Any chance that you can make it so the clients that are in the backgound have all sounds muted, like isboxer can?

I realy like the new launcher, but this feature from isboxer, is the only reason I am not using the new launcher. (I know I might not have anything to do with the launcher in general)

Allso the feature (from isboxer) that backgound clients can have there flamerate lowered are nice too.

Thanks in advance for replying

This is a setting in the actual eve clients. Go to sound and on the right you have inactive client sound muting. You can selectively mute specific things. It works great so no need for launcher to be involved in any way.

Hello first of all,

I´m encountering an issue with the launcher regarding test server connection.
As I´m selecting either Sisi or Duality and then want to connect, simply nothing happens. No error message or something else, but I can connect on TQ without any problems. I´m playing on Windows 7 with the Release version of the launcher.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Couldn't resist to try your 1000300.exe version, mr Snorlax.

For the first time, I saw a small interface with progress of
a download of a previous version.

That in itself was already a happy occasion.

After completion of the download, it starts counting down towards
the next update. I let it count to 0 and then the background task
was started without any further feedback whatsoever.

So something changed, but the end result is still the same. If
I can do anything to get this show back on the road, please let me
know.



The offer still stands...

Could you try this version: https://binaries.eveonline.com/EveLauncher-1001877.exe ?


Hello mr. Snorlax,
Due to RL things, I saw your post a bit late. I succeeded in installing version 1002007.exe,
the version that was on the main Eve download page. I hope you have a clue as to where the
instalment went awry.

Thank you for your kind concern,

Enrique

I'm glad to hear the launcher works now.

Here's what I commented on the bug report:

My apologies, the text on this page is inconsistent. If you look below in System Requirements the minimum listed is OS X 10.9.
I'll make sure the text there is updated to accurately reflect our system requirements.


I appreciate you bringing this to my attention, and I'm sorry if you feel our service is not as it should be.


Dear CCP Snorlax,

I did not expect to read the reply on my bug report page Roll

However, thank you so much for pointing me in the right direction and for fixing the typo on the download page. Lol

Now, I'm happy with your service again. Sometimes it's just the small details, isn't it? P

What counts in the end is a launcher/client which does its job - and now it works!
Well done, good job, love you guys.


Best regards,
Tass

After nuking eve completely off my computer trying to fix the latest launcher issues I would like to ask for the default the client to fixed window instead of full screen on first start (after that use can change the setting). For those of us with several screens and tons of open stuff windows reacts kinda badly to full screen programs which results in random movement of some programs.

Other than that excellent launcher (despite latest oops).

Recently ran into a snag a short time ago. I have made a ticket in regards to it but not sure if it may be something on my end. I run three account at the same time. Not iso-boxing heh not smart enough to figure that out. The new launcher was great for bringing on all three accounts in a staggered pattern so it didn't crash my computer.

Anyways my Issue is that I cannot bring my third account online. I can bring on two of them in any pattern but the moment I try and bring the third online it will crash. So I can bring accounts 2 and 3 on, or accounts 1 and 2, or accounts 3 and 1 but never all three at the same time. I thought maybe it was a messed up or glitched profile so I deleted the old profile that I carried over from the old launcher and made a new one for each account. It hasn't worked.

The old Launcher has the same problem I can bring two accounts online but the third one will always crash.

Any advice or help would be appreciated.

I used to be able to triple box, alt-tabbing between Eve clients.

Using the new launcher's "simultaneous launch" feature creates severe display problems (even when turning all graphics down, and I used to be able to do it with graphics on fairly high quality).

Using the new launcher and starting the clients one by one makes things easier, but slower and more unwieldy than they used to be: I alt-tab to the desk, then manually select a client, and it will mostly (but not always) open correctly. The rest of the time, it will open and close immediately, so I'll need to try again. It always works... eventually... though sometimes not before Windows sends me a "we have detected words words words about your graphics, do you want to turn your resolution down?" popup.

Again, this is with absolutely zero changes to my config except the new launcher.



I noticed that the game had created a Shared Cache folder on C: instead of where I had installed the game (and told the launcher the game should be). So I tried to move it to the right place, using the launcher's interface. My settings got nuked. Tried coping using that MP4cast you linked upthread, and it should work as soon as I'm done DLing 3Go (I had told the game to download everything previously, but I guess the new launcher "decided" otherwise).

So additional question, with apologies if this isn't the right thread (but no idea which of the numerous sections of the forums would be best for it): is there a way that I could configure my UI and apply those settings to all my characters on all my accounts by default until told otherwise? Things like small icons on the neocom, no music or background sounds, same overview settings for everybody, Aura please do get lost with your opportunities crap there's a good AI, remember which pop-up icons I checked "don't ask me again" over all my characters. An out of game tool that would do that would be even more awesome, but I'm totally willing to do a full uninstall / fresh install and go through the chore of clicking all those stupid boxes again if it gets me a clean UI.

Thanks.

The new update to the launcher seems to have resolved the issue I seem to be having so I am now able to log all my accounts in.

Make sure that's the case as it was normal before that it would show eve using intel GPU while in fact using the dGPU. Think it was only an issue with nvidia cards on laptops.

And there we go again. The new (and improved ??) eve launcher update threw yet another spanner in the works.

A started eve launcher is now transparent on my desktop for most part. Top left is a white rectangle with the height of a window title bar. Bottom and right hand side, only the shadow of the window is drawn (1 pix black line).

SIGH !

trying the official installer again, hope that works.

If the launcher isn't starting up, or is just displaying a white window, try setting an environment variable called QT_OPENGL, either to 'desktop' or 'angle'.

You can set an environment variable by right-clicking on your computer in the Start menu, select Properties, then Advanced System settings, then Environment Variables...

In the dialog that comes up, add a new System variable. Enter 'QT_OPENGL' in the name field, and 'desktop' in the value field (without the quotes).

OK, set it to 'desktop' I now see the content. A second patch to Eve 1003250 is downloading as I write this (launcher is at v. 1003795, with GUI 1.755).
But.... isn't this kinda thing something an installer should do ??
I usually don't mess that deep into the catacombs of my computer.

I'm wondering how the previous versions of the launcher were able to show me their contents as this parameter wasn't set then.

Yes, but this is a workaround for now. Apologies for making this complicated, but I haven´t found a setting that works for everyone.

The launcher and the qtwebengine browser is at 150 and 200 MB memory footprint, respectively. Is this normal behaviour? Seems like rather a lot.

(I've noticed the launcher at even higher numbers, I believe it topped out just below 200 MB too the other day.)

Ive downloaded this game for the 3rd time since its release and once again I am stuck on a tutorial, boldly go, where I have to visit an anomaly. I don't know how to and after 3 days and several forum/google/youtube searches I have given up. I cant even skip that tutorial. Other than that, after 5 days of playing I feel the game is just utterly boring and I love space sims. All I do is mine ore, make 9000 credits or whatever and continue mining. Most of the stuff that's worth buying is in the tens to hundreds of thousands so ill be able to afford a mining barge in about a year, but as long as I keep doing the mining cycle everyday.

This game is not for me...Far too boring and disappointing.

I went through the previous threads trying to see if there was progress on using the new launcher to clone settings across accts but it doesnt seem there has been?

Wiped pc and installed win10. Decided to start fresh with client settings as well. Set acct 1 up somewhat and attempted in various ways to clone settings to other accts using profile manager but no luck. Does it work and im missing something, or is that business about elevating char settings to global level or something still in the works?

If it isn't how does one go about this now? Was using garpaui before but that seems obsolete now with the changes and not sure if the manual copy/pasting ids method still applies either.

Like the new launcher btw. Would be nice if the whole multi-accting thing could be unified and all characters exposed to the launcher. Kinda sucks to keep track of multiple accts with different billing periods.

The settings will be overhauled in the near future, hopefully.

We are also looking into exposing characters to the launcher.

No dates on either of these, but it is being looked at.
