Since today I cannot play eve on my Macbook Air M1 anymore.
The launcher seems to have connection issues. I uninstalled and reinstalled the launcher but the problem persists. With the new launcher I cannot even add any accounts to it. Login and Password work without a problem but after I enter the authorization code there is only a spinning circle and nothing else happens.
Checking the logs there are a ton of connection issues:

But then it seems to come good

I think the way the launcher is programmed is that it doesn’t let you ‘do’ anything until all the patches are downloaded. Its been a few weeks since I messed with it.
Also, due to EVE having some spectacular network fails ( like Cloudflare routing traffic from the UK, to the UK, via Amsterdam at 55 minutes past the hour for hours before the Nerds of the Internet backchannels a fix whilst CCP and the ISP were finger pointing ) I use a VPN to try and mitigate any bonehead network issues.
