EVE Information Portal

The EVE Launcher will be upgraded with new features on May 21, 2013.

This update will be performed automatically as soon as you start your current EVE Launcher. If the launcher doesn't automatically update as expected you can download the new EVE Launcher manually here: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/EveOnlineLauncher/release/EVEOnlineLauncher_2_1_545736.exe

The main change is a new and improved landing page and a new login mechanism which will allow you to log into EVE Online using our SSO (single sign on) service.

We’ve also included a new self-update mechanism in the EVE Launcher, which will make the update process for the EVE Launcher itself more reliable and allow us to deploy more updates as we work on improving the flow into the game.

In addition to these features, we’ve worked on a new version for the Mac which should also be deployed soon, which brings much closer parity between the Windows and Mac EVE Launchers, with a new embedded browser and low level tweaks to the EVE Launcher.

A devblog about the EVE Launcher upgrade can be found here, further information about SSO is available here.

We welcome all constructive feedback and comments and our developers will monitor the comments closely.

Update on 20:47 UTC at May 21
The web server issues are fixed and the EVE Laucher should be able to properly update and connect to Tranquility again.

the new launcher is a pile of ****, many have said it and you don't hear what was said and rolled it out anyway.

edit to include this little gem


looks like as soon as the launcher is closed, account names are removed from it. not all, just some

way to go ccp, your making it annoying as hell to log in

now that there is no login screen, does that mean that we won't have new login music and screen at each expansion ??
I loved login screen

did you guys properly QA test this new launcher as it did not update by itself.

had to force a manual update through the logfile it tends to write in \launcher\cache\

After this particular nice update the launcher is in offline Modus :/

Pastebin log:

You can get online? That must be nice.

EDIT for detail:

New launcher does this despite working internet:

You are seeing this because no connection could be made to the content server or something went wrong while loading the online content.

Absolutely Fabulous....

Got the offline mode message, managed to get a working one and log in after 5 tries.

Updated.

Launcher.exe was running 6 times (with ~70mb of memory in use for each) but no launcher being shown.
Killed the processes, started it again, it now claims that I'm offline and that the server status is unknown.

so now that we have a new launcher that doesnt work how am I supposed to train my skills. also any idea on when it will be fixed. all im getting is a white screen for a launcher.

Keep getting error messages after logging in on the launcher e.g.

Unable to download remote build number
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "lib\update.pyo", line 597, in run
File "lib\update.pyo", line 654, in IsUpdateRequired
File "lib\update.pyo", line 215, in __init__
File "lib\decorators.pyo", line 18, in __call__
File "lib\info.pyo", line 182, in GetRemoteBuildNumber
RemoteBuildNumberUnavailable: Unable to fetch build number from server
... (then about 500 words of other text)

But it just gives the option to launch EVE though anyway. To be honest I preferred the old launcher because rather than being able to launch 2 clients at once and THEN log in, you have to "switch character" and then launch it, which is rather annoying.
