EVE ONLINE ISK:Eve Online update FUBARs gamers' PCs

     EVE ONLINE, "the world's largest game universe", seems to have released a "premium" update that's done a pretty fair job of tiggering a lot of its members' PC systems.

     It's hard to figure out exactly what's happening, but forum posts report that the update is either deleting the Windows boot.ini file or replacing it with the Eve Online boot.ini file. There's also a report of a Windows "dll" file gone missing.

     Even as we write this, many Eve Online members are struggling to recover their Windows installations from the consequences of what at the moment appears to be the game vendor's monumental screwup.

     If you can stand small white text on dark backgrounds, there's more about all this here and here.
