I've solved my problem, the only way of updating the launcher itself with my antivirus software running is excluding the launcher subdirectory in the eve directory tree from scanning. This is not optimal but EvE Launcher is a reliable application Roll, and after the updating the eve.exe'll be scanned by the antivirus when it'll be executed.

but can you please
1. make the icon for it look different than the icon for the client so we can differentiate the two (winxp issue)
2. option to auto-close after launching 1 client
3. prevent the splash screen from taking focus of the monitor (does not cover alt-tabbing to other stuff)

2. Already exists - click the screwdriver/spanner button.

I hate on launcher only one thing. I am using multiple accounts and before launcher I can click on eve.exe icon multiple times fast in row and the clients start automatically one by one. Now even when I check option "only display the launcher window, when there is update" the EVE client starts throw launcher, so I must wait, when first client is started and after that I can start another client... if I click for start another client during splash screen, I get obviously alert "multiple instances of the launcher cannot be run from the same directory. This instance will now close."

Resolution will be probably multiple copy of eve directories, but this is really not good solution.

Can you tell me what antivirus program you're using? It would also be helpful if you would contact customer support for your antivirus and tell them about this problem.

We will be looking into this specific issue together with other similar polish that we want to do over the next weeks.

I don't have a problem with the launcher. I think it works pretty good.


I just find point 3 a slight issue.
Firstly, isn't the launcher kind of like a splash screen anyway? It seems a bit silly to have the splash screen right after seeing the launcher.
Secondly, the way it was before was great. If I was using another application before starting Eve I could just click on it and bring in to the front again. Is the change really necessary?
Thirdly, obviously this is only a problem for people who use Eve in window mode. Maybe just have it so the splash screen stays on top of everything when in full-screen mode?
Fourthly, I can just click on it to make it go away. I never tried that before.

At the very least, it would be nice if there was an option in the launcher to disable the splash screen?

It's not that much of a big deal. I'll survive with it, the way it is. Thought a few comments/suggestions wouldn't hurt.

Dear CCP

i have 1 issue with this new launcher/patcher thing. i live in australia where our internet download limits are small, mine is 3gb of download per month, with the old patch system, i could get my ISP to upload the patch to there servers so we could download it without it affecting our download limits, this launcher/patcher **** is gunna make people like me, go over there download limits super easy on big patch days, i vote to bring the old way of patching back so we can get our ISP's to mirror it.

thanks
