EVE Information Portal

Hello,

since yesterdays patch i can not use the beta launcher, after launching its just a not available website, if i go to "servers" i can launch the exe but something is wrong, would be nice to give us a solution for this.

Here a picture about the visual: http://i.imgur.com/mu7cB7n.png

Yes i can

Is this still a problem? It seems like the launcher is having difficulties decoding the gzip compressed file (index.html). This error usually happens when the file is not gzip compressed but the website tells you its gzip compressed. Might be some hiccup on Amazon.

Maybe there is something going on with caching done by the QtWebEngine. It lives in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CCP\EVE\QtWebEngine. Close the launcher, rename this folder to something else, then restart the launcher. See if that helps.

The drawback is that you lose the accounts you had remembered - you can either add them again, or put the folder back, deleting everything but the LocalStorage folder.

i got the problem that the BETA launcher seems to have problems with downloads or the shared data.

it want to download 240MB but only download nearly 1% /hour. i have 50mbit/s and all the other stuff (you know, porn for...research) works fine.

restart or search for corrupted data didnt work, still the same slow download.

sadly, this wont work for me, old launcher is also very slow, cant build up all the pictures and wont even try to connect for updates

edit: and it seems also all my patch datas where deleted. at least in my patch folder.

Same here: deleted those files and have no problems so far.
Thanks.

welcome to the club. windowed mode, full screen. best way to play multi client on a single screen and not spam alt+tab all day long.

CCP has somewhere, somewhat decided that "windowed" mode needed a resolution setting instead of windows status setting
no one else does, but did that ever stop ccp? ;)

so windowed mode has a stupid dropdown setting for resolution... AND IT CANNOT BE SET. infuriating.
and of course it doesn't rememeber the "maximized" status, only a default resolution that is changeable through a lot of clics...

I'm going to offer you "my" version of the workaround : a script that will maximize the all the eve clients launched
with a bonus, it also minimize backround client (unfocused ones) to save the earth by consuming less cpu and gpu
this is optional but ideal for mono screen.
just copy the script in the launcher folder, run it to launch the launcher (yeah, lol, a launcher's launcher.... but hey, you do what you can as you can, the post explains how to make a shortcut to the make a nice icon and make it look like the real launcher)
this link to another post, follow the instructions

if you don't want minimizing : put a sharp (#) before this line

 [UserWindows]::ShowWindowAsync($hwnd, 2)|out-null # 6 = we minimize the windows 

near the bottom

not fun stuff about that : new eve launcher is clearing all the files in the launcher folder, so each patch you need to re-copy the script in the launcher folder.
I did ask a few times here to stop deleting files from my computer, bah, I worked around that

alternatively, you could put the script wherever you want and change the line

$app = Start-Process EveLauncher.exe -passthru

by adding the fullpath to EveLauncher.exe

$app = Start-Process "c:\stupid path with spaces\somewhere\notice_the_quotes\EveLauncher.exe" -passthru

have fun, if you want to discuss this further, use the post I gave above, also there player project of multi screen launch in the tech lab forum.

A small suggestion for the beta client if it not come up before.

I like the idea of have multiple log in at the same time.
But is it possible to have an option to add a master login key into the client locally on your machine?

For the people who plan to perhaps save there different passwords for there different clients and just use one master password every
time they start the game?

No need to have the master key saved on the server sense its just a extra security for us paranoid eve people!

Launcher version 990283 on Windows 10 Pro

Two errant behaviors:

1) Immediately upon startup, the launcher will enter into a "Not responding" state and the user is prompted by Windows to kill it. evelauncher.exe nor its child processes consume any CPU during this time according to Task Manager. The mouse cursor is a spinning ring of death when moved over the UI.

and on the rare occasion that it doesn't do that:

2) The UI will be sluggish. Mousing over the UI elements which highlight themselves becomes a laggy afair. If I watch evelauncher.exe in Task Manager while I scrub my mouse over the face of the Launcher window, regardless of the location of the mouse cursor, the process consumes up to 20% CPU until I stop scubbing my mouse. Actually trying to launch a client fails to happen.

However, the right-click context menu for the task tray icon reacts speedily.

One minor issue:

1) The network test function where it pings client.eveonline.com will fail in all cases as ICMP appears to be blocked for that address.
