hey,

the way it works now, (2 instances of the launcher are not allowed) with "old" links as startups is that I'm clicking eve #1, launcher starts, then start the eve client.

then start evelink #2, launcher starts again start 2. eve client.

fixed: turn launcher off in settings unless there is a patch recognized. you can now fire up multiple clients simultaneously as before curible 1.5

well i like the launcher feature but i got to turn it off unless i want to play farmfille to get in game.

whats the point of this ?
will we get some multi account support in the launcher?

cheers

Okay so I've tried all of this, under the EVE Launcher settings I have both of these checked.

[✔] Only display the launcher window when there is an update
[✔] Close the EVE Launcher after starting EVE Online

even created alternate shortcuts to the eve.exe start up but I'm still getting this.

While we appreciate your enthusiasm to try EVE, we would also appreciate if you could limit yourself to using a single trial or subscription accounts only.

I'm sure not going to pay money to reactivate my second account if I don't know for sure I'll be able to run them both.

I've already tried the junction method but it doesn't allow me to access the second created folder. Its like I've just created a ghost shortcut that goes nowhere and does nothing.

on singularity ive got no problem to run both accounts i own.
im starting via the same launcher instance and have to change username (and of course password) manually

on tranquillity atm im using 2 different folders, bound to 1 account each as i put them on 2 monitors with different resolution.

will these change mean, i cant start both launchers at the same time anymore from both folders? or this it mean as soon as an instance of eve is started i cant start another one? (wich i can as stated above)

/edit: thought i was in testserverfeedback.. maybe i dont understand whats the point
