run repair.exe and then start from the exefile, not the launcher. |

1) Launcher needs to hold more account names. Limit now is 8. I have 10 accounts.
2) Please don't turn the launcher into bloatware, by adding bells and whistles that are not necessary to the basic functions required for sign on and launching the client. E.G. There is absolutely no need for this thing to play videos.

On the old launcher, each fork kept a separate account history, so each desktop shortcut would default to a specific user account. The new one lists the same account at all times.
The very strange part is each fork still opens on its assigned monitor correctly. So it is aware of the forks. This is very strange behavior. Interesting... Am I the only one who posts here NOT having an issue? The first time you log in, fully start client. If the launcher closed, open and start new session. Type in second acct info, log on, rinse , repeat. You should only have to do that once. I have 5 accts setup and is working fine. You may have to reset what acct goes to what screen via esc menu again. This has been working since day one. I fly by the seat of my pants, No wonder my-áass is always on fire! |

Edit: Please explain how you logged in once and launched multiple accounts. Or did I misunderstand what you said?
One account launched; clicked on Launcher, "Switch user account" clicked, pulled down second account from list. Entered password. Clicked Login, then Play. Second client opened to character selection screen. That took 5 seconds. Not sure where you got 15 seconds from, but whatever. 15 seconds between client launches? Can't really blame the Launcher for slow machines, hard drives, or network connections, but OK.

Ran the repairer and then eve.exe. Build downloaded something that completed too quickly for me to see what it was and then opened the Launcher in offline mode again -_-
I then ran the repairer followed by the EVEFile.exe and was able to login without issue, although the launcher is still being bypassed completely.
Thanks for your help!

I noticed that if you have the "Close the Eve Launcher" checkbox selected in the Launcher it will not remember the credentials you logged in with if it wasn't already saved. Clear that checkbox, re-launch the Launcher, and try a different, unsaved account name. It should save it at that point. That'll be it then. Thanks.

Super extra constructive usability suggestion with screenshots!
With reference to this anticipation:
Considering the passwords will be stored in the cloud, the following IS possible to do and will provide easy transition from the current log in scheme to the future "master account" implementation.
Phase 1: current mechanic.
One easy to use check box list with the account names. The choices are only done once, then they are saved so the users will always presented with the saved checkboxes selection already made.
One button to start all the selected accounts (and thus clients).
Screenshot
Phase 2: master account / single sign on.
It's an extension of the above.
Now when you check an account name, it automatically expands and shows the 3 characters in that account. The user chooses which character to play with a simple checkbox.
One button to start all the selected characters, no hassle, no need to select characters in game any more => usability.
This hierarchical selection is more difficult to code, but you can implement it well past Odyssey.

How are you getting around waiting on the "Launching..." thing between each account login? The client is fully loaded in the background behind the launcher and it still makes me wait 15 seconds before "Launching..." turns back into "Play" so that I can click on it again.
Edit: Just to be clear, I'm not waiting on the client. I'm waiting on the "Launching..." button to turn back into "Play" so that I can launch the next client. If you are only waiting a couple of seconds I want to know how. CCP, I understand that "To err is human", but it shouldn't be the company motto... |

After today's patch I'm completely unable to play. I start the game with the exe file, it downloads the patch and exits out as normal, the patch installs and then tries to open the new launcher. As the new launcher can't work out that i'm connected to the internet the patch doesn't complete.
So now when i try to open eve using the exe file I'm stuck in a loop of "An update has been downloaded EVE will now close and apply the patch" with it being unable to complete because your new launcher doesn't work.
use the new launcher pile of sh1te once and that should allow you to use the exe file subsequently without this loop effect retardness. that worked for me |

No delay between Login and Play buttons; From the time I click Play (the button graphic then displays "Launching" and the new client opens (Eve "Logging in" screen) is about 3 seconds for me (first client already running)... the client EXE actually painting the screen at this point before the character selection screen appears.
Edit: Ah, I see what you're asking. I was watching time for actual client launch. It took about 7 seconds for my "Launching" button on the Launcher to change back to "Play", if that's what you're asking. It appears that the Play button isn't selectable until the new client is done instantiating (happens for me right before the character selector screen is painted).

For me it is exactly 15 seconds each time (I've timed it) even when the client is fully loaded in the background waiting for me to click a character. If I try to preempt it by clicking the "switch user account" button early it will let me log in with the next account but I still have to wait for "Launching..." to turn back into "Play".
In other words what used to take me seconds (log in 4 accounts) now takes what feels like forever (around a minute). If that doesn't sound like a long time, try sitting and staring at your screen doing nothing for a full minute. Then multiply that by however many times you switch accounts per day.
So far today I've watched the "Launching..." show for about 10 minutes total and I can tell you it lacks a plot and the characters aren't very interesting. The fact that I am forced to watch it doesn't help any either. CCP, I understand that "To err is human", but it shouldn't be the company motto... |

Ever flown a Charon from one side of Barkrik to the other? I've LITERALLY gotten up, started a new pot of coffee in the coffee maker, and come back before hitting the other side of the system!!
Edit: and your comments are fair, I have to say. I USUALLY only have a max of three toons up at a time, so I honestly don't pay that much attention to the launch time issues many are noting with the new launcher. Point taken. :) "Blow it all on Quafe and strippers." --- Sorlac |

Under wine (Yes linux) i keep getting these lovely empty screens where u want me to put in my login credentials. Of course i know how to bypass your toy, but that does not mean i want to bypass your toy since i am paying you to make it work.
This is what i get on my screen:

Occasionaly (1 times out of 40) i do get to see the login bits, but then of course, as i use linux, you will not let me use wine to login to EVE so it simply does not work again.

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
