Indeed... I patched two systems and rebooted one because of lag. Unfortunately, it didn't come backup so I had to recover the boot.ini file from a backup. Checked the other system and it was missing there as well. After restoring the boot.ini and doing a search, the only other boot.ini file I could find was C:\Program Files\CCP\Eve\boot.ini.

I read that vista doesn't use boot.ini anymore... Has anyone had issues with Vista not booting?
edit: wild...boot.ini is in the above stated folder ^^. I wonder if this is causing issues! |

Yes, I applied the premium patch and now my windows boot.ini file is gone. The patch appears to delete it during the patching process instead of EVE's boot.ini.
First three lines of patch details:
Output folder: C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
Delete file: \boot.ini
Extract: boot.ini... 100%
What's up with that!? |

I just searched with Find, msconfig, and "attrib" under C:\ root. No boot.ini. I'm not kidding. |

I knew this patchday couldn't go off without a hitch!
And yes system restore fixes it, if you can even get to system restore.

Attrib -H -R -S C:\Boot.ini

Just did system restore myself which gave me boot.ini back, but of course hosed my EVE installation so now I get to re-download the whole thing. Seriously CCP... how did something this serious get past QA? |
