If your settings are gone then please restart the client/launcher. This apparently was an issue that could happen with the old launcher update mechanism that we replaced with a better version.
why is the launcher not saving all account names? it seams to randomly delete the last one your entered OMG when can i get a pic here

What I can tell you is that that investigation into what is causing the massive load issues to our web servers is underway and we're not going home until this is fixed. We're really sorry for all the trouble.
the old launcher worked, can you roll that back out? OMG when can i get a pic here

no not really. I have a bad enough time clicking on one of the 8 clients I have installed to find one of the 24 alts I have. a big fat list of 24 alts will drive me mental, ill always be logging in the wrong dude.

-imm The authentication token provided by the launcher is of an invalid format. Please try again or contact EVE customer support.
open the eve folder open the bin folder use the eve.exe from there
you will only have to open the launcher to patch the client if / when it shows incompatible

Since there were no technical concerns left with the Windows version of the new launcher, then yes, we did roll it out. That at the same time an external problem with our web servers pops up is a really bad coincidence, but that could have happened everywhere.
We've noted the concerns that people have about how it changes the way one has to do multi-boxing stuff and we are working on improvements on this. With that regard, though, let it be said that with all the various ways in which people are multi-boxing then it's near impossible to not annoy some parts of our userbase which do this. We do not really like that either and are sorry about this, but it's a situation that we have kind of forced on ourselves by never having done proper support for multi-boxing, and adding proper support now is going to cause some pain to you and us.
this quote is from the test server feedback from the launcher.
knowing that there were previsions made into the old launcher purely for mutiboxers, you removed them all and thought it was fine to upset everyone that used them in the hope that one day soon(tm) you might get round to some half baked solution to what we already had. I don't want my settings saved on some cloud server, I do not want 1 password for 8 accounts to share(how dam insecure is that ffs), I don't need the headache of picking from a list of 23 toons over those 8 accounts.
id love it to remain as simple and as straightforward as it was. the way you broke with this badly set out, badly thought out laucher update OMG when can i get a pic here

CCP Cascade wrote:
So... to the big question: What have we done to support multiboxing:
1. You can make the Launcher only appear when there is an update by selecting that under the startup tab in the settings for the Launcher. That means that the EVE client will start just like it did before, unless there is an update. This is good for those who have installs in multiple locations.
2. Those who have multiple installs or multiple computers at home; You can use the patch import/export feature to import and export patches between installs and computers. Check out the export/import section here
3. If you want to start multiple clients you can just click "Play" again and it will start a new client instance. If you don't want the Launcher to stay after the client is started, you can set this in the settings menu.
How does this sound?.
this is from the march 2012 blog when the launcher first got introduced. can we get this guy back on this project pls OMG when can i get a pic here

Id also love to know if CCP had figures on how many of its customers had actually disabled the previous launcher. It seems like this is a really really unwelcome change . Some of of the issues people are talking about aren't things the Community team can point out a workaround to. All issues that don't have workarounds will have to be looked at by the developers and either they themselves or us will keep you posted on any updates on that front.
there would be no issues if all the concerns raised BEFORE this was released were address, rather than just brushed off OMG when can i get a pic here

Quality Assurance. That's all we're saying, man. Or at least a form of testing before you throw an incomplete, unwanted pile of horse manure at us. It's been on the test server for a few weeks, i'm sure you logged on there to help test it, right? There's no way people would come to forums bitching about a lack of testing on every possible computer configuration without testing it themselves, i'm sure.
I logged in and tested it on sisi. I was very vocal about my issues with it. and CCP Aporia who brushed that feedback aside stating

That is how I used to change characters. I don't think I am the only one. Is there something wrong with that? The button was clearly labled 'Logoff'. Are you saying that is not what it was for? What are the chances of getting it back?
the launcher and the client don't really talk to each other. if you choose restart it does nothing. as it cant tell the launcher to restart.
that's the same for the log off button. to make the launcher seam less shite, it was removed as it no longer functioned.
using the bin folder exe to by pass the launcher, and the log off and restart buttons still work, no launcher to bother talking to OMG when can i get a pic here

CCP TheRambler wrote:Hi, a quick update from Team Roundhouse Kick here: we read your feedback and we deployed on Sisi a new version of the launcher webpage that adds an autoplay feature in the form of a checkbox on the right bottom corner. If checked, the launcher will start the client as soon as the user is logged in and the client is ready, so no additional click is required on your part. If you don't want this to happen, just uncheck it, the launcher will remember your setting either way. This feature was tested internally and now we would like your feedback before pushing it to TQ, please use this thread here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=230690Thanks!
as posted in the sisi feedback topic
the auto play button is a bit better I guess but there is no focus on the password box STILL(extra clicks, you lied) and it still has issues remembering account names. restart still dosnt work, guess the client and the launcher don't talk to each other that well, same with log off. put these button back in a working order please(otherwise extra clicks are required, you lied again)
funny if the server is starting up, you get the old login screen still. I do hope that stays as that means we can still by pass this thing OMG when can i get a pic here

Malcanis wrote:Agreed, proper multi client support is an important feature. Back in the day, we used to have to start two clients to log in twice, but if we're going to have a launcher at all, rather than just directly starting the client, then it really should support multiple logins.
I currently run with 8 client installs to make my gaming experience smooth. different settings for each client, monitor allocations etc etc.
so now im expected to keep 8 launchers open just incase I want to swap between toons on those accounts or i have to swap to 1 client, loose the bulk of my client specific settings and have the launcher only remember 7 account names.

CCP Guard wrote:Hey everyone.
We've had a meeting where we discussed what went wrong around the deployment of the launcher as well as the issues many of you have had with the launcher, the community reaction and our next steps. We realize that communication hasn't been up to par in the last 24 hours. We've mostly focused on messaging workarounds to specific issues in this thread but we haven't been able to address the situation in its entirety. We will be working on writing a dissection of what went wrong yesterday, as well as an FAQ on the launcher, specific problems, and what our next steps are in improving your experience.
This is just the heads up. I wanted you to know that we are working full force over here to make things right with you. Please bear with us for now.
is this going to contain you restoring the functions mutibox user need to actually play eve there way? a yes or no will help pls OMG when can i get a pic here

I have to say that loading the game without the launcher is a definite improvement, so.... good update, I guess? how do you launch from the exefile?
go to the eve folder. then the bin folder contained in it. and then use that eve.exe OMG when can i get a pic here

CCP Aporia - where have you gone. I was looking forward to hearing your replies to the issues ive had regarding this launcher and how the by pass works so much better than it.
why does it not have focus on the password box?
why does it still not remember account names after its patched?(you now have a work around, well done customer)
why does the log off or restart button not close the client and reopen the launcher so I can log alts in WITHOUT leaving 8 launchers running on my desk top while im playing?
why the hell is it validating the client every time its opened?
why are you trying your hardest to remove basic multibox support?
do you know that using the eve.exe from the bin folder allows you to fix all of the above issues?
it retains password focus, it has working log off and restart buttons which don't require me to leave 8 launchers running on my pc. it only cares if the client is up to date and dose not keep checking and lastly and most importantly it provides the multibox support that the launcher does not.
fancy answering any of my questions CCP Aporia ? OMG when can i get a pic here

1. If it closes the launcher, you have the option set to close it. Don't select that option. 2. You don't need multiple instances: I just launched all six of my accounts from a single Launcher instance (and no, mutiple instances of the launcher did NOT get spawned in the Task List)
Edited for only 5 quotes allowed...
your miss under standing. currently using the bin exe. if I want an alt I just hit relog and it brings me the log in screen again. to get that function from the launcher I need to leave the launcher open, close the client and use the already open launcher.
I run 8 accounts from 8 installs. I do not need or want 8 bloody launchers open at the same time. manly dude to waste loading on my pc. but even if I did leave the 8 launchers open, with out it telling me what bloody toons were on that launcher I don't know which is which.
I have multiple installs as over the 8 years ive played eve that's what ive found best for me. each one is named that main toon, and I know which main/alts are on that account. I do not even remember the account names, there saved in the eve.exe, well they were. picking from 8 randomly named accounts from a list, to me is a nightmare. and would equate to pot luck to what toon I would get too.
another reason is use multiple installs is if one goes wrong, I just copy paste another working one over the top of it. I don't have to deal with that repair tool. in under 30 sec my ssd's just produce a none broken install. OMG when can i get a pic here

I personally don't think they are, but I don't get the reasoning behind what they ARE trying to do. Yes, it's been described on the Forums, and no, I'm not going to hunt down the link for you. Um, what??? Read up on why they use a Launcher, and what they're trying to accomplish with it. If you hate launchers, that's cool. But at least educate yourself on what they are trying to do before giving a knee-jerk reaction. Edited for only 5 quotes allowed...
ive read what there trying to do and quite frankly there making big mistakes in there thinking. I had the same thoughts on it last year when they started down this launcher = simpler road and nothing they have done has set my mind at rest tbh. the main difference between last year and now, is last year they were actually hearings peoples concerns, now they just stating there doing this for our own good and they don't care if some of us get annoyed.
