EVETycoon crashing due to CCP borked API

Basically, with Incursion, CCP for whatever reason, started adding in carriage returns to their character CSV export from the API.

Instead of having a nice, properly formatted csv line, EVETycoon is trying to parse this mess:

011-04-24 12:45:00,4246641101,Planetary Construction,Mark Hamill,CONCORD,Planet IV,-250000.00,4424711487.48,”Construction on EveLocation ID: 40344524, “”Planet IV”":
1 x Gas Storage Facility

“,,

No, that’s not word wrap.  That’s carriage returns in a CSV.  Huge bork.

Until this is resolved by them, ET may crash when using the character or corp api features.

If it does, you’ll have to go into a hidden directory:  C:\users\user name\appdata\roaming\EVETycoon and delete any file that begins with a Char or Corp.  Once you restart ET, it should work fine.

Sorry for the inconvenience.  As soon as they fix it, it’ll work again.  Until that time, trying to get character or corp API information MAY cause it to crash again.  Not all of the data in the exports is affected.  It appears that only things added or changed (like deleting PI extractors and getting refunded) to the journal since Incursion are a problem.
