Following countless reports from EVE Online users tonight, developer CCP has confirmed that the much-anticipated Trinity update to its popular space MMO contains a line of code that deletes the boot.ini file from Windows XP machines.
Windows XP will fail to load without a boot.ini file, requiring a boot disk to restore functionality. CCP has since removed the damaging patch from its servers.
Oops! That's bad, folks.
The EVE developers are aware of the problem and are working on it. Better wait until they patch this before updating.
