So CCP putting the wrong date up on launcher window must give you Mac users a lot of confidence in them fixing the issue 😵

It’s not going to launch until they’ve re-built it, tested, and released it.

Not a 30 minute job,

I am a new mac user and a new eve player and I am affected by this, I thought my game cache was broken so I reinstalled steam/eve, as I couldn’t tell if it was the game client or steam/macOS causing the issue as regular windows players logged in fine after the update. Very confusing for me, but I guess it is a learning experience.

Always check the forums and/or Twitter first, before reinstalling. 🙂

Good advice, I will heed for the future, I had already began uninstalling steam/eve as I thought it was my own issue, the game launcher didn’t have a macos notification/warning until about 1.5 hours in. I will just log off and wait. No complaints from me, I am a new player so I didn’t think to check the forums.

Albeit the issue is PITA of course, I just congrats the CCP teams for reactivity, openness and communication management - rarely saw that in other games/editors from my humble point of view.  
Hope it will be fixed soon of course - need making ISK for sure and each hour we can’t, that’s a torture …

May Bob be with the CCP dev/fix team! 🙂 )

Solved my problem. I remembered that my PC had “turned overnight” and I restarted it. For some reason the s.o only started downloading the new version after this restart. Before even deleting the cache had not worked.
