Everytime I open the launcher it runs an update to a newer version. However the update never “sticks”. See screenshots - any idea why this happens? I am on Mac. The game works fine. ![31%20PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/9/7/97fe4d4d80b8decef97b3efa2d96fc56a4cdc744.jpeg) ![01%20PM](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/d/c/dc20f6f43a1cb3c45b5f28f14c59ac762d9a9ad0.png) ---

What happens for you AFTER the download reaches 100%? For me on Windows it asks to press OK / Cancel whether to install the new binary. And after OK it installs and does a hidden recheck of the resource file cache. But bottom right corner shows the new “Launcher: 1434482:3104” which makes me assume the update was successful ---

For me the dialog closes and I am still on the same version as I was before. Hence I believe the update was downloaded but not applied - if that makes sense. I can launch the game and play but I presume the updates to the launcher have a purpose. ---

My mac is the same - stuck on launcher 1387204 and the update cannot apply. ---

I have launcher version 1434482 on my iMac. Until yesterday it was working fine. When I started it yesterday, it said there was a new launcher version and proceeded to download the update. When it finished, I clicked “ok”. The launcher crashed. So I restarted it. When it finished updating, I clicked “ok”. It crashed. So I did it again. This time I clicked “cancel”. It crashed. So I did it again. This time I let the timer run out. No crash, but it did not actually update. It’s still version 1434482. What now, CCP? ---
