Apologies if this is the wrong forum, I'm sure there's a thread I just want to get into the game to play before the servers are shut down for expansion time (TL;DR: I'm lazy).

I have four accounts that I like using, so the process for me at present is along the lines of:


  1. Log in to each account to set up the list of accounts
  2. Select the appropriate settings for each account to launch with (I have "A", "B", "C" and "D" to keep each instance to its own settings files)
  3. Toggle the four instances to all run when I click "Play Selected (4)"
  4. Click "Play Selected (4)"


From here until some random account's authentication token expires, I can relaunch instances by clicking the "play" button.

Once one account's authentication token expires, I get the notification in red below the accounts & play button area, along the lines of "the authentication token has expired. please log out and log back in again." This message does not go away when I log out and log back in again.

Also, once I log out all the authentication is gone, as is the list of which accounts I've previously logged in with, as have the selections of which settings each instance of EVE should be associated with.

It would be really nice if there was some way to remember:

  1. The accounts I've previously logged in with
  2. The settings I've chosen for that account
  3. Whether this account is enabled for multi-launch
  4. All these options are linked to one master account to unlock the launcher configuration



So in the future, launching four instances of EVE would look like this:

  1. Log in with my master account
  2. Click "Play Selected"


Thank you to the folks at CCP who have brought the macOS launcher this far! It's pretty useful despite all my bleating :D
