This first run of the Launcher checksums your client directory for comparison. This will be cached for all future runs, so expect future patches to run much more quickly Smile.

Hi, would you mind uploading the contents of [EVE Directory]\launcher\cache\launcher.log to https://bugs.eveonline.com/ ? We'd love to get some more data regarding this. Thanks!



Done, thank you.

When I launch the old client from a shortcut pointing to a junction it downloads the patch and then fails with a python exception. If I launch from the "native" directory shortcut the installer seems to start up ok and it's now patching.

Congrats... really, really... took you guys this long to come up with a launcher that is painfully similar to the WOW game launcher...

This is my signature. There are many others like it, but this one is mine.  Without me, my signature is useless. Without my signature, I am useless

Got my second client running with symlinks. Had to copy the Info.plist and PkgInfo from the updated main installtion to the cloned installation. Clients are starting but changing Info.plist as described in http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Multiple_clients#Duplicating_EVE_Online.app doesn't work anymore. It always uses the settings from the main installation.

so now, instead of hitting the shortcut key on my G11 to launch a new client of EVE, i have to deal with the stupid launcher and press the "play" button each time.....................such an improvement

And if you press the "Play" multiple times, it fires up multiple instances of the client. Bonus!

So there's no way to export and import patches on Mac yet, I take it, seeing as how the option does not appear in the settings menu?

Do you have any idea of the timeframe before this will make it in?

Is this place where the bugs go ?

My ears are that good, i can hear somebody drop a can while zoomed
out and being 400km away ... being able to listen to the shieldbooster
of the minmatar navy (i believe it was them), again while zoomed out and
them 100km+ away ...

So i've been either granted supernatural powers, OR ......... :)

Luancher settings only worked for an installed EVE client, not for copied EVE folders. It just won't open on those.

So I was playing with the settings in the launcher and I clicked the one that makes the launcher auto fire up eve if theres no patch and the one that makes the launcher close when eve starts. How would I go about changing these settings back now? Because I cant seem to get into any launcher settings anymore...

My bad, I have fixed the link now.

The info.plist for the client is deeper in now, it used to be in EVE Online.app/Contents/ but is now in EVE Online.app/Contents/Resources/EVE Online.app/Contents

The first info.plist is for the launcher, the client now lives deeper within the package.

You can open the Launcher by starting the Launcher shortcut in the client directory.

1. Navigate to the place you installed the game
2. Find the EVE Online Launcher shortcut
3. Start it

I start 8 separately installed clients with different settings all at once with a .bat file.

No junction points are not a solution, I found if I lose settings for one client I lost them for all hence the separate installs, I only lose one clients settings.

Admittedly that was several years ago that was happening so perhaps not an issue anymore.

How is the new installer going to know to patch each separate client and then start them?

And within the next two - three weeks it going to get worse. 10 clients on 5 networked computers. How is it going to manage that?

I have a feeling I'm going to spend longer getting Eve started than actually playing.

Oh, that's interesting, it just started 8 of the same client and cannot continue - only one updater can be running at a time, says I have to restart my computer.

Amphetimines are your friend.
