Hated the instal for the new launcher btw, what a clunky difficult way of keeping people playing your game CCP....

1) Having to drag your profile across to another collum in a pop up window without even knowing what it is you are grabbing. I mean really?? Should any player have to do that at that point in their EVE experience? Of course players want to play with the profile they have used before, this isnt rocket science surely.

2) Why do i have to constantly select what profile I want to use each time i log in? Could be operator error here but at the moment every time i log in I need to remember to choose the right profile or i log in to music (EVE has music??) the intro video (which i havent seen in years) and of course everything set to default. Means i immediately have to relog this time remembering to click the right box. Is this me being dumb? Or is it the new launcher?

Yeah, currently there seems no way of associating a profile with an account for multiple account logins. It does mean you have to hit that cog wheel every time to make sure the right profile is selected otherwise you end up with "default" settings even if your profiles are duplicated and you've deleted the default profile.

CCP, it would be great if I could rename my profile to my account user name and then the launcher would automatically pick that profile first for that account log in. Or, I'd be delighted if anyone knows of a work around.
