So I started EvE Online as I usually do, 4 hours ago. Nothing was the matter, no problems at all. Then I had to shut it down to download something unrelated to EvE.
Twenty minutes ago, I started it again and the client window opens but it looked like I had never installed the game before and it was ready to download the whole 33.5Gb at the same place that the game already exists in!
WHAT??
I tried to start the client from different places:
From the EvE folder, from the desktop shortcut, from the Taskbar shortcut and from the Steam window. Nothing. The program doesnāt seem to be aware of the 35.5Gb existing in the exact same place it wants to download to.
WTH happened? No idea but Iām fed up with all the troubles I have to go through to play a game designed to kick my arse.
User settings are forgotten on an almost daily basis.
Some settings sometimes donāt even register, like Compact Mode, Window Blur and muting individual audio itemsā¦ too many issues I care to list. But it doesnāt matter anymore, Iāve had enough.
How many times would I have to download the 33.5Gb before the program decides to acknowledge the installation?
I donāt even want to know.
The least I ever expect from a game is that it starts. Obviously thatās not gonna happen now so Iām uninstalling and will forget about it.
I know Iām not a great loss to the game. CCP isnāt going to get rich with the few PLEX I bought and planned on buying. I simply wanted to say Goodbye to people I have esteem for. You know who you are.
And no, you canāt have my stuffā¦ Hell, I canāt even have my stuff. I canāt even biomass!
What a miserable mess!
Iām done with online games. Virtually all of them have greatly disappointed me. Time to go back to real games: good olā single-player games!
I can log into the forum once in a while and say āhiā.
Remember, I canāt log into the game and biomass which means that Yuzima will exist until the CCP servers are shut down
Edit: Not only that but Iām in the process of deleting my Steam account. In 30 days time I wonāt exist on Steam, an account Iāve had for 15 years. Iāve had it with online games in general.
It would be fair to say that the new launcher has a bug or two. Especially if you have the audacity to install the game outside the default location.
But never mind, the forums is where itās at these days anyway. I find the forum has more exciting action than the game since the āmanā decided to nerf my playstyle into the ground. Good job CCCP
If you ever try to re-install, or if you havenāt uninstalled yet, try to run it with the bells and whistles that ccp suggests (loglite, launcher logs, etc). Itās likely a conflict with other software, since you are the only one experiencing this (?).
Then Iād definitely contact support via the webpage. Theyāve always been of great help when I needed it. That is, if youād still give EvE a chance
The women that mocked a guy with a real game bug caves from a little game files download. Whatās your playstyle: looking in panic at data rates and caps?
This also sounds like a you-issue. Fix your crappy PC and file permissions. I donāt need to download game files repeatedly.
Nah, Iām so done with online games. Already uninstalled both EvE and Steam.
Theyāre already plenty busy. Iām not going to bug them.
I may give it a chance in a few years or so and see if all the issues are solved. Although I doubt I will. Iām a very stubborn person and I stick to my decisions come hell or high water.
Tomorrow I will contact my ISP and shut off internet at home for my PC. No online game no need of internet.
