The launcher will re-launch the client without logging in if you keep it open.

Not happy with it?
We literally could not care less.
It's been a problem for 10 years and crying about it won't help you at all.

Are you just using Google Translate or something?

When Bon Scott died and he appeared before St. Peter at the gates of Heaven, St. Peter looked at his record and told him he couldn't get in. Just then, God screams at Peter, "Let him in, Karen Carpenter is driving me nuts. I want to hear some music with balls. We'll haggle over the paperwork later." At least I hope that's what happened.

Just don't close the launcher when you log in. If you don't use the launcher then yes, you'll have to enter it every time.

Now, more than ever, we need a dislike button.

What? Until the new launcher there was a logoff button ingame which relaunched the game. That changed only half a year ago. Why do you even answer if you don't care? go away?

Indeed, but it also required the same finger 'workout' to type the account name and password again. So, you are half correct about this 'crisis issue'.

Just don't close the launcher. Alt+F4, then relaunch the same account. Functionally the same thing.

I don't see any problems... Why want you have 2 people on the same account? that's the question....

Every time i logoff the client doesn't remember the screen that account should run on, i have to open
settings window every time and select the right screen. Making only graphic features is like packing a
product in a nice shiny box to sell better.

They are working on it buddy. There was a thread somewhere to make it more practical and hassle-free. Unfortunately though, there are some enormous code issues to make it as practical as we like. But it will hopefully be easier soon.

It's pretty much the fundamental basis of EVE.

Because the entirety of CCP are working full time on the problem...
And not doing other things parallel to the development of that by a small team at the same time.

First, you can use a workaround to the launcher in your daily use.

If you go to your EVE folder (In Windows OS at least) and then /bin/, there is a file called exefile.exe - that file launches the actual game instead of whatever bloatware the launcher launches before launching the button that you can click on to launch the game by calling on the same exefile that you can click yourself. I found that logging in 1 account with the workaround, compared to using the official launcher, is roughly half the time and for each extra account I have to log in I save more and more time (At three accounts I had saved around three fourths of the time using the bugfix compared to using the launcher).
So, you can bugfix the launcher for daily use, but CCP Atropos has promised to remove it.

A personal suggestion would be to not use this for updating. If it prompts you for an update (That is, if you don't check a few hours after DT and see that 1.1.10 has become 1.1.11) click no, shut down the game and let the launcher update the game. In some weird coincidence, CCP has actually made the launcher do the essential thing (Updating the game) work, and just everything else is a miserable failure, not the other way around.
If you must try to use the game to patch, that is also the way it happened before the first launcher was committed, it will first download the patch, close the game, install it through a regular install wizard, then prompt the launcher and the launcher will reinstall your game.

The whole issue however is finished, CCP Atropos does not want to share anything that is going on and was disappointed with the communitys response to her "work".
For the CCP-endorsed online paperbin for complaints, see this thread.
On the last few page I have made a summary on the CCP reponses, the actual discussion with CCP didn't happen.

Leave launcher open. Close out your client if you want to change characters, then just click log in again on the launcher, then select the other character when the client opens again. Not very difficult.

There are some 3rth party launchers for eve. For example:
https://github.com/Drezil/eve-mlp

It just retrieves the token and starts the client with it. It can launch multiple accounts and even save passwords.

I'm not sure if that counts as modifying the client. CCP locked a thread about that when it came out and told everyone they would investigate. Never seen any answer to that, but maybe I just missed it.

This guys hacked this launchers together in a matter of hours, I really find it hard to believe what's taking CCP so long to improve some usability issues with a brand new software.

It seams to me it was just the usual "this is just the start, it will soon be awesome". And then nothing...
