The popular space based massively multiplayer (MMORPG) game, EVE-Online, has released a major new free update to its community, introducing a huge graphics overhaul and many additional changes.

Unfortunately the update, which was supposed to have been a celebration of the games continued success, has flopped because one of the updates would wipe the boot.ini file on Microsoft Windows based machines:


The boot.ini file typically holds some key boot settings and most crucially the locations of any installed Windows operating systems, without it many users have found themselves unable to fully restart their PC's.

Naturally the offending update has been removed until it can be fixed. Further advise is being handed out here, although those that have been affected probably aren't able to read it.
