I’m not even fine with the regular 150MB downloads every other day without any patch notes. But in contrast to this woman, I am not an insufferable nuisance every time she starts clattering on the keyboard on this forum whenever someone critizes CCP. 🙂 The fact that no one else has complained about repeated full game downloads today or in the past week. This is a her-issue. ---

Sorry to hear of your troubles, Yuzima. I can’t offer any advice. I did download EVE direct from the website and - like you - I followed default prompts. It was only later that I shifted the game files to a new internal hard drive (SSD). So far, it’s working ok. But I know that tech can go belly-up at any time, so I have other stuff I can do. My worst problem is internet providers. I’m in the UK at the moment. A little while ago, I had no internet at all for the best part of 2 weeks, just 4G on my phone. Then, Monday last week, the new provider’s service stopped working. Using Sellotape and rubber bands at the moment. Chin up. It’s an irritation, sure, but maybe you can sort it all out over the next few days. I certainly hope so; you’re _so_ all over the Forum! 😀 ---

I do try to keep my chin up despite everything but I will also try to eliminate aggravations and stress from my life as per doctor’s orders and the game was causing me both. > [@Sasha\_Nemtsov](#): > > I certainly hope so; you’re _so_ all over the Forum Oh I’m sorry. I don’t always realize when I’m a pain in the neck so please do tell me when I post too much, you’ll be a real help, and I will effort to post less as well.

> [@Dr\_Offensive](#): > > Panic over, i just pressed the “install” button and it took me to the Ready to play status So when the new launcher became mandatory, and I was forced to upgrade, and I saw that “download huge update” button hanging there… I had a feeling similar to the OP: “J.H. Christ I’m tired of CCP creating gratuitious hoops for me to jump through”. And I wasn’t really interested in finding alternatives at that point. So I basically just said “Screw it!” and clicked the button, figuring that if it started a huge re-download I’d just interrupt it and toss EVE in the trash bin for a while. But like you, I just clicked the button and it plunked over to “Ready to Play”, no download. So yes, the “new improved” launcher has bugs and problems, and one of them appears to be that it gives the “massive download” message (and may even display the wrong download directory), even though the game is up to date and will work with one click. Just noting this for any other people who may see it: if you think your game is up to date just click and see if it works. OP: completely understand the frustration. If you head to friendlier climes and stay away, or decide you were just having a hair-tearing moment and re-install tomorrow, either way I wish you the best results. ---

No one should be leaving EVE because the game is malfunctioning. People should be leaving EVE because the smug Princess has just ganked thier Orca, or they had a DC while in a L5 Abyssal. The issue needs to be corrected. ---

> [@Kezrai\_Charzai](#): > > completely understand the frustration. If you head to friendlier climes and stay away, or decide you were just having a hair-tearing moment and re-install tomorrow, either way I wish you the best results Thank you very much. As I wrote before, I don’t know if or when I shall reinstall but I want to get things that stress, aggravate and frustrate me away from me. I’m ill, I have to go to the hospital every two weeks because one of my kidneys decided to die on me when I was a child and I only want to evade this ugly reality for a few hours a day. I thought EvE would help do that, like I enjoy offline games because they do that for me but in the case of online games I was wrong. ---
