Bloody hell,
Do you guys not test this stuff before it comes out....
I am totally screwed now and dont know what to do. I uninstalled and reinstalled back to original thinking it was my system...the patch to latest version wont work - its seen as a dos executable. Tried downloading on 2 different machines. The auto patch downloads successfully, but fails with no specific info. I have been trying to get the patch on from when the server went down...5 damn hours.
The full install for latest version goes to a dead link.
Can you say ****ED OFF!

well, after 8 damned hours straight, i got the patch installed.
The new link to 1077, as I said before is broken, so I changed the filename to the last version (1058). 450 Meg download...I hope CCP pays one hell of a bill for the bandwidth...
I then installed the 1058 to 1077 patch.
CCP better get their act together before putting out patches that dont work!

i am also having the exact same cecksum error in the exact same place as wren.
i have downloaded and extracted the stuff file as you had instructed above and yet i am still having the same checksum error.

Had the same problem,solved it by contignuing to install the patch until it worked.
It worked the third time for me.

thew:
finaly able to patch. i had to download the patch again (perhaps it was a bad DL) and got past the checksum error in the faceTextures.stuff file. then there was a checksum error in the SND file, downloaded and decompressed the appropriate zip file and then the patch finished properly.
Just so I understand what the issue is. Is there a way you could, in laymans terms tell me what the problem is with checksum errors ?

I've tried everything I've read, downloaded and re-installed for the past 30 hours.
I mostly keep getting hung up on the checksum error when I hit the resface area. I've tried manaully patching I don't know how many times (including those extra files provided by the dev when it seemed stuck, although I keep getting a 'corrupted' file from some of them when I try to extract the files.), and I'm back to version 934. (I've tried 934 to 1058 since 1077 never worked, but the error is still the same). Sometimes it stops on resCelestialtexture, sometimes it doesn't, but I just can never get past 166 or 169 out of the total patching amount no matter what I do. I even tried 934 to 1000 hoping I could just re-install the patches one by one (wish the link was still up on the EVE site to it, had to look for 2 hours to find someone who had it) but that was a failure multiple times as well.
As much as I do love this game, (and I know how hard the creators of EVE work, gaming isn't easy, and kudos to them) I'm probably going to cancel my suscription if this is the kind of software they are using. I can't even patch to play. ;(
Has anyone else tried everything for over a day and still not have it patched? If not is there anything else I can try, beyond my re-installing of the game, re-downloading almost every patch I can think of along with those seperate files etc. It's just not working.

No I do not know why patching is failing in some cases. These checksum errors are happening in a third party library.
If you get a checksum error on a file there are two ways to solve it. One is to reinstall the client and reapply patches. That seems to work for some. The other is to go to http://eve.skjalfti.is/stuff and download the file which the patcher is failing on and extract that file in the client folder before applying the patch again.
If nothing works the full build can be downloaded from here: http://eve.skjalfti.is/client/
If you download a patch, you can see the checksum for that file here: http://www.eve-online.com/patch/patchinfo.txt
There are sha checksums and can be verified with a tool like this:
http://www.slavasoft.com/fsum/
Run this from a command line like this; c:>fsum -sha1 evepatch934-1077.exe
If you don't like using the command line here is a window app: http://www.slavasoft.com/hashcalc/ select sha1 as the checksum method.

No. This is wrong. CCP is providing a service for which I am paying a subscription. For you (CPP) to blandly say that it is a ôThird partyÆs ô fault is galling. I pay you my sub and you canÆt deliver on the patches. Why should I have to go thru this downloading time and time again û just because CPP canÆt be bothered.
As you are in the UK you run the risk of prosecution under the Fair Trades Act.
(1) I think my free subscription period should be extended because I canÆt play the game you advertised. (2) Get to grips with the problems of your sub-contractors û and SORT IT. (3) Failing that û provide a workable patch for the UK games magazines as soon as possible.

I tried 8 times and every time the file failed using the in game patch. Then I tried downloading manually from the ICELAND FTP server....same result bad checksum error. I decided to down load from the UK server and then the patch worked just fine.
Hope this helps

I am afraid I am hitting the same massive failure that seems to be reported here. Have tried fresh install from the FULL d/l with exactly the same result - "bad CRC." Trying to install with the /NCRC switch just fills all 3.8GB of drive space on the boot drive, and THEN crashes because it's out of space.
I'll try stuffing it in file by file by hand, as the Dev suggested, but I would STRONGLY urge you guys to undo whatever you did in that last patch and get this working properly.
FYI: this all came about because of EVE doing a CTD and corrupting itself, which has happened 3 times since the last patch (1077), and *never* previously.

Well, that's not all that helpful. So none of the d/l "evepatch934-1077.exe" files EVER match that checksum, no matter how many times I d/l them. Now what?
I have wasted enough time (many hours) on this. If the next patch fixes this, or a dev solves the issue, great, I'll stay. If not, I am reluctantly gone - no matter how much potential I think EVE has.

If you are never able to download a patch manually with a correct checksum we have a problem!
Does it not matter from what server you download?
http://patch.eve-online.com/evepatch934-1077.exe
http://eve.skjalfti.is/evepatch934-1077.exe
Perhaps you are connecting through a proxyserver which is storing an old corrupt versions of evepatch934-1077.exe
Try downloading these two patches and see if the download is valid:
http://patch.eve-online.com/evepatch934-1058.exe - checksum=30229b9c551454dee3c6d19b9b217c9be34326f4
http://patch.eve-online.com/evepatch1058-1077.exe - checksum=101c13e79e533c6f100b22c60d7255d4bad174a5

Thanks Thew, I'll give that a shot. It's really puzzling me, since it's resisting all efforts on this end. I've brought all drivers up to date, etc.
It does not seem to matter which server I pull from. I am not going through a proxy, unless it's up the pipe at Qwest somewhere. I have not had any problems with any other downloads or software. Just EVE, and just 1077...
I'll post my results here when I get them. Thanks for the assist! :)

OK, according to the http://www.eve-online.com/patch/patchinfo.txt link, the checksum for the "evepatch934-1077.exe" file should be "cc7e0dcf45b13d27c73691cb1a914366d03b5596
", right?
I pulled a copy from the "http://patch.eve-online.com/evepatch934-1077.exe" link you provided, and it checksums to "1795291f508d55b60f73949fe95757d5 *evepatch934-1077.exe" - I tried d/l with the browser as well as WGET (both checksums are the same). The checksum is the same from both the IC and UK servers.
I have never yet gotten a d/l of any of the 1077 variants that match the proper checksum numbers shown in that link...

OK, I have done multiple downloads from both servers, and these FSUM results are consistent, no matter which boxes I d/l from, or which servers I pull them from:
5b46a1a0f33042586d8c611ae795389f *evepatch934-1058.exe
5ba9fb34a8442490067c75dc9d551bea *evepatch1058-1077.exe
1795291f508d55b60f73949fe95757d5 *evepatch934-1077.exe
None of these match what the CRC document says they should be. I originally thought that I was getting different numbers each d/l, but thourough testing puts the lie to that. They *always* download with these same CRC numbers, and they *never* allow an install.
I had a buddy of mine in CA d/l these and FSUM them, and the numbers are the same as the ones I am getting. The difference is that he can install without hitting "bad CRC" errors, and I cannot, no matter what I try (he's using Win ME, I am Win XP pro).
I should mention that WGET shows the offending files coming *directly* from "http://patch.eve-online.com:80" - so these are not coming from some upstream proxy, as far as I can tell.
This is coming in via Qwest DSL in Seattle, Washington, no proxies in the local network, if that info helps at all.
Can someone else out there provide their CRC results for these files? Something very odd is happening here.
DEVS: Did you guys change something in the way that the CRC check gets done in the 1077 patch? Perhaps the fault is not with the files, but rather with the CRC check?

More data:
Just installed a fresh copy of EVE on another XP box, and it will not even get past the splash screen. Going to go hit yet another XP box and see what I get.

Wow... now I am *really* baffled. The problem appears to be some bizarre registry poisoning, or some such thing. I just got a fresh install up and working on another XP box with nearly identical hardware and all of the same video drivers, etc. I then copied the entire EVE directory over to my problem box AND IT WORKS FINE...
Uninstalling, re-installing, deleting the directory, patching by hand, auto-patching... *none* of that worked, but pulling the entire damn thing over by hand did (though none of the checksum numbers ever match the ones on that "official" reference). I am well and truly puzzled now.

I have also had the same problem on my XP machine. Tried everything listed in support forums wasting my whole weekend. Managed to get it working this evening and am finally in the game. The only change I made since the last failed attempt was to install all Windows updates available. I had the same problems downloading patches for the starwars galacies beta which also uses a checksum to compare.

Yeah, it looks like a major bug was introduced in 1077 with regard to the checksum process. The checksum numbers that the dev points to are highly suspicious, but I have not been able to get anyone out there to confirm/deny the mismatches.
I don't think that the files are actually corrupt, but rather that for some reason the bit of code doing the checksumming is AFU. It is my theory that the "official" checksum numbers may be a red herring, distracting from the real issue causing the problem here.
I have not discovered the magic difference between the two XP boxes - both are fully patched, and EVE is the only game/program having any problems on the box in question. The only discernable difference is that one has had EVE do one of it's contaminating system crashes and the other has not.
The fact that EVE runs from a directory that's been copied over from a seperate box is both convenient and a tad disquieting.

Oh great - A new patch and a the problem starts all over again. Out of curisosity, Is this problem being looked into - has the third party developer of the library at fault being notified or are we hoping the problem/users will just go away?

This is getting insane. I have been working on the patch for 5 hours now...ended up with DL the seperate res.stuff files, guess what...some of them give a reading error while unzipping. Got one of them unpacked after the 3th DL...still working on the 4th DL of the other.
Excellent game but really i don't know how long i can take this before i decide this is going to be placed on my "I have tried this but never again" game shelf.

Tell ya what. Ive been waiting for 9 hours now for these files or at least the full build. If I have to wait until tomorrow, Im cancelling my subscription. This is rediculous and uncalled for. Get you f**king sh*t together or you wont have anymore customers. Were all a little sick of this.

Oh, that's IT. Me too. New patch, and now I'm blown again. I've wasted enough time on this with NO responses from the "support" team, save for a few here in this forum that did me little good (though they were well-intentioned).
As much as I like EVE, I am faced with the only course of action open to me - cancellation. There are other worlds than these...

just the small results of the testing session of nimda and me:
Patching problem - Report
Users: KREISCH (no problems) and NIMDA (patching problems)
Situation: Patching on severall systems causes CRC checksum error.
Systems: KREISCH: P3-500, very old system
NIMDA: High end XP 2800
To ensure I/O safety NIMDA turned of DMA for Harddrives,
Step 1:KREISCH and NIMDA, installed into fresh folder, CD version
Result: MD5 of both installations are exact the same
Step 2: Download Patch CD to 1105 (from two diffrent locations)
Result: MD5 of the patch file is exact the same
Step 3: Applying the Patch
Result: KREISCH: Passed, NIMDA: Failed (checksum error ResFaceTextures.stuff)
Step 4: NIMDA tried again. Fresh install, patching, closing all programs except the basis.
Result: Failed, same error.
Final words:
There is something strange about all this. To give more details follow the MD5s we got on
NIMDAs system of the resFaceTextures.stuff:
22ac6dcddd6b2fdc2c1753e9fd57fe6e - After installation from the CD
3ee638528fb01f3fff61523da6d1ffaa - After patch to 1105 that failed (try 1)
b58142b822cf09ac65aad01fc1350c9f - After patch to 1105 that failed (try 2)
Now the way it should be on KREISCH system:
22ac6dcddd6b2fdc2c1753e9fd57fe6e - After installation from the CD (exact the same)
f31ab95035871a06c50d315c4f593e18 - After patch to 1105 that succeeded
As you can see, the patching process has problems finishing the update process and seems to
stop in the middle of nowhere specific and dumps the CRC error. Updating does not stop at
the same position in the same given steps, so it must be something else. All files are exact
the same, installation and the patch file itself.
