I just patched Eve after the longer downtime tody. But I still get the STATUS: INCOMPATIBLE (PROTOCOL). My friend got "checking status..." next to his username.
I was online about 12 GMT today he was not.
I already have a bad day and now that

So now I even rebooted the computer but the STATUS message has not changed.
Additionally the Eve-Patches page throws now a 500 Internatl Server Error.
Looks like a bigger party today in the shebang. |

Hmm, that might be a hint but I dunno how to practically use it. The problem is that I can only install the classic (non-premium) patch but I know that I once donwloaded the premium stuff but deactivated it because my GFX-Card is not that powerfull (only for opengl). So I disabled HDR and such to get a better ingame performance. I'll try activating zig and zag now, maybe it helps.

@Tomytronic: With the auto-patch I clicked on "Launch Eve" instead "finish" as well but I can not imagine, that this is causing the mess because before patching I had the Status message as well.

FIXED FOR ME: direct execution of eve.exe inside eve-installation-dir does now work (I thought I tried that with no luck already but I think I choosed the safemode-link in there only).
Using my old Shortcut on the Desktop does still produce the incompatible Protocol Status Message.
Thanks for all the Feedback!

If you go offline choose a longer skill, that will help you. So putting a 20D+ skill in skilling is even an insurance against havier real life accidents.

for those not working: have you tried to execute the eve.exe inside windows-programdir\CCP\EVE ? This was a fix for me without deleting anything.

in winxp DEU it's "c:\Dokumente und Einstellungen\All Users\Anwendungsdaten\CCP\"
you can use environment var %APPDATA% (like echo %appdata%) to get the path on your windows xp / vista (?) system as well.

FOR WINDOWS XP USERS:
If you have trouble finding the directory to delete, do the following:
1.) Press WIN+R
2.) A "Run" Dialog opens
3.) Enter "cmd" in the combobox.
4.) Press ENTER.
5.) Black Window with a blinking cursor and a Title named "C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe" will open. (In case you have a nonstandard windows installation the beginning of the title might change a bit.)
6.) At the blinking Cursor type in "explorer
"%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\CCP"" and hit ENTER (preserve the inner quotes).
7.) Windows Explorer will open and Show the directory describben on http://myeve.eve-online.com/news.asp?a=single&nid=1793&tid=1 under point 1.)
8.) If you can see something, continue like describben there, if not, please let me know here.
ALL " for quoting. You do not need to type them in. ENTER = Press Enter Key. WIN = Windows Key (That's the Key with the Flag on a windows Keyboard).
If you take this right directory, you won't delete your settings. When I looked into that directory there was only one file and it was "compiled" related.

I have no Idea of Vista. The only thing I know about Vista is how to downgrade to Windows XP.

Hmm, it's a pitty I have not written down of the single file that I deleted to fix the problem. It was something with "compile" in its name, but as said, this is only a assumption afterwards.
Maybe you can search your harddisk for such file an can find it. It should be in something like an EVE or CCP folder or at least EVE and/or CCP should be part of the path of such a file.
Maybe a GA can tell how the file is named, that would make it easier to discover it.
