Ok, when I today patched up EVE and saw the new launcher, well ok I thought, whatever they want to do, but then...

...then I tried to play, and that was A PAIN!

pre "New Launcher": me clicks EVE.exe 10 times to put up 10 clients, so I can logg in all those accounts

post "New Launcher": click EVE.exe more than once, and get an error, wait for launcher to load, then click "Play" once, wait until the launcher is responsive again and the first instance loaded, then click "Play" again and repeat this tedious procedure FOR EVERY CLIENT that I want to load!

INTERNS, they have all their coding done by INTERNS, while the real devs are drunk and ****** !!!


*snip*
Pretty please!


(and thanks to CCP for again and again wasting my time with implementing "upgrades", "addons" and "improvements" !!!)
(...and saving a lot of money with selling these as real ones)

Please do not bypass the filter nor solicit third party applications on the official Eve Online Forums.

Thank you,

Start the client, in the launcher, go to the options menu by clicking on the spanner in top right.

select the options that dont use the launcher and to only use it when a patch is available.

That way, your shortcuts go directly into eve.


Or, you could try just launching the ExeFile.exe itself and making a shortcut to it.

you know we had like a month of testing for feedback.

CCP made blogs on why they have to go this way as well.

I also thought this was the case at first.




Settings > 'Only Launch When Patch Available'




Problem solved.

It took me the same amount of time to log in as it always does.

I am glad CCP came up with yet another way to punish button spammers. They are a scourge.

internet spaceships

are serious business sir.

You could just hit the play button 10 times....

Do not argue with an idiot. He will drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

A small minority of Eve's players are inconvenienced by the new launcher and all of a sudden the sky is falling.

You asked me once, what was in Room 101. I told you that you knew the answer already. Everyone knows it. The thing that is in Room 101 is the worst thing in the world.

Yeah you'd think the whole point of the launcher is to handle all your patching for you in one step

is the patch really this big or is the launcher just this slow?

I'll state it here once again.

This is a step fowards.

A step backwards would be having a game client that doesnt know there is a patch avilable, tells you that the server is available and will not connect and will do this when the next patch to fix your client isnt even available and a full client install took them a week to compile.

You have no idea how much more of a PITA eve client used to be.

as other people put it,

Launch done patching.

Instead of

launch oh there's a patch, tell okay to patch. close eve. patch eve. restart eve. having to forcefully restart eve becuase its wrong pathname from watch patcher assumes.
Oh theres another patch repeat until caught up with all hot fixes.

Same here.

Also, what possible reason is there to not let us have the eyesore minimise to the system tray? If I want Eve "news" I know where to find it. Same goes for account management and buying PLEx.

No, your rights end in optimal+2*falloff
