Those that have reported "blue.dll not found". Which edition are you using (Classic or Premium) and from which build were you patching (Quantum Rise was build 69477). Were you using the Windows version, Mac version or Linux version? Directly from CCP or from Steam? Regular download or BitTorrent? Can you please post the messages you get (as Serena Hennessy did above)?

We are working on a work-around for the "missing blue.dll after patching" issue that a few users have been experiencing. Stay tuned.

Originally by: Rass Sonom I patched a Quantum Rise 1.0 Classic client to 1.0.1. After installing the 4mb patch it asked for a reboot of the computer. After reboot it said all installed ok.
But when starting the new client two error messages appeared - shown below
First error message Second error message
When the patcher encounters locked files during the patching process it schedules them to be patched on the next reboot. In the images I can see the client removing two patcher files and then it complains about two files being corrupt (since they haven't been patched).
There are two possible causes.
1) You patched but then started the client before rebooting the computer. That would trigger the client to remove the "offending" files from the patcher and then complain about a corrupt install, even after a reboot since the patcher files were removed so during the computer reboot it was unable to patch the files.
2) The patching that should have occurred during the reboot failed. When the client started it started the process described above.

Originally by: John Hollow I know I sound over-reacting in my earlier post and I know you guy's are under a lot of stress right now trying to deal with the problems. The main thing that upsets me is I talked some of my friends into getting the steam version and after the first patch deployment, the quit using it on steam so I cannot use the steam tools to interact with my friends.
On top of this, they now seem to think Valve is a problem company and are wary of getting any other games off of steam. So, by not testing this at least once on the steam version no only is it hurting your new customers, but it is giving Valve a bad name for something that is not their fault.
We have been looking at this issue internally and with Valve since Saturday, working to resolve it.
We have reproduced this problem with the latest Steam client and older EVE clients and Valve has reproduced it with the latest EVE client. There is increasing suspicion that a Steam client update on 14 November could potentially have contributed to this problem, but that has not yet been fully verified.
We are jointly continuing our efforts to resolve this. I'll follow up with more updates later.

Thanks for the response! Glad to know this issue is being looked into. Here's hoping the next patch goes smoothly for steam users!
Oh, also. The error seems to happen because eve and steam are running at the same time when it switches to patch installation. Maybe if you have steam download the patch.exe and run it before the game starts then the error would not occur?
Valve has isolated the issue and confirmed that it is on their end. They say they should have a fix later this week or early next week. A work-around is already in place.
