CCP, I know its not your fault this happened. I thank you for helping to get it all under way, in order, and secure. We know you work hard to give is this experience in Eve… we love you. Even those that say meh, they love you too, they are just a lil macho and wont come to terms with their “emotions” 😛 Im sure it will all be working soon and everyone can return to bashing some miners, haulers, or what not… lol ---

Cache deleted, restarted, same issue. Over and over and over and over. Edit: Even installing on a completely separate computer that never had eve, same issue. The issue has nothing to do with local cache. ---

I havent deleted or reset anything… Im hesitant to do so because of my Internet connection being rather not the best ATM. 😕 I never cleared the cache so dont know what happens, what is supposed to happen, what exactly the files are that are being deleted,… etc etc. Though I am googling, and I checked out all the folder and files in that location as pointed out in the support page by CCP. so Im learning, its all files that you or your client uses often and saves them in an easily accessible location as to speed up the loading process when the files are requested by said client. IF I am wrong on this please someone correct me! ---
