ok CCP this is how its supposed to go:
1) Development server (where the devs do their thing)
2) Beta server (where beta testers do their thing and discover these issues)
3) PRODUCTION server (where we do our thing)
Issues like this SHOULD NEVER reach the production server!
As a NOVICE game developer, even I know this, so why don't these CCP "developers" know it?
one of the best ways to **** players off is to break their favorite game. and when its a PAID game, and players can not login, they will get VERY upset. NO one likes to have their money messed with. and by breaking the game in such a way as to deny a player access, as in this case, players will do stupid things like yell at the developers, and quit the game.
CCP needs to change their testing methods, or risk losing players. this is the 2nd MAJOR mess up since i joined just a bit over 4 months ago (other posts suggest this has been happening for 4 yrs? am i to expect this every few months?)
if so i think ill take MY money elsewhere.
why?
i was lucky in that i wasnt able to use the "Premium" graphics, and so i didnt have my boot.ini wiped out. but one must wonder how many players left the game over that (and how many even found out the game was the issue? many folks updated then couldnt reboot their puters, i'd imagine many of them thought they were hacked, or had a nasty virus, and had NO clue that their problem was due to some idiot at CCP).
today i get up expecting the update, but was totally unprepared for this mess.
i've done CCP's "fix", and still no joy. what else can i do?
i can only sit and wait and *hope* that CCP figures it out, while i lose both time (which is gone forever) & money.
come on CCP, better hurry before we all move on to a new game.

Hi
This is why we need some skill chaining ... I set a 18 hr skill before the patch on Tuesday ... cant log on now nor am I able to correct their mistake.
And I am away for several days to the weekend so all that time I could be skilling goes down the drain . The real problem with that is that I am counting on having certain skills ready by a certain time .
Its not a hard ask , if things are going to go so pair shaped just have some contingency plans for the peeps who are paying you.

The fix suggested to the "incompatible protocal" issue is worded very poorly.
I don't really know what to do.

Actualy its more like doping someone up on ******, and then taking away all their needles.
or forcing a smoker to quit by smashing every cig they try to light.
or knocking the bottle out of an alcholics's hands evreytime he tries to drink.
ITS AN ADDICTION, JUST LIKE ANY OTHER!

Although this seems like a minor inconvenience to most people, its a pain in the ass for us Australian/Asian players where currently downtime is between 10PM and 11PM. These extended downtimes (the scheduled and unsheduled ones that have been happening more often lately) are a major annoyance.
Can CCP please re-examine the downtime schedule and move it to a more convenient time to accomodate ALL players as much as possible. I would like to see some stats as to the number of players from different timezones to see where the quietest period in fact is, the downtime schedule hasn't changed in years and it needs to be revisited. PLEASE!

Fortunately I have another game to play while eve is down. I also play Pirates of the Burning Sea. That wont help when my training runs out tonight but at least I wont be staring at the boob tube until tomorrow when the patch to fix this patch hopefully works.

Been playing for close to 3 years and CCP always comes up with something that makes me wonder if they actually know what they are doing most of the times...
1st, the arrogance:
Originally by: CCP Wrangler
...
But quite frankly there is one patch note here so there will most likely not be any updates and I'm not even sure if there's that much to discuss anyway. But if you find something, knock yourselves out! But as usual, make sure you set a long skill training during patch day!
Everyone was wondering just the same why something so small needed 3 hours downtime. We go along with it anyway. But 3 hours wasn't enough  Close to 5 hours downtime and we, the paying customers, had to fix our computers in order to be able to log in game.
And finally (I hope) we get another 3 hours downtime (crossing my fingers) to fix the mess made. That's close to 8 hours of downtime (if everything goes well) in 2 days. And you know what ****es me even more?... Not one single apology was made to the paying customers  |

well they say 3rd times the charm, but still no joy.
i just keep getting a new folder, and the same messege (incompatible protocol).
also if this is an issue with ver 1.0.3 why does the client loader messege say
"Trinity 1.0.2 patch deployed. If you're experiencing Incompatible (Protocol) please check the news for information on how to fix it."
?

I actually had this problem surface yesterday, just before 1.0.2 was released. Downloading that patch fixed for me the problem it seems to be causing for others =/
Better remember to train another long skill XD

Nothing says "In your face" as much as an intended fix for few, that breaks it for all.

I felt like laughing but then I came to the realization of just how sad this latest failure is.
Honestly this should have been caught by your QA department. On the bright side at least you didn't kill the computer this time.

Sometimes I wonder who made this wonderful game in the first place... surely it wasn't the ones that are programing and patching it now... they are so damn incompetent that I'm sure they would never be able to come up with and produce a game called EVE Online |

Gee.
Step one.
Press START and select Run on Windows XP, in Vista, press START and paste the link into "Start search" ( which is directly above the START button " Easiest is to use the Windows button on your keyboard + R ( works on both Vista and XP ).
Okay, what ******* link? Paste what link into Start Search? I pasted the %application data%\la-la and no dice. Which Eve folder do I kill? The master folder? WTF?!?
