Hi Folks:

I run EVE on LInux under Wine (v1.7.50, set to Windows 7 emulation). I installed the new launcher and it crashed immediately upon running.

I can provide details and a stack trace in case any Dev is interested. I understand an emulated environment is certainly not your first concern!

When I log in through the launcher on one of the computers I use to play EVE, I end up with a list of all my accounts...not much different that the master password option I suggested in my previous post. However, on another computer, I need to enter passwords for every account, as if they are unlinked. I don't think I ticked the "Remember this account (Insecure)" box. I wonder what did I do to trigger this behaviour?


if u open up the launcher from the first pc i take the accounts are all there .. ? id take the accounts are linked in the launcher files somewhere not linking the accounts with eachother in general .. so relinking the acocunts into the launcher on every pc u use would be needed



on that note eve account management page has a option to link all your accounts to the same e-mail, why not use that linkage to populate the accounts .. ( tho yea its little bit more then launcher rework .. ) id assume its already been think ed over .. an general account center to merge your accounts so its easy to manage the subscribing/api and all that the sandbox offers :)

Still loving this launcher, would love to be able to launch specific toons from it however,


ALSO what about having a red or greyed out account bar for when you cant play, no sub temp ban etc!

I linked my accounts on the Account management page before the new launcher was even released, but that didn't link my accounts in the launcher.

Workarounds are not bugfixes.

I am using the new launcher from the very beginning and i like it a lot!

There is still one bug that I am seeing from day one that wasn't fixed yet and isn't listed in the overview thread:
During daily downtime the launcher doesn't show the correct Online-status of the server. It always tells me that the server is Online.
Even during the "longer" downtime after the end of the blood raiders (about 1h i think), the launcher always showed Online
I am pretty sure (but not 100%) that i restarted the launcher there and it still showed online, so it is not only a problem of pure update.

PS: sorry if this is a duplicate issue, but I didn't see this issue on the few pages I looked through

Liking the new launcher. Probably already brought up but I'd like it if it remember what profile to use for what accounts.

For the popup message about a news item. When I clicked on it, I definitely expected a web browser to open to that news item, not for the popup message to close. Would suggest making this action clearer.


The Amarr succession trial popup yesterday even blocked PLAY button when the launcher was too small and there was no indication that clicking it would close it.

I hope this one doesn't cause as much heat. I have 2 different computers that overheat when I leave the launcher up. The eve client does not overheat them. I really have no idea why this is.


I like to leave the launcher up in case I get dced, but I can't. If its a matter of the graphics maybe allow us to tone them down.

Same here. Also the Users Online number does not update if the launcher it kept loaded. Only updates when loaded.

Love the new launcher!! Great job to everyone on this project.

I would like to request that a link be added to show the latest patch notes like we have in the current production launcher.

On the most recent beta launcher, ver 978929 the linked accounts aren't as legible as they were on the build before. Otherwise the rest of the interface looks sleek and modern.

I recommend reverting back highlights/borders around the linked accounts in the launcher main menu.

Same here. With my rig it is a graphics card issue. I can run 4 clients parallel at 3440*1440 stable, so it looks like the launcher causing a very high workload on the GPU for some reasons.

It is unclear to me if you are talking about the new launcher or the old one. Are you saying the new launcher is causing the high workload?

just a thought : if you tinkered with some settings, or created new profiles, be sure to check in graphic option the "Interval", I strongly advised you set it to "1" (one) in all you clients
this will seriously reduce the gpu workload as it will limit your gpu to the refresh rate of the screen

it may not be that at all, but worth a check

I've been testing the new launcher a few days. The features I like the most are one click to login multiple sessions, and easy access to the test server.

The only problem I've had is that advertisements / messages sometimes display, anchored in the lower left corner, and obscure the play or play selected buttons. It was not obvious that you could click these messages to dismiss them. They should have an [x] close box to make that discoverable and more obvious to the user or they should be redesigned to never obscure the play/login button which is the primary function of the launcher.

How can I make it work with STEAM ?

Please be patient - Steam integration is not there yet. It will of course be there in the final version.


Please make sure this integration is an improvement over the old launcher's integration - we shouldn't have to restart all our clients to reconnect a client associated with a steam account!

The old launcher has a prominent link to the patch notes. This is a really convenient feature that I miss in the new launcher.

This could even be incorporated into a message indicating the client version and whether an update has been applied since last login:

Client is current at: Parallax 1.3 (View Patch Notes)
- or -
Updating to: Parallax 1.4 (View Patch Notes)
- or -
Successfuly updated to: Parallax 1.4 (View Patch Nodes)

Could you be more specific? What did the pop-up say, exactly? What did it look like?
