EVE Information Portal

I was. I ended up reinstalling 969236 that was linked in the OP and had set it to Release, which worked. But...
At some point in the jumping back and forth between versions, it had downloaded the update to 973659 and wanted to update to it regardless of the version I was on. Finally, I let it update again from 969236 to 973659 and it's now working.



When a launcher update is downloaded, where is it stored?

A small UI opinion for the MOTD postition:

There's a better spot for it if it comes in from the left and stays in the middle left section of the launcher. The current spot is the bottom left and covers the banners and such.

More specifically, let the motd follow the same flow as the Feedback and Bug Report buttons, but of course the same original (Motd) size.

No bugs for me, and good work.

What a great upgrade, no problems so far,

Are you planning to develop the ability to clone settings between accounts or characters as part of this launcher

Please, add confirmation for REMOVE button. This button very close to PLAY button and sometimes... Indent will be good solution too.

I'm curious as to why you removed the nice little feature that let you see which account would open on which screen and added another button to be clicked before logging in multiple clients.

Was it simply - how it was just worked and so wasn't good enough - So had to make it less obvious and require more clicks



I do wonder sometimes who if the person thinking up this shite even considers those who have to use it.

Then we have; Where 4 of the 5 location options for getting settings (if that's what they are) DON'T EXIST. So I am stuck with 1 option for settings for 7 clients and 11 alts. Prior to the new launcher, I was able to set my clients up how I chose - Different overviews, different window placement, different neocoms, etc. Now they are all the same.
No amount of moving and changing things makes a difference, upon next restart all clients are the same again.

My miners don't need a pvp overview. I have no idea where the settings wee saved previously but it certainly wasn't in the generic "Eve" folder.

NB; If your designing a new feature - Don't add complexity - Simple is great.

Is there a way I can save individual instance setting so next time they have to be imported, I can use them. The Generic Eve folder doesn't help.

- beacause that was not nice

Already in the launcher, click on the E in the upper left corner, hit client settings and rename target folders. :)

bug 1

Damn, half an hour of playing with that strange bug : a white windows appear with either "test" or "connector" appearing :
Steps to reproduce
- Client must be in windowed mode
- launch the launcher
- launch an account client, it opens not maximizes, MAXimize it with windows control
- connect a character
- alt+tab to something else or the launcher and double clic, the client comes back on top, still maximized
- MINimize it
- go to launcher and double clic.

not bugged: when doing that from process windows

now the fun part, if you close the white windows and do it again, after 2 or 3 close, you get your client back, maximized
if you Mininize the white windows and doublclic a 2nd white windows appears, reduce, doublcic again
the client comes back, but this time it is "restored" = orginal size

after that all is gone to hell, each double clic on the launcher does something different, mainly "restoring" wihch is annoying :
windows 8 and 7 : eve launch almost maximize, just a few pixel that 10 YEARS of coding could not fix
windows 10 : it"s about a third of the surface that is missing.
now this "go to" client function will make ppl cry, I'll try fixed mode just after Bug 2

Bug 2

Virtual desktop are great
from launcher launch a client
put windowed maximized client on a Virtual desktop VD2
go then in VD2, make sure is like you want it
go back to the launcher/VD1
doubleclic on account, destkop slides to vd2, client is restored to original windows size



as I was testing a few time, the problem occur whatever the size was for both bug, if you have splited screen, or quarter size window, this will be cancelled and it will come back to original size
I'm testing fixed windows



Edit : so bug 1 is happening in fixed mode too
it happens only if a character is logged, not on the char selection, so I surmise it has something to do with the windows title that changed when a char is selected, but that only
the white windows are only 2 times : "Test" then "Connector". not 3
it happens once for each client launched




Edit 2 :
screenshot of the white windows
what I mean windowed mode is small, and it's a bother
what I call maximized, notice how windows fill all the space and there is no border visible (also black is definitively better than red)

while playing with settings I understood a bit while the windows mode was so ****** up, someone decided somewhere that fixed windows and windowed need to use the "resolution" option
fixed is what all the game in the world are now calling "windowed fullscreen" so it should use windows rez
and windowed is windowed, you don't setup a resolution and windows control / corner draging is the way to go (and remembering status should help A LOT)

please remove this behavior from the game, or add option in the game to customize windowed setting. the launcher clearly tells the game something that makes it reset it's windowed setting

Since the change in the settings profiles, selecting from 10 setting slots and filling them in as you go.

That said, what I don't like about to current profiles is the popup window that it uses, it's just not 'simple' enough for my tiny brain. It's also quite a jaring change to the current user experience where everything else is so neatly built into the client.

Thanks for your hard work team! I love this launcher a ton more than the previous one :)

Seems the launcher has a limit.

3 clients selected to load.
2 load ok, 3rd, well it loads as far as getting bulk data yada yada then nothing but a black screen.
Change it to another profile, still the same.


Open select profile, change profile, click start, it goes through the motions until it comes to loading character selection, which doesn't happen.

Client won't start via new launcher, .exe, old launcher. Using .exe it got as far as "local session corrupt restart". No amount of restarting matters, I have at least 1 character that is now unplayable.
Repair tool completed with errors - C:\Users\Xxx\AppData\Local\Temp\nse3995.tmp\repair.exe.log - does not exist.

This is only affecting 1 account - My other accounts login with no problems.



Oh and the issues with my previous post - Where are the clients settings - I'd like an answer to. It may actually be related to this isuue.
The generic Eve folder doesn't help much when your running multiple clients. Don't know how the Exe file managed it, but it just did, now with a launcher that is supposed to contain this information, it isn't there.

PS; the new launcher is still not going to "offline" when TQ goes down.
