waste of time.
Especially when you can't "log off" when you use the launcher.

IMO 'launcher' is only useful for that 'patch notes' shortcut on it. and I only use that when i have to go through the aforementioned abomination of a process of 'patching'

tl;dr first world problems

Glad nobody else cares about this issue.

Perhaps I should elaborate?

1.Start eve via eve.exe instead of launcher.
2.There's a patch today, would you like to download? (y/n)
3.Hit yes.
4.Unable to download.
5.Close client.
6.Start Launcher.
7.Patches.
8.Close launcher.
9.start eve via eve.exe instead of launcher.
10.Log into game.

It used to basically skip 4-7, but now I have to do them manually. Wether someone else has this issue I don't know.
