The EVE Online Trinity update is live, bringing with it an all-new graphics engine, new features, and the death of your Windows XP boot.ini file. It's okay! The file is only necessary if you want your computer to start. Apparently a faulty version of the updater slipped out that worked great across the board, with the exception of Windows XP - one of the most widely used PC operating systems in the world. You know you've got trouble when you have to issue an alert that starts like this:

Check the root directory of your hard drive and see if you have a boot.ini file.

Having worked tech support for six years, I nearly peed myself laughing after reading this. CCP will have a new version of the updater available shortly. So how does something like this slip past testing? Was the new update was just so compelling that not one tester ever rebooted? Maybe it's time for another free 14-day trial!

ALERT: READ THIS IF YOU INSTALLED TRINITY BEFORE 4 A.M. GMT [EVE Online - Thanks Ralph!]
