"Unexpected Error" when trying to launch client.
« on: 15 Oct 2012, 10:48 »
So, I got back home and was just about to check things in EVE when I was cut short by the following message a few seconds after clicking eve on my desktop:

Eve Online Launcher Exception

An unexpected error occured
Please try to restart the launcher or run the repair tool (repair.exe located in your EVE directory)

Could anyone tell me what's gone wrong? I'm attempting to find the repair tool as well, but no luck, anyone know where to find it?

...ahah. So I'm not the only one dealing with this.

I HAD been using a quickfix of starting the launcher while disconnected from the internet; when the normal error box of "cannot reach the server" popped up, I'd tell it to start the EVE client directly (without going through the launcher, where the issue appears to be). With a new patch coming tomorrow, however, I suspect I'm going to have to just re-download the EVE client.

In my case, at least, the issue appears to have been triggered by dealing with a network which, while publicly accessible, redirects all traffic to a browser-based logon page. One day I accidentally started the launcher before authenticating myself in a browser. It appears that CCP coded the launcher for two situations - it cannot connect to a network at all, or it can successfully reach the server. That it could connect to a network but be redirected instead of reaching the server was not coded for, thus causing this error. Annoyingly, the client then became stuck attempting to contact the authentication server, even while my PC was literally plugged into the wall instead of connected wirelessly.

I like the implications of Gallentians being punched in the face by walking up to a Minmatar as they so freely use another person's culture as a fad.

I wouldn't say the error was unexpected.
