Test Server Feedback

As Sisi is down for patching ill just wait until its back up again to give any more feed back

The second thing I am going to do after I up date the build using the in folder exe short cut, is to use my other main sisi folder short cut to see if it still has the same fuctionality.

New build only updatable using sisi launcher.
Short cuts did not update launcher and did not start sisi update until launched and canceled the sisi launcher update.
Same version of the launcher.[/quote

Update

New version still runs the update proccess every time if you link off the launcher exe in the main eve folder.

There is still not an option to reenable the launcher from inside the client. Makes testing annoying

The options menu is better.

Good to hear you like it![/quote]

Setting up short cuts to use the launcher I have two exe's to link to.
There are two launcher exe files in my Sisi folder one is in the main folder and one is in the launcher folder.

The launcher exe in the main eve folder runs the update check every time and wipes any setting that are linked to that short cut.

If you link the launcher exe in the launcher folder It works properly. But there is not a launcher short cut that can just be copied and pasted on to the desktop.

It will be replaced with the eve online or sisi main short cut in time but its going to be an issue if you use the wrong exe file when you do it.


Also the short cuts did not up date this time. Maybe the new version of the laucher is smoother but I had to use the sisi laucher to update this time around.

Also when will the launcher replace the sisi launcher with its log server call up and full information about what is being patched?

Okay all is good after clearing out and reinstalling the Sisi patches.

When you select another language and go back to english. It locks the launcher and goes in to Offline mode. The "restart "launcer" needs a H and the launcher does not restart when the blue text is clicked.

When is the Sisi option going to be included in the launcher?

QA is still asking for logging while trouble shooting issues. Not having it start on log in to Sisi is a step back in functionality.

Hallo!

Yay for newness. :) My thoughts:

I like it because: it makes patching a seamless process, even more so than the previous patcher [only had a few "confusion spots," but overall it was pretty good.] It makes patching and launching feel very connected, which is awesome. It's also easier on resources... not a bad added-bonus.

My criticisms:
Personally, and this is -just- my opinion, but I don't like the "MMO" style of it. It doesn't look bad, but it doesn't stand out as much as it could. I'm not sure exactly how to explain that, but when I think of Eve, I think of striking, clean, minimal, and dark.

While the new launcher isn't ugly, by any standard, it doesn't strike me as... Eve. It strikes me more as Sins of a Solar Empire. What would really make it stand out is a clean, minimal, futuristic [but more to the point -- contemporary] design. European design has always drawn from this theory; probably dating back to the Bauhaus stylistic approach, and Swiss type styles. Clean, slick, solid. That's what I think of when I think of Eve. I think of "damn, that just looks awesome." It's getting there; the transparent black windows are awesome, but right now the buttons/amount of colors/complex background, it just looks kind of nice. I guess to sum up my whole rambling, it could just be pushed a little more.

That said, I know artists are hard workers [I'm a designer -- and even though we get to draw pretty pictures all day, mathematicians and engineers, they're damn stressful pretty pictures] and they should be proud of it, and not everyone is going to agree. So, bazinga to me

Ps -- Rock on, I really look up to you guys!

Yeah, I was mentioning it here more for the Launcher repair shenanigans than the "show info" bug. The bug reporting links in-game lead to Tranquility-related bug-report pages. Is there a separate location for reportage of SiSi bugs or should I just mention SiSi in a TQ bug report?

Not sure is any of this has been mentioned before but...

Surely the point of a luancher should be (for example) Character selection (as well as patch updates) Are there any plans to introduce this so as not to have character selection pop up when the Client loads? Other wise is seems a little pointless.

On the flip side of that, (as mentioned above by Azure Moonlight) are there any plans to introduce a function ingame to actually SWITCH to a different character (on the same account) without having to close the client and re-launching it? This type of functionality would seem more useful and be of more benefit.

Discuss! :)

I just downloaded and installed a fresh Singularity install and it has the patch 28 in the end. When I launch eve.exe, the launcher opens and wants to update it to Tranquility patch :/ is that normal or?

Just start the launcher directly:
launcher.exe /server:singularity

Or the exefile - directly:
EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe /nosplash /noconsole /server:singularity

"/server:Singularity" Big S
Its on the eve.exe not the launcher.exe I made the same mistake the launcher is a old file
