Stop for the love of God CCP, stop. Not only did I have to deal with the launcher not working the other day now I have to deal with today's launcher update that deletes all my settings such as my graphic choices & overview settings as well as ship fittings.

The launcher is a total waste of time & you have been told this numerous times from the community. I luckily have backed my settings up to copy and paste into my folder but if I had to make my overview again just because you insit on trying to make me use a pointless launcher I'd be raging twice as hard.

I have since deleted the launcher so I suggest you make sure that you continue to patch directly through the client as you have been doing. The launcher has provided nothing but un-needed hassle for players if you stop providing updates directly via client then I and many others will simply stop playing eve.

All you have to do to reset all your settings is close the client and launcher and reopen.

I do miss the loading screen though :(

Before you do however, please contract all your assets to me. Also, couldn't you have posted in one of the other hundred threads about the new launcher?

The only pointless thing I see is this thread.

Yeah and it's especially nice to have to figure this stuff out for yourself rather than the garbage launcher restarting the client. Upgraded my ass...no QA = poopware.

Bugs, like crap forum posts, happen.

It's as if the launcher is a solution to a problem that does not exist. True there are a lot of tards at CCP who like solving problems that don't exist & that's fine as long as it does not actually create problems. Sadly the launcher does create problems while trying to solve a problem that never existed in the first place. CCP must have too much money on it's hand to pay people to develop useless software.

Personally, I find it refreshing. A launcher that needs a IQ that is higher than single digits to operate might be a good thing for EVE. It weeds out the "I FAIL AT COMPUTER" crowd.

Why spend the two minutes setting up a shortcut to the executable when you can spend twenty typing up a pointless rant :P

Stop the 'New Topic' button abuse.

Every day, hundreds of poor threads are created, only to be abandoned and then locked by the ISDs. You alone can stop this thread abuse. For only .50 ISK a day, less than the price of a cup of coffee, you can help solve this problem of bad thread overpopulation. Please, spay or neuter your thread by first using the 'Search' function, and give your gripe a good home by adding it to one of the numerous other threads still in existence about this same subject.

Since the cessation of their usefulness is imminent, may I appropriate your belongings?

Some launchers need a Java update. If all else fails. Defenestrate.
