CCP Atropos wrote:For those reporting that their settings have been deleted, this issue is simply solved by restarting the EVE Launcher. This happens due to the updater automatically starting the EVE Launcher after it has been updated, with incorrect path semantics.
Secondly for those getting the offline mode webpage from within the EVE Launcher, this is because the EVE Launcher is timing out when attempting to connect to our webservers. We're currently looking into why the webservers aren't responding in a timely fashion, and hope to have this resolved as soon as possible.
Thank you for your patience.
No go on anything tried; "Incompatible (protocol)" is the closest I get (running EXE from ../BIN folder linked elsewhere).
Available for PROFESSIONAL QA of product releases PRIOR to dumping it on your customers, CCP. Please contact me at this toon for rates and availability.

Cheap is as cheap does. Why bother paying for QA people when you having lemmings paying YOU to do the testing?

Any other possible solutions? Once the pages loaded, now they time out; the LauncherV3 loads partially.
Run repair.exe as administrator with "-safemode" switch (per CCP) (especially if you've since tried the launcher after repair), run ExeFile.exe from ../bin folder.

And stop using the Launcher.
Have I said to stop using the Launcher yet?
OH, and you should probably STOP USING THE F'ING LAUNCHER.

Adding to last post of terrible UI design...
3. Have to manually enter account login name if it's different from last successful login
4. Hitting TAB after #3 above takes me to the password field (as it should), but the value in the account name field reverts back to the last account name successfully logged on to.
Seriously, did whoever designed this interface EVER design a user interface before? No, seriously... Cuz, this is just bad. Period.
(And yes, I have over 20 years of PROFESSIONAL interface design in both web and c/s software)

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.
The test server IS NOT and SHOULD NOT be a replacement for proper quality assurance. You want to crowd-source the development and feedback on a product? Awesome, rock and roll. But as soon as you want to make a product PUBLIC to a PAYING userbase, you have certain responsibilities to test the product in-house with documented QA procedures. The stakeholders and shareholders in the company CCP Games should expect no less. Wagging a finger in the direction of a test server means precisely nothing beyond the Alpha stage of a product. If you choose to give CCP a pass on this that's your prerogative, but I can't. This kind of thing happens YEARLY here, which leads me to believe one of two things: either a) there is no established QA process in place, or b) that QA process is ignored or short-circuited somewhere along the line. Management at CCP should pay close attention to that point.

Did none of them multibox? Did they really sign off on this? Were they given a dog and pony show - but were clueless that it was a bait-n-switch show?
Another reason to believe that CSM is a joke.
CCP - do a REAL Alpha/Beta with a enough people to a true sampling space and depth of ideas.
The few CSM that have spoken so far believe that the new launcher is not an issue and that everyone is just bitching because they are afraid of change.
If true, just reinforces my past belief that CSM is basically worthless to the playerbase.

Don't use the launcher. Create a desktop shortcut to the ExeFile.exe in ../bin folder. It's all I use now to get around the complete [expletive deleted] that is the new launcher.

Alicina Goodbody wrote:My update went just fine this morning.
However the "Log Off" button is now missing from the game control panel you get when pressing the Escape Key.
I selected the "Log Off Safely" Button, and watched a tedious clock count down.
After the game exited, the launcher was still there, with my account logged in.
I selected the Play button, the Launcher cleared and it stated client started.
Problem: Client never restarted.
I closed the launcher and logged back in an upon selecting play the game started and I changed to my alt.
I tried just quitting the game with the windows X ornament, and the Launcher again refused to start a new session.
Is this exceptional behavior on my machine, or a known limitation with the new launcher?
I noted these things in an earlier post, too...
If you run just the ExeFile.exe, then the Logoff button is there in the ESC dialog. It's not there if you use the Launcher.

Feels like the launcher may end up like captains quarter's. I removed that the first day and have never used it again. Until they classify this as a "bug" and "fix" it so you HAVE to use the launcher. I'm setting up my shortcut now but I will not be surprised when it no longer works.
I honestly have no doubt that this will only work in the short term, and CCP will, in fact, prevent this from working. Ironic in that, but you're correct, I fear. Even a VM isn't an option for multi-boxing, given the cost/requirement of OS licenses.

People in positions of power/authority say whatever they need to say to keep the masses calm & quiet, with no intention of keeping their word. I don't even need to suggest any real-life examples of this.

Someone suggested in an earlier post that, since CCP is now storing DATA in the Program Files folder for the game, that non-admin Windows accounts can't update the DATA (that is being stored in the wrong place), hence no remembering anything from past logins. Makes sense...
Just odd that a software development company in this day and age are STORING USER DATA IN THE PROGRAM FILES folder...

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?
Same here. I used the Logoff more often than I used the quit. If I was quitting the game session I'd just dock up and click the big red "X". Simple.
The Logoff button *is* still available if you launch the app from ExeFile.exe; it's just shut-off if you use the Launcher.

CCP Guard wrote:The EULA should not appear every time. Apparently a localization backend update accidentally prompted players to have to re-accept the EULA after today's downtime but from here on you should only have to re-accept when we make changes to the text which shouldn't be a common thing.
Thank you for updating us on this ONE issue. I did notice that I don't have to accept the EULA every freakin' time I log in starting this morning, so thanks.
May I humbly suggest a public read-only trouble ticket board for players to look at that can show us when reported issues (not just bugs, but issues such as those reported in this thread) are addressed INTERNALLY? Letting your PAYING userbase watch internal progress for problems reported by users goes a LONG way to customer satisfaction (which translates into good PR and cash for the company)...

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.
For myself, thank you for communicating something. I'm sure it goes without saying that critical issues should be resolved before any kind of public dissection of the causes are aired, but I do appreciate the communication. Maybe keeping us up every couple hours on progress would be appreciated by many, including those that a) still can't get into the app and b) those that don't have the tech saavy to launch the Eve executable directly. The issue of multiboxing, I think we can all agree, is for the coming days after the customers are up and running again.

Fired up ExeFile.exe this morning at home, it updated the client, then insisted on updating the Launcher. Did so, the run EveO from the launcher. Looks like the issues I reported here have been resolved (launcher now works to actually LAUNCH the program, retains account names, etc). It did ask me to approve the EULA 3 out of five times, but whatever...
Also noted that when you "launch" a new account, it keep the old user still logged in. Might have to get used to that (spawning extra copies I didn't expect, but not worth complaining about).
Looks like the latest problem has been fixed (is that 3 days?).

If you're not running as an Admin-equivalent user, you might consider granting your user Write privs on the Program Files\CCP (or whatever it's now called) folder (if you're using Windows directly). If you're using Mac or running from Steam, I can't offer any suggestions.

I still cannot right click paste into the password box. It doesn't log me straight in when I press the log in button. It also forgot my account name from yesterday. So still a long way to go. I just hope the journey will be worth it and single log in is all it's cracked up to be. 
I'm wondering if there are now user rights issues that weren't looked at (or even considered) in the file changes CCP made for the "new" launcher. I run as admin-equivalent on Win8 laptop here and Win8 desktop at home *not* thru Steam, and both were remembering all account names I had logged into since the update from this morning. With this config I haven't seen any problems *yet* today.

Quick update:
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.

I always shut that off to save memory and bloat, but I guess I'll keep it on long enough to let it save the account names.
I'd make a crack about doing CCP's QA job for them here, but I think everyone at CCP gets this point already.

This is the launcher that makes all of us punch babies.......
Seriously, this is the worst experience since ........ well WoW.....
A definite time frame would put my anger to rest.
Thanks. Super easy solution that can be implemented by tomorrow: 1) Get rid of the donkey selector, annoying switcher link and so on. 2) Put a scroll box with the list of all account names, each with a checkbox before it. 3) The players checks all the accounts he wants to log in (the checkboxes selection get saved for the next sessions of course). 4) ONE button to press, which spawns all the checked accounts. Done. Fast, usable, immediate, scalable, requires limited brain and time to implement.
Now that the launcher actually works, your suggestions actually ADD time to the launch process. Click a check box next to an account you want to start? You're assuming a) saving passwords [bad idea] and/or b) a "master" account from which all accounts can be controlled. May I suggest you actually use the Launcher? At home this morning I had to click one button, enter creds, and a second client with that account launched, no problem. Your suggestions are both time consuming and counter-intuitive.

Nope. I just tried it with 4 accounts. Had to wait 15 damn stupid ass seconds between each client launch. Eminently asinine design is still in effect.
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.
I think people are just complaining now to carry on the threadnaught.

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).

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.
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. :)

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: screen1screen2Occasionaly (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. I know i know, were just an annoying bunch of Linux users, but we do need love too, after all... we love the game too....
Holy crap, there's a Linux version?!??!!? Where is the download!??! Cuz, that would be seriously friggin' awesome! I'd love to get Eve on my Ubuntu box at home!

I'm not CCP, but I'll comment on your questions...
Smoking Blunts wrote:why does it not have focus on the password box?
That would come in handy.
Smoking Blunts wrote:why does it still not remember account names after its patched?(you now have a work around, well done customer)
Mine does. Clear the "Close the Eve Launcher" checkbox in the Launcher, launch each account one at a time so it can cached the account names, then re-check the box if you want the Launcher to close after launching. If you do this, you won't be able to launch more without re-launching the Launcher.
Smoking Blunts wrote: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?
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)
Smoking Blunts wrote:why the hell is it validating the client every time its opened?
Mine doesn't. Immediately after launching the launcher I see "Client is ready", no validation here at all.
Smoking Blunts wrote: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?
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.
