Korgan Nailo 5ER3NITY INC Supernova Federation 18	Posted - 2012.03.27 20:43:00 - [2] - Quote Hi, I don't know if this is the best place to post it, but I would like to report that using Safari on Windows as the default browser and clicking any links inside the launcher brings Internet Explorer up but opens nothing. It seems that the launcher is not calling the OS to open the URLs but in fact just forcing them through IE. Thanks.

Would you be so kind to take the time to report a bug about the issue so the developers can investigate the issue in more detail and release a fix for it as quickly as possible. The more reports they receive about the issue from different aspects and hardware profiles the better.

Salpun Paramount Commerce Tactical Invader Syndicate 226	Posted - 2012.03.28 10:14:00 - [4] - Quote I have not yet been able to get the launcher to open or close gracefully when there is no internet connection. It corrupts the install. When there is no internet there needs to be a pop up and no change to the installed files. People that move their computer alot and use hotel and other internet connections would be greatful.

I did not copy paste the message but it only happens when you are trying to patch. After i cleared cache and ran the repair tool. It reinstalled the current TQ update patch. Disconnecting the Wifi gave me the clear no internet message. When I scanning thru the earlier error messages it happened 4 to 5 times. There was a clear no internet error message. Also not getting any web pages to load if I use the launcher. IE loads but there is not a web address. If there is another build to day i'll make sure I recorde the message for later down load.
Harumi san Stand Alone Complex. 0	Posted - 2012.03.28 12:51:00 - [7] - Quote i was trying something about eve launcher and steam, but found nothing, so i will post my experiences here : 1. when i launch eve through steam after starting up/restarting PC, it usually launches the launcher, launcher launchers the game, i believe that part works as intended, but, when i close client and run it again via steam, it launches the game directly. 2. the steam overlay doesn't work in eve since eve launcher was delivered. any chance of fixing this ? i really loved to use steam overlay to make and post screens from eve (worked great for screening and posting reports of gate camps and so on)

KanashiiKami 58	Posted - 2012.03.28 22:46:00 - [9] - Quote im not sure if this work around has been stickied .... here goes ... if your launcher does not update client properly .... or it says client is updated ... but eve does not run ... 1) clear bulkdata 2) off antivirus (some may have to off firewall) 3) off any other internet service (not sure abt this 1) 4) run repair 5) run evefile.eve direct (take note the error) ... not the launcher.exe 6) repeat process 4-5. until evefile does not return a error report and actually runs. 7) return back your other programs to service (ie --> antivirus, torrenters, etc etc) cheers K WUT ???

All games i have that uses launchers or websites run just fine also does eve when i start it by bypassing the launcher with exefile.exe in the bin directory (this only works if u got a fresh installation from the latest version). It seems they pushing patches like every day now so if you have the launcher problem your pretty screwed couse in my case i need to download the full client almost each freakin day install it and bypass the launcher as discribed above. This is getting to the point where i realy think if its worth my money. I realy like the new stuff ccp is doing but the launcher is killing my desire to play the game. If ALL other stuff works exept for the eve launcher (aka eve destroyer!) it's pretty obvious where the problem is....

And yest the cache was empty. when i start the game bypassing the launcher it tells me also there is an update, but when i start it there it automaticly sends me to the launcher wich screws everything up again (saying the data is corrupted). The ONLY way for me to play the game is to uninstall eve download the full client install and then bypassing the launcher. I am done with it though... eather they fix it or throw it away but i cant play eve anymore with the launcher. Normaly the reinstall would not be that much of a problem, but they bring out patches by the minute now.

Worthless Maggot Elite Ambassadors of Aldilur. 1	Posted - 2012.03.30 22:05:00 - [17] - Quote I've had the same issue for weeks and I finally found a fix. Generic Patch-MAC Generic Patch-Windows Download the above. It will install it WITHOUT the need to even open the EVE Launcher. Everything related to EVE must be shut down. The software may ask you to reboot your PC before it will run and patch your game. I could not access EVE for close to 3 weeks or more. Found this today and it worked the first try and I'm now back in the game. Granted I lost a full paid month and a full month of training that I'll never get back but I am back to playing. Hope this helps at least someone. Worked like a charm for me. It DOES NOT have to be in your eve folder to work. Also, when new patches are released and you want to bypass the Launcher use this link to get this for new patches. Windows Mac Just click your OS link above, when on the page just click the "Generic Patch" link and your good to go. Again hope this helps.

I've gone through the wiki recommendations as well to no avail. yep ... n when that happen to me ... i actually open that error log .... i kept track of what the error log said i a re-ran repair a **** load of times to see what happens. n i kept an eye during th aptch to see what the repair does ... if it has block missing and some sort of error being unable to patch/repair certain files properly ... it is the data stream going to your comp and it has to do with how certain anti virus handles CCP data stream. after turning off my anti virus the error become a different set of errors and the way block go missing are also different you just have to try it. OR otherwise .... DO a complete antiviral sweep and trojan etc etc sweep ... turn off all TSR etc etc ... do a spybot sweep tooo .... then consider turning off antivirus for 30minutes and see the diff in repair. it has to do with HOW CCP stream data to you (so its CCP fault COS all my other games dont have these stupid problems) in the worse repair scenario i did, i ran repair over 60 times ... why? say there are 50 files that require repair/patch, when repair runs each run may only repair 20% of the files ..... dont ask me why but that is what i encounter. so i had to run shitload sof times and recheck, till the total sum of the random repair "heals" the entire client fully WUT ???

Kumori Masurao Rage Innovations Equinox Rising 0	Posted - 2012.04.04 13:26:00 - [20] - Quote Well I'm still getting the same issue with the launcher and guess what... the answer is to go and down load the generic patcher....You know the same one that game me the "This is a 16bit" application message. WHY have a GM point me to that as a fix when it's been raised by people already as not fixing the problem???? This time round it took only about 5 or 6 rinse and repeats of Kanashaii's fix process so that the client finally worked...

Quaz244 Parallax Enterprises 0	Posted - 2012.04.05 02:02:00 - [21] - Quote tried going to this link someone posted here,, doesnt work http://cdn1.eveonline.com/356901/evepremiumpatch356901.exe Results in : ERROR The requested URL could not be retrieved While trying to retrieve the URL: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/356901/evepremiumpatch356901.exe The following error was encountered: Connection to 8.26.196.251 Failed The system returned: (110) Connection timed out The remote host or network may be down. Please try the request again. Your cache administrator is webmaster. Generated Thu, 05 Apr 2012 01:47:56 GMT by google.com (squid/2.7.STABLE6) The launcher was failing also saying "No connection could be made to the content server. " The repair tool failed many times. So finally I decided to uninstall the game, download the full client and do a fresh install,, however at the download link below http://community.eveonline.com/download/?fallback=1 Download the three files below, the executable plus the two payload files. Once you have completed the downloads, make sure all three files are located in the same directory. Find the executable and run it. The installer should start installing Eve Online from the downloaded payload files. Executable <-- downloads ok Payload 1 <-- fails, downloads with a file size of 0 bytes Payload 2 <-- fails, downloads with a file size of 0 bytes So I'm not even able to download what I need for a full fresh install, totally stuck here ~~
bp920091 Red Galaxy Persona Non Gratis 10	Posted - 2012.04.05 10:31:00 - [22] - Quote just do what i have been doing for the past 2-3 weeks now. Download the patches individually and apply them to your eve-client https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=1077119#post1077119 ^^^^^ Link to the Download Megathread started by numerous people. Dunno if it will help you, considering that they are patches to x64 bit windows OSs (at least for me). If nothing else, you tried another method. Look, i like the direction that CCP is going, but please, dont rely on the community to keep uploading patches for YOUR game, just have these downloadable on your website (not by going through the launcher, we need ANOTHER method as backup). Proper deployment method is simple, when you have a new product, keep OFFICIAL support for the OLD product until Major problems are solved. Well, off to go grind some more stations... -bp920091

Jita Jolene Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 0	Posted - 2012.04.09 22:43:00 - [24] - Quote There is an issue that is likely intended, but does not make sense from my perspective. I can maximize the launcher window from the task bar by clicking the taskbar icon. I click a second time, but unlike a normal program, it will not then minimize. Why does the launcher need to be like an over-staying guest? Why not click once to maximize, click a second time to minimize. I am glad the minimize button works on the window itself, but why does it behave the normal way from the task bar?

REGARDLESS. Running Repair repeatedly ... well, after about 20 attempts and no single completion of the program (and a day wasted) I tend to give up. Another side-effect on my side with the launcher running default 5 threads is hogging -ALL- lan trafic. Can't even connect to my router after the launcher locks up.

botcher0 WYNX Industries 3	Posted - 2012.04.27 16:20:00 - [33] - Quote The new Launcher/Updater makes trouble with personal Firewalls, because he always makes a random new directory inside \Temp\ and wants to start an internet connection from there. Possible solution: Always use the same directory (best inside the Eve Game Dir). With this everybody can allow the setup program to connect to the internet without security issues.

We looking at a PROPER fix here anytime soon ?? I've had to ignore the launcher and just run the ExeFile.exe from the bin directory to run the client. No idea why CCP decided to have a launcher that patched to an incompatible version. I tried the file that others have mentioned in the 64bit thread but the launcher just updated itself back to the incompatible version again.

While we are working to deploy a fix for this issue as soon as possible, in the mean time it is possible to work around this issue by running evefile.exe from your EVE installation directory.

' and 'Close the Eve Launcher... ' should be turned off and press ok. - The launcher app will stay on, after clicking on PLay. - Click on PLay in the launcher again and your 2nd client should start normally. It worked for me, hope it does for you guys Enjoy and fly safe!

JC Anderson Noir. Noir.

It's started after one of the smaller follow up patches. When launching EVE - I get this launcher related error -> LAUNCHER ERROR After which I run the repair tool, and it completes without a problem -> REPAIR TOOL RESULTS I then try running eve again, and it updates the launcher -> PATCHING Immediately, we are back to step 1 -> LAUNCHER ERROR Note that I have also deleted the launcher folder as instructed to let the client install a fresh launcher. This doesn't change anything. As others have mentioned, I CAN in fact run EVE directly through the executable in the BIN folder. Trying to run it correctly through the launcher however gives me the results you can see above.
Shark5060 EVE University Ivy League 0	Posted - 2012.05.04 11:26:00 - [44] - Quote Got a similar problem: when I lauch EVE through"D:\EVE Online\eve.exe" (Default Shortcut which was placed on my desktop) nothing happens. I see a "eve.exe32" and sometimes a "launcher.exe32" in my Task Manager, but they vanish after ~1 sec. When I lauch the launcher.exe the same happens (kinda nothing). When I lauch EVE though the bin\exefile.exe it starts without the launcher as if nothing happened. I had updated the game with the repair.exe, since the laucher didn't start. I tried to download the "newest" repair tool in the forums (since that's what the devs said all the time) but seems I had already the newest version, since it didn't do anything different at this point. I use Windows 7, 64-Bit with UAC turned on. EVE Online is installed on another Harddrive, so outside the C:\Programms directory - if that matters. sooo do I have to start EVE via bin\exefile.exe all the time or is there help ? regards

EDIT: Using Windows 7 PC. What happens is this: Start the launcher. Start the client from the launcher. Log in this account, with this toon. Start another client from the launcher. Log in another account running in the same folder. No problem. So far, so good. Now for the problem: Start from scratch, with the launcher, and no clients running. Log in this account, this toon. CLOSE THE LAUNCHER. Changing my mind, need the second account, so: Start the launcher: I now get "Unable to update EVE online client" pop-up, and cannot start the client from the launcher. The only way to remedy this is to close both the launcher, and the client already running, and start over. This has NOT been an issue before, and both client & launcher are completely up to date. Has anybody seen this happening, or is it just my installation that is acting up ? Any thoughts as to what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

Then a "Run as" dialogue box appeared stating: "You may not have the necessary permission to use all the features of the program you are about to run. You may run this program as a different user or continue to run the program as the current user" I then have the option to select my current user account or "Administrator" My current user account has full administrative privileges, however, when I select this account and click OK I receive an error message from EVE Online Launcher Setup stating "Running the launcher updater requires administrator privileges". The launcher then returns to the "Run as" dialogue box with the original option to choose my current user or "Administrator". There is no account named "Administrator" on this computer, and my account has full administrator privileges. Sent an email promptly to support but have heard no reply yet. Any advice for a workaround would be very much appreciated. Trying a complete uninstall/reinstall tonight, if that doesn't work will probably cancel my sub as I renew on the 14th.
JC Anderson Noir. Noir. Mercenary Group 630	Posted - 2012.05.13 10:00:00 - [48] - Quote Alright, as of the most recent update, the launcher is working again for me. Prior to this, there was a suggestion in another thread by a dev which did not work for me at that time. Tried it again after the recent update and it did work. In my case, it was to delete the launcher folder from the EVE-O directory and then launch the client. At this point, it downloads the launcher again. After this, the launcher will update on the next run. Up until now, the solution was a no-go for me. And using the repair tool did not work either as it would repair and then the error would return upon trying to run the launcher immediately afterwards. So for it's ok at least.

zyx signs Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.05.23 16:50:00 - [54] - Quote so i FINALLY managed to make the launcher work. these patch files are useless to me because you still need the launcher to get them implemented. problem was: i start the launcher, it says it has to patch itself. it downloads the patch and cant start it because of admin-rights-****-off. i start it manually, it unpacks stuff in a temporary folder including a 'patch_win.exe'. this exe tries to connect to ccp servers but cant because my fireall blocks it and it shuts down. i manually allow it and restart the launcher patch. wich creates a NEW exe in a different folder and my firewall blocks it AGAIN. well i could play eve with the small patches in the last weeks by just starting exefile.exe but now for the big patch i needed the launcher again. so i still got this old problem to deal with. today i found out how my firewall manages these exe's in ever new folders and to work around this i had to permanently allow ccp server ip's. therefore i had to download a bigger version of the firewall i use to gain this feature. i had to start the launcher patch 5 times or so and allow 7 different ip's to finally make it work. now having downloaded the actual game patch manually and putting them into the eve install folder didnt help me at all because the launcher now compiles and downloads a new one. maybe thats because i downloaded a 1 gig patch file this morning and a smaller one later today and the launcher couldnt deal with that. anyways this whole story could have been easily avoided if the launcher patch didnt just shut down the process if it doesnt get INSTANT access. all ccp would have to change is to give it 20 or 30 seconds for trying to connect before it goes all 'mememe i cant connect'. i figured i post this just in case anyone has the same problem with his firewall.

Looking at Task Manager, the launcher never actually starts EveFile.exe. Firing up EveFile.exe directly works fine. So the launcher is merely a patcher for me now.

Delete the Launcher folder which can be found in your EVE Online client folder. 2. Download the launcher installer from the following URL: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/EveOnlineLauncher/launcherInstaller/EVEOnlineLauncher_1_32_tq.exe 3. Once downloaded can you run the .exe file and direct the launcher to your client installation when prompted. 4. Once the launcher installation is complete can you start the launcher using the 'EVE Online Launcher' link which can be found in your clients folder. You should then be able to log into the client as normal. If you notice that your account settings have been cleared, then please try closing the client and also the launcher and then restarting the client. Hopefully they will be available.

I spent an hour fiddling with my firewall settings (even though the Eve client had worked fine the day before with my firewall) but nothing worked. In the end I found the above quoted post, deleted the launcher cache and it started working. Just one additional note, the launcher cache is located under /Program File (x86)/CCP/Eve/launcher and not where the rest of the cache files are for the Eve client. Just another gift of confusion from CCP. I hate dealing with software that is this sloppy.

When launching I get the following error message: "Client data is corrupted. Starting the application through the EVE Launcher will attempt to repair the data. A new installation must be downloaded manually if the issue persists." I have redownloaded and reinstalled the client more than a dozen times so far and run the repair tool more times than I care to count. I have done 4 full virus scans with 4 different AV programs (and then removed them) and am convinced my computer is clean. I'm using Windows 7/64 The problem originally started when I tried to open the client on a public network that required a login (and I was not logged in) and it corrupted the launcher. This has happened before but was always fixxed when I reinstalled the client.

DO NOT under any circumstances re-run the patcher or this will break and you will have to do it over again. -=-=-=- Note - This took me about 5 minutes for the repairer to run.

Glad to see after 5 years, nothing much has changed. Bravo.

The launcher adds absolutely 0 functionality to the game...

Moloney Turalyon Plus 4	Posted - 2013.05.21 18:54:00 - [144] - Quote I suppose if I am to look on the bright side, this error has highlighted a work-around so that I never have to use the launcher again. \bin\exefile.exe Thank you.

It runs all the processes fine up until (6/7) where it needs to download the 23.18MB patch. Download goes fine up until 79% where is just stops the download, no progress. Is there a fix for this?

Was just in game had to relog to switch toons boom can't get on now. CCP Strikes your launcher tool, wrecking for an unknown amount of time damage.

Mortrius Plague. 21	Posted - 2013.05.21 19:40:00 - [151] - Quote Hey, I'm managing to get past the launcher issue and get to the client, but when I get to the client, the server status is giving me an invalid (Protocol) error. Any suggestions on this?
Unit 2142 Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 0	Posted - 2013.05.21 20:22:00 - [152] - Quote You can then start the EVE client by using the \CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe executable if you wish to circumvent the EVE launcher altogether. If that still doesn't work you can try getting the Launcher to reapply the patch by deleting to \CCP\EVE\common.ini Guess what? Neither of these work? Doing the first means my client gets stuck in a loop where it tells me that the patch has been downloaded and needs to be applied, whereupon it attempts to do so and then launches the corrupted launcher meaning I cannot bypass the launcher. Doing the 2nd just means my launcher gets corrupted again. So what do I do with my training queue due to end tomorrow morning? U
Capt JJ Assisted Genocide Unprovoked Aggression 0	Posted - 2013.05.21 20:30:00 - [153] - Quote Update the launcher and the game doesn't work.... Why are we going to offfline mode? When clearly I can connect to the eve server just this dam launcher wont let me in. What is the eta on the fix? Maybe more testing is required before issuing updates? Or is it working as intended? Or is this just a clever ploy by ccp to get us all out to get fresh air or talk to the spose?

McVain089 Red-Giant Inc. 20	Posted - 2013.05.21 20:49:00 - [155] - Quote This helped for me, followed a workaround on another post. *ATTENTION* -- TEMPORARY FIX "Repair and play. 1) C:\CCP\EVE\repair.exe 1a) If the repairer fails - re-run it until it completes. 2) C:\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe The game should load and let you connect without issue.. DO NOT under any circumstances re-run the patcher or this will break and you will have to do it over again. -=-=-=- Note - This took me about 5 minutes for the repairer to run." IF the Repair Tool doesn't work: "Okay fixed my issue so far downloaded the new Repair tool, which is allowing me to repair. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Client_Repair_Tool go here for updated repair tool...remember to move it to your eve folder before running it. Then follow the OP's original instructions." Hope that helps, credits and big thanks go to: Gardner Bishop and Erendiel Duskmere
Cage Man 214	Posted - 2013.05.21 21:21:00 - [156] - Quote Its almost like they don't follow any SDLC methodology and do no testing. i find it odd that the new launcher for the test server worked first time it updated and the prod release doesn't. Oh PLEASE!!! CCP Fozzie Can I haz a Navy moa.......
