I am having issues with the launcher. Running EVE Launcher 1.313.

EDIT: Using Windows 7 PC.

What happens is this:

Start the launcher.

Start the client from the launcher.

Log in this account, with this toon.

Start another client from the launcher.

Log in another account running in the same folder.

No problem.

So far, so good.

Now for the problem:

Start from scratch, with the launcher, and no clients running.

Log in this account, this toon.

CLOSE THE LAUNCHER.

Changing my mind, need the second account, so:

Start the launcher: I now get "Unable to update EVE online client" pop-up, and cannot start the client from the launcher.

The only way to remedy this is to close both the launcher, and the client already running, and start over.

This has NOT been an issue before, and both client & launcher are completely up to date.

Has anybody seen this happening, or is it just my installation that is acting up ?

Any thoughts as to what might be causing this would be greatly appreciated.

yeah I can reproduce this, the error seems to be related to attempting to update files that the open eve client is already using... not sure its really a bug, but yeah annoying that the launcher has to remain open.

I'm assuming the full error you are receiving is:

"The EVE Launcher cannot update a directory from which the processes are running. Please close the following process: exefile.exe"

If this isn't the error then I have no idea whats going on Straight

:EDIT:
