CCP Devs will probably read this and instantly either block it or remove the described facility so my guess is it will be time dependent.


The day they remove that will be the day my 2nd account gets unsubbed unless they vastly improve the new launcher to cater for multi-account users.

Logging in multiple account has become a lot more of a hassle with this patch. Please rethink this strategy.

I find the new launcher slow and sluggish.

Good god what a failure this new launcher is.

More issues with the launcher / client interaction:

- When getting booted at downtime, the "Restart" button does not restart the client anymore.

- When trying to get back in quickly, waiting for downtime to end, the launcher has a grey'd out PLAY button and one cannot start the actual client from the launcher.

- When firing up the launcher for an alt account that is linked to the original install, we have to use the switch user button and retype the alt account's username instead of it being saved.

Way to go with removing a lot of convenience guys - never-mind the entirely fail roll-out yesterday and inability for the launcher to ignore website issues.

EDIT: One more fail - I can't fire up more than one instance of the launcher to wait on TQ to come up with all my accounts at one time.

After repair, all my settings are gone, I can connect only with bin, and my settings are back to normal!!!!!!!

I'm tired of trying to solve all these problems, so CCP fix it quickly, because it's been a while since I'm tired of all the changes not always nice....let us our game clean please!!! Cry

don't need "solution for settings which may or may not work" and "if your so kind as to be part of our beta test then maybe we will get things kinda right fix"- i need this useless rubbish rolled back.....start listening to the people who pay your wage!!!

Why in the hell did your update reset all my settings?


BECAUSE WINDOWS IS WHY.

Confirming that restarting launcher and client fixes stuff.


It fixes my arse.

Now all my ships don't show the Invulnerability field animation any more (besides the other lost settings), even if I put all graphics effects to maximum, even if I restart, even if I reboot. It's just GONE.

On my XP, the launcher also does not shut down correctly when closing it. You have to kill the processes (yeah, more than one) manually.

I think at this point it is pretty obvious that no QA was done regarding the new launcher. Given its crucial role in starting the game, I cannot help myself thinking that this is a bad sign in total for the software development process at CCP.

I feel kinda sorry for them. I have been playing EvE for more than 6 years now. There were some problems here and there, but, except for the boot.ini fail, the launcher fail exceeds them all in "unnecessarily stupid". EvE is a great game and I hope it stays that way.

So CCP, I hope you guys learned something from all of this and try to improve the QA and unrolling process in order to avoid more fails like these in the future.



XP user here, and indeed as stated above i do too get TWO launchers in memory when running it and despite telling the launcher to close after launching game, it keeps LOADED in memory, TWO times, wasting me about 150mb RAM+150mb SwapRAM...

So after checking this twice, changed the access route to bypass and avoid the launcher, by going to Exefile.exe... sorry CCP , but No Launcher will be used here until it gets improved , in either way (yet by fixing the remain-loaded issue, or going back to 'previous' launcher system).

The launcher is still unusable here. As the launcher starts up, it validates my client (step 1), creates patch files (step 2), and gets 100% of the way through applying the patch (step 3). Then it just stops at 100% and won't go any further. The "Play" button is greyed out after I type in my account details.

Dear CCP,

you may claim to have fixed this issue but in fact it is not fixed for all users. Probebly only those running widows can use your client, but those running linux sure a shell can nnot run the game trough the launcher becouse the login part of the launcher simply does not show and stays blank.

It would be nice to know what resources you are using now, that you have not used before (like specialised fonts) so we can install these to get the game working we pay you so dearly for.

Telling linux users to use windows will get lots of laughter, but yeah.....


I run windows and launcher simply does not work. The only time I got ingame today I had to restart my pc over and over and finally it worked (once and only once). I got logged out and now it is impossibl e to login.

Could you please file a bug report and attach the EVE Launcher logs that should be under the launcher\cache folder in your EVE installation?

Sorry, but an error occured while processing your request.

The repair tool fixed that.
I wonder why there isn't a big button to launch this repair tool when an error occur.

[edit]
I'm using steam by the way. When the launcher work, it work great :)
