EVE General Discussion

I'm not really liking this thing. However, it could be made lovable.

Make the Launcher customizable, by allowing us to 'add' multiple accounts or installations to the launcher.
Clicking on one of the several 'account launcher' buttons, will launch a client in a pre-specified monitor/resolution, allowing us to launch several accounts all from the same launcher.

I can no longer just doubleclick on my Main and Alt icons on the desktop without getting errors about trying to run the launcher multiple times from the same folder.

I have symlinked the folder (so its technically the same folder but located in different directories in the filesystem, as recommended by eve's multi client setup guide)

Here here, with so many players running multiple accounts i find it incredulous that the launcher did not support this outa the box. Very annoying having to close the launcher after running the game too.

Thanks for the feedback .

Hate it! It awoke the rage I put to bed months ago. Get that Fin thing off my screen.


Do we have an update everyday or is my launcher broke?

I just got to ask out of my own interest (not because i think launcher is broked) but do you guys have a dedicated QA/Testing team? or do all the devs of a particular team jump on bored with the bug hunting in house?

I actually like the launcher. I don't really see what all the fuss is about.

Already it seems CCP is patching more frequently, which is a good thing too.

This could mean that the future is wide open! On the other hand it could mean there is no future...

Seriously though, devs should realize that Windows comes with a perfectly adequate DEFAULT BROWSER setting. I hate it when launchers force you to use one particular browser (usually IE) instead of the browser you have already told the OS you want to be used as default.

I've tested this on two windows 7 machines now (both 64 bit) both have the same issue of opening blank windows if the default browser is IE 9.

CCP: Doing It Their Own Way

I'm seeing the new launcher as Incarna-revisited all over again. CCP had some pie-in-the-sky idea about designing a new nifty launcher that would install updates and patches, but also do these really cool things called X, Y, and Z. After some extended development period, it turned out that the developers were struggling with the implementation of X, Y and Z, so they released the launcher that accomplished what the old system had accomplished. Since the old system worked for everyone, and this new system does not, one can safely call the new launcher a failure at release.

Why is CCP releasing technology that does nothing more that what was currently implemented? Have a goal, release the goal. If you're going to give us a new launcher, we, as players, should immediately be able to see why you've thrown money and developers at the solution. I don't think there are any players who understand why this new launcher needs to exist, in its current state of development.

Since the old system worked for everyone, and this new system does not, one can safely call the new launcher a failure at release.

If you see the new launcher as Incarna and see a few small hiccups in a new launcher as a failure. I have to question if you are trolling or just hate CCP that much.

Because it works fine for the VAST majority of people and many of the issues for others have been fixed. Some of the others are outside of CCP hands completely (People not understanding the changes some anti-malware does to a computer) And it working for the vast majority now means faster and smaller updates allowing feedback on smaller changes that arent compressed in with a big update.

That is what is called a success!
