Googling around I found someone in a forum with the exact same problem:

http://www.eve-search.com/thread/1030300/page/1

Problem is he just mentions he solved it with WinRar and moves on... I've tried changing the .exe extension to .rar to no avail, it won't run. How else am I supposed to get WinRar to extract the client from the .exe?

If you have winrar, you can right click on the big 2 gig file you downloaded and select "Extract Files...". Then you can choose where to extract it to. I haven't tried running the installer that it extracts, but that may do it.

System specs? Windows 7, 4GB RAM, 160 GB hard drive partitioned in a OS/Storage way (20/140), ATI Mobility video card with 256MB, Core Duo processor.

The support link you both posted doesn't seem to apply to my case, though... am I missing something? The only mention they have to "not enough space" is

Failed installs can also be due to your harddrive not having enough free space, check this before continuing.

I checked, dammit, I KNOW where I have space and I don't.. stupid help page.

Alright, I'll try right clicking and extracting, to see if the result works.

It finally finished extracting. You should get 2 files, a setup file and an archive. I ran the setup and it started OK. I don't want it installed on this PC, so I didn't go any further.

Do you have Steam? Since Steam has its own install process, you should be able to point its download/install area to your storage partition, then install the free EvE "demo" (which is the full-size game with a 14 day credit), and then just add the buddy code for an (I think) additional 21. The only reason to actually buy the client is to take advantage of an offer, if they have one running.

If you don't have Steam (and don't otherwise intend to), you may not want to do it this way, but that's another option which should work, I think.

I don't have Steam, no (i've always thought it's a pay-to-game service?) but Shakey's option seems to have done the trick... it's now succesfully extracting the files, so it seems it worked. Let's see if the installation itself goes without a hitch, but I don't see why it shouldn't.

I think we're in business gentlemen :D I'll keep you posted.

Look for me tonight.

My name will either be Daverondol or my new guy from last night (I just created him)....


TURBO NIHSEN!!!

Yup. I'm now a multi-boxer.

Daverondol will be mining/industrial.

Turbo will be PvP and PvP only. He'll never do anything but train combat shit.

There was an EvE interest thread over on GITP so I threw up a post pimping HAL Industries with a link to this thread and telling them to contact Hellkyte, Straker, or myself in-game for more information. Hopefully we'll be seeing a mix of new players and more experienced ones looking to get back into the game coming our way.

Maybe it's BECAUSE you call me Susan that I have used "gentlemen"...once. Ever.

Alright, I'm in, I've launched the game and completed the "crash course" up to the "career management" guides thingie... but decided to stop there because a) I have a few things to do today and b) The tutorial is telling me to join a corporation and thought I should talk to one of you guys before that.

A few questions though... how crashy will it get if I play windowed? Is there anyway to configure the camera in a way that when I'm attacking something it doesn't go round and round and I lose sight of the target and eventually want to vomit?

My character's name is Kahyehha (fucking stupid name, I know, but I was palying around with phonograms and accidentally created it without finishing that.. oh well)... there's only one "server" (WoW equivalent at least) right?

Everyone is on the same server farm. Playing windowed is how I do it because I have 2 games open - one on each monitor.

If you want to join Hal Industries, go to People & Places -> Search for Hal Industries (making sure you are searching for corporation) -> at the bottom there's a button to Request to Join.

And as to camera angle....You'll want to keep looking around with the mouse. Keep watching the little icons on the sides of the screen that show things are in whatever direction. The main problem people have is they think in 2D but things can come at you from any direction.

Alright so... what's next? What does the corporation need me to become... or anything's fine? Tips on how to proceed? Should I hire an assistant to play this thing for me? (wow there's a lot to do)


With the camera I meant the constant... turning and turning of it during the 2 mnor battles I had during the tutorial. The tutorial thingie tells you to "orbit" your enemy and then just fire at it... but then it just goes round and round and round and round and :puke:

Do whatever you want. Right now we have a lot of miners but if that's what you want to do then do it. It'll just make us more money.

Tips: Get online when Straker, Necronic, Ferahgo or Tway is on. These guys know their shit. I've only been introduced to mine. It just wants to be friends.

I'm starting to do the Exploration carrer guide mission tree---- thing. The mission is to build 2 afterburners, but it won't let me cause I need the "necessary industry skill"... how do I get that? How do I know WHAT I need to get?

This IS a bit confusing...

If you show info on the blueprint, it should tell you what skill you need. Most of the time in the tutorial, they provide you with the skill you need, otherwise you need to buy it.

Exploration takes patience, but seems fun. I may head in that direction after building my mining skills a bit.

Hey crone, we'll have that app processed asap. Promise. Tried to bring you in and got a notice saying I have maxed my corp capacity out. I'm training the skill to allow more members in right now, should have it....in 4 hours or so. We'll bring you on then.

2 rules for the new members.

1) Don't talk shit.
2) Don't talk shit.

Hey Necro I just tried adding Crone to the corp before I left for work this morning and it was still giving me the "20 members max" message. I think there's some kind of setting you need to change in the corp panel in order to increase its size after you finish training your skill.

ok, I'll look into that when I get off of work tonight. Also, I've booted 2 of the inactive members (Lord Rendar's first character and Feragho's alt.)

Glad to see we're still pulling in new members. Picked up one from the eve online forums yesterday. Hopefully we'll get some interest from the OOTs board as well, and I put some recruiting stuff into another forum (that shall go unnamed) that I used to be active in.

For evemon and the mac thing, there are some similar apps out there for os x, but in case you have it a linux distro should also work for EvE mon(wine is the example i have seen). Or you could....I don't know....get a real computer. Although, if you have an iPhone there is an app called "Capsuleer" that may give you some of what you want.
