My launcher for Tera Online is almost 200mb but as pointed out earlier in this thread, it can vary depending on what is being used at the time.

The launcher for Star Trek Online is just over 200mb.

The SOE launcher is at 250mb.

Finally the launcher for AION reached 275mb.

I would say CCP is doing a damned fine job so far.


Demos coders manage downloaders / patchers etc. that weight a tiny fraction of that.

Besides this, the others have their interest at slamming bloatware mammoths for their many products or 3rd party ads. EvE has none of this.

We can see the PLEX offers and umpteenth attempt to sell some EON compilation in the in game log in screen page just fine.

No one in their sane mind would say that chrome is optimized. All current mainstream browsers are incredbly resource hungry. I already made browsers for embedded systems that used lass than 800 K !


This is someone with the balls and that should be hired ASAP, as they are a dying breed.

Since when do you trust a person on their words?
You do PLAY eve.... right?

Also, a 800K embedded browser is not all that uncommon, it's just a little limited in its usefulness.
