Thank you. Now, as a clarification for thread readers:
- By checking the first box you can avoid the launcher all times it isn't necessary. - By checking the second box the launcher will get rid of itself once you open EVE like any other launcher should. - By leaving the second box unchecked you can very easily open several clients at once by clicking "PLAY" over and over and then closing the launcher once you have opened the clients you want.
It has already been noted by CCP the potential the launcher has such as being able to login to multiple accounts at once and possibly moving the account login to the launcher itself and having only character select on the client (which would finally mean you could switch character without having to log back in). They are working on it ( '.')-b The Drake is a Lie |

If you want to launch multiple clients across multiple monitors, each with their own settings, (my jita trader does not need Bloom shaders and AA) you have to either install multiple copies of the client, and patch each one.
Or
You can use a ntfs junction like any sane person should. If you use a ntfs junction and have both those box'es checked, on patch day when you go to launch your two clients, you WILL destroy your install by having two launchers try to patch the same files.
What i used to do: See there is a patch, close extra clients, click 'okay'. Restart all clients and play eve
What i have to do now See there is a patch, close all clients, run launcher & patch. Close launcher, Open clients, see there is another patch deployed in client. Close all extra clients. Click okay. Install patch, relaunch all clients, play eve. If i missclick on a step or forget to close clients while doing the above, run repair tool and try again.
"They are working on it" is a poor excuse. These sort of things should be developed on the test server, not pushed out as soon as you have a good looking splash screen and 'iterate'. Iteration is needed for those things that were never finished, its a good thing... what we don't need is more crap shoveled to us (that we never asked for) while saying 'it'll get better, i promise!'
It was on the test server back in November. Whatever you see now, it was WORSE on SiSi. The Drake is a Lie |

It created Incarna cause they got full of themselves.
My point in saying ti was worse as that to show how they DID take some feedback and did make it better and I could only expect that the improvements will take leaps and bounds based on how much better it was between SiSI and TQ. The Drake is a Lie |

So this begs the question then... What was the point of the new launcher?
They were using the launcher to replace the client doing the updating, not the client updates themselves.
The old process used to be: 1-Open client 2-Get patch 3-Open client 4-Get client patch 5-Restart
The new is now: 1-Open launcher 2-Auto update before even opening client 3-Get client patch 4-Restart
The part at step 2 is what changed. Those patches (not the client side ones) are the ones that CCP wanted to stream line cause they are the vital mandatory ones. Those are the patches that contain bug fixes and crash fixes and such and CCP couldn't put them out very often cause they had to do a big compile into a patch file. Now they can deploy individual files and spit out little updates as fast as they can fix things.
The bit at step 3 in the new process with the client updates is being worked on to be added to step 2 so that there is only three steps: 1-Open launcher 2-Auto patch everything 3-Open client
