EVE Information Portal

this is just awesome and a perfects step in a great direction

its going to be so much easier to swap accounts but cant wait until its exportable...

thnx so mch

I absolutely love this new launcher, it delivers as CCP FourFox showed on Evesterdam.

However - I am not running anything through it until I can import my settings.

I really can't be bothered setting up channels/overviews/settings etc (being in 30+ channels ingame alone), so I will wait with using it permanently until the import feature has been released.

I'm liking the launcher, especially since I could copy it on my nas and not use setup.exe on my boxes

I'd really like a "zip" distrib, but I can live without it.


What i miss the most is the small links from old launcher, especially the patch note link with is one of the most link I clicked, but in all fairness, I think the whole community hub should be accessible from launcher, at least forums


What i fear is the settings managements for the future, ok the EXEFILE was moved, deal with it, but what the heck is this string of numbers at the end of the folder, looks like an ip adress
is it the cluster IP? (didn't check, does it change sometime, that change could be funny)

well, I'd like to suggest, but that's not really a launcher issue I guess, that the settings for the application be changeable, at launcher level for example
that would be great for my nas and multiple computer,
it would make sense to use multiple settings : example 1 big ass desktop for cutting edge survival, 2 lazy couch mining on LCD in front of bed without keyboard so windowed/zoomed (as it is I don't see the use on a local computer for multiple settings)
it would also prevent castrophic clusterfuck settings when using roaming profile or some profile sync software (well this one was a stupid experience, so once again maybe not relevant on a global scale)


More important for me : playing in windowed mode with the windows maximized. as this is still not addressed I made a script doing that i'll test if it works with the new launcher and it's multi lauch option.

ok, so here I go again after testing multilaunch, I have issues

I like my first account to be the one I start playing with. habit, and windowed mode allows me the use of the task bar and ordering there is dependant on launch order.

unfortunately multilaunch is ... not focus friendly : a second, and a third client will steal the focus of the one you are starting to play with, not enjoying that, and ppl in full screen should be really fuming about that (or not if they don't care which client is runing)


I saw that the launcher is using qtlib... I know this one a bit and as a nice multi platform c++ lib as it gets, there is no process control in windows sense (launching minimized, launching no foreground, etc)
it's in the docs and qt forum (qtprocess + windows + minimized)

so I guess we are stuck with this or maybe the "play" button is not using qtprocess but somethin else and we are all saved

alternative would be to add some switches to exefile like 'nofocus', "goinbackgroundyoudunce"



good news, for me anyways, my own launcher for the eve launcher that maximize windows and minimize background ones (to get more fps) is still working after an update


so for me
- no bugs
- missing links/content but survivable
- multilaunch will need getting used to, but SAVING PASSWORD FTW

Adopted


edit - I have a bug... sisi won't launch but logs says access denied from the web server at eveonline, so I guess new build not updated in launcher for a fresh install... or somethin, bug reported

and a feature request : double clicking on a account name to launch the game instead of clicking the small launch button could be nice

Getting "index not available" on the new launcher old launcher works fine when trying to access Sisi.

i have the same as above, logs have this error

error Couldn't get index for "Singularity" - "Error downloading https://d17ueqc3zm9j8o.cloudfront.net/eveonline_969924.txt - server replied: Forbidden"


In the status bar

Is it intentional behavior that the launcher logs in all the accounts upon successfully entering the correct credentials for one account? Yesterday, I manually logged in all my accounts and did not tick the "remember me" box. In the meantime, I closed my launcher, restarted the computer (sleep, wonderful), but I closed the launcher with the accounts still logged in. Today, I logged in one of my accounts and found all other accounts (still?) logged in in the launcher and ready to start.

1. How to get my settings from eve to launcher so I dont have to set everything up from the start?
2. today I could not launch SISI, launcher got stuck at "please wait..." at the patching bar

403 forbidden is more likely caused by missing file ( 404 file not found is not "secure", 403 is better)

the url to the text file for sisi is stating the build for sisi is 969924

when you open the json file in the launcher folder you'll see a url to another text file for sisi http://client.eveonline.com/patches/premium_patchinfoSISI_inc.txt
this "patchinfo" file for sisi says 969924

the build is from yesterday and i'm guessing this URLs and chain of TXT files is new for this eve launcher, look, previous build number is ok : https://d17ueqc3zm9j8o.cloudfront.net/eveonline_968832.txt
did someone forgot to upload the correct file list/manifest or something?

so I fired up a webserver, copied the http://client.eveonline.com/patches/premium_patchinfoSISI_inc.txt and replaced the build number and I modified the severs.json file to go to my local webserver but even then the launcher is ignoring the numbers I set in the files. (this was to test if at least the singularity client was downloading, but no, it still try to go to the latest)


so it is strictly a problem from eve server side, like we always say at work : never patch on a friday :D


EDIT :
never patch TWICE on a friday?! lol http://games.chruker.dk/eve_online/server_status.php there was 2 build yesterday, TQ works fine, that's all that matters anyway. sisi will wait

Sisi should be available again through the beta launcher now - there was a minor issue on the backend.
