This new launcher is amazing, I love it!

I only wish there was an option to select on wich screen you want to launch the game if you have mulitple screens.
I know you can do it now by launching the desired account with different settings, but it is a bit of a hassle to set it up.

But besides that I am really happy with this and will keep using this beta launcher for now!

dear devs, please move the settings files...specifically had to figure out how to use the /lua thingy as i have many computers and they get rebuilt often and having to redo my settings every time just...makes me wanna quit the game entirely. save in the game shared cash. or add an Option to save in the shared cash. or save it on the server. or basically anything but what it is...

I had the incompatible build error just occur upon trying to log in today 8/10/15 for the first time (a minute ago). Kept repeating after multiple launcher restarts until I ran the launcher as "administrator". Win 10x64


Yeah, I was running into the same thing on my home machine with Win 10. Running the launcher as administrator fixed it.

Totally agree, this is on our to-do list. The current list of available settings was quickly hard-coded for testing purposes.

Bare in mind that the settings are stored in files on your computer, so "Setting 1" on your PC is not the same as on your laptop, unless you configured the EVE client the same on both PCs.

Re: multiple monitors, I have all my accounts use separate settings. This preserves the chosen monitor (and also I can have things like for account 3 I can use settings 5 for monitor 2, and settings 6 to put the client on the TV).

So multiple monitors work great as long as you use separate settings.

Re: importing, you just copy the settings files from your existing client settings location in appdata\local\ccp\eve, and copy to the new folder in the same location.

If you currently run all accounts from the same client install, to preserve monitor settings etc you will have to go into the client settings save location in the above location, and copy the appropriate core_char_[char-ID].dat, and core_user_[account-ID].dat files to the new settings folder which the launcher makes.


So basically the launcher works brilliantly for managing multiple monitor settings with multiple accounts, you just might have to do a little prep work.

I can't see myself going back to the old launcher at all now - the new one is just so great and means I can actually get rid of all my other EVE client installs as well. Great work CCP this is awesome.


I just wish the multiple monitors would work better with window mode. Windows never remember location, if they were maximized, or even what monitor they were on.

Great Launcher Big smile At last can launch two or more accounts side by side easily. Also like being able to download complete client from launcher.

Running two accounts side by side became more difficult with the download as you play update.

Also like the ability to switch EVE servers easily from the launcher.

Yes as other have asked please bring back the news feature.

I have as yet not experienced any bugs with it.

Great keep it up Big smile

Prob Double post if so i'm sorry,

But what i would like to see is when i set-up 1 client (Settings 1) with all the right settings i can use that profile on all the other clients. (really not looking forward to set them all up again 1by1)

Also it would be nice if it could see on what monitor i closed a specific account and when you start that account up again it would automatically go to that screen again.

I run my clients in windows mode but then i click double on the bar so it will go max size, would be nice if it can see that and remember that

This is what i would like to see happening in the new launcher.
It already awesome but it could improve more, keep up the good work!!

Suggestion: Add tooltips for all.

At present I have no idea what setting 1 - 12 etc means and there is no help that I can find for them.

When will it be possible or is it possible now to have all my toons get the same UI settings? I had a play but I had no luck setting the UI on one toon and trying to get the others the same when logging.

I think this launcher is a big step in the right direction. But it is still a pain having to go and set up the UI on every single toon on updates or if something happens and one is required to clear the cache. It really is a game killer.

Would welcome options for exporting / importing settings between computers. Mainly my industry settings such as the annual death toll and position of windows, Overview and similar for the help transfer one file with written paremetrami.

So far i love the ability to log on both accounts at same time, but the slight problem i see is and it may be no big thing is there is a 5 to 10 sec delay when i tab between the two accounts, when i log on to them each on the old launcher, i have insta change between screens no black screen lag. if in a battle or such 5 to 10 secs can mean death to a ship. Just though i would let you know. Keep up the good work

EVE time is good idea +1.
Also could show that messages and notifications counters as in here forums (would open in web browser of course)
And if possible next or some upcoming calendar events.
