true, you may also just wait until they offer a hotfix

Bingham_McSnuggles · September 26, 2018, 1:16am

yes it did Desktop unkunde$ cd EVE\ Launcher.app/

zluq_zabaa · September 26, 2018, 1:17am

good, so after pressing enter there, you are now “inside” the EVE Launcher.

type
“cd Contents/MacOs” (enter)
type “ls” and copy+paste the output

Unkundes-MacBook-Pro:MacOS unkunde$

zluq_zabaa · September 26, 2018, 1:20am

was that the output from “pwd” or “ls”? if from “ls”, can you copy+paste output from “pwd”?

pwd should now be like …EVE Launcher.App/Contents/MacOS

and ls shoudl give you “evelauncher” as the content of that folder

Bingham_McSnuggles · September 26, 2018, 1:27am

oh trollololol . i just tried to open my steam…get error message saying steam is not optimized for my OS…and now.it wont even do that anymore…just deosnt start at all …man i haaaaate this high sierra crap…

Priscilla_Williams · September 26, 2018, 1:29am

I think I may have thought of what may be the login screen problem…
This is just a launcher, right? Distinct from the full game data? Since I only ever had the game installed through Steam, not through the independent launcher, maybe the login screen can’t open right because the full game data doesn’t exist in the location/version it needs? The old launcher doesn’t download or install anything. (At least not visibly)

Bingham_McSnuggles · September 26, 2018, 1:33am

oh boy FML steam is not supported by sierra due to being 32bit…■■■■ this man, thx ccp for forcing me to upgrade to an OS i never wanted to use. now i cant play EVE and NO steam launcher anymore…arrrghhhhhhhh or better ■■■■ apple, for forcing new OS and give companies no time to adjust. theres a reason steve jobbs died of cancer…its called karma

zluq_zabaa · September 26, 2018, 1:33am

Yes this sounds like it could be. I’d be tempted to find out how and where Steams stores this stuff, then crank everything from the downloaded Launcher into the appropriate parts of the Steam folder structure… BUT this could just as likely make things worse.

Why log in via Steam and not just the regular Launcher btw?

There are also some independant EVE Launchers on github, but I never tried any of those out. They also work from the Terminal, need neither Steam nor the EVE Launcher, but I can’t really make any recommendations

zluq_zabaa · September 26, 2018, 1:34am

wait Steam is still 32 bit? wtf

this thread is from april, they should have published a 64 bit client for osx in end of july or so

Bingham_McSnuggles · September 26, 2018, 1:39am

delted old client, downloaded new clinet…nope no worky at all…

Bingham_McSnuggles · September 26, 2018, 1:44am

oh suddenly steam opened by itself, just took it 10 min to load or something …man thats weird.

Bingham_McSnuggles · September 26, 2018, 1:45am

Unkundes-MacBook-Pro:MacOS unkunde$ ./evelauncher -s

[warn] kq_init: detected broken kqueue; not using.: Undefined error: 0

Either launch the game from Steam, or put the file steam_appid.txt containing the correct appID in your game folder.

is what i get now when i use ./evelauncher -s, while steam is running

Priscilla_Williams · September 26, 2018, 1:46am

This is weird… I thought moving the old launcher into the steam directory sounded like a good idea, but in terminal, when I am in Application Support, it can’t see the Steam directory when I enter ls.

Aaaaand I just now realize that wouldn’t work anyway for other reasons… But it’s still weird? Terminal can’t see the steam directory?
