Yeh man I want out. Im unhappy with CCP atm but not enough to chase up compensation.

OK let me get this straight... From now on or untill CCP programers figure out how to do there jobs I have to shut down my anti virus just to start Eve....Guys I love the game, but over the years you've had some dusyies on patch day's.....
What's your favorite Patch moment plz just one per post.
My favorite was the patch that deleted your autoexe file in the patch cleanup then rebooted the pc that was classic!!

I've found that the workaround would be to re-install the launcher so that it patches correctly. However we had to do this the other day as well with the last patch. It'll say the executable is a 16-bit program, per my previous screenshots.

In any case v1.11 of the launcher still corrupts on attempting to patch through that.

CCP Atropos asked me to send him a copy of my /launcher folder which I have done.

I have a suggestion:

- Remove the launcher.

Are you running any type of a firewall / antivirus software or do you have a router with SPI filtering enabled?

The issue with corruption is normally something filtering the http wrapped rsync protocol that CCP has adopted for it's launcher. So a number of firewalls that check to insure that packets that meet the SPI filter requirement which rsync does not do properly are causing the launcher, repair tool, and several other files to become corrupt thus giving you the error messages you're getting.

CCP fails to see the problem with using rsync wrapped via http ranged requests and has refused to admit their own fault as opposed to taking up the position that the companies that produce the firewalls need to release patches to their software.

I had the same issues with the launcher showing as a non-32bit / 64bit program. You might try to completely disable your firewall or AV software and check the router to assure that you're not running SPI filtering anywhere in the router.

This *should* allow you to download without any further corruption. You'll need to download a new repair tool and run it again. There are links to the repair tool that CCP has posted throughout this thread so I'm sure you can find one of them to download and drop into your Eve directory and launch it to fix the problem if this is the case.

Good luck.

I have a better suggestion.. roll back the launcher, rebuild the launcher to use torrent transport instead of rsync, and then world peace will ensue shortly after.

Torrent?
Hell No! Worst idea ever. As stated above.. trash the unnecessary launcher. The benefit, to only download patches once, is a lie!! My launcher performs a lot of updates within the last days and was NEVER EVER able to use a previous downloaded patch to update another client. Every launcher downloaded the patch automatically and separately. It was not possible to set a folder to use the last downloaded patch! What is this crap? How is CCP able to propagandize this new feature that does not exist- with a mechanic that does not work?

The whole launcher is a bad idea - just even more crackbrained implemented.

Burn this crap in hell and roll back! Also stop renaming my modules and mouseOver locking my overview. What a$$hole had this idea to bring such a crap live on TQ? You are to dumb to bring REAL improvements to new Eden. New rookie ships? Why are you so dumb and waste your time to this crap? A useless IBIS looks now a lot better than a regular Tech I frig. You should stop trying to change thinks in EVE.. just roll back to the last known stable version of EVE; fire the whole development AND quality assurance department.

And please please STOP forcing your customers to do your bug finding. As long as volunteers decide what is a bug and what not; and than they forward this issue to CCP -this does not work. They are to dumb and unschooled to identify bugs. I have several examples for that.

And do not implement new things when the timeline is reached.. implement it, when ALL customers on Sisi say, this is bug free; we can live with it.
Than you would have also more veterans on your testserver. At this point the work on the testserver is timewaste and useless. You ignore ALL findings which came from the testserver and bring all crap and bugs 1:1 live on TQ. Why should someone take his own time to do your work when you ignore them in the end?

Thanks for the info Agonis, but no the repair tool will still fail with the old symptoms. The only way I was able to fix it was to run the launcher installer again.

I have ESET AV but SPI is disabled for the 4 EVE executables (eve.exe, repair.exe, launcher.exe, exefile.exe). The culprit is launcher.exe tbh.

I think they should just fix the launcher; better yet just remove it as it doesn't really introduce anything else that's useful than was there before.

Re-installing from scratch produces the same result: the game crashes before I even get to a log in screen. The game itself is broken outright, it would seem. Win 7 64 bit.

I'm glad I set a long skill. Something tells me I shoudl of set an even longer one. >.<;

I made the exceptions the first day and it worked just fine. The next day after they patched something else I ended up having to completely disable the protocol filtering and it worked just fine. Try that and see what happens because as I said, the data corruption issue has been synonymous with the SPI and protocol filtering of firewalls throughout the last 5 days.

It's worth a try at the least.

Graphic problem!

3 days ago I was a happy panda playing eve in 60-ish fps.

Then I patched to 1.5, it worked, logged in and I have 3-8 fps in space, starts a petition filed under "Graphic problem". Next day I see a new patch, patching works nice, log in, still 3-8 fps. And today, next patch-on-the-patch-on-the-1.5 .. so I was eager to see if it's solved, still 3-8 fps and no reply on the petition.

I can just imagine how much work you have these days, but I'm now a sad panda.

I use a iMac (OSX Lion), 3.06Ghz Core 2 Duo, 4Gb 1067Mhz ram, ATI Radeon 4670.

But it's ok guys, we'll just reboot and run repair.exe, right?

petition sent, write your name at the bottom if you want to get reimbursed too:


Dear CCP and EVE Online Costumer Support

I come hereby represent the interests of a large group of EVE Online costumers that, following the reckless way CCP conducted the last game update "EVE Online: Crucible 1.5" on Tuesday the 13th of March, were deprived of a service they paid for, and want the game time they have lost back to their accounts as a mean of compensation. For this right of reimbursement, i will invoke the chapter 6 of the End User License Agreement signed between EVE-« Online and all the costumers that access the System:


EVE-« Online
END USER LICENSE AGREEMENT

"Chapter 6.TERMINATION; SUSPENSION OF ACCOUNT


A. By CCP for Termination of the Game
CCP does not guarantee that it will continue to offer access to the System or support the Game. CCP may, in its sole discretion, cease to provide any or all of the services offered in connection with EVE (including access to the System and any or all features or components of the Game), terminate the EULA, close all Accounts and cancel all of the rights granted to you under the EULA. CCP may communicate such termination to you upon 30 days notice in any of the following manners: (i) when you log into your Account; (ii) in a notice on CCP's website; (iii) via electronic mail; or (iv) in another manner that CCP deems suitable to inform you of the termination. If CCP terminates the EULA pursuant to this section, you will not receive a refund of prepaid subscription fees. "


By interpreting this chapter of the document, we can conclude that CCP can shut down the entire game when they want to, and not compensate its users for any prepaid subscription fees. However, to be in that right it must have communicated to the costumers that same event with the minimum of thirty (30) days of anticipation, by any of those means stated above.

Now, i do not believe neither I or any other EVE user has seen any announcement or notification anywhere 30 days before they were deprived of access to the System.

I also believe that according to International and Iceland national laws, the failure to fulfil that agreement will present CCP with the obligation to compensate its costumers with the value of each day of service they would have to get during the 30 day notification anticipation period, i.e. in this case we will have to get the value of a full plex (30 days) because there was no warning whatsoever that we would lose access to the game.


We costumers are not in any way responsible for the lack of competence of the CCP staff, and feel very insulted by the CCP staff's arrogance and the disrespect for user rights shown by them for making us troubleshoot their software at our expense instead of taking the time and work to properly test it and making it fully operational before release.

Therefore we demand compensation on the game time lost on all our costumer accounts.

With the best regards and hopes that CCP will act in good will and gives back to its players what was unrightfully taken away from them:

I have been speaking with a friend over the last few months about Eve. He is a student working on a fairly involved degree (aeronautical engineering) and has, quite wisely, elected to not start playing Eve at this point in his life. But he is a huge fan.
