eve trinity patch kills Windows

[[gh]Spurty]

Sad but true!

Windows OS that use boot.ini get nailed if your game is installed to the same drive as the boot.ini lives on.

The reason being a typo in the patching software.

It deletes a file named 'boot.ini' which is part of the EVE install. However, it deletes \boot.ini which points to the root folder.

What this means is that if you reboot, windows doesn't know where to look for the OS.

Bit of an Epic cock up

Doesn't affect Vista, Mac or Linux Clients though

Oh and shiney new ships and things

I wish more of you guys were able to see how deep EVE is and play it.

lol yah and EVE isn't a game for the weak of stamina.

Takes 6 months to a year to get into the seriously fun ships. You can only speed things up by buying an old character (Perfectly reasonable).

In EVE, to learn all the skills in the game to level 5 (highest), you have to play for 36 years now. This is not a light weight game and to learn all the ins and outs is going to take you at least a year if even you play for a couple of hours a night.

Don't bother starting if you plan to give up in a week. Takes a month just to do the learning skills. Having said all that, if its too much bother for you to log in and change skills, I'll do it for you if you pay the subs.
