	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:08:00 - [10] Is this the aforementioned "Boost Patch"? Seriously what was fixed/broken/nerfed/added? --

Thundercat Doom Minmatar Melissa Jumpclones INC Sleepless Knights Alliance	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:09:00 - [11] Edited by: Thundercat Doom on 17/01/2008 12:09:24 Oh no, an unannounced patch!! They are taking over our computers!! Ok, so it's probably really to fix that bug where people could not enter their passwords.

TimGascoigne	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:12:00 - [13] well this patch seems to have displaced me from the game! there is no paching just that empty download bar. wtf has anybody else come across this issue.
Segge Bolled Caldari Agony Unleashed Agony Empire	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:13:00 - [14] Edited by: Segge Bolled on 17/01/2008 12:13:57 If that was any sort of boost patch ... well the Ishkur is still broken, which would make it a very disappointing boost patch. Still, what gives? EDIT: OH SWEET CHEESES NO, MY PRECIOUS BOOT.INI! Oh wait, Vista. Nevermind.

sugark Blackguard Brigade	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:15:00 - [16] So when you say it autopatches, does that mean that it is supposed to not continue after being done with authenticating and processing the bulk data? Because that¦s where my client is stuck - login screen after a couple of bars passed by. _______________________________________________ Click pic to get a sig!

Chribba Otherworld Enterprises Otherworld Empire	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:27:00 - [27] and oddly enough is that the server still runs 4.1.45943, so I don't see any reason for a new update to be downloaded as the version number hasn't changed. Secure 3rd party service ■ the Love project

I was like "wtf?", but I logged in my alt and it was fine. And then I try to log in to my main account on my desktop...no patch, session corrupt, nuking cache and settings did nothing, just stuck there after auth. CCP, you FAIL again. I'm getting really tired of this halfassed crap.

Max Leadfoot PAK	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:36:00 - [34] had the same on my os x client, works perfectly though havent done anything under windows yet though

Mephysto	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:45:00 - [35] My apologies for a lack of forewarning. This is a new patch system we are trying out. The correct sequence is: Log in as normal after bulk data acquisition, the new patch will d/l there will be NO install dialogue client needs to restart log in again.

Grytok moon7empler Ev0ke	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:45:00 - [36] Edited by: Grytok on 17/01/2008 12:46:04 Glad I was reading the forums before starting my clients, as I now wont do so before I've got some more clarification about whats going on. Don't want to reinstall everything, if this screws up my clients CCP?!? EDIT: OK, was answered the same second I posted this . CCP gave us shiny new graphics. Too bad they removed Anti Aliasing for me :\

Obsequious Woe	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:47:00 - [38] OK WHAT ABOUT THOSE OF US THAT CANT AUTO PATCH ?? ????? WHERE IS THE MANUAL VERSION ? Or have you forgotten that portion ?? OW
Tragan Molleneux	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:49:00 - [39] Edited by: Tragan Molleneux on 17/01/2008 12:49:42 well I filed a petition as the download seems to not take place in time. The client goes back to login prompt after timeout and repeats the process. OVER AND OVER for last 50 mins

Mephysto	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:53:00 - [40] Edited by: Mephysto on 17/01/2008 12:53:51 We're working on a solution at present. For manual patching.

Perhaps you guys should work that out before auto patching ? or did you guys just assume that 100% of people would auto patch ? Really looking at your past performance, how could that be so ? Nice work. OW
Vahligmarr	Posted - 2008.01.17 12:58:00 - [46] sorry guys, after the boot.ini fiasco, you should really warn us if you plan to patch something , glad i did not start eve client today either... ah and patch notes would be nice too....

Surreptitious Privateers Privateer Alliance	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:13:00 - [54] LOL @ CCP. This is what happens when you move all the good talent to your new games and leave the garbage behind to run EVE. Great idea to "test" an auto-patch feature on the live population. 2 desktops patch fine, notebook wont autopatch. Waiting for the manual patch, and CCP are you capable of telling us whats in the patch or is that beyond your ability as well? Syrup
Azuse The Brotherhood Of The Blade Pure.	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:17:00 - [55] Worked fine here so no complaints but i'd still like to know Why there was no warning or prior notification Why there are no patch notes (what has been changed?) Why there was no manual download in place before testing took place -------------------------
h3ktik Caldari	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:24:00 - [56] Edited by: h3ktik on 17/01/2008 13:25:19 Wrong information - Post deleted :) (Sorry, was posting on wrong subject!)
Polly Math Seven.	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:25:00 - [57] yup lets test on the live server! nothing wrong with that, right?
gordon861 Minmatar PROGENITOR CORPORATION Intrepid Crossing	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:27:00 - [58] Originally by: Mephysto My apologies for a lack of forewarning. This is a new patch system we are trying out. The correct sequence is: Log in as normal after bulk data acquisition, the new patch will d/l there will be NO install dialogue client needs to restart log in again. Will this mean we can log in and play whilst it downloads in the background ? If not, why bother changing a system that seemed to work OK. If yes, why not just wait and install the patch when the client is restarted next time. Originally by: CCP Arkanon I frown on employees being power players to the extent that their gameplay results in any sort of domination over others. I donÆt believe CCP employees should run the EVE universe.

Mephysto	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:29:00 - [59] Manual patching: Please note that these are default locations for English Windows installs only. The programmers are currently working on a tool to resolve this problem for those people with non-default/non-English installs. Download the file here You will then need to create the following directory, and place the file in that directory. As before, these are default directories, so if you have a custom install this is unlikely to work.

X2900XTX	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:32:00 - [60] Well CCP great job... NOT... Multiple system users run SAME eve client, I run it pops out patch, downloads 4mb, patches, restarts client... and downloads again.... WAY TO GO LOL... I run eve as admin (it's win vista) it downloads the patch... applies... restarts... I logon... this time no patch - cool it's patched... But is it? I run second account (eve is started with different system user using runas) and it's guess what... not patched and downloads 4mb file AGAIN - to same client that was just patched... of course it fails to patch due to lack of admin rights. Next time make sure you actually test such a great feature... :/ and btw - what 4mb of **** and vir was downloaded? :P

Soldur Slacker Industries Cult of War	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:34:00 - [62] this worked for me Quote: DO IT TO IT
Lucas Avidius Einherjar Rising Cry Havoc.	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:34:00 - [63] Is there any chance we could get some kind of estimate on when non-default installs will be patachable with this? And will win 2k users be able to take advantage of it? I noticed you only listed XP and vistas as far as windows clients go. Also, what about patch notes, and what actually changed?
Tobias Sjodin Ore Mongers R0ADKILL	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:36:00 - [64] Why do you have a test server if you're testing on Tranq? "Bring back the pain."
Polly Math Seven.	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:36:00 - [65] tried it on win2k, aint working.
Gnulpie Minmatar Miner Tech	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:37:00 - [66] One would have thought that they would TEST things properly now before releasing after the boot.ini failure. And why no announcement in advance?! Where are the patch notes? Even the best patch suffers if not communicated properly, way to go...
Ron Wilson	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:38:00 - [67] That last one worked for me, thank you. :)
Orlenda Enterprise Shipyards Ltd.	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:40:00 - [68] What exactly was done by the way?
Anhammerad	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:40:00 - [69] Does it really matter? At the end of the day: - It's their game, they can do whatever they want with it. - They aren't part of some massive govt conspiracy to act as big brother and spy on you no matter how much you whackos think they are. - 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.

No you couldn't be more wrong! It's part of the on going conspiracy by CCP to remove all our images, first our bootimages with the attack on boot.ini, this patch could be converting Eve to a text based MUD, and deleting our jpegs as we speak! The forums are here for your protection! --

Lucas Avidius Einherjar Rising Cry Havoc.	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:44:00 - [71] Not being able to log in hardly qualifies as a minor bug.

Not everyone has a adsl/cable connection, and try downloading 4MB on 6 machines on a 125k line..

Ginuad Amarasen Amarr Taggart Transdimensional	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:45:00 - [75] Be that as it may, 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.
Blank Protection Caldari Umbra Congregatio Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:46:00 - [76] Can whe get at leats a patch for manual download PLZ ? Than fix the problem later, i want to login if you don`t mined. Can`t be that hard.

amagonsan Minmatar Perpetual Reality Inc.	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:55:00 - [78] What bothers me is that after all this time, and GM's appologising for the lack of information about this patch, still no announcement has been made on the players news center or in the server logon MOTD.. this is a disgrace and CCP should know better after all this time.
Vordakr	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:57:00 - [79] 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. . . .
CrazyCurt	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:58:00 - [80] I too run Win2k SP4 and it is not working, I can't log in. Not only have I tried rebooting and reinstalling, I've tried everything that support has suggested. This is a nightmare. I swore today would be a good day and it starts like this, astounding. I hope CCP fixes this problem extremely soon. And please, a plaintive request, stop messing with things that aren't broken and start messing with things that are. When I'm ever able to log back in I will have lost all my bookmarks, my settings, my contacts, my logs, my overview settings, my windows placement and quite possibly my ship. This is the worst day ever so far and I have had some pretty bad ones in this game. I can't even figure out how to play it still and I've been at it for 8 months. A total nightmare.

DevilsEoin	Posted - 2008.01.17 13:58:00 - [81] How about the manual fix for windows 2000? Im only relatively new to Eve as its runs for years this seems a bit unprofessional testing a patch on a live server and not even informing players using it. Oh, and as paying customers you have a right to a fully functioning game

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.

The correct sequence is: Log in as normal after bulk data acquisition, the new patch will d/l there will be NO install dialogue client needs to restart log in again. Ok I am willing to give this a try - but if there is NO install dialogue - How do I know when the patch has downloaded or do I just leave it there for 15mins or summat before i do a restart? Its done when its done - Its Ready when I'm Paid

Treelox Amarr Market Jihadist Revolutionary Party	Posted - 2008.01.17 14:11:00 - [89] 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. Some may ask why it is important to know in advance about CCP patches? I like to know when there is a patch coming, so I dont log in and have set my skills accordingly. I always try and stay clear of Eve for 4-8hrs after a patch is deployed for all those bugs that slip through to work their way out. Seriously this is just further indication that the levels of Customer Service that CCP has always had a problem with are further slipping into chaos. Instead of all the fancy stuff you guys are working on, how about getting back to basics taking care of the customers you already have instead of worrying about the customers you might get. --

DeODokktor Dark Templars The Fonz Presidium	Posted - 2008.01.17 14:12:00 - [91] 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.

Ix Forres Vanguard Frontiers Imperial Republic Of the North	Posted - 2008.01.17 14:25:00 - [98] 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. Blog

Stop living in the past, you'll feel better for it. 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).

Polly Math Seven.	Posted - 2008.01.17 14:36:00 - [103] 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.

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 !

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.

Dr Speed Minmatar	Posted - 2008.01.17 14:48:00 - [111] Originally by: Ginuad Amarasen Edited by: Ginuad Amarasen on 17/01/2008 13:46:04 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... Look ma, no hands...

CCP Wrangler	Posted - 2008.01.17 14:52:00 - [112] 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.

Blank Protection Caldari Umbra Congregatio Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2008.01.17 14:53:00 - [113] 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.
