So far i have found the new launcher great BUT i Do have 2 accounts, and run both on a single system over 2 screens

My main account is located on my MAIN screen, while i place my ALT account onto a slightly smaller screen to my right. this way i can preform solo missions/mining etc by myself, without the need to keep flipping screens.

The problem im having is when i start up both accounts from this one launcher. Both accounts end up on the same screen despite i have gone into the graphic settings of the game and selected the card to use for each account. (either card 1 or card 2)

I have set a 15 second delay between the accounts to ease up the required CPU on the startup.

Could we have the option as part of settings to select the "screen" (or card, or card output) the account is opened on? this would prevent players from having to manually select the account and change the screen/graphic options (such as res size) every time they log in with more than one account.

With the old launcher, i was able to set the screen by using a "shortcut" on my desktop, giving the instruction to open on either screen 1 or screen 2. I seem to unable to do this with a "single launcher" over multiple accounts

Yes! Same problem here!
I posted earlier about whether or not there were any new Launcher help videos around. So far there hasn't been any response and the help videos I've found don't mention being able to set up the Launcher for 2 accounts with 2 screens. Nothing about this is even mentioned here in the forums as far as I could tell. I'm about ready to chuck it all. Very frustrating the lack of info/help for the new Launcher. Sad

CCP Snorlax will probably look into it. it was, if i remember right, there was mention for that feature to be in the launcher. but i'm on a mac. and i don't have that option.

I'll be the pessimist here and say that this issue will not be looked into by anyone. I mean there are soooooooo many issues with the "new launcher". I can only assume they won't get to fixing this in my lifetime. I'm 59 btw. Roll
