Ok, I understand the theory ..

But ..

Why is it still sat there when I click on the extra "play" button I have to click on to start the game (2 clicks rather than 1 now .. why?) .. In fact why does it show at all, it should start up, realise there is no patch and just start eve .. Why the extra step?

Ok, so If I want 2 clients I click twice .. (Actually did this by accident as I clicked play, the crucible screen comes up, disappears and then looks like nothing happened but the launcher is still there, so I clicked play again ..)

Grr

Rage

Bah

etc.

Love you long time ..

Please check out the Settings menu, there is an option for precisely this use-case.

Is there an alternate way of getting into said menu? the screwdriver/wrench button isn't working on either of my launchers

It reminds me a little of the captains quarters, everyone desperately looking for a way to turn the darn thing off. Cool

Works on one of mine, doesn't work on the other.

It is nothing more than a dressed up way of adding a page of advertising with the default load switched 'on'.

Once again, priorities seem to be rather different to what they were recently so vehemently claimed to once again be.

Whats more annoying is that after this release I can only have 2 clients open. Open the 3rd and the game slows down to absolute slush. Before the patch I could have 4 open without problem.

For CCP's benefit, none of the links work.
There is an issue with something shared on C directory. When I got it working on Tranquility, it corrupted Sis. A repair and they both work.
I have it turned off right now on both because it's doing some strange muliple client launch thing when I hit play and while it will open the clients it wouldn't actually let me log in to them. I was getting hopscotch login where only the last client stayed on and the older ones were dropped.
With it closed except for updates I am running as before.

There's a bug in 1.05 relating to client directories which have both a hyphen in the path name, and contain a .patch file. The work-around is to remove one or the other. This has been fixed in 1.06, which is currently on SISI. Hope that helps.

Foundations leads to houses I eagerly await easy sisi setup from the launcher and the launcher keeps all the builds seperate from each other (as far too often I try to connect to sisi from my eve shortcut and it patches all tranq into sisi or vice versa.)

Cheers m8y ... Is there a reason why these are off by default?

Just proves how shortsighted you are.
Have you seen the new player friendly links in there? That alone has a chance to keep 50% more newbs in game. If population grows then **** I don't mind even some huge ass ad bilboards next to every gate.

So people who have multiple clients won't come to the forums and complain like you do about why you have to launch the launcher several times and then click play to launch multiple clients.

Geez, people. Sometimes you just don't think at all, do you?

The installer seems to update very slowly..... Is this being addressed. Ive been waiting long enough to think of writing this reading the forum and then making this post. Then got a performance alert eve online launcher is using a lot of CPU. Hopefully it speeds up a little bit thanks CCP. Hopefully my feedback is positive and it can be addressed as useful.

I don't see a problem with it, you click PLAY to start the game, like the other launchers I see out there. What's the big deal?


Edit:
I clicked the PLAY button twice and it launched two clients, pretty cool.

Great job on the launcher. I'm liking it. You guys covered a lot of options there. I think it's probably important to point out to people that the settings are there and to explore them thoroughly!

The launcher is a game in itself now!! Pirate

For having the best name ever, +1 to you sir.

If anyone ever looks at you and says,_ "Hold my beer, watch this,"_  you're probably going to want to pay attention.

Just run "bin/ExeFile.exe /nosplash /noconsole". Launcher can go poof! I use that with the LUA:OFF end thingy, so that I can use an unionfs to have my settings/cache stored in different folders for my clients without having to duplicate the game files themselves. Works great!

The first run of the Launcher checksums your client directory in order to determine which files require patching. This information is cached for later use, so later patches should be much faster than this initial one. Thanks for your patience.
