Fired up ExeFile.exe this morning at home, it updated the client, then insisted on updating the Launcher. Did so, the run EveO from the launcher. Looks like the issues I reported here have been resolved (launcher now works to actually LAUNCH the program, retains account names, etc). It did ask me to approve the EULA 3 out of five times, but whatever...

Also noted that when you "launch" a new account, it keep the old user still logged in. Might have to get used to that (spawning extra copies I didn't expect, but not worth complaining about).

Looks like the latest problem has been fixed (is that 3 days?).

Well I just updated mine and I still have to wait for it to check client files every time it starts.

I still cannot right click paste into the password box.

It doesn't log me straight in when I press the log in button.

It also forgot my account name from yesterday.

So still a long way to go. I just hope the journey will be worth it and single log in is all it's cracked up to be. Big smile

Use ExeFile.exe


But for how long?

It is already announced that this login method will be taken away in the near future.


And that is exactly the reason why the whole launcher business is such a pain in my sensible body parts. If it wasn't for the announcement to remove the in-game login screen, I would have trashed the launcher already and move to exefile right away.

But I am afraid that will not work for long.


Use it while it works.

Whatever people say, CCP are working on this.


Get off your ass and push to keep it working. Be useful for once. If it wasn't for this fall back 10k's of customers would have been screwed over (in some cases continuing to be) for the past two days.

CCP!! WAKE UP!!!!! THIS IS NOT, I REPEAT,NOT FUNNY ANYMORE!!!!!!!!!!!


TRYING TO START THE GAME WITH THE LAUNCHER LET'S THE LAUNCHER DO AN UPDATE AGAIN; IN WHICH THE LAUNCHER AGAIN "FORGETS" ALL USER ACCOUNT DATA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PLUS IT "FORGETS" ALL USER SETTINGS, EVEN AFTER RESTARTING THE LAUNCHER FOR THREE TO FIVE TIMES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ONLY SOLUTION IS TO LAUNCH THE EXE FILE FROM THE BIN FOLDER!!!!

IF THE GAME WON'T START CORRECTLY AFTER THE PATCH ON JUNE 4TH, AFTER WHICH AS SCUTTLEBUTT SAYS THE LOGIN WILL BE VIA LAUNCHER ONLY, PREPARE FOR A REALLY BAD PRESS:::

NO WAS I AM GOING TO ADVICE ANY OF MY FRIENDS TO CREATE AN EVE ACCOUNT.

REASON: CCP IS GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS BLIZZARD.... INTO OBLIVION...


if they remove the exefile way of logging in on June 4th and this new launcher still isnt sorted, Eve will officially be dead as far as my accounts are concerned.



EVE would loose 50% of their users over night and the rest would drop out in the month after due to boredom since there'd be no skilled players left. I'd definitely leave if the exe-option were to disappear.

Any Time frame on a revamp for multiple account players



This is the launcher that makes all of us punch babies.......

Seriously, this is the worst experience since ........ well WoW.....

A definite time frame would put my anger to rest.

Thanks.

You have to wonder why any company would force through a change like this so close to another MAJOR change to the game......

unless of course the Odyssey Patch has elements that actually require this Launcher SSO configuration to work ......

in which case, we may have a Launcher that doesnt work, that is responsible for adding in any major content patches that it has so far managed to make a mess of handling, that then may not be fully functional in time for the next even larger content patch on 4th of June.........

I have a bad feeling about this.


Follow me:

1) Rabid need to deploy this piece of crook. Why?

2) It makes us see no fancy awesome log in screen any longer.


Deduction:

CCP to save on money never designed and coded a log in screen for Odyssey so now they MUST push this steaming pile on us, otherwise they can't deliver the "expansion" in time as it lacks hundreds of man hours worth of a new log in screen.

Updated new launcher still leaves zombie Launcher.exe processes open in Windows XP. Still slow, still... everything

Constructive Feedback? Ok here-

1) In honour of your new Single Sign On protocol, I suggest you change your name from CCP to SSO
-Oh, that means Sony's Sockpuppets Online

2) Since you don't listen to anyone anyway, I suggest you form your own city in Iceland so you don't have to follow any Reykjavik policies or pay them taxes.
- Might I suggest you name it Borkjavik in honour of your stellar patch history?

3) The New Sony Sockpuppets Online corp based in Borkjavik, Iceland should adopt this as it's corporate Logo:
- New Corporate Logo

There. Three constructive ideas and only 2 criticisms. Does that count as constructive ffedback?

If you're not running as an Admin-equivalent user, you might consider granting your user Write privs on the Program Files\CCP (or whatever it's now called) folder (if you're using Windows directly). If you're using Mac or running from Steam, I can't offer any suggestions.

Even as Admin the launcher only saves 1 username, it doesnt allow you to scroll down to the relevent name and then input the pw.

Can you tell me some about your environment? This errorcode means that the response from the server was empty. Can you supply us with the logs from the Launcher, found under launcher\cache in your EVE installation and hopefully the debug.log in the root of your EVE install.

If possible, could you provide me with the Launcher logs from the launcher\cache folder in your EVE installation and if one exists, the debug.log found in the root of your EVE installation.

If the browser isn't saving the usernames I need those logs to be able to work out why; is it a permissions issue, some weird misconfiguration or an environment issue. If you don't want to post the logs publicly, then please file a bug report.

I'm wondering if there are now user rights issues that weren't looked at (or even considered) in the file changes CCP made for the "new" launcher. I run as admin-equivalent on Win8 laptop here and Win8 desktop at home *not* thru Steam, and both were remembering all account names I had logged into since the update from this morning. With this config I haven't seen any problems *yet* today. Blink

i'll do a bug report because looking at the length of the launcher log file, i'll get banned for flooding if i post all that in here. Big smile

Quick update:

I noticed that if you have the "Close the Eve Launcher" checkbox selected in the Launcher it will not remember the credentials you logged in with if it wasn't already saved. Clear that checkbox, re-launch the Launcher, and try a different, unsaved account name. It should save it at that point.
