Test Server Feedback

I'm sorry, I wasn't clear: I'm asking about Win8 installation of the new launcher. Everything I described happened on my Win8 machine.

So: do I need to download the new launcher to connect to SiSi on Win 8?

Here's some feedback - absolutely fcuking horrendous!

I multibox and this new launcher is about to make my life a *lot* more painful.

What exactly is it giving us, the paying customers, over the current method of logging in?

We need to be able to launch multiple copies of Eve, with the account name remembered, and log them in easily - not this backward step of logging into a launcher and firing up a single copy, then backing out and doing it again!

Did anyone on your team sit down and try using the new system with multiple accounts??!?

U know, taking 2 years off from Eve, and I come back to this?

Changes to production, without telling your customers?

Changes to production, without checking to see how it will affect your customers?

In the real IT world, people get fired over this type of approach.

I use keepass since years now with both the eve-client and the web pages (and tons of other games/pages). Sadly, the password field in the new launcher looses focus when you try to use the autotype feature from keepass.

This launcher is an absolute ******* travesty. As a multiboxer who only plays eve because of the former friendliness to multiboxing, I am razor thin close to just cancelling all 12 accounts and telling CCP to go **** themselves with pay I no longer give them w my wallet.

This was completely ill thought, planned, and executed and whomever is responsible should have a serious reprimand incoming to them. I am absolutely dumbfounded that this launcher was considered acceptable.

Congratulations CCP, alienating the playerbase that is actually your cash cow.

Does it fix this problem:



If not, and I suspect that it doesnt, keep at it and get it sorted asap, as this is a load of crap.

I've said it before on the other threadnaught and I'lll say it again here. Just suspend all meetings, and get the right people sat at their stations to roll this mess back first. Then resume the meets and figure out what to do next and release it again only after you have all these issues figured out. As it stands now, all those meetings look like the debate on the gender of angels that took place in Constantinople while the city was being attacked back in 1453. True story!

There's a fundamental problem that isn't the launcher on itself but instead the issue is with the epiphany that CCP believes to have had with the SSO.

The SSO would work wonderfully both with the client and in all websites using our eve account credentials if we were limited to a single account per person as well. This limitation could be from simply banning multi accounting (I know, right?) or creating a system in which you can get all your toons into the same account (and with the new spend plex, train an alt simultaneously, there's no reason not to get this done).

SSO vs. multi accounting players just doesn't work and CCP would have been better off sorting the multiaccounting thing before moving into the SSO.

Well, you wanted my feedback, here it is.

I have to congratulate CCP for breaking something that didn't need fixing. I did at least, manage to get my old settings restored by starting the launcher a 2nd time. So that at least is not a problem.

The problem I have with the launcher is this. This is not my only account. (Big surprise, right?). With the old launcher, I'd click to start the client, and log on from that. I could do this 3-4 more times if I wanted to, with little problem.

With the new launcher, I now have to log out, and log back on as a different user, each time. From my point of view, this has added an additional step that isn't really necessary. And to be honest, I see no great advantage to the new launcher. In fact, I see no reason to use it at all.

So, either give us back the old one, or at least just take this current piece of garbage away, so it doesn't clutter up our screens.

Thank you.


P.S. ROLL BACK the LAUNCHER!!!

Oh, and don't EVEN think about making my settings portable to other computers via some cloud bull crap.

I'm with you on this - I run 11 accounts and can, for now, launch my MB teams by running the ExeFile.exe directly.
If this farcical new launcher becomes mandatory in its current state, then I will be closing down my Eve accounts and moving on to pastures new.

It's not a little thing, it's a pain in the arse every time you want to play!!!

Even Blizztard wouldn't pull this sort of $h1t!

CCP Aporia - where have you gone. I was looking forward to hearing your replies to the issues ive had regarding this launcher and how the by pass works so much better than it.

why does it not have focus on the password box?

why does it still not remember account names after its patched?

why does the log off or restart button not close the client and reopen the launcher so I can log alts in WITHOUT leaving 8 launchers running on my desk top while im playing?

why the hell is it validating the client every time its opened?

why are you trying your hardest to remove basic multibox support?

do you know that using the eve.exe from the bin folder allows you to fix all of the above issues?

it retains password focus, it has working log off and restart buttons which don't require me to leave 8 launchers running on my pc. it only cares if the client is up to date and dose not keep checking and lastly and most importantly it provides the multibox support that the launcher does not.

fancy answering any of my questions CCP Aporia ?
