Bulky, pointless and does not even work. CCP if you're looking for other people to lay off I suggest you sack who ever thought this was a good idea. Next patch remove launcher and remove the bright spark who made it so EVE can work with out a pointless .exe file running to boot it.

Agree as well. Especially when running multiple accounts with separate executables. double-click, play, close (sometimes close again). Rinse, repeat.

Can't even play eve due to this horrible and pointless .exe. Eve is becoming one of those bulky unwieldy programs that crashes every time you minimise. Why the hell did they think they needed a launcher? Seriously sack the dev that made this.

You do realize you can click the little wrench/spanner icon at the top of the launcher, select "Only show when patch is available" and presto, back to EVE as usual for all clients till the next patch...
If I helped you out, Technical Issue, enemy gank, popped your poor fit, hit the "Like" button.

No I did not, I suppose that dev can keep his job even though the launcher is still a massive waste of time. One day we'll have a launcher for this launcher.

Considering the launcher was designed to speed up the speed at which a bug release is well released (from a week+ to a hrs) I'd say it is doing a heck of a good job considering they have gotten a new patch out every day since its release. Also today should be the release of the new 1.11 version which hopefully fixes some issues out there. I'll know more in a bit.
