Any Good IT Guys Out There?

But I’m saying that being shared implies one or more entities having access to it. Shouldn’t it just be a cache until you decide to share it?

*Logic ≠ Computer Logic

I don’t think you need to also download the assets again. However it may be worth just renaming your personal folder for Eve, just to make it recreate a new one (remember this is for sisi only). IMO the easiest way would actually be to move your shared folder to a common space for your computer users , and then switch to another account and install eve on this other account. If you specify the shared cache in this account, it will use it and that will avoid downloading the whole assets.

From your last post it seems you are making too many unnecessary steps.

  1. move your shared folder, from within the launcher menu, to a common place for all your users. eg… D:\eveshared ? Dunno, I’m not your computer. or C:\common ?
  2. create a new account on your computer, let’s say “testeve”
  3. log on that account, download the eve installer and run it
  4. start eve, open the shared cache settings and set it to the directory you chose on step 1
  5. set your launcher to use sisi instead of tq
  6. verify the shared cache, just in case. Be sure to use “download everything”
  7. enter your account credential, verify them with 2FA, then login.
  8. check if the bug is still present.

looks like line 3074 in the log message tells you what you need to know - looks like a typo in trying to execute a method on an object - ‘buff does not exist’ -

Can I ask what your system specs are?
What OS are you running and do you have it updated?

I’m not trying to question your intelligence. I’m sure your a smart guy, but from a technical standpoint, it is difficult to diagnose a system without knowing some details of what your rocking my friend.

I ran into a similar issue a few months ago, although you are actually able to run EVE. I kept getting write errors over and over and couldn’t figure out why. I even changed the permissions, changed the location of the directory, and same issue over and over. I was running the client through a VM, and it turns out my issue was due to having the CPU set to single core. Since CCP changed the requirements to a dual core CPU (if I am not mistaken), the client kept crashing. Once I changed the settings on the VM to use 2 CPU’s cores, the problem got solved, and the write errors disappeared completely.

Not sure if this is similar to your issue, but just want to help you out.

You could try to re-install the entire client and see if that helps. Just keep in mind that if it is a hardware issue or compatibility issue, you’ll keep getting the same error.

Hope this helps! Sorry for the long post.

Lets clear few things because there is many misunderstandings here.

“SharedCache” in main EVE folder only hold all game assets. Sounds, textures, modules, you name it. That files aren’t variable between accounts or character. All EVE players, more or less have same data there.
Since game don’t modify them they aren’t issue unless some files are corrupter or game have issue to access them.

Afik all settings and data is stored in “AppData” folder that is different for each windows user created.

So, to exclude data corruption as issue, launcher have nice “verify” tool

“Permission…” button is also good to eliminate possible issue with windows permissions not allowing game to access data it needs. Windows updates sometimes break this especially if game is installed on C:/ drive/partition.

This two will probable have main game assets sorted if any issue is there.

To also eliminate possible errors in settings of game you can try to create new user in your system and play there. This should create fresh settings etc.
Or remove EVE folder in %LocalAppData%\ccp on your existing windows user. but note this will remove all your in game data that is stored local. Overview, chat channels, etc.

If all of this won’t change anything then issue is in your system, hardware or somewhere else. Even network can be issue. Hard to tell from log data we have at this moment.
