indeed. switching between characters became pretty bothersome as i need to kill off the multiple(!) launcher processes manually and restart the launcher instead of just pressing the(now gone) "log off" button.

other than that, "the new and improved landing page" is just bloatware(especially bad on a 32bit system) and i can't see benefits to the SSO at this point.

I would welcome "remember password" box, so i dont have to write it everytime i want login on my OWN computer... dont know why they dont add this after 10years.

Also very juicy, typical corporate decision.

First CCP removes Jukebox, because maintaining 50 more lines of code proved to be beyond a multinational corporation capabilities.
OK we get that.

All the multi client players like me had to set the client volume to zero in order not to get hammered with a cacophony of overlapped soundracks (volume setting is global to all clients).

OK it's easy to see how it's dumb but players accepted it too.

All the multi client players who had to zero the volume, immediately lost the cool log in screen music as a consequence.

OK it's easy to see how it's dumb but players accepted it too.


Now, what's the most straigthforward way for fixing the inability to hear the log in screen music?

OBVIOUS! WE REMOVE THE COOL LOG IN SCREEN COMPLETELY!


I want to sock my head on a wall

JUKEBOX WAS ****ING AWESOME....

...since they remove it I dont turn on spearkers

In general I must say that I have been positively suprised by the updates for the expansion, however this new launcher isn't perfect:

Pros:

I dont have to log in multiple times if I only use one account

Cons:

I have to log in each account with either a seperate launcher (if one can even do that) or log in -> switch account -> log in bringing me right back to where I started.
Also I will miss the GPU hogging but very cool startup screen!


Potential fixes:

1. Allow me to either log in / link all my accounts so that I can choose which to log in at the launcher
2. Or to be logged out again immediatly so that I can log in another account (this switch account step is quite annoying)

Also I had issues with the DNS server when this patch went live, my local dns did not have the proper records it seems to changing to a google dns server allowed the launcher to start normally.

Can't log in multiple characters as easy as you used to do. I have 4 links in my startmenu, one for each of my accounts, and now always the same launcher window pops up, regardless of what account I chose.

dislike.

fix it.

thank you.


edit: and btw, I don't want to HOTFIX my game because of settings getting lost, I want to continue playing the way I used to play...
If you want to move the login into the launcher at least make it remember which user account the instance is related to rather than having all user accounts in the same launcher.

I'm missing the logout button in the esc menu when in space, so when sitting in a pos it takes me 30 seconds to "log off safely" to switch to another character on that same account or I have to quit the client and start it again through this new and shiny launcher of yours -.-
You really have to think about how people are using your software :)

Dear CCP
Why do you hate your paying customers so much?
Maybe you don't like our moneys after all.
Or your jobs, for that matter as the result of that.

At least allow us to re-log to alts in same account without having to close whole EVE for it. This is complete bs.
I get it that you need to try to push people into having multiple accounts, but this is wrong way to do it.
You are only angering your customers, and there is only so far you can go until we consider you equal to Ubisoft & EA.

New features are nice thing, but for gods sake, do them properly so that they won't cause extra trouble for players. Or time wasted, like this does in its current form for anyone who might want to relog to another character.

/end of rant.

Confirming that restarting launcher does NOT bring back old settings and to be honest its ******* annoying to have to do that on every computer I have eve on again with every account. Just some of the things that got reset that fucks my usage as a player up:

Neocom icons went to default
Overview went to default (though I did have it exported as XML so no biggie there)
Chat windows reset
auto-targeting setting went to default
Graphic settings went to default

Ughh the list is extensive, there should have been a better implementation of this new launcher to keep the settings.

Just to rant a bit here, the new launcher was ONLY released on sisi for a ******* week before you decided to shove it on TQ. Im not complaining that the launcher is a bad concept, but for fucks sake, you can NOT release something in beta format for ONLY a week and assume that since you had no issues that its ready to go live. That is the worst ******* project management I have ever seen and tbh for you CCP that is saying something.

Usually, you like to shove things on TQ before they are fully funtional. I can understand and appreciate that with expansions and patches, sometimes you NEED 60K players to interact with it to test it. However, the gripe I have here is timing. A week is NOT enough time to ******* test a new launcher out. It should have been left on sisi until Odyssey was deployed and testing could shift focus to the new launcher a week after oddy. Instead, you have now tried to test two completely different changes to the game at the same time without giving one the proper testing it needs. I ******* hope you remember that the next time you decide to go live with a beta feature only a week into testing. If DUST had taken that approach, it would have failed big time.

Its not just the first time, its EVERY TIME.

It takes me 3-5 mins for me to actually get into Eve.
