The EVE Launcher will be upgraded with new features on May 21, 2013.
This update will be performed automatically as soon as you start your current EVE Launcher. If the launcher doesn't automatically update as expected you can download the new EVE Launcher manually here: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/EveOnlineLauncher/release/EVEOnlineLauncher_2_1_539169.exe
The main change is a new and improved landing page and a new login mechanism which will allow you to log into EVE Online using our SSO (single sign on) service.
WeGÇÖve also included a new self-update mechanism in the EVE Launcher, which will make the update process for the EVE Launcher itself more reliable and allow us to deploy more updates as we work on improving the flow into the game.
In addition to these features, weGÇÖve worked on a new version for the Mac which should also be deployed soon, which brings much closer parity between the Windows and Mac EVE Launchers, with a new embedded browser and low level tweaks to the EVE Launcher.
A devblog about the EVE Launcher upgrade can be found here, further information about SSO is available here.
We welcome all constructive feedback and comments and our developers will monitor the comments closely.

edit:
Serious note. CCP Dev team is awesome! You guys keep feeding us with cool features

The best advice I can give any Eve player, new or old, is to never ever ever read the general discussion subforum. It is a cancer on this game and should just be deleted. |

did you guys properly QA test this new launcher as it did not update by itself.
had to force a manual update through the logfile it tends to write in \launcher\cache\
After this particular nice update the launcher is in offline Modus :/

Launcher.exe was running 6 times (with ~70mb of memory in use for each) but no launcher being shown.
Killed the processes, started it again, it now claims that I'm offline and that the server status is unknown. |

Keep getting error messages after logging in on the launcher e.g.
Unable to download remote build number
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "lib\update.pyo", line 597, in run
File "lib\update.pyo", line 654, in IsUpdateRequired
File "lib\update.pyo", line 215, in __init__
File "lib\decorators.pyo", line 18, in __call__
File "lib\info.pyo", line 182, in GetRemoteBuildNumber
RemoteBuildNumberUnavailable: Unable to fetch build number from server
... (then about 500 words of other text)
But it just gives the option to launch EVE though anyway. To be honest I preferred the old launcher because rather than being able to launch 2 clients at once and THEN log in, you have to "switch character" and then launch it, which is rather annoying. |

1. Alright interface, But what's going to happen to the login screen for the client? Like the music and the cool art.
2. Dual/Triple/Quad boxing is a pain because I have to hit sign in as someone else each time I launch a client.
3. Launcher is slow to load more than one account.
4. HTTP download implementation is good, not everyone can use bit torrent. |

Should I be seeing multiple versions of launcher.exe *32? (2 or more at random every time I open it after killing all running processes.)
Don't seem to recall this process running more than once when starting the game for only a single client. |

For those of you who seem to have lost all of your settings, the AppData folder for EVE seems to have spontaneously changed. Previously my cache and settings were stored in "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_eve_online_tranquility" and it has now created and populated the folder "C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_progra~1_eveonl~1_tranquility"
Check these folders, and copy/paste your settings folder from the first to the second if they both exist. Don't bother copying the cache, it's gigantic and should be deleted just about constantly anyway. |

They just made it hilarious "complicated"/annoying to log in multiple accounts.
The best solution is, to start eve directly from the /bin folder.

But it just gives the option to launch EVE though anyway. To be honest I preferred the old launcher because rather than being able to launch 2 clients at once and THEN log in, you have to "switch character" and then launch it, which is rather annoying. I'm having the same problem, same error message. Can connect to both links, the second one takes ages tho... I suspect the launcher tries calling this file but times out.
Same basic prob for me, I can log into that link but play is greyed out and It doesn't seem to be doing anything.

CCP,
I am also getting the EVE Launcher failed OFFLINE mode issue.
I attempted to launch the game directly and it prompted me for an update, I proceeded to update and it re-patched and updated the launcher again. Once this was all complete the launcher was still in offline mode. I attempted to launch the game client directly and all I am getting is "Download complete press OK to update".
Needless to say, I can't get on like everybody else.
Are we all going to get a free Day of EVE for this mess like you have provided in the past?

Taken me over 5 minutes to connect to client.eveonline.com the text file loaded after maybe 4 minutes.
I started the repair tool, but it took several minutes to start.
Ran ping/traceroute and saw no errors or any latency.
When I run EVE, if I can get the client to come up I get a incompatible (protocol) error next to the TQ status.
EDIT:
After running the repair tool, launching eve manually has started to work. |

Same problem here....finally got eh launcher updated, stuck in offline mode. Restarted 5, 6 times now, nothing changed. Try to launch via the bin .exe, then I get incompatible protocol.....this better not screw up my multiboxing, otherwise my 90$ a month for 6 Eve accounts might find it's way into something more useful.....like alcohol, perhaps. |

Just got a 6.1MB patch from the binary. That broke too.
"Errors occured"
"See the logfile 'C:\Users\********\AppData\Local\Temp\nsi99.tmp\patch_win.exe.log' "
Folder was empty. But I imagine it had something to do with access permission to the EVE folder structure.
Tried launcher again. Giving me the error code: 29FB988E-9E1E-41AC-919A-085EBCAE3DE1
Running repair tool....

WOW,
I will not file a dam bug report, Can I even do that without logging in? Why should I waste more of my time? I don't get payed to help you fix the mess you made that you did get paid for. In fact, I pay to play this game, which I now can not play because you broke the game launcher. And you expect me to bend over backwards to help you fix it??
How many players complained about issues with the new launcher on SiSi, Almost nobody could get it to work right. You ignored player feed back and released it anyway. Now we have a huge mess.
CCP also seems to be ignoring most of the player concerns about the Odyssey Expansion. Will that too end up in a big mess?
Is not ignoring the community what got CCP into so much trouble with Incarna??
Well as they say history repeats itself, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Fix it today, or revert to the old launcher until you can get it to actually work. Dam, I have not felt like this since Failcom drove me from AoC. It went free to play, and I still will not play it, as I lost all respect for its developers. |

And every bug reported weeks and days ago is now again in this thread. If you roll out software to TQ actually make sure that the bugs ALREADY reported are fixed. o7 boot.ini

If by connecting you mean simply clicking the links then the first link takes 2 min or so to connect to a very sparse
looking webpage, the 2nd shows launcher info and is fast to show page.
Can we have a launcher restart count similar to the ship spin one pwease ? 14 and counting but I could of lost count though....
Marginally better effort than the boot.ini fiasco :)

It's not normal that I feel the need to post negatively in these threads, but this new launcher only recently appeared on Sisi in it's current state - there was a lot of negative feedback about it - particularly for those running multiple accounts. It's a massive pain to login multiple characters quickly. To see the launcher suddenly appear (and even more broken) on the live server seems to be a massive mistake.

Tried the workaround suggested (running the exe file itself and therefore bypassing the launcher) but although I get the old log-in screen apparently it is 'not compatible' when I try to log in.
Anyone else got any other ideas or do we need to wait for CCP to repair whatever damage has been done? Sounds like this launcher is going to be a PITA even when it is working for users with multiple accounts... |

Thank you CCP for great and cool looking new Launcher. I know that the old one was bit old, not so cool looking. And most importantly it worked quite fine. We really needed that new one. Who want's old stuff anyway.
Now i have launcher which went from Unknown status of the server to blank window after repair and won't launch the game. Which is actually quite nice. At least i have something to. I guess it's some kind of new minigame from CCP side. "If you can log in, you are winner."
Thanks again, please DO CONTINUE in releasing half done things. I have big expectations with Odyssey. Please do not dissapoint me!
Also i will gladly pay you 1,495Gé¼ per month and all will be just fine. |

If you run the repair tool, apparently it will fix your eve.exe (bypassing the launcher) and you can run that.
However some people have been getting fatal errors when doing that too. |

Check these folders, and copy/paste your settings folder from the first to the second if they both exist. Don't bother copying the cache, it's gigantic and should be deleted just about constantly anyway.
EDIT: The AppData folder on OSes other than Win7 will be in different places and the folder names will vary depending on your EVE install location.

I just started the launcher, updated it and got to same offline page as others.
Then I started exefile.exe which tells me there is a 6mb update.
Downloaded it, installed it.
Then launcher update started automatically again, finished, launcher starts, offline.
If I start exefile.exe it will go through all this again over and over.
Tried repair, says OK, I start launcher, guess what - updates itself then says I'm offline. |

Same problem as everyone else, when I run the repair tool it does its thing then after I launch the game it patches and re-breaks itself. So that's awesome.
On a fun side note, my GF left her launcher open overnight, when she pressed play it did a "patching 1/4" bar in the old launcher, then it all patched fine and she can log in. It was using the old launcher but since she never closed it it worked fine and shes ingame with around 30k other people.
I also cant run the binary file (First thing I tried), since the game goes to the log in screen but then demands a 6mb patch which "apparently" installs fine, but then if I relaunch the binary it just does it again, and again, and again. And launching the launcher just rebreaks things.
Fix Please. |

the link to the .txt file works, the other links does not, saying "Service Unavailable HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable."
launching bin/ExeFile.exe works here. errors might come because there was also a patch which the old launcher dowloaded right after dt (thanksgod!).
the last line from my linux terminal is
[0521/172040:ERROR:network_change_notifier_win.cc(111)] WSALookupServiceBegin failed with: 8
and then nothing more happens. restarting the launcher impossible, because the (old) task isnt ending (stays in taskmanager)

The connection issues are being investigated. This is a simple (but extremely annoying) case of our webservers not responding.
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.

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.

You mean that the launcher won't start the client unless it can pull down ads from your webservers?

I was having the 'offline' issue also. Quick workaround to get in game:
1. Run repair tool in C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE
2. After it finishes run direct from the bin directory: C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe

- I press play on EVE
- It waits
- Then I press ok
- Then it goes to log-in screen
- Then it says Incompatible Version
- Then I go to forums
- There it says QA was outsourced to a hermit in Douchebaggistan.

Excellent work!
I'm actually more annoyed that it was released when it was clearly unfriendly towards multiboxing than over the 'You're totally offline dudebro' error.
What exactly was the huge rush in releasing this before you made it friendlier for people with multiple accounts? You might have even fit some more testing time in there. Instead, you end up with a bunch of people wigging out that it's incapable of remotely working properly and have actually made it more difficult for the majority of your customers to log in. |

But it just gives the option to launch EVE though anyway. To be honest I preferred the old launcher because rather than being able to launch 2 clients at once and THEN log in, you have to "switch character" and then launch it, which is rather annoying.
I had the same message as above and then I started eve with the option the 'launch EVE' and then it crashed 3 times while putting me into a station. Now it was stuck on the OFFLINE screen no matter how many times I restart it, so I manually downloaded the launcher ran the program and it keep coming up with the option to 'ignore' etc cetain files so I downloaded it again and then it looked like it installed but when I went to run it it went back to the OFFLINE screen.
I hope this amount of details helps yal fix it, thx |

"BETTER" is a quality that you seem to misunderstand, the launcher has been slightly buggy but functioning as required almost since you released it. Removing said bugs for a SSO and other improvements, which then breaks the launcher, means this code is "WORSE".

This. The launcher is about nothing more than advertising. It's a joke, and it's completely broken right now. All because they want to force users to read advertisements.

Dear CCP,
I believe your launcher is a decent piece of work, However it seems that you did not thoroughly look at user feedback or tested it before hand as there seems to be slow responses from the servers that the new Launcher depends on. The design may look good but it is not functional, Good looks are shallow if there isn't the heart to back it up.
Now this situation is reminiscent of the Captain's Quarters from the Incarna expansion where you passed on to us, the players, an update that did nothing to expand or help the player experience. This is not what we wanted, nor what we needed. It seems again, that there has been a mistake made and the price will the same as always.
I urge you now graciously to accept your mistake and offer up an apology.
Sincerely,
A Paying Customer.
As for anyone wanting to login without the launcher.
Navigate to your EVE install and go in to the '/bin' folder and run exeFile.exe to run the client directly.
EDIT: If you have an incompatiable protocol come up, use the repair.exe |

Don't you think tying the launcher into the web servers is a mistake? Not only is the main eve site sort of prone to time outs, errors and general finickiness but this provides a convenient target for anyone who would want to DDOS your player base. |

repair.exe saved my day.
That launcher is supposed to patch the game but it is failing at this, but repair.exe still works, at least mine did and having multiple backups from the installation helps a lot.
Also running client directly from the bin directory takes about 1 sec and running the launcher takes 10 maybe 15 |

Repair and play.
1) C:\CCP\EVE\repair.exe
1a) If the repairer fails - re-run it until it completes.
2) C:\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe
The game should load and let you connect without issue..
DO NOT under any circumstances re-run the patcher or this will break and you will have to do it over again.

Oh the shitstorm... seems to be a sneaky little bug, from what I can guess with my limited insight, the server holding the launcher content (https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3) takes too long to respond when the launcher makes a request and therefore the launcher assumes that you don't have a internet connection and sends you to Offline mode.
I can connect to both links but the one to the launcher content is slow as hell, takes about 3-4 minutes to load. could simply be a overload issue with too many requests or something like that. |

I used to have the same problems that everyone refers to in this thread.
I tried to launch the game by avoiding the launcher, using exefile.exe located in the bin folder of the game. It asked me to update the game, over and over. Then, I used the repairtools, and try again to launch the game using the exefile.exe. Now, it's working just fine, over my two computer. I have my two characters connected to the game at the time I'm writting this.
I should probably go to mine now !
By the way, I tought Frenchies were the greatests haters around the world. I was wrong !
Oh, I won't spit over a few thousand SP to both my accounts !

Thanks! However, the launcher crashed. Maybe because http://client.eveonline.com/patches/win_launcherinfoTQ_inc.txt isn't responding during this year for me (loading, loading,.... goto 1) |

OK, Repair and then run from the Exe in Bin does indeed work, at least for Vista Home SP2. Can't guarantee it'll work for you, but did the trick for me...

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. First of all, "semantics" is the study of meaning. Is there a hidden meaning in the paths you choose?
Well, now you're making a semantic argument about semiotics. :P

The new launcher is Okish. It does not kill the multiboxers tbh. Example:
Previous launcher:
Step 1: Open the launcher
Step 2: Click play button 3 times to bring up 3 clients.
Step 3: Enter the Username and password / x3 times
New launcher:
Step 1: Open the launcher
Step 2: Insert Username and password
Step 3: click Switch user account
Step 4: Hit play /Repeat step 2,3,4 x3 times
The new launcher has 1 step more clicking "Switch user account " every time after clicking play. IMO is not really a big hussle because it comes naturally and does not lag at all.
You will open faster 5 accounts with the new launcher simply because lags less doing it trough launcher. With previous method u had always to wait the main screen to load up.
The main drawback is that we won't enjoy the visuals and music of the launching screen. if the Launcher was something like League of legends one, animated and with music with the option to turn the animations and music off/on, than it would be something

Launcher: doesnt work, says server is offline
Exe file in bin: doesnt work, says protocol problem
Repair tool: doesnt work, says "error occured", and after about 5 minutes of waiting (doesnt even explain anything, it just refers to the specific adress where is the repair tool located) |

Launcher in offline mode... reading the above I won't even try next steps (killing processes / repair tool ect).
Well, another evening without EVE.
Question: why do we have the launcher again? |

Go to your eve directory ( where you save your eve files) mine is located here: D:\CCP\EVE\bin
In the bin folder, click and run the eve exefile; should say that exact name. It has the old launcher. Works every time for me. Try it and see if it works. If so please plus 1 here and provide feedback.

For those having issues with the Repair tool, you may have to run it several times. If you see a window with Error in the title and it refers you to a log file then you'll have to run it again. When it runs properly you'll see the EVE Online Repair Tool window.
That being said, this may actually take a while to work, if it works at all. Just be patient and let it fail on its own. If it does, try it again. Sucks, but it seems to work when it actually runs. |

My launcher is stuck at 100% in step 3 of 4, Applying the patch. Nice job. Usually, if Step 3 is 100% complete, it's time to move onto Step 4.
I was on, as normal, after downtime. There was a small patch, but no big deal. Then I logged off for an hour or so and tried to restart. I got a request to run an updater, and the updater seems to have installed the new launcher. The new launcher requires that I type in my account details into the launcher itself, and the big orange "Play" button on the bottom right corner is gone.
So I type in my details, and the screen changes so that there is a "Play" button. But the button is greyed out. At the bottom of the launcher, the updating process is stuck on the 3rd step of 4, applying (another) patch. The thing shows that the patch is 100% applied, but it isn't moving on. And the "Play" button is greyed out. |

1) C:\CCP\EVE\repair.exe
1a) If the repairer fails - re-run it until it completes.
2) C:\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe
The game should load and let you connect without issue..
DO NOT under any circumstances re-run the patcher or this will break and you will have to do it over again.
-=-=-=-
Note - This took me about 5 minutes for the repairer to run.
Took the repairer twice failing before it would work, but now I'm in. Thank you. |

I'm not sure how to pull a bug report for something that doesn't seem to want to load. When I try to start the launcher, nothing happens for a few moments, then I get a warning telling me I'm not online, but I can try to start EVE anyways. When I do, it tells me my version is wrong.
I tried to run the repair tool but nothing happens. |

Well, all i get is this:
i started the launcher, like i always do, and it started updating, so i guess ok, i'll wait a sec.
And since then nothing works.
i get a White launcher screen with only a black bar at the top saying : EVE Online Launcher v 2.1.539169 , a minimise button and a close button.
the area where normally the information, news, update bar, and start button should be is all white.
Also, he opens up a webpage in my browser : http://www.website-unavailable.com/main?wc=EWJmHhd5DR1fAR1uBwkD&url=none%2Fen%3Fsteam_token%3D%26server%3Dtranquility&w=900&h=573&ifc=0
So basically, i cant get into the game, the launcher does nothing, tried downloading the update manually from here, and still, nothing.
i have no idea how to provide logs or whatever, i am not that good in all computer related stuff. |

Guys, I had the same issue. I was playing then relogged to switch toons and it did the update and Bam! Offline mode :(
Anyways, I used this work-around by going this route, my computer> local disk> program files (x86)> CCP> Eve> Bin> then run the Exefile.
Basically it by-passed the launcher and took me straight to the log-in screen. Which is damn lucky as I only had minutes with which to activate a plex on one of my toons :)
Hope this helps |

I think I'm less upset that the launcher is broken for myself, and so many others, and far more perturbed at this notion that the two EVE Devs who are monitoring this thread not only don't understand what the problem is, but have not helped at ALL to fix it.
The two linked posts in the beginning of the thread link to two posts that are not solutions to the problem. |

Repair tool: Five attempts at least made it open a window. Been looking at this for five minutes now with it showing "starting...".
Part of me wants to scream why CCP can't simply ******* test their crap before rolling it out. Then again, another part of me knows that you can't possibly test any complex application in truly realistic circumstances.
So what do I think? Other than "Crap this ain't working" I don't know. |

UPDATE ON THE REPAIR TOOL:
It took me 12 tries but the repair tool finally connected to the CCP server without an error. I'm going to see if I can start the client after it finishes. Hope this helps keep trying to repair even though it fails.
The repair tool takes about 5 minutes for anything to happen btw so it'll be a long wait gents.
EDIT: Btw I had multiple repair tools open at once until I got one to work then I exited the rest of the failed ones.
That should speed along the process. |

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).

I did the following:
Run Repair Tool > Failed due to errors
Run Repair Tool Again > Does an "update", shuts off when complete
Run Repair Tool Again > Brings up Repair Tool Box and checks game integrity. Does the full repair finally.
Launch from the CCP/EVE/bin/EveFile.exe application. Works like a charm.
Not to repeat the previous posters and sound like an unoriginal ****, but nice QA.

Anyways, I used this work-around by going this route, my computer> local disk> program files (x86)> CCP> Eve> Bin> then run the Exefile.
Basically it by-passed the launcher and took me straight to the log-in screen. Which is damn lucky as I only had minutes with which to activate a plex on one of my toons :)
Hope this helps
Nope, because then the client starts and says: incompatible protocol, on my windows 7, 64bit OS.

That means it failed, keep running it until it actually runs. It's trying to connect to the service, which is intermittent at best. |

I should have known better than to update for TQ after this launcher update died for my Singularity installation.

Now it is updating and repairing.
Hope that will fix the problem.
1. launch of repair exe updates the repair.exe themself.

I don't know if this was the actual reason I eventually got in, but the c:\Users\USERNAME\APPDATA\LOCAL\CCP\EVE
copy thing worked for me. THere were three folders, two of which pointed to the installation directory of Eve i.e. "C_Program..."
One had folders the other didn't...after copying folders from one to the other I got in...it gave an error but there was a launch button and I was in. Many are in gaming. Someone else posted this method earlier in the thread...again it might be a fluke, but I am in and playing.

https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3 > Yes, but only after an unreasonably long wait time (almost 2 minutes of waiting.)
http://client.eveonline.com/patches/win_launcherinfoTQ_inc.txt > Yes and No, First attempt finally timed out and reported that service was not available after about 2 minutes. Second time the site loaded after about 45 secs.
For everyone reporting the "no internet connection detected" issue, I would venture to guess, that the launcher is querying one of the 2 sites the Dev linked, and the reason the launcher is telling us that "No Internet connection could be detected" is because the pages are failing to load/respond within a very short response frame. So it inst really that the launcher isn't able to detect an internet connection, but rather a "Page failed to respond in a timely manner" error.
One other thing, where did the Launcher Settings button go, the little wrench and hammer icon for changing the way the launcher does certain things? |

As they indicated it is a server side problem, not the launcher itself. Reverting to the old launcher wouldn't help. This is likely a case of a server dying due to heavy load, something that can happen everywhere. Remember the last time a major online game/expansion launched totally fine? Yeah, me neither.

I found this in a thread.
Run the Repair Program in your Eve folder AS ADMINISTRATOR (causes errors and wont repair at end if you dont)
Run the game WITHOUT RUNNING THE LAUNCHER AS ADMINISTRATOR (this is located in the eve folder, in the bin folder, called ExEfile.
This was the only way I could start the game.
MS Calypso pointed the way.Thank you very much.Kudos to you!! ccp go **** yourselves with your latest abortion of an update.Nonstop incompetence just goes on and on.

This is concerning that a computer gaming company can not update a launcher.
1. They knew of this problem in the testing server and released it anyhow.
2. They have little to no quality control and are PURELY profit driven.
3. You can tell the Dev's bought in to the "Buisness" side of the company.

Logged in using exefile, and will continue to do so until the launcher issues in this thread are smoothed out.
regards the launcher itself, when it works its good, just hope the next step is being able to go back to character selection when we need to switch rather than all the way back out to the launcher.

Finally made it in, here is how you have to do it:
1. Go into C:/Program Files (x86)/CCP/EVE and run the repair.exe. You may have to run it multiple times as it seems the repair tool is corrupted. Eventually it will update the repair tool and run the repair.
2. Go into C:/Program Files (x86)/CCP/EVE/bin and run the ExeFile. This will bypass the launcher, and, if you're run the repair program, will keep you from getting the incompatible protocol error.
Hope this helps. |

K, try manual update, worked but now broken.
Try bypassing Launcher, use bin/exefile - protocol incompatible.
Everything broken? REPAIR using repair.exe - nope, that's broken too.
Elevated command line with safemode argument? Nope, that's broken too.
Elevated command line with safemode argument as Administrator? Broken.
Really???

Tried directly clicking C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\EXEFile. This opens the EVE launch screen, but there's a modal pop up window entitled 'Ready to Update' that cannot be bypassed. All it does is redownload and install the non working launcher.
Let's hope things go a little smoother for Microsoft today at their X-Box shindig.

please have a look at your code - the new Launcher and the new Repair tool seem to consist of 20% waiting cycles and 30% junk while the other 50% actually do something .. just managed to initiate the repair on the 10th or so try - and look for 5 minutes at "starting...." at previous attempts it started repairing right away (mind this is a 3.4 Ghz Quadcore , not a processor from the 80's ) |

Seems i also have the pleasure of downloading this borked update! Can connet to both the sites mentioned earlier so long i dont mind waiting a week or 2 for each! Gonna attempt the various work arounds suggested now but frankly CCP i should not be having to look for work arounds! Something as important as the game launcher requires extensive QA testing >before< not >during< live launch!!! |

Hmm, where do I start with this one?
Timeouts should be configurable It looks like a lot of these issues are related to timeouts accessing some web server resources (e.g. links posted by CCP before).
Infrastructure Resiliency- Hi, welcome CCP to 2013. You should be planning for these kinds of things and any single point of failure that isn't related to actual TQ cluster resources, you should have a resiliency for - like say Amazon (pick your cloud vendor).
Back-out Procedures - I'm not sure we've looked into this enough. It's pretty standard for a change management process to have a cut time where if it isn't working in say 10min, you roll back to previous good state. There are lots of tools to help with this kinda of thing (chef/puppet/EtcKeeper) - but you've got to have this as a process.
Enough with the cowboy **** CCP, I think it's time to mature your processes! |

1. Go into C:/Program Files (x86)/CCP/EVE and run the repair.exe. You may have to run it multiple times as it seems the repair tool is corrupted. Eventually it will update the repair tool and run the repair.
2. Go into C:/Program Files (x86)/CCP/EVE/bin and run the ExeFile. This will bypass the launcher, and, if you're run the repair program, will keep you from getting the incompatible protocol error.
Hope this helps.
This!
I had big problems getting repair tool to start (took me maybe 10 or more tries, more than 15min at least), make sure all Eve related processes are closed.
But this is it, working if u use the above advice.

Since a lot of people can't seem to read:
The launcher is goofing up because the source on the webserver is acting up. Once it reaches the webserver it gets the info it needs to patch. They're aware of this, they fix that the launcher works fine.
Something something settings lost: there's a dev post for that, go read it.
Bypassing the launcher: You all really don't know how computers work at all do you? This has been how the game actually runs even before the launcher was a thing. I'm sure Macs can do something similar but junction your folders in Windows(google it), create pinned shortcuts on the taskbar/start for your different accounts and boom done. Getting the Pinned stuff to point to the right folder takes a little dance that I can't recall but it can be done. L2Computer. |

Awesome work on your launcher.
I tried launching with /bin/evefile.exe it says invalid protocol on the login page
I tried changing the build number in commom.ini and launchin the repair tool, doesn't work either.
A word of advice, when a new feature doesn't work on that many client/computer/suscriber and that issue prevent the customers from entirely playing the game, then you should probably review your testing and QA process. Someone clearly screwed up. |

Stand on right foot only while keeping all toes except your biggest one on the ground (almost impossible)
put left hand on top of head and pat it like you would a small puppy
put right hand on stomach and rub in a circle like your belly is full from good food.

Your launcher is crap and only good for players with ONE account.
So why you advert all the time buddy program and other "second account" if you not support of using more accounts at same time? I pay 2700 USD in a year for YOU CCP EVERY year, and I think ONLY on MY money you can pay few normal developers and not idiots, and I want for my money professional service and not just crap in all patches, especially when some idiots from CCP compleatly crash all good and worked thing and change them on new crap, and here I mean your crap launcher and crap reballance there you simply modify 8 years OLD ships and simply manipulate with ships bonuses and atribute and not create NEW ships with NEW bonuses. This database changes doesn't worth for me 2700 USD in a year ! |

Not claiming to have a fully working fix here - but it worked for me patching up my other computers so if anyone want to try go for it.
If the straight exefile.exe launch does not work and showing incompatible protocol you could try this file.
http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip (it's the files that got modified for me today, 50mb)
Copy and while launcher will still most likely fail, start the exefile.exe straight from the \bin folder.
On your own risk ofc but worked fine for me.
Else many suggested running repair.exe which seems to work in some cases.

But they know that we'll stay here no matter what ... nobody wants to loose millions of SP/ISK, the addiction is well printed in our brains, we start eve when we wake up to check the market/POS or whatever ... as well as we start it before sleeping to check the skills queue.
Anyway, I'm not here for long ... it's my 3rd attempt to play eve in couple of years ... let's hope they'll fix it soon and besides this, let's all hope that they will learn something from it, mistakes happen ... we're humans after all.

How many times do we have to tell you not to fix things that are not broken? Everytime!
And what, did you give the QA / Test department the week off? Tell them their bugs are bullshit and you'll fix it later? When? After people quit there subscriptions?
Stop telling people to file bugs, get on the forums and start talking to them. Its your fault this is happening. Your test environment and live environment need a synching. Meanwhile roll back the launcher it's obviously completely ****** up and not ready.

Took like 40-50 tries to get the repair tool running, it downloaded some data and then vanished like it crashed or something, nothing more happened.
Ran it again maybe 5 times and nothing happened, 6th time or so it says "Starting...", sits like that for 3-5 minutes and then it goes active, takes 5 minutes or so until it completes
Now i could start eve by using exefile.exe, i don't dare touch the launcher until maybe next week as one can only assume it will mess everything up again.. |

Hope that will fix the problem.
1. launch of repair exe updates the repair.exe themself.
2. launch of repair.exe updates eve.
Didn't work at the end. :(
run repair.exe over and over, for me it failed to do anything several times but it eventually worked. Then you'll discover that there's a patch for the game client that the repairer will download - that solves the protocol problem which will then allow you to start the game from the bin folder. |

They know that they have an issue, they're working to fix it. Be patient.

Absolutely infuriating...
I manually downloaded the launcher, get offline mode
Manually launch the game, I get incompatible protocol
Wait a few and it asks me to patch, when I run the patch it completes successfully, but DOWNGRADES THE LAUNCHER and STILL gives me "Incompatible Protocol" when I launch the game manually.
Wait a few minutes, it asks me if I want to patch, and the whole process starts all over again.
I cannot access either of the sites posted by the DEV earlier.
I get that you guys do a lot to build and maintain your game (the best game out there IMHO), but this was an EXTREMELY sloppy launch day by any measure.
Please get back to us on how to fix this. |

I usually swallow everything CCP throws at me, either "balancing" or crapnerfing and so on.
This is plain outrageous! The launcher doesn't start anymore, starting eve.exe directly brings the error message that no internet connection could be established, a message that can simply be ignored.
But, all log-in data ist lost, as well as all my igb browser bookmarks, overview settings...
Redoing it for all my chars ist just unnecessary pain! Besides, anyone telling me, that I would have to restart the Eve Launcher....
It doesn't start.... So far, no bugfix for me. At least I can play, but I have to redo all my settings...
And Incursion fleets cannot form up as too many players can't start Eve correctly.
WHY CHANGE WORKING SYSTEMS??????

v.2.1.539169 Launcher gives me the following message. 'OFFLINE MODE - You are seeing this because no connection could be made to the content server or something went wrong while loading the online content.'
Running ExeFile.exe opens EvE version 8.22.534348, but the Tranquility server status is: Incompatible (Protocol). It also tells me that i need to update eve; however when i do the update nothing changes.

Again: It is a server related problem. The launcher works fine, it requests data from the server which does not send it. While I can't be sure that it is a hardware problem it very much sounds like one. See https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3062006#post3062006

These services went down because one of Amazon's zones went down and companies didn't pay to have their service split across multiple zones.
Also - in what I'm proposing, the CSP (cloud svc provider) would be CCP's alternate plan. I'm sure we all speak enough math to understand what that would do to the overall system failure rate.

Maybe works for Windows as well if you just wait on the log in screen for 5-10 minutes when u see incompatible protocol after bypassing the launcher |

Everything was fine for me just before the patch, but now nothing seems to be working. I cannot check my characters' ISK balance through any apps, the new launcher says I am offline, the repair tool gets stuck and does not run, launching EVE through steam says incompatible protocol, and launching exefile.exe either gives me an error or says "no connection".
I've had the launcher up for half an hour and the repair tool running for an hour and nothing has happened so far, it hasn't picked up any updated or fixed any files. |

any btw many people are online with the success of running the exefile in the bin folder of your ccp folder. try it and if it doesn't work oh well. They are working on the issue. Problems happen
My work with programming comes with some understanding. You cant find every problem... would take years for a team to do it. So that is why you release your product to the world and get feedback on issues. They then recreate it and find the problem that way (BUG REPORTS).
Give them time. I am sure a 911 call went out somewhere in the world and all of CCP are at work with huge 55 gallon drums of lube trying to figure out how to grease this puppy up so it will run good for a few more days.... geeze have fun with this forum instead of crying like a baby...im playing eve and minecraft booyah |

Log Off - is no longer an option, you have to just quit the game and restart the launcher over. At that point, I'm back to the same 'ol "Offline Mode - Server Status Unkown" awesome.

I will admit, when I went into the C folder looking to launch the game another way, I was tempted to just uninstall everything after this fiasco.
And, for the DEVS attempting to help, I appreciate your responses beginning with the first page of this thread; HOWEVER,
It seems we need a DEV with the coding, technical understanding of the game and patch info, as well as files in the folders. No offense, but "niceties" go out the window when tech support information is what most of us here need.
EDIT For information that may already exist between pages 7 and 29 of this thread, I apologize. I just did not see 1/2 my day going to delving through the rest of our fine players saying" FIX MY ****, YO" or "CCP NICE UPDATE." |

The server died. And yes, I can't be sure it is a hardware problem, but a system breaking under heavy load is indicative of a hardware related issue. The client side of the launcher works, it's the server that has the problem. And nice try with the "CCP alt detected". I smiled a bit.

If you aren't training, that's your fault. CCP implemented the training queue years ago.
They know that they have an issue, they're working to fix it. Be patient.
At 18:12 my main has finished training (right now 18:39) and was going to resume training in this one. Can you queue between two chars? It's not the time spent in fixing this (repair.exe still have not crashed, and it's the first time), but it's time spent in this and not in other things, like my final DW project in software engineering, 'cause CCP don't pay someone to do proper QA. That's why we whine.
BTW, repair.exe still have 01h50m+ |

Opening via the /bin thing however, gets me to the login page but with an incompatable protocol error
I ran the repair tool, first time it crashed, 2nd time it patched itself, then it failed 3 times posting its error report to a folder which doesnt exist, then it fixed eve and I can login via the /bin method \o/
and we say CCP are dumbing down the learning curve of EvE? lol

Frustration Mounts.....Updated Launcher....Then get the following "OFFLINE MODE" "You are seeing this because no connection could be made to the content server or something went wrong while loading the online content."
I've tried the following
"Restart Launcher" Link in Launcher....get the same results.
Manual download and install of updated launcher....get the same results.
Ran "repair.exe" it ran and gave me the message that the repair failed.
Tried just running the eve.exe and eve.exe (safemode) to bypass launcher....they both open the broken launcher.
Tried "https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3" and get to "Launch eve online as: bishopgwa" but the "PLAY" button is grey and does nothing when I click on it.

I got the blasted thing to work after a few tries and I can run it from a shortcut.
Gripes:
- The account name pulldown does not seem to work (only my main account is visible, not the others)
- I cannot say I like the extra click (PLAY) needed to start the client. Note that 99.99% of the times I log in I want the client, not other services. Please make 'show service window' a checkbox under the login prompt.
- The client prints some texts on top of each other during client start. |

Experiencing the same issues as everyone else, including the Bin not working. I think the real question is when will another patch be pushed that fixes this current fiasco? Additionally will the fix either make the GÇ£newestGÇ¥ launch actually work? Or will it remove the failed attempt and revert back to the known functioning launcher? |

Quote:Rejoice Capsuleers as the EVE Launcher will be upgraded with new features on May 21, 2013.
This update will be performed automatically as soon as you start your current EVE Launcher. The main change is a new and improved landing page; you will now log into EVE Online using our SSO (single sign on) service.
WeGÇÖve also included a new self-update mechanism in the EVE Launcher, which will make the update process for the EVE Launcher itself more reliable and allow us to deploy more updates as we work on improving the flow into the game.
In addition to these features, weGÇÖve worked on a new version for the Mac which should also be deployed soon, which brings much closer parity between the Windows and Mac EVE Launchers, with a new embedded browser and low level tweaks to the EVE Launcher.
So, was this written BEFORE or after the update was deployed? |

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.

Go here and download this

Install
Overwrite Launcher
CLOSE Launcher (It did not load your settings)
Delete all current Toolbar and Desktop Icons.
Start > Programs > Eve > Eve Launcher
Run Launcher.
Restart launcher until you get login page (this issue is server side)
Set up new desktop Icons.
PS: There is a server side issue with the web based login. This is because using the HTTP protocol to log in is slow and subject to timeouts under heavy load. It was not designed for for this.

This minor update is an incredible pain.
I can only connect to the second of the links the dev posted, launcher leaves me in the we can not find the server limbo so many others have had happen to them.
Repair run as admin did not work
Spamming the relaunch button did not work
Going into the /bin directory and launching the exe file manualy did work.
Thanks for finaly giving me the impetus to just ignore your launcher all together CCP as I have created a shortcut to the following file and will bypass your launcher all together from this point forward.
Note this is on a windows 7 PC.

Ty for resetting all my channels and my entire client. It's been a long time since i wanted you to do it for me, especially with a stupid launcher change, wich should have nothing to do with it. I enjoyed setting this all up once again, while flying trough Nullsec. Since we all know you enjoy to nerve people, like a lot of other idiot nerds playing this game, i presume you happy now.
Oh, i know it was non-intentional. But also deffo know you guys enjoyed it. |

Thank you for your patience.
May I humbly suggest that, in the future, you leave your users a chance to "Launch Anyway", instead of stating "Your Internet isn't working, go away" while the user is very explicitly aware that everything is fine with his connection?
Also, webservers might just be set up to handle forum and web traffic, and not the peak rate of connections from hundreds of thousands of launchers restarting after update, compounded by angry restarts. Just an idea. Could occur to anyone. |

I thought I'd try to start EFT to play with some fittings, and it showed a server error of course.
However, I clicked on the little "see details" magnifying glass, and this is what I got:
"General Error: Scotty the docking manager heard you were talking **** about him behind his back and refuses to service your request."
At least I know why I can not connect now, unlike all you guys.

Thank you very much CCP. I couldn't figure out how to fix the launcher or my repair tool once it messed up so now i have to reinstall everything from scratch. I just love doing this. It only takes me about 3-4 hours to reinstall and then i still have to setup overviews and other crap.
Why can't u make something that works right the first time out of the box?
Really looking forward to Odyseey. Yep Just loving it . |

Unable to open https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3
Was able to open the accompanying txt file.
Repair.exe didn't seem to have any effect.
Tried restarting the client several times from the different executables around, all that happened was that I downloaded and installed the patch half a dozen times.
In the end I downloaded the file from Chribba and soon after that I was able to run C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe |

how to by pass errors: create shortcut from repair.exe |||
right click on the shortcut and open properties |||
add this to your launch file/directory to the end of repair.exe |||
(1 empty space) --safemode || it will look like this directory/repair.exe --safemode ||
launch the shortcut, after repair go to eve/bin dir and launch exefile.exe

1) If the new launcher doesn't work for you try the following (as others have stated before me):
..... a) Default location: "C:\Program Files (x86)\EVE Online\bin\ExeFile.exe"
..... b) %Your_Eve_Folder%"\EVE Online\bin\ExeFile.exe"
2) If the game doesn't run due to an "Incompatible (Protocol)", then try running:
..... a) ...\EVE Online\repaire.exe
..... b) Restart the game.
3) If you end up with a "Exception" error window stating, "No connection could be made to the content server. Please make sure your Internet connection is up and restart the Launcher.":
..... a) ...\EVE Online\bin\ExeFile.exe"
If you still cannot get into the game, then you are at the end of my "fix it" experience. Good luck. Be nice. The Devs are trying to make things better for both us-¦ and CCP.

Hi
Here it wasn't a problem with the client / launcher or some thing else, it was the used Shortcut on the desktop / startmenu.
The "old" Shortcut shows to "...\CCP\EVE\eve.exe". This shortcut get the offline-error.
Replace it to
"..\CCP\EVE\launcher\launcher.exe" /forcelauncher
and it works (here).
For Multi-Client change it for each Shortcut you used for each Client
"...\CCP\EVE 1\launcher\launcher.exe" /forcelauncher
"...\CCP\EVE 2\launcher\launcher.exe" /forcelauncher
etc.
This solve here the Offline-Modus-Problem. All Settings for each account and client still here and work.
The Option "/forcelauncher" isn't nessesary, but i'll leave it cause it works so.

But it just gives the option to launch EVE though anyway. To be honest I preferred the old launcher because rather than being able to launch 2 clients at once and THEN log in, you have to "switch character" and then launch it, which is rather annoying. I'm having the same problem, same error message. Can connect to both links, the second one takes ages tho... I suspect the launcher tries calling this file but times out. Same basic prob for me, I can log into that link but play is greyed out and It doesn't seem to be doing anything.

So far none of the fixes have worked. Launching directly from Exefile.exe starts the client, but gets stuck in an infinite update loop. Even though that patched installed just fine, it keeps repeating it, so I can't log in.
Also, I don't appear to have a repair.exe.
Update: Chribba's update download worked, the game now breaks out of it's update-loop.
Haven't tested the launcher yet though. |

Doing that trapped me in endless update cycles. Running Repair.exe then Launching the game from :C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe has me with a working connection.
EDIT: 33k people logged in so it obviously works for quite a few other people as well.

I was going to ask if anyone was having problems with the new launcher...fifteen seconds later I realised it would be a waste of my typing and your viewing time. I'm considering singing a song at you instead by way of distraction from the general fury.
On the flipside this is an excellent tool for bringing the game more towards real life - now I have to develop my understanding of software operation in order to repair the game and launch. I expect this is exactly the sort of thing that would happen on a real spacecraft and will really sort out the wheat from the chaff. Those that have managed to log in should get an automatic skill of some related manner, perhaps Problem Management or Rig Workaround.

Nothing works, not as I understand it, or with the understanding I have of computers. Only option now is to reinstall the entire program again, this is the fourth time I have had to do it the past six months. I can not tell anyone of those who made this exelent game what to do, I love your work. The short hours I have had to use to reinstall do not diminish my joy of the game, thanks for your good work. And keep it up, this game have unlimited potential, there are noumerous things I would like to see in the game,but that will come later.

Ok, has anyone found a solution yet? I've been through this threadnought and didn't find a workable solution.
I've tried for the last hours:
Run Launcher -> Offline
Run ExeFile.exe -> incompatible
Run Repair.EXE as admin -> Launcher starts, offline
Change Build number in COMMON.INI, run repair.exe as Admin -> DLing some stuff times out
Grabbing Chribba's files atm.
Any other possible solutions?

how to bypass errors:
create shortcut from repair.exe |||
right click on the shortcut and open properties |||
add this to your launch file/directory to the end of repair.exe |||
(1 empty space) --safemode || it will look like this directory/repair.exe --safemode ||
launch the shortcut, after repair go to eve/bin dir and launch exefile.exe
this worked for me and 4 other guys from corp.
its been confirmed that this only works with original install dir.. (not copy&paste files) |

Well, sometimes deployments fail when you have to deploy something to such a variety of clients.
Update failed on my side, too, but that doesn't change my mood. What does is if an non-essential update breaks everything.
Being responsible for IT Projects myself, the first thing i ask when something breaks or creates trouble in any way is:
Do we really need this thing?
In case of the launcher i'd say no. It's not essential. So why is there? Because it could provide some nice features. So, the second question to ask is:
How would it look like if it would be absolutely perfect - or at least as perfect as we can imagine?
The login-process for players with only one account, playing on tq is almost the same - with or without launcher. An SSO-System doesn't really improve that. To really improve that process you should look at players who have different accounts and play on Sisi as well. Eve is very special. So should the launcher be.
The best launcher i could imagine would be one that lets you manage your accounts and perhaps even the sisi installation on your system. Provide a guest login that doesn't change personalized settings. Save credentials of my accounts, remember my personal way to launch the game (it's a launcher, isn't it?). Like a login-like-last-time-button that launches Account A on screen 0 and a second client with Account B on screen 1, so i don't have to do this manually. That would be an innovative improvement that really stands out.
And of course, the usual stuff it should do: To verify or update the installation or - in special occasions - repair it, while showing me interessting news of the universe.
Thats what i would expect from an innovative company thinking about their vision the create something really unique.
But what you did with the launcher is just as casual as it could be. My guess is nobody in the Engineering-department really wanted to develop that thing and somebody just wrote it to the todo list because "other mmos have it too, so it must be kinda cool" while the management got a boner hearing the word "landing page", because it means more space for advertising.
And thats really what it looks like.
Seriously, if thats your best, your best won't do.
And for that abomination my installation completly fscked up? Thats something that ruins my mood. |

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.

guys stop repairing or doing anything with your client.
it's a randomic serverside problem, CCP has to fix it.
prolly it's too much load to a new service tied with the launcher, wich in turn returns error 503 most of the times.
go to eve folder/bin/ and launche exefile.exe till this thing gets solved (on your own risk).
oh, CCP wish u goodspeed in fixing this, but.. **** happens, ya know!
oh.. if exefile is not running fine, chribba knows:

PLEASE NOT VIOLENCE OUR BOATS
I believe the problem is with the content server.
When you run the launcher, it attempts to grab content... since the content server is currently having it's problems (extremely slow load for some, no load for most). Several different errors are being reported, like "Offline Mode", "My Launcher Just Took a Crapper!", and so on and so forth.
The easiest way to work around this issue for now is to skip the launcher and run "ExeFile.exe" which is found in:
Program Files/EVE/bin/
-or-
Program Files (x86)/EVE/bin/
-or-
**YourSpecificFolder**/EVE/bin/
It's likely when you run this file, you will get to your login screen, but still unable to login because your EVE Client hasn't properly updated since the patch.
To resolve this, navigate directly to your "repair.exe" file and run it. The repair file can be found in your Program Files/EVE/ directory. The repair tool should detect that your version of EVE is out of date and then update. Once updated, you'll still need to bypass the EVE Launcher because the content server is the core problem, and run the ExeFile.exe from the /EVE/bin/ directory. |

Ok, the old launcher refused to work, so I updated it manually.
Then I got and tried this:

Didn't help, since it led to this:

If the launcher doesn't automatically update as expected you can download the new EVE Launcher manually here: http://cdn1.eveonline.com/EveOnlineLauncher/release/EVEOnlineLauncher_2_1_539169.exeThe main change is a new and improved landing page and a new login mechanism which will allow you to log into EVE Online using our SSO (single sign on) service. WeGÇÖve also included a new self-update mechanism in the EVE Launcher, which will make the update process for the EVE Launcher itself more reliable and allow us to deploy more updates as we work on improving the flow into the game. In addition to these features, weGÇÖve worked on a new version for the Mac which should also be deployed soon, which brings much closer parity between the Windows and Mac EVE Launchers, with a new embedded browser and low level tweaks to the EVE Launcher. A devblog about the EVE Launcher upgrade can be found here, further information about SSO is available here. We welcome all constructive feedback and comments and our developers will monitor the comments closely.

A new launcher was just hinted at at fanfest as 'something CCP would like to do'.
You don't announce a major new feature like this on the same day you're going to launch it. Something tells me someone was pushing for this so hard that he probably thought he was pushing out a turd on the toilet. Come on people, this is a mistake CCP may have made 9 years ago, but today?
1) Announce this stuff at least 2 weeks in advance.
2) Test it before deploying it and don't shove possible bugs in a "cant or wont" fix pile.
This is a critical feature people need to log into the game and it seems like it's been handled very, very poorly. Shame on you, CCP.

I had same problem with luncher (error window and no patch download).
I try many options(clear cashe, repair). but what is work:
i off my firewall
and conect my phone with shared network connection in it
i shutdown my local network connection and start update luncher (look first page).
then it start to check my eve files version and starting update
on 2\4 stage - when it created patch on ~40% it stops and do it again
i try to wait (it sooo long) so i put online my local network connection
and it start update fast as usually
so it download and apply patch
then i just click start in luncher and it work!
so - if it not work - may be you can try use second connection (with shutdown you usually local network connection)  |

Hrm, same as people up to page 27 of this thread here (stopped skimming past that point) - "offline mode". Bypassing via the direct exefile.exe doesn't work due to "Incorrect Protocol". Repair tool? Nope, nopenopenope. ... Wait, after a long time of waiiiiiiiiiting, the repair tool does something, oh yay, it's "fixing" (patching the client, more like), and voila, bypass works. But, the repair tool also took it's time (and more than one attempt) to get it to work.

And you good sir, appear to misunderstand my words. :) I've got the game running now (thanks to Chribba).
However I literally do not have a repair.exe, as in, the file does not exist. It's not hidden (I checked), it's simply not there.
Which is a bit odd, I would assume it would be included in one of the patches (all things considered, this client has been through 3 years worth of client updates on this PC, it's never been uninstalled or reinstalled, so I would think it would have been patched in at some point). Maybe I need to download a fresh install for a change. |

The bug is a pain in the arse, but I could live with t if I knew what I had to deal with.
The problem is that there is no information from CCP about what we should do, what they are doing or how long it is estimated to take to fix. I literally have no information from CCP about what I should be doing. All I have is this link "Restart Launcher". Which doesn't do anything except restart the launcher and present me with the same useless "Offline Mode".
There are lots of wanna be CCP people trying to find a work around. There are even wanna be commnications people (like you) trying to calm the masses. Where the hell is CCP? It's after hours in Iceland, for all we know they gone home!

Now when client finally opens it says, I can't login, and that the server status is "unknown". Tried repairing the file, then reloading, same problem.
I also concur that this should have been tested better before launching, and hope that CCP teams are making this a top priority. |

CCP still has not learned to communicate. Assign a single person to sit in this thread and respond to every single user who posts - you could call him 'CCP Punchingbag'. They don't really need to say much of any use other than "yes, we hear you and we are sorry." They could make some self deprecating jokes, maybe award people a new item 'launcher.exe' for lols, or run some in game item giveaways to pass the time. It doesn't get much functionally accomplished but the PR value would be a lot better than this experience has been. A situation like this with this user base requires constant communication.

Repair.exe allowed the launcher to finally work, but I question the value of this new one. The password field doesn't get focus after opening the launcher, and it takes longer for me to get into the game now than it did with the previous launcher.
I don't see any benefit in this new launcher.

I have just eaten a delicious biscuit whilst calculating how much everybody who is upset could expect to receive as a refund. Potentially 33 pence a day on the most cost-inefficient plan or the amount you could find down your sofa right now while waiting for the repaired goodness.
My refund can go towards buying something for someone or something who/that needs it.

Filing a bug-report will only fill your inbox with thoussands of the same issues. All these posts should be sufficient proof, that the problems arent local or isolated. The launcher dosent launch for many of us. So I guess the best solution would be for CCP to buckle up and reprogram or correct the issues.
The bugs seem to have a common connection issue, in different forms. Maybe its just a simple script-error or other mundane things?
I like Progress, but at times you need to have plan Bs in place for using the old system, untill the new stuff actually work.....

They already said it is a server error. If only people would bother to read the devposts before crying... But sadly many people just hop on the "It's the new launcher that's broken, bad QA, bad coding, bad CCP" train without having any clue :-(

Thank you for talking to your higher ups about investing a LITTLE more effort in minimal testing, and, possibly, rolling back to the state of art that actually worked very reliably before the Launcher was introduced. Even BITS beats this... this... trying to remain polite here... software. |

Get http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip, unzip in your eve folder, start bin/ExeFile.exe, be happy. Once the Server is fixed, you can use the launcher again.

I have tried the workarounds, such as a direct launch, and when I get to the login page, it simply states for online status "Incompatible (Protocol)". I feel like I am going back in time to when we used to see that whenever we would need to install a new patch back over 5 years ago. I installed the patch for the new launcher, and it is saying that I have no connection to the server. The links you told me to go to timed out. |

Regardless of how much prompting THEY never seem to listen to the user base phucking pratts.

You have made us all very aware that this game has been going 10 years, but you still seem unable to deploy an update or patch without mistakes/delays or other mistakes occurring. Why do you not thoroughly test these prior to release? Why 10 years later are we still seeing the same issues? And of course why is it that we, the paying customer (as so many others have pointed out), do we not get any compensation (i.e. game time), for lost hours caused by unscheduled mistakes by YOUR team.
Its ok, I wont expect a reply.

Dear CCP,
Thanks for borking my game again. I have tried the proposed solutions listed but still no joy. I am not as tech savvy as some on here so i dont want to risk wrecking my entire install.
I do have a question for CCP, why arent you on here posting solutions to the problem you created instead of relying on your player base to sort out your mess again. I havent even seen a post from CCP saying sorry we got it wrong, or what CCP is doing to fix it, or any idea of timescale for a solution.
CCP your customer service sucks

Anyway, my wife wants to extend her thanks to CCP for rolling out a launcher that is successfully preventing me from playing EVE. It would be great if you could supply us with your logs, or file a bug report with them.
It would be better if CCP listened to their customers while they are giving constructive feedback from use of 'new shiney' things on SiSi... (or actually tested things themselves before pushing to TQ)
I don't remember anyone in the launcher feedback thread absolutely glowing with praise and urging you to rush this to TQ...

We pay for the game and it should work or give us all our invested efforts and money back. I think it is conflict of interest that CCP workers are allowed to play the game. It would explain why they got rid of teck two bpo lottery but did not remove the teck 2 BPOs which were given away to friends of ccp. To make certain alliance stronger. Come on now ccp we are paying for the game that I snot working can we have our money back from your pay checks. |

Omg, you did it again. In 5 min a whole cluster f*ck. Only CCP devs are able to do this. Where is the quality control? Didn't you learn anything from the failures of the past years? Why this now again? What is SSO good for if i have 2 clients running at same time? A race condition then who gets the login? To me it looks like this is the best tested piece of code I saw in the last 6 months:
- launcher can't keep user names
- can't just log off to change to alt on same account (with 2 clients open), only quit and logoff safely.
- first launch just ignores previous settings
- SSO completely useless
- fancy launcher design is camouflaging programming incompetence
Don't tell me you didn't see this on your machines before rolling this piece of junk out.
PS: Reminds me of your bug reporting page where you couldn't login if your account password had special chars in it because the web server config didn't support it, lmao. |

The new launcher seems to be working fine, or as intended.
The only thing I'd like to see is a return of the log in screen, like the old launcher where you can turn it off unless there is an update. I'm constantly switching accounts and this makes it soooo slow to move from one account to the other. |

I'm sure CCP download now Chribba's file and they say something like this:
Dev1: - How the f**k he did it?!
Dev2: - In next patch we need to nerf Chribba...
Dev1: - if you not nerf Chribba in next patch, he will ruin our plans again and we cannot "work hard" on problems created by us, just to solve the problems and show how hard we work
I vote Chribba to be new CCP director.
And if we all give our money which we pay to CCP every month - to Chribba, I'm sure he can have good starting capital to create better new EVE game for us and he will find investors to create new game, and we will play on his server and not CCP server.

I don't know about the rest of the Eve community, other than the mass of posters on this thread, but I cannot connect. I give it another six hours. Nothing. I try the clickable download here in this thread for manually downloading the patch. Still unable to connect. Please, if there are other steps to complete the login process that I'm unaware of, myself and I'm sure others would be appreciative to find out what they are.

What fixed my issue was:
1. Ran the patch:
http://cdn1.eveonline.com/EveOnlineLauncher/release/EVEOnlineLauncher_2_1_539169.exe
2. Then I got stuck with the incompatible (protocol)
3. Downloaded chribba's zip file:
http://eve-files.com/temp/eve-update-20130521.zip
4. Noticed that the common.ini (under /EVE folder) was incorrect compared with Chribba's:
Correct one should be
[main]
version=8.22
build=538542
codename=EVE-EVE-TRANQUILITY
region=ccp
cryptoPack=CryptoAPI
sync=538542
branch=//depot/games/branches/release/EVE-TRANQUILITY/eve
appname=EVE
useScriptIndexFiles=1
socketIO=iocp
5. Copied the all extracted files (including common.ini) to my /EVE directory - overwriting any files.
Not sure if necessary if step 1 is done, but after that it worked.
Launcer is still "buggy" since it's having issue connecting, so either click "launch eve" from the error window, or go into /EVE/Bin folder and start the ExeFile.exe |

Dear CPP
1) Your game launcher is not launching
2) Your web servers are not responding
3) Your communication is poor
4) Your customers are unhappy
5) You don't have prepared revert
6) Your new launcher is ugly and hard to use
7) Launching multibox is pain
What are you going to do with this situation?
Ps: How about DDOS protection? |

If they wanted a working product...well they had one before this morning. Also, there was ALOT of negative feedback on this launcher in the SiSi threads. Yet they felt they should push this out sooner rather than later...without addressing many of the issues raised.
But seriously, 50 pages in less than 2 hours! Way to go CCP, you really piled all of your 'win' into this thing!

Then say a fix is on the way or something to assure players that the issue will be resolved. Just my advice |

If you have problems with the new login patch here's the solution:
a) start exefile.exe from the ccp/bin/ folder ... let the update install fully.
b) run repair.exe from the ccp folder .. and let it repair completly.
c) start EVE directly from the exefile.exe in ccp/bin and not the launcher or the eve.exe in ccp
note: ccp/bin/exefile.exe is *not* ccp/evelauncher.exe or ccp/eve.exe , those start the launcher and that is *BROKEN* from the new update.

On May 21, 2013, our web servers came under unusually heavy load which resulted in connection issues for all associated services that rely on the web servers, such as the EVE Launcher and the client repair tool. Our engineers have been investigating the issue with top priority and when this was written the investigation remains underway and will continue until the problem has been identified and services have been fully restored.
On May 21 we also deployed EVE Online: Retribution 1.2.4 and the new EVE Launcher. These deployments are not believed to have caused the underlying problem but are believed to have affected its manifestation. Updating the Launcher or the client requires connecting to our currently overloaded web servers and as a result, EVE Online players may not be able to either properly update your EVE Online client, the EVE Launcher, or connect properly to the Tranquility server to play EVE Online.
For anyone experiencing any of the above issues we would like to point out to this thread for further explanations and potential workarounds.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused by these unexpected server issues.

The launcher is fine, their webserver is not. I outlined an alternate way to get the patch contents and get in the game. Car analogies are almost always bad, like in this case.

how to bypass errors:
create shortcut from repair.exe |||
right click on the shortcut and open properties |||
add this to your launch file/directory to the end of repair.exe |||
(1 empty space) --safemode || it will look like this directory/repair.exe --safemode ||
launch the shortcut, after repair go to eve/bin dir and launch exefile.exe
this worked for me and 4 other guys from corp.
its been confirmed that this only works with original install dir.. (not copy&paste files) |

Ok so patience is the name of this mini game, forget the launcher, bin files and all that crap, just keep trying on the repair tool, eventually it will start to "fix" the client . When complete launch the game and if the launcher does not load and you get the white box , press start eve and the protocol boss will be defeated.
Well it worked for me, good luck. |

Which would work well - if you actually had a heads up that the patch was coming.

In addition, I am having problems sending this ticket so it appears you have a ton of problems right now.
The new launcher allows me initial login, but when it wants verification of the account I want to login too, the play button (and all other links in launcher) are broken/non-functioning. |

What hax? The manual installation of a patch and launching the EVE executable directly? The automated process of patching and using the launcher are in no way necessary to play the game or patch it. They just automate things and make the process more convenient for the players and CCP. What people are doing is just giving ways to bypass the currently broken automation by doing things manually in an effort to gain access to the game and it works just fine. If you want to wait, feel free to do so. |

I got the offline issues as well, I downloaded the link in the first post and installed the new launcher which did launch however I got a huge long error message.
So I tried the the repair.exe and bin exefile solution suggested by a few other players and can get logged into the game now, for anyone trying this the repair tool does take some time to load then to do its thing but it seems to work eventually.
CCP: I appreciated that mistakes happen and things go wrong however, the lack of communication about this issue is not forgivable. It should not be down the the players to come up with a workable fix/workaround to get the game working, I have spent so long tonight looking at this thread and trying the things suggested that by the time I have finally got logged in I'm in no mood to play Eve anymore.

I solved my "Incompatible protocol" issue by following this:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238161
At first my repair tool did absolutely nothing - My pc just loaded for a while and then nothing happened.
I then tried to access the links mentioned in this post:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3061535#post3061535
First file loaded instantly, second file didn't seem to load at all. I left a tab open for each file and after 10 minutes or so the last file loaded aswell.
From this i concluded that perhaps the repair tool was suffering under the same issues.
I therefore tried to start the repairtool yet again, and then just let it stay open (in my earlier tries I had force closed it through the task manager) - And hurray, my patience payed off. The repair tool started and after yet another several minutes of waiting it started fixing eve.
I can now use the exefile to start the game and log in - No more "Incompatible protocol"!
So in conclusion: Have patience.. Lot's of patience :) |

I don't really think the problem is directly caused by the launcher. When I try to log in, I get a exception like this:
Unable to download remote build number
Traceback (most recent call last):
[...]
Frame GetRemoteBuildNumber in lib\info.pyo at line 182:
folder = u'C:\\Program Files (x86)\\CCP\\EVE'
url = 'http://client.eveonline.com/patches/premium_patchinfoTQ_inc.txt'
When I try to get this file (http://client.eveonline.com/patches/premium_patchinfoTQ_inc.txt) directly with firefox, it takes a long time to connect and download. I suppose the problem comes from the CCP webserver where the necessary files for the launcher are hosted. The launcher should have a longer time-out delay until it generates the exception...
Any news @CCP?? |

I'm sure CCP would love to roll back their webservers to a working state. Rolling back the launcher change (what you probably wanted to suggest) wouldn't change a damn thing.

Hi,
Launcher wont start, gives the no internet bla bla, people have linked a hundred times in this thread, getting the game up and running, status tranq - incompatible ( protocol ).
Where is my game?
Almost 3 years, You dudes up in the cold north usually don't do this EAstyle.
And no, I'm not trying anything, I'm not going to move my **** to high memory because of the 640K limit, I'm not rewriting my .bat anything, this is 2013, not 1996, I pay - You fix.
Have a nice evening, Ill check again in an hour, I'm sure you have fixed it by then. |

CCP Phantom, why you cant just share direct link for "Retribution 1.2.4 (version number 538542)" patch? You can upload it on any server in the internet and it can save your server from repair.exe DDOS. |

The manual installation of a patch and launching the EVE executable directly? The automated process of patching and using the launcher are in no way necessary to play the game or patch it. They just automate things and make the process more convenient for the players and CCP. What people are doing is just giving ways to bypass the currently broken automation by doing things manually in an effort to gain access to the game and it works just fine. If you want to wait, feel free to do so.
Chribba's files.
As i understand they are an attempt to circumvent normal ini files and other game content that should only be modified by CCP processes. It invalidates your ToS by taking an update from players to modify gaming files.
Otherwise why are CCP saying that you cannot do anything but wait if you havent downloaded up to date game patch content until they have a fix for it? |

I manage to get in.
1) Locate the folder where you installed EVE. If you are not sure where that folder is, see http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_default_directories
2) From the EVE installation folder, open the folder called GÇ£binGÇ¥ and there you will find the ExeFile.exe
3) Run this ExeFile.exe to start the EVE Online client |

Been bypassing the launcher ever since there was a launcher. It adds no functionality while taking longer to login and apparently has the potential to break your EVE install. Hopefully CCP never removes our ability to bypass the launcher, for reasons like this thread if nothing else.
One thing that would ACTUALLY be useful is the ability to add /username and /password arguments to exefile.exe shortcuts in order to login multiple accounts simply by clicking corresponding icons. |

Frankly if player feedback was important you would stop releasing blanket changes and patches and then being forced to listen to player feedback to fix the issues you cause. |

As the ISD are directing people from GD to this post, here's what I posted to GD!
So as everyone has been rather harsh with your efforts to make our gaming experience the best it can be, I'll leave some words of encouragement!
AWESOME ******* JOB CCP!!!!
So my state of the art is as follows.
The launcher gives me the following output.
Launcher wrote:OFFLINE MODE
You are seeing this because no connection could be made to the content server or something went wrong while loading the online content.
Restart Launcher
Tranquility server: Status unknown
Running the repair tool, it idles in the background for a couple of minutes and then pops a chubby that says:
Repair Tool wrote:Errors occurred
See the logfile 'c:\Users\Username\AppData\Local\Temp\tmpdir\repair.exe.log' for details
But for whatever ******* reason, your programmer deemed it wise to delete the ******* temp files as soon as you click the OK button, basically, making you run the ******* thing again! Awesome work again!
After running it again and accessing the log file, it has the following.
Repair Tool Error Log wrote:Traceback (most recent call last):
File "repair.py", line 303, in module
File "updateSelf.pyc", line 85, in UpdateSelf_nt
File "updateSelf.pyc", line 15, in ReadUpdateInfo
File "repairTool\repairTools.pyc", line 231, in GetRepairInfo
File "repairTool\repairTools.pyc", line 143, in SafeUrlOpen
urllib2.URLError: urlopen error timed out: 'http://client.eveonline.com/patches/repair_info.txt'
It must be a ******* odyssey to actually test **** before doing a release!
AWESOME ******* JOB!
Also, while talking about AWESOME ******* JOBS, when you hit the PREVIEW button on the forums, because I copied the logs, and those include the "larger/smaller" signs, it basically pops another chubby, telling me the post may contain HTML and proceeds to tell me to **** off by erasing all I had written! Again, ******* precious!
If I ever did such a **** tard release at my job, I'd be fired on the spot ... and it would only affect about 4000 people that are using the app.... you just took a giant crap on 100k+ clients and .... AWESOME ******* JOB! |

Good news, looking forward to the solution.
CCP Phantom, would it be an idea to release the latest Eve Online game-patch as a downloadable file to import it directly into the launcher using the settings dialog? This could solve the problem of many of us, including me. |

how to bypass errors:
create shortcut from repair.exe |||
right click on the shortcut and open properties |||
add this to your launch file/directory to the end of repair.exe |||
(1 empty space) --safemode || it will look like this directory/repair.exe --safemode ||
launch the shortcut, after repair go to eve/bin dir and launch exefile.exe
this worked for me and 4 other guys from corp.
its been confirmed that this only works with original install dir.. (not copy&paste files) |

You have to run the repair tool then to update the exefile.exe
DO NOT run the launcher it is dog sh it. and will rebreak the exefile.exe
Once you have run the repair tool successfully (heh) then go to your bin folder and run exefile.exe again.
if that does not work

Okay, this worked for me and hopefully for others as well.
Run the repair tool until it works. It failed for me 4 times but the 5th time it worked.
Then launch the game with ExeFile located in the bin directory.
The key seems to be being patient with the repair tool. |

I have an easy fix. A plex should be 360 hours of game play plus 30 days of skill training. if a person does not play 12 hours a day every day he or she may rollover their hours to next Month. Have a limit on this so it wont be 24/7 botters or afk campers. This will make the game better. People may log out then just going afk running up their electric bill and the internet traffic.
When CCP messes up... the payment is not effected. Because hours of play will go on skilling will go on as used. Now botters would just think they can get an extra plex to add more hours per month. Don't allow that. It cant be right for any one to play eve 12 hours days every day. That is a job or account sharing and imagine accounts that get used for twice as much every day. 360 hours are alot to play with. |

For those reporting connection errors, are you able to connect to https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3 and http://client.eveonline.com/patches/win_launcherinfoTQ_inc.txt
For me the 2nd link finally worked after about 15 mins or so once it loads up the text file you have to go into your eve folder and start the repair.exe tool. It will begin to download all the fixes and should get you back up and running. My advice is to open both links in two separate tabs grab some coffee or food and come back when your done and hope to find one of the links has loaded the file and then you just start repair.exe and go watch Chariots of the Gods or something.
Thank you CCP Atropos I know people are taking it out on you but your doing great. |

TRY THIS !!
1. Go to C: , go to Program files(x86), go to CCP, go to EVE
2. Click on repair icon , UPDATE/repair WILL START
3. While waiting for update, go to bin, click on ExeFile and make a short cut to you're desktop
4. When update is finished, then just clik on you're new shortcut
5. Good Luck, worked for me and I hope it will 4u2, so you can log in and hug those bellowed corpses

I started repair.exe once and it patched my EVE to the newest Retribution version without much problems, I waited like 10 minutes. After that I started ExeFile.exe in /bin and got up and running.
Would be great if the new launcher would be working soon though!

OK.
I'm in.
Here's my issue, maybe somebody is just as stupid as I am.
Since the patch wouldn't initiate and launching eve cold with the .exe file was the initial suggestion, I had been launching the PATCH file from the directory where the launcher is found....
After quite a few attempts with no results (the patch window never came up)
I ran the patch service from the EVE folder in Start menu.... start/eve/repair and VOILA.... the patcher came up and patched....
THEN I was able to run an updated eve client from the EXE file in /bin folder.
Hope that helps somebody else who may have been launching the patcher from the wrong location....

This seemed to work for me.
C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe
I first tried restarting launcher. Didnt work.
Next I killed the application and reopened. Didnt work
I opened up every eve.exe related file in the main eve folder. Didnt work
Repaired. Didnt work
Went to C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin and opened the ExeFile there. Worked
My problem was the offline mode on the launcher. This seemed to bypass the launcher and went straight to the sign in screen. Not sure if the last step worked or a combo of the previous. Just decided to list my steps to see if they helped. |

With the server currently being unable to log anyone in *except those who individually go and work on it, what can we expect to happen? I am not working on it though I could using some of the things people have stated previously, but I won't because that's not why I play Eve. I do not play it to work on my computer because of some files they messed up.
Yes, I understand s*** happens sometimes, so I am not really all that upset. However, being we pay to play Eve *except those who use in-game cash to play* is it fair to say we can expect something from this ? Perhaps a 24 hour rollback *on game time not skills* as this was not a player mistake and it effects everyone ?
I have no problem continuing to pay for this game as I still enjoy it. I am not asking for a huge apology and a new month or anything of that sort, just some sort of compensation for the time. I do not mean to make myself look like an @$$ when I say this and I might, but even an in-game mail to the players would be nice. I mean after all, they are paying you CCP to be here and continue to play.
What can we expect? |

Well I just grabbed the download from the link provided earlier of the updated files put together by Chribba, I backed up all the affected files first, swapped in the new ones, didn't bother repairing or anything, just launched exefile.exe from the /bin folder (by the way this file is not updated) and voila, I'm in!
I can understand how some people who aren't so computer savvy may have some issues with doing this kind of stuff, my recommendation is to wait for CCP to fix their server issues affecting the launcher and updates. |

YAY way to go CCP!
Yet again you prove your inability to take any sort of feedback and just push out garbage for which you are so well known. Wasn't it not so long ago you kept ignoring feedback and broke eve with updates that didn't work on sisi? A couple years prior to that, pushing a horribly broken new sov system.....which was proven on SISI as horribly broken (not only was in involved in the 3 week fight of TCU's dropping offline every hour on there own, but I was one of the people on SISI proving it was broken to begin with). Before that, any major CCP patch was known as "Patch day - start your 30 day skill queue cause you won't be online in at least 7 days!"
I have an idea CCP. Seeing as no one there is capable of listening to beta test reports and feedback, how about you all climb up on your soapboxes, commit seppuku for your repeated inability to function when it comes to NOT releasing horribly broken things and figuring "eh we'll push it anyway and fix it later", then bring in actual PROFESSIONALS for development managers!
Then I bet you things may actually work MARGINALLY as intended at launch and not break EVERYTHING.
PS Hotfixes are okay for small bugs, but you NEVER release something with game breaking bugs, especially when you KNOW ABOUT THEM from beta testing. |

First link - no.
Second link - yes, fast.
Had the same problem with offline mode. Tried launching with "C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe", got the "incompatible protocol" message. EVE client offered me to update, this resulted in no changes, same "offline mode" and "incompatible protocol" messages.
After launching "C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\Repair.exe" for two times, I could start EVE with "..\ExeFile.exe", but launcher is still dead.
I'm kinda dissapointed and upset with this update. |

I notice with the new launcher that if you type in a new account name (that is, one not already on its drop-down list), the only way to get the launcher to "remember" it (so the drop down works in the future) is to click on the password field.
In other words, after typing the username, do NOT hit tab or return to get to the password field -- instead, mouse-click it. That probably should be fixed -- tab and return should work. |

hmmmm i see i am not alone here in la la land waiting for a fix it seems ccp will not agree they need to make. this down time is a small inconvenience, as i can go wash the bike, ride a tank or two, drink a few brews and it seems this will not yet be fixed. Well, as i see this, maybe they can move our close date to accommodate this small mess. (agree not likely)

launch the shortcut, after repair go to eve/bin dir and launch exefile.exe
this worked for me and 4 other guys from corp.
its been confirmed that this only works with original install dir.. (not copy&paste files)
This works perfectly.

1. Open the Terminal Application or use Finder to work your way to this path:
EVE Online.app/Contents/Resources/EVE Online.app/Contents/Resources/transgaming/c_drive/Program Files/CCP/EVE
In there delete the "common.ini" file and start the client again. It will start the launcher and repair the client for you automatically.
Doesn't work for Mac, and returns this error:
Verification Failure
Your EVE client installation may have modified, damaged or corrupt files. Please run repair.exe located in the EVE game directory or re-install the game client.
File not found: C:\Program Files\CCP\Eve\common.ini
So I'd recommend moving as opposed to deleting it.
So how can Mac users run the repair.exe file? |

What I did that worked:
1) found a link to download an old version of the repair tool
2) ran it, when prompted to get the newest version accepted
3) ran repair tool 3x (until successful)
4) launched EVE from the bin folder.
Getting the old version of the repair tool, then force updating to the latest version seem to turn the corner for me. Originally my repair tool wouldn't run at all.
Cheers. |

I am not working on it though I could using some of the things people have stated previously, but I won't because that's not why I play Eve. I do not play it to work on my computer because of some files they messed up.
Yes, I understand s*** happens sometimes, so I am not really all that upset. However, being we pay to play Eve *except those who use in-game cash to play* is it fair to say we can expect something from this ? Perhaps a 24 hour rollback *on game time not skills* as this was not a player mistake and it effects everyone ?
I have no problem continuing to pay for this game as I still enjoy it. I am not asking for a huge apology and a new month or anything of that sort, just some sort of compensation for the time. I do not mean to make myself look like an @$$ when I say this and I might, but even an in-game mail to the players would be nice. I mean after all, they are paying you CCP to be here and continue to play.
What can we expect?
To top this, people are still going on about it in forums an I have read from page one to here....I really do not want to go through each and every individual one looking for something that one of the DEVS or CSM or anyone posted that might have been related to this post that I posted. I feel no need to continue reading as they are all the same. Rants on how they are upset or my launcher isn't working, really by now I think they would figure out that it's that way for everyone and until you guys fix it, unless they do it manually it will not work.
That said, I would like to see a response to this or a response thread when you guys finish. Thanks |

3: Repair tool consistently reports "errors occurred".
4: Downloaded Chribba patch. Replaced the files in my appropriate folder - Launched from BIN/exefile.exe (avoided launcher)

At this point, I am considering deleting and redownloading the entire game file... it might be easier for me. I am more mechanically then technologically inclined.
If I could use duct tape, bailing wire, and a BFH to fix it, I'd be playing already.
Also... would a bonus remap be out of the question for the inconvenience of not getting to shoot rocks? |

I had the same problem here, sifted through the details and chatter, and found something that worked for me.
I ran the launcher, it updated and then i received the "no internet connection"
Went into the games/eve/bin and ran the exe.file first, and performed the update.
Then I ran the repair tool. let it finish.
Then ran that .exe file again and was able to log in.
Seems like its just the new launcher. Like others, i was upset i had to do a workaround, but this was the easiest without a lot of other external downloads. Nothing against third party fixes though

I can launch the client from CCP/EVE/bin/exefile.exe, however it says "incompatible protocol". Any workarounds here? |

Unbelievable!
1. First, new launcher failed to even launch. Couldn't read anything about it-didn't know why it failed.
2. Launched again after restart of computer. Noticed new info about new launcher.
3. Downloaded new launcher--FAIL.
4. Ran REPAIR tool---FAIL
5. Restarted computer and downloaded new version of REPAIR tool.
6. This time REPAIR tool worked, but ended up failing.
7. Thought "Thank goodness it left me an error log, that will help CCP."--FAIL no error log
STUCK and waiting. Will probably have to uninstall everything and try a re-install tomorrow, after CCP fixes things on their end.
CCP, I know you're all working on this. Perhaps it would be a good idea to set up some way to beta test things like this before rolling them out. Just a thought.... |

this just worked for me after trying all things
Im in, i used the ExeFile.exe under "C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin"
1) Locate the folder where you installed EVE. If you are not sure where that folder is, see http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_default_directories
2) From the EVE installation folder, open the folder called GÇ£binGÇ¥ and there you will find the ExeFile.exe
3) Run this ExeFile.exe to start the EVE Online client |

I tried the EXEfile.exe in the bin folder it started an update download which failed. I then ran the repair tool several times which also failed before completing, but after even the failed repair using the EXEfile.exe in the bin folder did work.
Also had to use task manager to stop 7 instances of launcher.exe and a couple other CCP processes. Restarted my PC and launcher still offline, but exefile.exe is working. |

If it were a launcher problem only, then the repair tool would work and we'd all be playing EVE right now.
It's obviously a deeper problem than that, since the repair tool doesn't work either.
Long story short, it seems this would have happened whether or not they released the new launcher, it just so happens that the update this happened on was also the update for the launcher.

Both after 10 minutes of loading (no time out yet weirdly), both links finally failed.
repair.exe reports failures each times it runs (and it's damn slow running, better to say crawling, in fact)
Start up from ExeFile.exe won't let me login due to "incompatible protocol"

***POSSIBLE FIX ***
I had same problem as most.
I came home, and launched EVE... error = Offline mode, restarted alot ;(
Then I startet reading forum for possible solution.
first DEV post, I DL'ed the manual "patch" and nothing happend.
Then someone said kill processes = same **** as initially ;(
Then I read go to eve/bin and run Exefile.exe
but now I got to launcher window with "incompatible version", but said I had to patch, so ran patch, but after it restarted to launcher, and same Offline mode stuff. then tried to run Exefile.exe again, with same result ;(
So now I read that I should run repair.... repair.exe had an update, which replace my repair.exe file with a repair.exe_e2_9tx
so I renamed it to repair.exe and ran the file, it did like 3 cycles, with hash checking and dowload updates, but eventually said finish.
Now I didn't dare to run launcher, so I went back to Eve/bin and ran Exefile.exe agian, and GAME LAUNCHED correctly.
Still haven't dared to run launcher, have to try when I go to bed.
hope this helps someone... cya online soon :) |

Dear CCP
Please stop adding things to the game without consulting use because you are incompetent mongoloid retards. A few things.
1 ) Your stupid launcher only cache's 7 accounts so if your someone like me with many more accounts than this you have to enter your acct name each time + passowrd.
2) Everytime you want to open another account you have to go through your idiotic launcher.
3) Now when you open a new client and it starts it minimizes all your other windows.
SOLUTION
GIVE US THE A OPT OP BUTTON FOR THIS PIECE OF **** LIKE YOUR ******* WALKING IN STATION PIECE OF **** FEATURE.

Just do the repairtool once and then use the exe-file again. My repair-tool failed when it got to the launcher but since it fixed eve first and the launcher after and the fact that I'll never use the launcher ever again anyway, it didn't matter that repairtool couldn't fix it.
Eve works fine for me now, when I start it using the exe-file alone.
I thank CCP for finally making it nescessary for me to learn how to dump the launcher all together and have a straight link to the exe-file in the shortcut instead. :)

Go into your Eve Online directory and run "repair.exe" If it doesn't load, you might wait a few minutes. If it DOES LOAD and burps out an error message, try again. Once it successfully runs and completes it's patching, exit out of the program. Apparently Mac users are out of luck.
Then go into your Eve Online directory again. Go to "Eve Online\Bin" folder. In the "bin" folder, locate "ExeFile". Launch that to get into game. DO NOT use a short cut to launch the game or you will get that stupid "offline" notification from the updated patcher program.
I hope the above helps. |

Man, people are dicks when their internet spaceships get interrupted for a couple of hours x_x Ignorant dicks too. Assuming the last post fell off the current page, a repost:
The new launcher was working fine in beta, is working fine now, and will continue to work fine in future.
The reason it can't talk to the server right now is because /the server is down/.
More beta-testing and more listening to feedback and more fixing of non-existent bugs in the launcher /will not stop the server from being down/. |

It's obviously a deeper problem than that, since the repair tool doesn't work either.
That is correct. Our web servers handling the client update process and version checking (used by the repair tool and the EVE Launcher) are malfunctioning to some degree resulting in long waiting times on requests and many timeouts. As end result the repair tool will often not properly update the client in a timely fashion and the EVE Launcher will show an offline status. According to my information the EVE Launcher itself is not "broken" but the services required by the EVE Launcher are.
Our developers are still working hard to fix this issue.

Here's the explanation:
Quote: On May 21, 2013, our web servers came under unusually heavy load which resulted in connection issues for all associated services that rely on the web servers, such as the EVE Launcher and the client repair tool. Our engineers have been investigating the issue with top priority and when this was written the investigation remains underway and will continue until the problem has been identified and services have been fully restored.
On May 21 we also deployed EVE Online: Retribution 1.2.4 and the new EVE Launcher. These deployments are not believed to have caused the underlying problem but are believed to have affected its manifestation. Updating the Launcher or the client requires connecting to our currently overloaded web servers and as a result, EVE Online players may not be able to either properly update your EVE Online client, the EVE Launcher, or connect properly to the Tranquility server to play EVE Online.
For anyone experiencing any of the above issues we would like to point out to this thread for further explanations and potential workarounds.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused by these unexpected server issues.
And honestly, I think you're all a bit over reacting. I also paid for a 3-Month Subscription but seriously guys...
Imagine you working on a problem while constantly shouted in your ear.
Fly safe,

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.

That will not help.
You need the patch files that were uploaded earlier, the only way to get those is via the (non-functional) launcher, repair tool or the files chribba has linked. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3062840#post3062840 |

I'm sure some compo is due maybe a titan will suffice :)
Have you tried closing the client and the launcher and then re-launching? It should restore your in-game settings.

Oh well mistakes happen.
CCP, next time if you are going to update the patcher program, please let us know ahead of time so we can be ready. I am glad I'm off today and could spend the time finding a work around. If I had to work... well, I would have missed out on skill training.
I hope you guys get a fix up soon.

Launcher was being what it is, and the repair tool was not working either. And just running ExeFile gave protocol error.
So, I decided to go trying to fix the repair.exe and got it to work at least on my systems. I needed to get some files from the client.eveonline.com with a system that did wait for long enough on timeouts, put those to a server that's not dead, and then pointed my Windows hosts to that server's IP address.
Files I needed, if you want to do it on your own and don't trust me, or my server gets crashed with huge load, these need to be put on some web server in /patches folder:
http://client.eveonline.com/patches/win_launcherinfoTQ_inc.txt
http://client.eveonline.com/patches/premium_patchinfoTQ_inc.txt
And then you need to make sure the web server thinks its client.eveonline.com and then get your computer to point to that system.
So, what I did, with IP address to my server that now thinks its client.eveonline.com:
1. Edit (as Administrator): %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Add line: 83.145.200.22 client.eveonline.com
2. Run Eve repair tool
3. Edit (as Administrator): %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts
Remove the line added in step 1
4. Run Eve\bin\ExeFile.exe
To edit that file as administrator on Win7, hit Windows start menu, type notepad %SystemRoot%\System32\drivers\etc\hosts in the "search box" and hit Ctrl+shift+Enter. If you've UAC on, it will ask for confirmation. |

Like everybody else I had problems.
My solution that worked for me.
Ran the game repair tool. was very slow in responding and appeared not to be working but it was and fixing the program it took two attempts.
Then I ran the client got the error message cannot connet to eve. *This was a smallish box and not the usual looking screen.
Had a choice of either closing or starting Eve . selected start eve. It bypassed the launcher altogether and gave me a logon screen .
Poceeded to logon. worked twice
I expect to get this post deleted or locked. So much for freedom of expression. |

Got it to work now also, I just needed to get that repair .exe running and then run ExeFile from the bin file.
I only got the repair tool running in the save mode, stick "-- safemode" to a shortcut, and run it as administrator, that tip worked for me. It may do the job anyway though aslong as you get it to run. |

Hi, I am having the same problems except when I navigate to this file there is no repair tool. Is this because I run the game through steam?
Also those two links mentioned earlier I cannot connect to either of them after like 10 minutes of trying.

CCP, I know you're all working on this. Perhaps it would be a good idea to set up some way to beta test things like this before rolling them out. Just a thought.... Run repair tool from command line with added switch: repair.exe --safemode Gave the safemode switch a go after literally no results from running the repair.exe file and received an "errors occured" dialog box pointing me to a log file. The contents of which read:

I find it incredible that I now need to go grab some assets from a non-compensated 3rd party developer in order to make your commercial service accessible because an unannounced patch (and / or related services) royally cocked things up.

The official CCP policy (as confirmed by petitions since 2005 or so) seems to be: We cannot reimburse any projected presumed gains.
This includes skill point loss.
Dunno whether that Reid guy changes anything: He seems to be behind a few of the community good-will activities lately. |

maybe someday CCP will quit breaking what's working, stop giving us connect the dots lines in space, and actually begin ADDING content to eve rather than nerfing/modifying things so that what we already have doesn't work. thanks CCP |

Worked for me. Hi, I am having the same problems except when I navigate to this file there is no repair tool. Is this because I run the game through steam? Also those two links mentioned earlier I cannot connect to either of them after like 10 minutes of trying. CCP please fix problem
Yes, Steam has put EVE in the Steam tree.

Too bad it doesn't work.....
Repair, open exefile directly, states incompatible protocol, forces a new download, which starts the launcher, which runs the update, which opens the launcher to tell me to play Eve offline.....
Now any time I open exefile directly, it says update has been downloaded, closes to patch, starts the launcher update, and back to square one.
Well played CCP, well played....

Here is what worked for me:
1. Manual update (link from 1st post);
2. Starting the game from exefile.exe (no joy);
3. Running repair.exe (2 times - 1st attempt returned error) (C:\program files\ccp\eve)
4. Starting the game again with exefile.exe: success :) (C:\program files\ccp\eve\bin)

I had the same problems as everyone else in this thread. Got in after an hour
- ran the launcher several times until it downloaded and installed the new (non-working) launcher
- went to evelopedia, searched for client repair tool, downloaded and copied it over repair.exe in the eve folder
- ran this repair.exe 3 - 4 times until it patched and finally completed without errors
- tried the launcher again, 10+ times, no good
- went to the bin folder and ran evefile.exe, got into the game

OK so before I knew what was actually going on, i filed a petition. This is the response from GM Stinger:
"Hello there,
This is a mass reply sent to all petitions concerning the EVE Online Launcher. An issue with the content web server has resulted in some problems which are made apparent by the launcher, while this issue is being investigated please be aware you can bypass the launcher by using the ExeFile.exe which can be found in the "bin" folder of the client directly.
Locate the folder where you installed EVE. If you are not sure where that folder is, see http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_default_directories
From the EVE installation folder, open the folder called GÇ£binGÇ¥ and there you will find the ExeFile.exe
More information can be found in the following forum post:
https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238130&find=unread
We apologize for the inconvenience this has caused you, should you continue to experience problems with the launcher, please update this petition and we will be happy to offer further assistance.
Best Regards,
CCP Customer Support | EVE Online | DUST 514 "
Everybody needs to chillax - there's nothing you can do about the launcher not getting a connection to the server - it's a server-side problem. They are working on it right now.
Follow his advice above, and you will get to the old login screen and be ship spinning in moments.
The ExeFile.exe file is in C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin usually.
Fly safe!

Well, this blows. I can't even update the launcher when I go to click on the old one. Running repair.exe also does nothing as well. Currently as this stands, I cannot even login to Eve, because if I start the client without using the launcher, I'm getting Incompatible (Protocol) on the login screen.

I'm sure some compo is due maybe a titan will suffice :) Have you tried closing the client and the launcher and then re-launching? It should restore your in-game settings.
Yes i have tried restarting the client , as far as restarting the launcher it never worked in the first place for me to restart it.
I'm currently using the work around method of using the EVE.EXE to launch the game, i have even tried copying and pasting my settings from my app dat folder to my new one and still nothing.
I have had a long day at work and realy can't be bothered trying to fix this this mess so I'm going to have to wait to the weekend b4 i will have time to get my quick bar back to where it was.

You know what would have been better than a new patcher? Making use of steam, instead of literally making me feel bad for having it in my steam list because it still says Inferno, of course when I installed it a few weeks ago it installed Eve Online: Incarna.
The fact that steam can act as a patcher, and the fact that the login screen was rather cool, focusing on using Steam as a patcher, or allow the login screen to patch would have been time spent right.
Fact is you don't really care for steam, you just have it because you wouldn't be considered "Above" it like the other guys.
Now I can't log in, and a fresh install from steam will still need to patch once I install it, using the old patcher. What is this decision and why did you go through with it when you KNEW there were issues with it. So now I have to wait for you to get off your arse and fix something. But guess what? I'm paying for a time based subscription, so every second I am unable to play, is money you have stolen from me. |

So the solution is to bypass the launchers until CCP fixes it? Can do.
Launched exefile. It did some updates and brought up a broken launcher again. No fix.
I have less than 24 hours training on one character, so I hope CCP figures this out soon. Or just let us manage the queue on the website already ...

Solved the problem here. Thanks Chribba!
CCP, it is one thing to roll out a bad launcher and web server troubles do happen in this business, but if a community member was able to come up with a solution, while your your response is this:
"If you have not updated your EVE Client to the latest version, there is unfortunately little we can recommend you to do except for waiting until our developers have fixed the situation."
Well, that is simply unacceptable. |

Also got the Incompatible Protocol after running Exefile.exe from EVE/BIN folder.
The below workaround worked for me (Had not installed 1.2.4 pror to the poo hitting the fan):
- DL Launer Update here https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238130
- Run it
- Run Repair exe (which will now prompt it needs to update insted of random errors), this migth take a while ... like AEONS
- Profit (as in login Possible)

The fact that steam can act as a patcher, and the fact that the login screen was rather cool, focusing on using Steam as a patcher, or allow the login screen to patch would have been time spent right.
Fact is you don't really care for steam, you just have it because you wouldn't be considered "Above" it like the other guys.
Now I can't log in, and a fresh install from steam will still need to patch once I install it, using the old patcher. What is this decision and why did you go through with it when you KNEW there were issues with it. So now I have to wait for you to get off your arse and fix something. But guess what? I'm paying for a time based subscription, so every second I am unable to play, is money you have stolen from me.
Not sure Steam could support multiboxing. Steam has become such a PIA intrusive ***** lately that I keep it turned off.

Because the new launcher relies on the content server to initiate the game.
Also the content server is working now and the launcher throws up an exception and is incapable of patching the exefile.exe |

2) Everytime you want to open another account you have to go through your idiotic launcher.

For what its worth I will also post here. On a Mac so most of the info posted doesn't apply. There is no repair tool, I opened the Eve Online application(show contents) in the applicaiton folder and there is no repair tool in there.
When I launch the game I am getting an error dialog that states "No connection could be made to the content server. Please make sure that your Internet connection is up and restart the Launcher." I have an option to click OK or Start EVE. When I click Start EVE I get to the login screen where the status shows "incomplatible (protocol)". After a few minutes I get a message saying that the launcher has been updated and click OK to restart. But nothing happens after I click OK, the game client quits and that is it.
I looked in ~/Library/Applicaiton support but I see no EVE files listed there.
Navigating to https://client.eveonline.com/launcherv3 , the website is slow to load and I was finally able to see the entire launcher after letting it sit for about 10 minutes.
Navigating to http://client.eveonline.com/patches/win_launcherinfoTQ_inc.txt, I see :

This is a mass reply sent to all petitions concerning the EVE Online Launcher. An issue with the content web server has resulted in some problems which are made apparent by the launcher, while this issue is being investigated please be aware you can bypass the launcher by using the ExeFile.exe which can be found in the "bin" folder of the client directly.
Locate the folder where you installed EVE. If you are not sure where that folder is, see http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_default_directories
From the EVE installation folder, open the folder called GÇ£binGÇ¥ and there you will find the ExeFile.exe

How many players complained about issues with the new launcher on SiSi, Almost nobody could get it to work right. You ignored player feed back and released it anyway. Now we have a huge mess.
CCP also seems to be ignoring most of the player concerns about the Odyssey Expansion. Will that too end up in a big mess?
Is not ignoring the community what got CCP into so much trouble with Incarna??
Well as they say history repeats itself, I just didn't expect it to happen so soon.
Fix it today, or revert to the old launcher until you can get it to actually work. Dam, I have not felt like this since Failcom drove me from AoC. It went free to play, and I still will not play it, as I lost all respect for its developers.

Indeed, did the same after reading a previous post talking about using the repair tool (that also advised to wait because it can be quite long to start).
Game used to display an "Unknown protocol" at login; the repair updated the files.
Works perfectly; now in game.

Fix for now:
a) Go to Task Manager and kill any EVE related files, first of all (or better yet, reset your system if you're not tech-savvy)
b) Go to your Eve Install Folder and open the "bin" folder.
c) Launch ExeFile.exe
Repeat step C for extra accounts you may need to log in.
If that doesn't work for you, I don't know what to say. |

Wait...multiboxing isn't a concern in Eve? The fact that almost everyone in Eve has an alt account sure fooled me. |

They probably need again 3000 canceled subscriptions to make things going right way nad listening to players. U have to weaken their "real" money income to get their attention back.

:( Start the game anyways and it will ask you if you want to download a new build. no i start the game and nothing happens, says incompatible protocol, but manually done the upgrade and im now getting the offline mode too lol Ok then the only other option I can suggest is to go into your closet and grab those ruby red slippers and click your heels three times. Let me know if that works for you. Tried the slippers and they didn't work (again!!). What else?

apparently CCP can't get it right either. It was so reliable back when I started. Now I get socket closed errors a few times every day. And now I can't get the launcher to work at all. Bad. Bad. Bad.
here's some more useful criticism:
It worked after a few tries on my computer that I don't have set up for mulitboxing.
On my main computer with three clients on it it won't work even after trying every fix suggested here. I've been fooling around with it for about an hour. Also, I think the new launcher is lame compared to the old one.... Like I even want to see all that crap. Here's a suggestion for a new launcher.... two boxes:
one for account name and one for your password.
Oh yeah, and perhaps it could work too.
As frustrated as I am I appreciate you guys working to get it fixed. Please hurry, I need Veldspar now!

Had a choice of either closing or starting Eve . selected start eve. It bypassed the launcher altogether and gave me a logon screen .
Poceeded to logon. worked twice worked here too !!! thx
THIS WORKS!!!!
there will be approx 10 minute download for the repair tool's files
then it will work, i'm not running it from the launcher, i'm running it from the c:/prigrams(x86/)ccp/eve/bin/exefile.exe |

If you keep getting the message "unable to connect to content server blah blah" OR your launcher claims your internet to be not working, here is the workaround. No idea if anyone else posted a fix but hey, thats alot of forum posts to shuffle through.
Updating your EVE client (if you have incompatible protocol)
1) Use the repair tool, it will be god awfully snail crawling slow to even pop up on the screen. Give it 10-15 minutes before opening up task manager and killing the process and trying to rerun it. Ideally it'll notice that the patch hasn't been installed and will download the files for you.
2) Open up EVE like your normally would, should show a dialog of downloading the new launcher
Launching the EVE client
1) Open up your program files and etc until you get to where your EVE folder is. Go into the bin and find your EVE exe file. Launch that for as many clients you desire. Feel free to make this the shortcut as god knows when CCP will address/fix the issue.
This is what I used using Windows 7 OS. Good luck and see you all on the other side
Note* Reinstalling the game in a new folder did nothing to solve the issue. |

UltraNoobian wrote:Dear CCP,
I believe your launcher is a decent piece of work, However it seems that you did not thoroughly look at user feedback or tested it before hand as there seems to be slow responses from the servers that the new Launcher depends on. The design may look good but it is not functional, Good looks are shallow if there isn't the heart to back it up.
Now this situation is reminiscent of the Captain's Quarters from the Incarna expansion where you passed on to us, the players, an update that did nothing to expand or help the player experience. This is not what we wanted, nor what we needed. It seems again, that there has been a mistake made and the price will the same as always.
I urge you now graciously to accept your mistake and offer up an apology.
Sincerely,
A Paying Customer.
As for anyone wanting to login without the launcher.
Navigate to your EVE install and go in to the '/bin' folder and run exeFile.exe to run the client directly.
EDIT: If you have an incompatiable protocol come up, use the repair.exe
finally after 4 hours and 52 minutes and after trying x times, a not working exefile.exe and run repair again with no result i got *repaired* message . The launcher isn't working though , but it seems i can log on now trough exefile.exe
But im working , so i can't afford to stay longer online then 4 hours or i get errors to stay awake during work ... from wich came the money to pay this ****... i really will remember this |

If CCP really cares about multiboxing players, you're seriously going to argue that steam users are supposed to get shafted because some idiot doesn't want to play with other people? Learn to be nice to the other players in this game, we all want to play, and I want support for the steam version of the game. Yet CCP has literally put no time or effort into putting the game into steam at all... I CAN ONLY DOWNLOAD INFERNO.
There's a problem when the version of the game from steam is still Inferno, it needs CCP to actually pay somebody to take care of it, or fire the idiot in charge of it. |

Well I will try to give you all a summary what I found out (reading and finding out by myself)
Without trying to blame somebody (its hard work as a game developer and sysadmin running these servers and as I know well, sometimes there are some things not working like they should in production environment)
So the facts:
1. The webservers have a problem, that's why the launcher isn't working as expected and can't patch the game.
2. If the client itself isn't the current needed version, it won't help if you try to start exefile.exe directly. You will get the "incompatible" error.
3. When you start exefile.exe from the /bin directory and see Version: 8.22.538542 in the upper left corner (or was it right...) there is a good chance that you can log in (Info was taken from this post https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=238230&find=unread and from my client)
4. If you have another version....bad luck, wait for the CCP work to finish....or try to patch manually with the patch mentioned by Chribba https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3062840#post3062840 (how to patch manually is also written there)
5. On my install the repair tool didn't work because it couldn't connect to webserver as well (see 1)
6. Reinstalling probably won't work, because the files that you download don't have the newest version and the launcher will try to patch (which won't work, see 1)
7. If you have the luck, that however everything is working fine, enjoy it!
For me the Chribba "way" worked fine. Before that I also restarted my computer.
Good luck and fly save! |

Yet CCP has literally put no time or effort into putting the game into steam at all... I CAN ONLY DOWNLOAD INFERNO. There's a problem when the version of the game from steam is still Inferno, it needs CCP to actually pay somebody to take care of it, or fire the idiot in charge of it.
Your argument against alts is that people should be social so that others will do stuff for them? I know plenty of very social people in game with 3+ accounts. It's just easier to have alts to do specific tasks instead of waiting on someone else to do them. It's a game of multiboxing, deal with it. |

Quickest way to start eve is to bypass the launcher.
Right click on the Icon your use to normal run eve and select open file location.
Then click on the bin folder.
and then run the file called ExeFile
And Eve will launch without the launcher. |

EVE players don't seem to be very used to these kinds of meltdowns
Fun fact: this kind of **** happens and has happened for every software company
I know we all like to appear all ~edgy~ and act like we hate CCP, but objectively looking they don't really **** things up as often as others.
That said, I kinda need mah fix :( but by the looks I'll wait until they've patched the patch.

You broke eve..
Good news: Boot.ini is unaffected so far
Bad news: Followed the instructions and downloaded as required launcher 'works' but I have 'protocol issue' at login and a horrible exception list pops up. Repair fails.
Bug details being sent.
So CCP .. what other company could get away with this kinda stuff.. ? Do you even check what you upload?
So this is iteration (TM)
[This just in]
...EVE support page is 'down for maintenance!'
...lol so should I just email all these exception and repair failure reports in to [email protected]? |

Maybe now would be a good time for everyone to delete the old Client Install and Install a New Client Installation.
Cleaning out the old Installation directory will remove any unwanted Wingy Bit files that more be corrupting the Client.
Installing a new client also helps keep hackers and other monkey people from accessing pathways that have long been established through your Firewall Protection System.
Just a suggestion.

Not sure why everyone hates the new Launcher I think it's brilliant. I'm very happy with be able to login from the launcher especially since I run multiple accounts and to be honest I think this launcher is much less resource intensive or at least it seems to be draggable and moves quite deftly.
Keep up the good work CCP don't let the Sticks in the Mud make you take 2 steps forward and one step backward. |

"On May 21, 2013, our web servers came under unusually heavy load which resulted in connection issues for all associated services that rely on the web servers, such as the EVE Launcher and the client repair tool. Our engineers have been investigating the issue with top priority and when this was written the investigation remains underway and will continue until the problem has been identified and services have been fully restored.
On May 21 we also deployed EVE Online: Retribution 1.2.4 and the new EVE Launcher. These deployments are not believed to have caused the underlying problem but are believed to have affected its manifestation. Updating the Launcher or the client requires connecting to our currently overloaded web servers and as a result, EVE Online players may not be able to either properly update your EVE Online client, the EVE Launcher, or connect properly to the Tranquility server to play EVE Online.
For anyone experiencing any of the above issues we would like to point out to this thread for further explanations and potential workarounds.
We sincerely apologize for any inconveniences caused by these unexpected server issues."

Every time I run the launcher, it opens, but in the window I just get a message from my ISP saying that it could not be found (like when you try to access a domain name that is down or non-existent). Tried running repair.exe, which did nothing except remove itself from my EVE folder. Gone. Tried to start the game via exefile in bin, which worked. Game tells me that the client is incompatible (protocol), but a window pops up telling my there is a new build available. Click ok. Client closes and updates are downloaded, applied etc.
Run launcher. Still get error message from ISP. Run game via exefile again. Game client still incompatible, window telling me to install new build is still there. Run updates again. Launcher still not working. Game still incompatible. None of the workarounds in this thread work.

One of the major reason why repair is failing is because your bloody launcher program gets stuck in memory and LOCKS it's lib support files.
Wtf are you were you guys thinking here? Launchers should be standalone programs that if they fail, should exit the PC memory space without any traces.
This has always been a problem since before and you're still pandering on unreliable technology.

Nah we're used to it we're just a little spergy and CCP are not very quick.
Reality is patches in EVE, something always breaks, that's why it's a rule to set a several day skill before every patch day - although I don't think anyone saw this launcher coming.
We've had boot.ini, we've had countless number of game breaking bugs introduced from untested - or tested but not acted up on patches. Stuff like invisible ships, client crash after x amount of gate jumps.
Then you have deadlines to fix them they say 18:00 you should bet on 22:00. |

They're claiming that the launcher update didn't cause this, but it seems like everyone who bypasses it using ExeFile can log in fine (which they say should be affected as well). I call shenanigans.
Also, to people likening this to boot.ini, is your OS still working? Yes? Then it isn't nearly as bad.

If CCP really cares about multiboxing players, you're seriously going to argue that steam users are supposed to get shafted because some idiot doesn't want to play with other people? Learn to be nice to the other players in this game, we all want to play, and I want support for the steam version of the game. Yet CCP has literally put no time or effort into putting the game into steam at all... I CAN ONLY DOWNLOAD INFERNO. There's a problem when the version of the game from steam is still Inferno, it needs CCP to actually pay somebody to take care of it, or fire the idiot in charge of it. This is to you and everyone else who is complaining. Stuff breaks and people work to fix it. If you can do a better job then why don't you go work for them or make your own game yeah? I cannot get into the game either but I am completely ok with it because I know the routine CCP goes through to maintain this game. Relax, go outside, go do something else instead of complaining about petty things.
Quickest way to start eve is to bypass the launcher.
Right click on the Icon your use to normal run eve and select open file location.
Then click on the bin folder.
and then run the file called ExeFile
And Eve will launch without the launcher. Big smile

On your own risk ofc but worked fine for me.
Else many suggested running repair.exe which seems to work in some cases.

hello, having issues trying to get into eve. i have read most of the comments so far and doing some of the stuff that people are trying. uninstaling the game, repairing the game even restarted my pc (as i thought it was to do with my pc). the start up client is saying unable to connect to the server. just would like to know if anyone has done anything different to get it to work and also a estimated time for this issue to be sorted |

I don't actually lose (ICMP) packets pinging client.eveonline.com, yet the TCP performance of the server is so low it triggers CCP client timeout...

If you leave the launcher open for 5-10 mins it appears to work, but then entering a username and password doesn't appear to do anything.
I'd love to see the UAT documentation that shows this terrible idea was tested, and who was responsible for claiming it worked. Except I won't ever see that because it probably never happened.

Considering that issues were raised with this on the test server, and apparently not addressed I'm writing this up as a failure in QA or adhering way to much to an deadline and releasing a broken feature hoping it'll work.
Or a monumental coincidence with some network failure that highlighted a major flaw in this login scheme.
It'll be worked out eventually, but you'd imagine CCP would be interested in reducing the amount of butthurt that incidents like these cause and actually test the living daylights out of things but I think someone over there gets his jollies in watching the forums flame
Anyways, the .exe route works for now.

I finally got in, 2.5 hours and dozens of attempts at running repair.exe later. I didn't even try the launcher after the repair completed, I just jumped straight to CCP\Eve\bin\Exefile.exe. Possibly, the number of people attempting to repair are overwhelming the download servers too, leading to the weird and wonderful repair.exe errors we're all seeing.
The repair tool took 3 mins to run when it finally got going, but I can confirm that it does fix the "incompatible protocol" message that your receive if you try to start the game from the Exefile.exe without repairing first.
I also noticed that the repair.exe tool does not die gracefully if it throws an error, so you need to kill any related executables before trying again.
So repair -> CCP\Eve\bin\Exefile.exe
The trick seems to be to completely ignore the launcher once your repair has worked.
As for CCP. Great game, good work for the most part, but breaking the launcher and thus denying access to a paid service (especially one where a single customer will pay you multiple times for multiple accounts) is not a great way of garnering customer support, nor is it a good way to lead up to a major expansion filled with contentious changes.
Now that I've wasted my night's game time trying to figure out how to bypass the launcher, I'll just top up my skill queue, change my shortcuts to point to the game executable and pretend it never happened. |

Attempted to run the Repair and I kept on getting a failed please check REPAIR.EXE.LOG
Ran the repair -safemode and same thing.
Launched my EVE client from the BIN folder, left it for a couple of minutes and just got a 6MB download while it was sitting on the "protocol" error.
It ran an executable called "evepremiumpatch538542.exe". I can verify that my game client now sais 8.22.534348 but still have the "Incompatible (Protocol)" error.
Going to leave it some more minutes to see if another patch is picked up |

If you use the patch, run a repair, then load the signing client through the error window you can still play the game.
Honestly i don't know why people are complaining so much when errors like this have barely happened over the last 10 years and you can still get into the game just fine if you give it a few minutes to repair and launch via the broken launch client. in-game there's a bit of lag when you click on things, but otherwise it's workable.
In the meantime I haven't lost any skillpoints so nobody else should have either. it's not that big of a deal to lose one day of playtime when you all know CCP never lets errors like this go like all the other game companies. These things happen, we're just lucky CCP keeps it rare.
I agree the steam client needs updating, that's a bit of an issue and hopefully they round it all out with the next update in June, but multiboxing isn't the problem - or this would have happened a long long time ago and been fixed already.
Just copy the patch files from earlier in the thread, run a repair, then load through the broken launch client. or use the bin file .exe. whatever works - you'll still be able to play. Like i'm going to go do right now. |

Dearest CCP,
We've had our ups and our downs. Our lows and lowest lows. But darlin' I think it's clear that we're starting to hit rock bottom. Baby, please please. Just listen to me. Things we're going real great. Those intimate nights that we'd spend with each other exploring, learning new things together, blowing large holes into others. I loved you because you have such more depth than any other MMO out there. You were there to pick me up after WoW and for that, I am forever grateful. The way that I had immersed myself into your world and how you were accepting of me.
Then I had an epiphany...
I am in love with a broken *****.
You only accepted me into your life because I dole out a wad of cash every month. You turn out broken tricks like a launcher. That's junior grade, amateur stuff. I had higher expectations. Darlin' you don't put out like you used to.
The point is this babe. GET YOUR SELF FIXED, NOW! OR ELSE DADDY IS GOING TO HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER ***** TO PLEASURE HIMSELF.
Sincerely,
Cirdan |

Regarding the launcher, the update appeared to install successfully, however, I too am stuck in "offline mode".
I killed applicable processes, ran the repair tool (also appeared successful) and relaunched the program (from source, not a shortcut). The update installed again but I was still met with offline mode.
At this point, I came to the forums and downloaded the patch. Upon trying to install it (to the proper directory), I received the following errors: Error1 then after clicking OK, Error2.
Thinking there may have been a conflict between the auto and manual patch installs, I ran the repair utility then manually installed the patch again. This took care of the two errors above, but am still in offline mode.
Note: Bypassing the launcher works, my problem is the launcher. |

Okay, using the Repair Tool (had to run it twice) and then running the EXEFile from the Bin folder got me into the old launcher, and then the game itself. Bonus! Thanks to all who suggested this tip.
But...all of my settings, overview changes, chat windows etc etc are gone. Apparently using the Launcher will fix these issues, but is there any other way? Worried that using the Launcher will put me back to square one... |

Seems we really have screwed the pooch here CCP.
If this is yet another example of escalating ineptitude inside CCP it does not bode well for the release of the next box of frogs you throw our way does it?.
I am not having any problems logging in multiple clients but the screams of frustration coming down my phone and from other rooms in my home are EPIC in the extreme.
Just like your 'Compromised' inventory rubbish and not to forget the CQ 'BS' (edited for the faint hearted)
CCP has yet again forced down the throats of paying customers another broken product update that they already knew was broken before hand.
Now all they do is sit there hold up there hand and meekly beg for 'System Logs'......WHY! you already knew what the problem was before you released it yet you still went ahead and did it.
Now man up and roll this crap back out of the game so that people who pay real money for it can actually use it and stop hiding in that fictional world you inhabit and listen to players for once.

I've now logged in with several accounts but so far only one seems to of 'stuck' in the username dropdown. This will totally mess up the order in which I want my accounts to be listed in the dropdown ...mind you, you've probably changed it to sort by username length or some equally obscure sort method.
Hopefully you can follow this - when you put in your username and use the tab key, its all good, goes to the password field. If you click on the dropdown list for any reason and then type a username and use the tab, it uses a username from the dropdown instead of the one you just typed.
Scrollbar on the Latest News is ******* atrocious, when trying to use it it appears to select elements of the text / other stuff.
You have the advert in the bottom left, I assume it cycles through several, however there only seems to be 1 (buddy one) and scrolling 1 advert makes it look like its flickering, looks totally ****.
Launchers are crap, but if you must persist at least don't get things like the above wrong, it just demonstrates a total lack of any QC, these are not hard things to miss.
Its broken and its been broken for a long time and it'll be broken for some time to come. |

Dearest CCP,
We've had our ups and our downs. Our lows and lowest lows. But darlin' I think it's clear that we're starting to hit rock bottom. Baby, please please. Just listen to me. Things we're going real great. Those intimate nights that we'd spend with each other exploring, learning new things together, blowing large holes into others. I loved you because you have such more depth than any other MMO out there. You were there to pick me up after WoW and for that, I am forever grateful. The way that I had immersed myself into your world and how you were accepting of me.
Then I had an epiphany...
I am in love with a broken *****.
You only accepted me into your life because I dole out a wad of cash every month. You turn out broken tricks like a launcher. That's junior grade, amateur stuff. I had higher expectations. Darlin' you don't put out like you used to.
The point is this babe. GET YOUR SELF FIXED, NOW! OR ELSE DADDY IS GOING TO HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER ***** TO PLEASURE HIMSELF.
Sincerely,
Cirdan

The connection issues are being investigated. This is a simple (but extremely annoying) case of our webservers not responding.
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.

Hi Guys...
The Same thing happen to me when I lunch Eve Launcher, It would give me a Message that said No internet connection found.
So I tried re-installing the Client but still the same error happen.
I downloaded the Launcher which was in this forum and now i had a new cool looking launcher but said no internet connection found relaunch launcher and still nothing. Only a message about a cookie O_o...
So this is what I did I repaired the Client and then went to the eve folder where you can find the Bin Folder. I Open it and found the ExeFile and Open it (Running it as Admin) Then it skipped the launcher stepped and took me straight to the log in screen. Where I logged in and enter the world of eve where the Faction ships change ONLY the skin color and NOT shape.... Also where Tech II Ships ONLY change Skin color as well... oh I almost forgot and NAMES!;.... but the ship STAYS... the same
The only difference is the color and name... I guess what CCP can only do is Change the Skin Color of the Ship.... Mhmm... oh and names....Hopefully this year we see a change and more of an effort in CCP to have more creativity when it comes with the shape of ships also Planets... since they look like Golf Balls floating in space..... How about you make them bigger? and actually change the colors maybe by the regions they are in? More planets? Different Planets? Better Combat affects? Also Audio? The Gate Jump Effect in this new Patch should of been done a long time ago... Back to the topic
#1 Repair the Client (If you re-installed like me then just download the new launcher Manually Found in Page 1)
#2 Open the Eve File Folder Find the BIN Folder open it
#3 Find the ExeFile and Lunch it.
Hopefully this works for you It has worked for myself and my Corp/Mates |

To the Dev question:
I can connect to the txt link u gave, the other one dont work.
Tried the eve file in bin and it always tells me that the update has been downloaded and that it will exit so that the update can be completed (which I had already done before). After all is finished, I get the new launcher (as before) but no connection.
Also I wanted t confirm what others have said, that upon quitting launcher... in task manager shows a multitude of launcher.exe (up to 6 in my case so far).
And to the mac user down here.... the incompatible protocol Im geting it too in Windows. |

If you cant log into eve because you have an incompatible build run the repair tool it will patch the eve file to latest version and you cant then log into eve by running the exefile.

The Chribba "fix" is nothing more than getting the update files you would normally get if the launcher was working correctly. It bypasses the work the repair tool does as well. The "fix" is popular because people can actually get to the files to download.
Note: Not bashing Chribba at all - he's a fine person!

First link doesn't work for me. second goes.
tried different pc's (behind firewall and no firewall) same result, no connection to server.
I tried the direct 'ExeFile.exe' , gives me a download, which ends in the same result.
If I say 'no' to the download I cannot do anything as I get the message 'incompatible'.
I propose you revert to the previous launcher until you find out what is happening. Seeing the number of complaints, this new launcher is a misser and lets a lot of people wonder why you changed a working setup into this cr**.
I also tried the 'repair.exe' also didn't work |

Actually, no, you're wrong. I did as they suggested in
It ran the update it's true but it either shows incompatible protocol afterwards when launching from the EXE in \bin folder, or "offline" message when launched from launcher.
...but thank you for your insightful shouting about the possible workaround however CCP stated in that same post:

I shall wait until CCP fixes their web server issue which, if you read the entirepost from CCP, suggests that the web server may be the issue and for which they have not yet found a resolution:
Quote:Updating the Launcher or the client requires connecting to our currently overloaded web servers and as a result, EVE Online players may not be able to either properly update your EVE Online client, the EVE Launcher, or connect properly to the Tranquility server to play EVE Online. |

maybe ccp are pouring too many devs into dust 514 and depriving the dedication from the people that pay for their projects on eve.
maybe ccp needs to rethink. dust is free, eve ain't free even if you pay for the game time (plex) with isk. the plex you buy from in-game comes from real cash.
all i am saying is their under pressure from PlayStation so they are pushing us to one side, i should not have to use work a- rounds to access a game paid for.
please do not become EA!

no fixes worked for me except earlier. When just going into bin and running ExeFile.exe, I would get the incompatible error as well. copying the files from the .zip above fixed that. Just download them, make a back up of the files and folders being replaced (just in case), then copy paste the files from the zip into your eve directory. then go into bin and run ExeFile.exe and you're in.
Thanks for the fix!! |

maybe ccp needs to rethink. dust is free, eve ain't free even if you pay for the game time (plex) with isk. the plex you buy from in-game comes from real cash.
all i am saying is their under pressure from PlayStation so they are pushing us to one side, i should not have to use work a- rounds to access a game paid for.
please do not become EA!
They are probably finding the FTP w/ micro transaction model to be more profitable and thus shifting people that way. |

On your own risk ofc but worked fine for me. Else many suggested running repair.exe which seems to work in some cases. /c

Do me a favor CCP, when your done making a mess of things, and get this fixed, Contact me at [email protected]. I removed Eve Online from my computer, because your installer wouldn't work. Now I can't get your Eve_Online_Installer to install.
I am so fed up with you breaking things that didn't need to be "Fixed", and not fixing things that needed to be fixed. Oh and hey, can you put all my toons 8 accounts, to skilling the longest skill you can find till you get things running right again? Did you people even think while you were screwing this up? I am not sure what you thought needed to be fixed, but I do know a swift kick in some of your Dev's cans might be the answer to all of Eve's problems. Where are the T 3 BS's? Promised never delivered, when are you going to fix invention? Nothing being done that needs fixing but oh hey! We have decided to screw up some more stuff to fix later. Get it fixed or I go somewhere else. I really don't want to quit Eve, rather like the game, don't like the way you "Fix" things only to have the fixes go to hell very rapidly. Every download, not one or two, but every single download needs a fix. Why is that? Can't get it right the 1st time? Quit putting beta stuff out. Fix it right before you pass it on as ready to go. Might take me a week just to get the damn game downloaded again. It's ok tho, I was getting tired of skilling.

This is really a few separate threads of rage merged into one, isn't it? Fwiw, I'm now going into my 3rd hour of running the repair tool over and over again trying to set myself up to even attempt the other fixes, so that might be coloring my reactions as I read through the thread and few dev responses.
* Kudos first to the most epic persistent gatecamp in Eve--whoever is camping the gate between the Sisi feedback forum and CCP developers has once again shown they are absolute masters of the craft. I bow to both their effectiveness and their dedication.
* Ever play that game..."The Worst Job in the World Has Got to Be...." with friends and family? My nomination for today is "Whoever is in charge of Public/Customer Relations for CCP". Holy hell. Since any professional in the field, talented amateur, or drooling, brain-injured sloth would be taking even some basic steps like
---------1) Placing regular, time-stamped updates on the first post of this thread with the latest information directly pertaining to the problem and when the playerbase is likely to hear from CCP again on the issue.
---------2) Insisting that any time there is going to be an update with the client, that it is announced ahead of time, and that there is a link on the launcher, on the forums, on your twitter feed, whatever, that points to what the update IS and why you're downloading anything at all instead of proceeding directly to Eve. Why frustrate customers completely needlessly?
---------3) Staying ahead of the rage, and providing a way to encourage its diversion. Where's the thread started by CCP titled "Show us the best thing about the new launcher in this thread. We'll pick one random entry to win a PLEX." You have the most creative, snarky, hilarious playerbase in gaming. Laugh at yourself, and let us laugh too. Isn't that better than reading page after page of how horrible you are?
Since none of these are happening, I can only assume that the Customer Relations folks are being forcibly prevented from doing their jobs. Being tied to a flagpole and beaten with hoses when you're honorably striving to keep the community updated with news makes for a horrific work environment. If you guys manage to send out a Morse Code message by blinking or something, we'll try to mount a rescue. We love you and believe in your ability to excel at your vital mission. Honestly, the coder types, I understand that an hourly update is probably taking them away from their work too much, but what exactly is today's higher priority item than this for Customer/Public Relations?
* It really isn't even rage at this point from your longer-term players, CCP. It's kind of a bewildered amusement/frustration mix. I await with pleasure the day that you figure out once and for all how feedback loops with your players actually work, and show us that efforts we make to tell you something isn't working actually translate into efforts being made to, you know, have them work. Right now it's more along the lines of, "Oh look, the cat is sitting in the litter box and pooping over the side again" every time we go through these "rough patches".
In good humor, and slight annoyance,
Boiglio

Every time after an update CCP sends out a questionnaire. Every time I say "Please, please, please do not implement poorly tested features". And every time CCP is more than happy to step into the same sh*t, showing a littler respect to users. Ups, they did it again today. I am wodering what is the reason to do this?

I have encounter the same issue. Manualy downloaded the new patcher listed here and launcher don't find connection.
i have found how to repair this issue, simply execute the file "eve_folder / launcher / launcher.exe" as administrator (right click on file and execute as administrator).
The launcher start correctly and update the files needed. After this the common eve shortcut will work properly.

What idiot made this a connection based launcher? Its the most misreble thing ive ever had to run. Stop makeing things worse trying to be fancy. Make it simple and easy to run.
Launcher only need the be 2 things, the client updater and a BIG LAUNCH button to open clients AND NO AUTO CLOSE |

Please close your EVE Clients and the EVE Launcher and then restart the EVE Launcher again. When you start the EVE Launcher the first time it looks for your settings in the wrong place, that is fixed as soon as you start the EVE Launcher the next time, then it will load the settings from the correct location.

There is a launcher option to disable auto-close. Still, it is very annoying that you have to switch logins in the launcher if you're running multiple accounts. Single-Sign-On in the launcher is not a good idea with multiple accounts. |

God damnit CCP way to screw up another patch! This new launcher is very slow and does not cater to multiboxers at all. I had to type my 3rd account username in 4 times before the launcher would actually take it and stop replacing it with the first username!
I could tolerate the launcher when it only came up to patch the client, but now that I have to interact with it just to login, its most annoying! I'll probably change my shortcut to just launch the Exefile.exe directly rather than launch the launcher, and then just run the launcher when I need to patch.
PLEASE CCP, when you do stuff like this, take your entire playerbase into consideration and make ALL new features optional! |

After hours of messing around, I deleted the old installation, and re-installed. That took about 2 hours.
The first time I started the launcher, I got a blank popup. Second time I finally got a launch screen. It's now validating the client.
From what I can see, the new launcher is going to be of limited usefulness to me, since I have 5 accounts. I really think the old launcher was better.
If I start Eveexe.exe multiples times, will it let me pick the account I want to use? |

I can start through the bin folder but would like it to work properly.

Hmm. Right away (after getting it working) I don't like the new launcher as it gives me a few issues.
I generally run two accounts at once on the same PC and alt-tab between them. I used to start up the launcher then hit "play" twice and use my different accounts on each client that popped up. Now I need to log into the launcher, launch the client, alt-tab back to the launcher, log out, log in with account 2, launch the client again... and it seems much more cumbersome and slow.
Plus the "retribution" login screen is gone, the progress loading bars seem to overlay on top of one another so they are an unreadable mass of white pixels...
Oh, and it wouldn't launch anything until I re-downloaded the launcher, ran the update again and I now have to run it as admin just to get it to start....
Not impressed. It was so smooth and seamless before...

Well.
There's an option to "clear cached usernames". Very useful.
Only the launcher doesn't seem to remember any usernames. At all.
Very annoying indeedm espcially with multiple accounts.
And even worse as I have it, multiple installs. I never used to enter the usernames at all, only passwords.
Please fix, at least give us the option.
Hell, I would like it to remember my password as well (as an option) |

Worst ******* launcher ever in history of computing. Why the hell do we need this pile of steaming ****? I want to start the game. Easy and fast. Not have to retype my login name gazillion times because the **** launcher can't even remember that. Not to mention hit login button and then get to enjoy hitting play because I obviously want to hang around in that atrocious pile of crap that is the launcher. Then we have the whole creating new directory for settings with the wonderful DOS relic ~1 in the middle of the name...
How about you actually hire some humans for doing the launcher as it is obvious that whatever form of lower life you hired is unable to produce anything even resembling decent. |

Proposal 1: As a bittervet I have more than one account. I'm wishing a solution for a better upstart of the client, like a "play" button for each account.
Proposal 2: I need a button to make the launcher smaller but usable. I pay even when the screen clutter is gone. |

For everyone complaining about the new login method using the launcher, there is a solution: Dont use it
Goto your Eve install directory, then goto the \Bin\ folder. Look for ExeFile.exe, and create a shortcut to this file. If you use the symbolic link directory method for running multiple clients, you will need to do this from each symbolic folder.
Once you create your shortcuts, just copy/move them to your desktop. The client will fire up with all your settings (provided you didnt muck with your %appdata%\local\CCP folder) and you will have your saved login usernames same as before.
The only thing you loose doing it this was is the auto updating part of the launcher. If your client becomes outdated (due to a recently released patch) your client will display "Incompatible Protocol" If this happens, close your client, open the launcher, allow it to patch your client, then reopen your client with the "No Launcher" shortcut you created above.
Congrats and now stop your bitching, and get to killing things :P |

I love how you have TWO devs making 'It's fixed' posts at 20:51.
Maybe if your staff spent more time, I dunno... testing or making stuff that isn't terrible, and less time browsing the forums, things like this might not happen.
You might also want to communicate internally a little more so you can have ONE 'It's fixed' message go out.

You added extra steps to log in (especially multiple clients).
You also made it take even longer to switch characters on the same account by removing the log off button (something I do often).

In addition to these features, weGÇÖve worked on a new version for the Mac which should also be deployed soon, which brings much closer parity between the Windows and Mac EVE Launchers, with a new embedded browser and low level tweaks to the EVE Launcher. A devblog about the EVE Launcher upgrade can be found here, further information about SSO is available here.

Now if you could fix the issue of the login box only saves the first username to log in that would be great. I run 3 clients using the symbolic link directory structure, and ALL of them only see the first username to log in. Also you cant hit tab to goto the password filed, as it clears whatever you just typed for a username, and reverts back to whatever username you used the FIRST time you logged in with the launcher. |

Thank you CCP for unveiling this pile of equine *****.
1: When using multiple accounts on the same client install it now takes even longer for me to log in.
2: Upon my first login with this I find that every single setting I had has now been reset, thank you for making me spend the next 20-30 minutes redoing all my settings.
3: I will now be unable to even touch Eve on my linux box because I can't get into settings on the game before it launches full screen and breaks Wine.
If I didn't have so much time, effort, and money invested in this game, this new launcher of yours would have lost you 3 paying accounts because of all the hassle I'm having.
Good job.
PS: Ever hear the saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it'? Previous launcher wasn't broke, why did you try to fix it? |

Goto your Eve install directory, then goto the \Bin\ folder. Look for ExeFile.exe, and create a shortcut to this file. If you use the symbolic link directory method for running multiple clients, you will need to do this from each symbolic folder.
Once you create your shortcuts, just copy/move them to your desktop. The client will fire up with all your settings (provided you didnt muck with your %appdata%\local\CCP folder) and you will have your saved login usernames same as before.
The only thing you loose doing it this was is the auto updating part of the launcher. If your client becomes outdated (due to a recently released patch) your client will display "Incompatible Protocol" If this happens, close your client, open the launcher, allow it to patch your client, then reopen your client with the "No Launcher" shortcut you created above.
Congrats and now stop your bitching, and get to killing things :P
This is interesting, but I'm not sure what you are saying. What are 'symbolic links'?

Symbolic links is a way to have x number of directories with eve installed (x being number of accounts) without using that much space. You basically have one real folder and then rest are just fake links that client sees as a separate path. That way you can have x number of settings (like colour scheme and things like that) while still using up space for one client and having to patch only once.
On windows systems this is normally done with junction (free tool from MS). |

Again we apologize for the issues caused by these server troubles. But all my settings are gone... Please close your EVE Clients and the EVE Launcher and then restart the EVE Launcher again. When you start the EVE Launcher the first time it looks for your settings in the wrong place, that is fixed as soon as you start the EVE Launcher the next time, then it will load the settings from the correct location.

Nah it's just a tiny utility. You run it for each directory you want to sym link and that's it. After that you can delete it. No install or anything of the sort. |

P No 03 wrote:For all of those bashing CCP for "not fixing the issue." Please by all means, go do it better. They've brought you the game and services thus far and yet you complain about a simple launcher issue...the gaming community is saddening. Have some patience I'm sure they're working on it.
The issue is not just that they broke the launcher.
It is that they broke something that they did not even have to touch, the old launcher was better for multiboxing as many EVE players do. It worked equally well for non multiboxers. there was no need for the new launcher, just as there was no need for WiS with Incarna.
If that is not enough reason to be mad at CCp, the launcher was on SiSi and did not work. its use was optional so most players including myself just did not use it because it did not work. They ignored all the complaints about the launcher on the test server and put it on TQ anyway. Even though many tester had problems with it.
What they should have done was gotten it working perfectly on SiSi first, then went live with it. If it bugged then at least they would have an excuses. But sending a new launcher that they new was broken to the live server was a huge mistake. Saying they did not know it was broken is BS as the feed back on it was almost all negative with many players not able to even use it.
What i see is a return to the pre incarna mentality where they ignored the player feed back and did their own thing. We know how that turned out. Not to say that there would not have been problems if they had listened to the player feedback, but at least the players would not be able to say, "I told you it was broken. Why didn't you fix it before it went live?"
in reality, CCP has done a very good job with EVE. They have had several very good, nearly bug free expansions, they were over due for a bump in the road. It just would not have looked so bad if the launcher had stayed in testing until it actually worked. It was still not working on SiSi a few days ago when I tried, It has not been fixed there. Why would it work on the live server when it did not work on SiSi? Why did they not make it optional like it was on SiSi? As I said before, the problem is not just that there was a major bug in the new patch. It is that they knew it was not working properly before they released it, yet they released it anyway. |

I don't know about you but when I'm playing eve, I have it full screen and I'm not trolling about on the forums. Yes I get it that you could log in through the IGB and read the forums but I could count the number of times I've done that since creating my account on my toes....

Seriously, who the hell thought that changing the launcher and nuking all my settings was a good idea, I honestly want to know so I can start a petition to have them fired. Apart from a litany of problems with it mechanically, the damned thing is simply ugly and nothing more than a giant ******* Eve advertisement FOR PEOPLE WHO ALREADY GIVE MONEY TO CCP.
You can't tell me that my settings couldn't be salvaged, that's a bullshit excuse and only somewhat works if you admit you scrapped alot of good developers for rookies who will just do what they're told and churn out factory grade garbage for the executive board. CCP should know by now how anal retentive and detail oriented their player base is, and know how big of a stink even changing the font would cause, much less SCRAPPING MY ENTIRE LIST OF SETTINGS.
As if that weren't enough of the problem, the change is completely pointless. It adds nothing to eve but more frustration and homogenizes it to look like every other game. It's even a broken piece of **** like most other games too, so thanks CCP; my downward spiral of desubbing accounts from a grand total of 9 when Incarna dropped, has now declined to merely 1 account left, and that one is on the way too if you **** up Odyssey as much as it looks like it will be ******.
Really, I wanna know what corporate fuckwit keeps coming up with all these bad ideas, whereupon I will find him and kick him in the nuts. "Herp derp 100mn tengus are op, let's nerf heavy missles; oh no we had no idea they would fit arties to nados; we thought people would love CQ, no really!"

It's still there. Go to your EVE directory, then to /bin and just make a shortcut to "exefile.exe" This will bypass the ******** launcher and offer you the usual login screen. One that actually remembers your login and has only one enter to start the game instead of login and then play.
Once they patch eve it will tell you that it's wrong protocol. Run launcher then to patch the game and go back to loging in easy and fast instead of slow and convoluted. |

PS: Ever hear the saying "If it ain't broke don't fix it'? Previous launcher wasn't broke, why did you try to fix it?
Because it makes it easier for their outsourced coders to impliment new **** when the game is just like every other game they work on. Thus they homogenize the market and make it so you don't complain as much when they feed you ****. Kinda like how when gas spiked to $10 in the US that when it finally went down to $3 nobody complained. |

The first time you run the launcher, it can't find your settings. If you quit the launcher and relaunch it, it will find them. Nothing has been deleted.
CCP has a lot of plans for single sign-on, and if they pull half of them off we'll be pretty happy. Well, most of us will be.

Why do I get the impression that a lot of these "features" - the launcher, the return of radial menus which we all abandoned years ago...etc - are being introduced to fill out someone's resum+¬?
I wonder if data was recorded for how many people checked the "do not show launcher unless there's an update" option... Was it underutilised and removed as reduntant, or was it overutilised and therefore removed in the same way as the load station environment option was automatically rechecked at Incarna release? |

The first time you run the launcher, it can't find your settings. If you quit the launcher and relaunch it, it will find them. Nothing has been deleted. CCP has a lot of plans for single sign-on, and if they pull half of them off we'll be pretty happy. Well, most of us will be.

Apparently that's just some excuse that happened to work for some people so they suggested it as a bandaid for everyone.
Edit: It's also worth mentioning that the launcher just plain doesn't work 2 out of 5 times I tried it. |

Give it a few hours, they'll patch out this bypass like they have hundreds of others. You will play the game than hand you the way they want you, or else they'll just break it. Kinda like how they broke Drakes. |

No no. Redoing your chat channels, your overview, your interface settings are all part of the game. EVE is real yo. |

Well they are learning from SONY. Who better to teach them customer hostile ways. After all customers are there to be mistreated. Not like they have a choice if they will give you their money or not.
To be honest if CCP continues this kind of ****** **** I might get so busy in RL that subscriptions will go away. It's one thing to make a mistake but not even a ******** monkey would think that this launcher was an improvement on anything (unless the goal is to get a lot of pissed off customers, then it worked impressively). |

Thanks for fixing the web site, that fixed the launcher. Without the launcher, my settings would have been lost. Oh boy it really gets me mad when my settings are lost.
BTW is there a documentation on where they're saved now, and how to backup and restore them? I'd REALLY love to be able to do that on account of, you know, patch issues.
Anyway, hope you have some ideas how to make the Launcher more resilient now and please make sure whoever is responsible for the launcher is aware that that is a real issue that makes simple customers like me really mad, and don't just let her or his point his or her finger at the Web Team.
Once again, thank you for getting it fixed, now make sure it stays fixed. |

Method to the madness. If they alienate everyone who can be alienated, that is to say the people who complain and make their voices heard with their money, then who is left? The people who just haplessly fork over their federal reserve notes regardless. The proverbial golden goose. Keeping people around who are likely to be malcontent and demand good gameplay might make the sheeple make too much noise, which leads to them losing their easy buck. As ****** up as it is, expect to see more of it, as they milk out the rest of the Eve franchise, then farm the servers over to SOE or something and go full speed on White Wolf Online.
It's simply the market. Why create something designed to give you long term profit based on quality, when you can churn out ****, and make a fuckton of money (plus severance) in a 5 year period, they bail before the liability issues catch up with you. It's the formula EA has used for years and because the market has been so adulterated with dumb consumers and bad games, other developers are starting to catch on. |

I think someone needs a talking to before they lose their job. people shouldnt have to wait nearly 30 pages before a dev repeats a fix that the players have already come up with. something has to be done about this. |

Why would they tell you about it? That implies that they care about what you think. I mean, if they can get you used to just taking their **** from them with no consequences, then all the better for their profit margins.
Edit: The dev's couldn't fix the problems because all the competent devs, the ones that weren't sycophants, got scrapped and replaced with yes men who just control the mob while their outsourced coding department plays catchup. |

As far as I can tell this launcher update is pretty bad.
I keep my clients running from different, junctioned folders to keep their settings separate. It also meant I didn't have to choose which account I logged into every damn time, because every folder was for a client that only ever logged into that one account.
All this is gone now. The launcher seems to have no regard whatsoever for folder junctions, or is storing its data in the program folder instead of the relevant settings folder.
Choosing which account you want to log into is janky as hell. I'll type in the name of another account and tab t the password box, and it's instantly gone back to what was in there before. It took me like six tries to even enter another account name in there and get it to work; I had to click. After you've done that, selecting another account apparently requires you to click on the dropdown every time regardless of where the launcher is run from, and even then it doesn't always work.

In case you have not guessed, I'm not happy about the launcher, how badly it installed and how it reset my settings.
This may not be as bad as it seems at first but I only managed to initiate the login process before being so filled with rage that it would not have been a good idea to play. So I finished letting Eve load and quit to come here only pausing long enough to turn captains quarters off before exiting. |

Just realized after consultation with other players, I STILL HAVE THE OLD LAUNCHER RUNNING .
After the DT update for some reason mine host here held onto the one thing that has always worked....The TRUSTY OLD LAUNCHER, no messing around there, multiple clients neatly stored available at a single click when ever I wanted to log on.
But of course, SONY dictate that this cannot be, as a paying customer I must be abused and subjected to multiple annoyances daily, like loosing all my log in information for my clients, once easy to hand I must now find they have all been erased and I must re-enter each and every one every time I restart the NEW IMPROVED EVE LAUNCHER, and then to add customer content, I must navigate my way slowly through the log in process for each and every client, waiting interminably as they grind there way through reams of very badly written code...(Thinks....'And I am paying for THIS!!!!! ).
way to go CCP (AKA SONY). you really made certain my play pleasure/interest coefficient soared off the bottom of the boredom scale.
IF IT DOES NOT WORK......and obviously it has so many issues for so many paying customers....PULL IT UNTIL YOU FIX IT. |

Trying to be positive, seriously allow us to save the password, world of Tanks allows it, why can't EVE do the same?
its my personal PC, its my security problem, let me save the password in my pc, please.
Also allow us to create a master account with a login and password that I can use to associate all my accounts and if I use this account to login to EVE it should show me all my accounts and I just need to choose one and press PLAY, no need to input my password several times.

It's not hard to have patches roll out with few kinks, especially when your patches include no new content; merely a compilation of regurgitated and recycled content from other sources. Even more so when your developers have their heads so far up EFT's and CFC's rear that they can't see without getting crap in their eye. |

multy login still works for me
3 seperated installs with 3 shortcuts on desktop (with LUA OFF thingy in shortcut) after updating the launcher 3 times i get still have seperated settings for my 3 accounts.
would have been easier if the launcher would use a seperated setup for each account name you log in with so i dont need to have 3x install and launching the launcher 3 times.
and btw was it so hard to put in that after the install of the new launcher... the launcher shut down and relaunch..... its not that hard to do (hell i just updated LOTRO launcher and it did just that..update and restart launcher.)
and yeah where is the logoff button... even more...where is the logof to character screen button, CCP said last year at fanfest they would look into that for giving us this this year. |

Meh, the fact that the launcher can log you into the game as it starts was a neat idea, just badly executed on the first release. If I could actually start multiple differentiated copies of the launcher in each junction and they would already know which account to log into, it wouldn't really be any different than what I'm used to.

What the hell guys? multy login still works for me 3 seperated installs with 3 shortcuts on desktop (with LUA OFF thingy in shortcut) after updating the launcher 3 times i get still have seperated settings for my 3 accounts. would have been easier if the launcher would use a seperated setup for each account name you log in with so i dont need to have 3x install and launching the launcher 3 times. and btw was it so hard to put in that after the install of the new launcher... the launcher shut down and relaunch..... its not that hard to do (hell i just updated LOTRO launcher and it did just that..update and restart launcher.)
The fact that you just mentioned Eve and anything made by Turbine in the same sentence is not only symptomatic of everything wrong with CCP, but it's also insulting. |

Best workaround is to go into your Eve directory, find the bin file, and create a shortcut to exefile.exe; bypasses the launcher completely. |

- Old launcher said "unable to connect to the internet", but had a button to "Launch Eve". Pressing that button resulted in Eve saying "wrong protocol".
- Downloaded new launcher installer from the CCP dev post link (at the start of this thread) and ran that.
- New launcher also did not connect, and lacked the button to launch Eve.
- Ran ExeFile.exe manually (by the way, how about naming the game executable something a bit more descriptive, like "EveOnline.exe" or "EveClient.exe" ?), got a prompt saying there was a game update, and telling me it would now be installed.
- Ran game update, which, after updating the game, re-downloaded the launcher update and ran that again.
- Final window said there had been an error during the update. Turned out to be because the launcher was already running (why can't the launcher updater close the launcher or at least give a descriptive error message?).
- Closed launcher, ran ExeFile.exe again. Got the prompt saying there was an update again. This time the update ran "correctly" (re-updating the already updated game and re-updating the already updated launcher) but, once finished, launched the (new) launcher, which said I wasn't connected to the internet.
- Ran ExeFile.exe again. Got the "there's a new game update" prompt again.
- Basically stuck in a cycle; starting launcher results in "no connection", running ExeFile.exe results in a never-ending update cycle.
- Ran Repair.exe instead (again, how about naming it something more descriptive, like "EveRepair.exe" ?).
- Got an error saying the launcher was running and couldn't be updated (at least the repair tool says what is causing the error, but still, couldn't it simply close the launcher?).
- Repair finished without reporting any errors (i.e., apparently without doing anything).
- Ran ExeFile.exe again.
- No update prompt this time; Eve Finally started and was able to connect to the server.
Based on this, my advice to anyone having problems is:
- Close the launcher (use Process Explorer / Task Manager / etc. to make sure it's really not running).
- Run the repair tool.
- After it finishes, run ExeFile.exe (and not the launcher)

Purchasing A Plex with money
Purchasing a Plex with ISK - This would open the players wallet so that the player could access the market directly to buy a Plex if the player has enough ISK to make the purchase. If not then the player would have the Four Hour Tour option available.
Launching the Four Hour Tour for a player to purchase a Plex

It's not a false perception. I initially bought a product from CCP that I enjoyed. As I started to enjoy their changes less and less, I gave them less and less money; but what incentive is there for them to care when the entire market is in cahoots with each other when it comes to keeping quality low and making a quick buck? Assuming all of that, then what else is this other than outright abuse of the playerbase. |

I really hope that you'll introduce some really cool changes in the game's actual main menu with Odyssey, else this has become by far the most boring, dull, impractical and ugly main menu ever... |

That's the difference betwen us .You get all emo day in day out like baltec and mates because some guy in high-sec is mining in more safety and the guy running his incursion there has a decent income.I don't give a rats ass about that as long as they have fun sure wtf do i care.I however do care when i want to log on to my game for some relaxation and find it is quite the opposite.I can not log in and when i finally can everythings a mess.
You find it odd i can complain about some small rl trouble and i find it odd that you complain about some small fictional trouble.

Yeah you guys still have **** to fix with this mess. launcher.exe occurs twice in processes, then doesn't go away when the game is closed out. Try to start eve again, and two more launcher.exe's happen, making 4 total, and so on, and so on.
I 'end' all of them, and eve will startup fine, but slow as molasses. I timed it at 4 minutes to hanger, lol, which is a joke. It was 30 seconds this morning. |

Problems with the new launcher when I got home today.
Symptoms:
1) "Offline" feature has been moved over from Sisi launcher I see.
2) Try all three of the "workarounds". None work
3) Start the launcher from eve.exe, It starts the launcher and it actually starts patching this time! :O
4) Takes about 20 minutes to validate install.
5) Log in, sweet, in game.
6) Try to log-in alt, no dice. Have to go through steps 3-5 again

If CCP can adapt this to make it more multi-account friendly, then i reckon its a necessary evil that people will get used to. If they leave it as it is, well, its basically pissed off a large percentage of the userbase. |

So what we here at CCP do is find the thing that you least likely expect and/or want to be changed .... and change it.

Launcher shows "Offline" on first launch.
Login interface looks like a web page, not a game login. Switching between characters is not intuitive but I guess it is matter of being used to it.
The start screen with music and animation has been replaced by a black screen with screwed up fonts, then we finally get to the character selection.
ALL Eve Clients settings got reset (again), including graphics, audio, interface, overview, side menu, windows, market settings and browser bookmarks. It was not expected and very annoying. |

You may want to ditch your settings, cache etc and see if it stops trying to validate the client. Mine is working normally. There's a file or two somewhere that stores the checksums of the client and mess, if that stuff is messed up it will continually try validating the client.

This is very, very basic stuff.
It is also the first thing a new player will see upon trying your game.
Today, while your launcher was broken nubbins were downloading the game, trying to run the launcher and giving up to go and play some F2P rubbish like warframes instead.
OK, most of them would have quit because of the learning curve and of the remainder probably 90% would have never ventured into low-sec in a mining barge for me to explode, but still.
You should not be ******* this up any more. The boot ini issue was beyond poor.
Since that day you should have had a testing framework in place for new patcher updates to save ******* this up.
This is supposed to be the new improved CCP that makes a product people want and consequently does very well. I want to still be popping poorly fit Caracals in 2020.
Don't go back to being the CCP of old. That company did not have much of a future. |

Man, I loved the login screens and music. It made each new expansion feel more real and have a distinct color and character.
I want the launcher to patch the game, and have a button to get into the game. I DON'T want to login with it!! Also, I DON'T want to be bombarded with information that I would normally care about, WHILE LOGGING IN. The launcher is NOT a webpage, that's what eveonline.com is for!!
The EVE launcher is:
An application to patch EVE.
An application to fix EVE when you eat our boot.ini.
A button to click to start EVE.
No more.
No less.

SETTINGS RECOVERY - OUGHT TO BE LINKED IN A CCP POST (rewrite if this isn't clear)
Emiko P'eng wrote:Minus seveal million for losing my settings ...
You should be able to recover your settings. Go to this file:
C:\Users\InsertUsernameHere\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE
You can find it by entering %Appdata% into any search box in Windows.
You should see a bunch of folders, including:
c_program_files_eve_online_tranquility
This will change if you installed EVE somewhere other than default location; the _tranquility suffix should be the same though.
c_progra~1_eveonl~1_tranquility
Again, it may be different but you're looking for something with ~1 in it.
Copy the "settings" folder from the first folder to the second. That should fix most things for you. |

Do not like
Yes I get the SSO deal but I personally still like being presented by station with asteroids screen.
Or do you want something constructive. Cool here's one.
Using the launcher, yada yada, get my portrait selection screen. pick one, on, then hit esc in order to "Log out" in order to select different character . . . sorry "Quit Game" only. So it closes the Game Client and unlike the Log out, doesn't restart it. Ugh. Yes it seems minor and nitpicky but really, your launcher update has no real value-added while recoding the client interface itself so that log out put you back at your three character selection screen vice close --> autorestart would have been a far better QOL improvement. Fortunately the direct bin executable still works. |

1. Read this:

2. Pay attention to Method 1 - Junctions
3. Do it
4. ?????
5. Profit
Seriously though, that's how I have multiple clients set up, and each client has it's own settings, including launching each client on the monitor it was configured for. If you configure your launchers to exit after launching the eve client, then all you have to do is launch each launcher after the last one is closed.
By doing this, you only patch one client (don't ever run 2 launchers at the same time, the files get out of synch and then you end up having to patch 2 clients).
Your launchers will only have to verify one client, and everything should work peachy.
Plus you don't have to take up the space of having multiple client installs.

Regarding users running from Steam: when you start the client from Steam the EVE Launcher throws an exception along the lines of "Sorry an error occurred while processing your request" followed by an error code. We are aware of this issue, and can reproduce it in house and we're working on a fix. In the mean time you can work around the problem by starting the EVE client from outside of Steam.
To find the EVE installation associated with your Steam account, right click EVE Online in your Steam library and goto Properties, and from there select the Local Files tab and click the Browse Local Files button. This should open a window showing your EVE installation. From here simply double click eve.exe. If you're still experiencing issues after using this work around, please file a bug report and attach the logs from the EVE Launcher that will be found inside the launcher\cache folder.

I'm using wine on Debian. To get the launcher started I had to switch some libraries from builtin to native.
The launcher got several minutes (not seconds, MINUTES!) to validate the client and during this time my dual 3GHz cpus was blasted to 100% all the time.
After this, only with the launcher opened, my dual 3GHz cpus still ran at 50%, just to show some static images with some characters drawed bad, WTF, it takes more load the a 3d nebula in game when usually spin my cpus at 25%. That's crazy
But the best is to run the client I have to switch back my libraries to builtin, EVERY ******* TIME.
Before I had to switch only on updates.
To get in-game I've got rid of launcher running directly bin/ExeFile.exe.
Onestly CCP, this is pure crap. This idiocy is much more annoying then the infamous changing of the inventory. You always have to mess something to get some extrawork. Maybe you have lot of spare time...
That works too good for CCP standards so you choose to mess it up....
Please, roll it back

This is by far the crappiest update I've ever seen. You've unofficially made it a gigantic pain in the rear to log in a second account concurrently through the SSO or whatever its called. Now instead of simply managing 3 clicks and a password I have to clear out the first login, sign a EULA, provide the name of one of the characters on the account AND THEN select whatever godforsaken alt I choose to log in second.
And now rather than use the updater, which by my account at least worked and had a generalized PLAY button and was fine, almost quick even for launching second accounts, you implement yet another **** feature that was criticized heavily in the SISI forums for being inadequate and not friendly. Its as if nothing at all that was said at FANFEST about being responsive to the player base was really meant, and instead we get lip service and awful crap like this to replace something that worked FINE.
You don't care what the players say about the service you roll out, that's fine, that's your business in the end, but don't sit there and chum around with each other, patting your proverbial backs on a great job at being responsive to what those players think, and blatantly ignore it to roll out something for the sake of your timeline.

And on TOP of that, you have created a new client launcher that makes it so that a player who pays $100 a month to play multiple accounts...
... can no longer do that.
And to all of you who keep saying; "oh I'm doing multiple accounts right now just fine. You must be doing something wrong."...
... well how about you TELL THE REST OF THE WORLD HOW YOU AND ONLY YOU FIXED THE PROBLEM!!!

I have junctions set up, though now it only works with my main client and first junction. Attempting to log in with the second junction keeps reverting to the currently logged in account whenever I try to type something else, which was not the case before the launcher change.

I've got no problems at all launching more than one account at once.
In the launcher options, set the launcher to close after starting Eve Online.
then, to start multiple accounts;
Start launcher.
Login character on account.
start launcher 2nd time.
Login character on account.
My big problem with the launcher, and its not the end of the world, is that after entering my username and password, I then have to hit a big PLAY button. Seriously, why has that changed? What possible reason is there for adding in a pointless extra button click? |

Regarding the traditional login scene and log off options: I mentioned this in another forum thread (here). The traditional login screen and functionality still exists, and many people have been bypassing the EVE Launcher and accessing it to restore the old functionality.
The new login functionality that we deployed today is designed to start changing the way users log into the EVE Universe; whilst it is often true that one shouldn't change something if it isn't broken, such a clich+¬ doesn't allow for changing priorities. Our goal was that by rolling out the new login method, and supporting the single sign on service, we could lay the groundwork to start moving people away from the messy multiboxing setups that have traditionally never been supported by us as a company, and towards something that makes more sense for CCP and the services we provide.
To expand on this point, there are a number of exotic setups for multiboxing involving either multiple physical installs of the game, hybrid symlinks, junctions, soft links, hard links, partial copies and more. And in almost every single case people multi box for one reason: to be able to have individual setups for their settings, or to hasten the login flow. The deployment today, as difficult and bad as it was (for which I apologise) was to deploy the single sign on service, through which we can start to work on these issues. My hope is that in the end, you will be able to log into the EVE Launcher once, which downloads your settings from the cloud, with all of your accounts linked, via either a single EVE master account or via some other OAuth provider, and be able to select characters and switch between them at the click of a single button.
As for the log off button, many people don't really use it to log off from the game, but rather as a quick means to quit the game and restart at the login screen. The new token based authentication that the EVE Launcher uses isn't cleared by the EVE client, and so when it attempts to restart, it will actually attempt to reconnect with expired credentials which would throw an error message. It isn't perfect though, and we will be working on a fix for this tomorrow and in the coming days.

Sorry, I should have clarified.
I can get multiboxing to work with 2 accounts. I was able to do 3 before, but that no longer works. Typing anything in with the third gets reverted back to the currently logged in information typed in the box. I do have it set to close after EVE launches. Using junctions.

The new launcher seems unable to remember the usernames I use, even if the UI give the impression that he should be able do it. The small arrow at right of the username input field don't respond to my mouse clicks, and write few letters don't give any auto-completion...
It was already bothersome to type the password all the time, but if I have to type the username now, it will become REALLY annoying to play at this game... I guess that it is probably a bug, so I hope that you can see what is wrong. |

Figured it out on my own WITHOUT accessing any files...
1) start launcher.
2) Log in to account and launch client for that account.
3) Windows button back to launcher.
4) Click "switch user account" link below BIG YELLOW PLAY BUTTON.
5) Log into second account and launch client for that account.

This sounds really nice, hopefully it gets done better than some of the other launchers out there. EQ2 has a nice version of this but it doesn't have separate settings per account. So basically I have to reposition the newly launched window manually. Take a look at the EQ2 launcher for an idea how they do it. It caches the credentials of all your accounts and lets you switch with a dropdown, looks like you have something started in that direction already with this new launcher :)

What if you own two computers in two different locations. One computer cannot handle EVE at max and the other can't and has brackets, etc turned off. But they would use the same account when you access it.
WHAT NOW? I BROKE YOUR CLOUD LOGIC.
Honestly, settings work for ingame things, cloud settings are absolute trash for machine dependent items. |

Having "client" servers up definitely helped the launcher to start and validate/whatever the client, so protocol error has gone. However, at least on Windows XP staring a launcher spawns 2 processes (small one and then a larger one) and neither of those two gets unloaded if you close the launcher.
Additionally new launcher seems to have defaulted the option to send the logs and usage stats to On. |

I will gladly do testing for you, you don't need to pay me that much either, because to the end user it sure as hell looks like you DID NOT even try to run this before you sent it out.
True, you have been working for 10 years, and EVE is a great game, but man, this happens almost every patch. Patch day topic has 5 workarounds already for stuff, how did you manage to miss it all?

At 59 minute mark the Client was validated and I've clicked the button to launch client. Left hand side of Launcher has cleared and the Gerbils in the processor appear to be sleeping on the job as CPU usage has flatlined. Three minutes later CPU activity is jumping up and down like a slow motion yo-yo. |

Regarding missing EVE settings: this is a bug in the initial installer of the new update that people had to upgrade from the old Launcher to the new one. The installer automatically starts the EVE Launcher after the update, but does so with what's known as a short Windows path. A short path is in the style of EVE-ON~1 or PROGRA~1. In this instance, the working directory in this short format is inherited by the EVE client which then tries to make a unique folder name based upon the directory it thinks it is in, and the server it is connecting to. This is the unique location that your settings are stored in.
Note, this folder still exists.
To work around the issue, you simply need to restart the EVE Launcher and any clients that it started. The new instance of the EVE Launcher will not have this short path, and so what would have been an (incorrect) path of c_builds_eve-on~1_tranquility is correctly interpretive as c_builds_eve-online_tranquility.
I'm currently working on a fix for this installer, when not answering forum threads, and I'm hoping to get it out as soon as I can.

ok, Dude...
I can understand punishing botters.
I can NOT understand punishing someone who PAYS and actually PLAYS more than one account.
And unless they are profiting off of it somehow, I don't see ANYONE playing 100+ accounts by themselves just to mine, and DEFINITELY not off of 1 machine.
I know players who have 20+ accounts, and they have machines that can play up to about 8 at a time.
But whining about a PLAYER who actually SITS at their computer and PLAYS 8+ accounts at once... is just whiny.
You being happy that someone who PAYS to actually PLAY this game with multiple accounts is having trouble... is just petulant.
This is a service product.
We are the customers.
We demand service.
And you being happy that a LARGE majority of the community that has purchased this product is having trouble using it...
Dude.
Botters, are no-go; we can ALL agree on that. But bashing on someone for actually PLAYING their 20 accounts when they PAY for them...
...is just lame. |

I also has the same problem and on the 3rd try it worked.
We should all know when something new comes out it will have bugs it dose not matter what it is.
Technology has bugs in it and we should live with it.
Its apart of day to day living and CCP are only human someone or something might have cause this problem.
We should not complain about little things.
We should be happy with what CCP are doing and making EVE Online Stable instead of whining and carrying on about something that can be fixed.

Regarding the slow startup time of the new EVE Launcher: the first time the new EVE Launcher starts up, it needs to determine the state of your client installation. This requires it to analyse every file in your installation. This will take some time, since the EVE client is somewhere around 12Gb in size. However, after this point, the checksums will be saved in the Launcher's cache folder. Clearing out the Launcher's cache folder will obviously delete this file, requiring you to re-analyse your installation.
If people are finding that they need to spend a lengthy amount of time analysing their installation every time they start up, I would beg them to file a bug reporting, and provide the logs that their Launcher is generating, and saving into it's cache folder.

Regarding the two processes that the EVE Launcher starts: the EVE Launcher has a bootstrapping application that loads a versioned EVE Launcher. When one of these closes, the other one should close too, however we've seen in a few instances one of them waits whilst it writes out pending buffers to disk.
If launcher.exe processes are regularly hanging on shutdown, as above, I would beg for people to file a bug report and attach logs of the problem.

Why was the even released when all the forum threads about it said it wan't READY?, further more it not Multi Account Friendly at all. Lucky for me I can still direct launcher the EveFile.exe. This is almost making me what to cancele my accounts. |

I use multiple toons every day, the new launcher takes longer to verify client status, and disapeers on launching. i am disaponted by the lack of the old launchers ease of use for multiple toons, note it did do the no connection error, and is now working. the sso widow disapeered and when i relaunched it it took the same amount of time to check. can you make it so it will you know, not disapeer or so you can launch multaple acounts at once?
edit: after launching eve for reals it verifies it fine. but no longer lets me drag and drop a .gif for it to play :( i know it wasn't meant for that, but could you add something to let players make it their own? and image you save locally for it to display or something? so i can play with it, i like to make everything my own in some fashion. besides, the eve .gifs you'd get lol :) |

Regarding usernames not being remembered by the login dialog: I ran across an issue earlier today where if I entered a new username whilst the dropdown dialog was open, with another name highlighted, when I tabbed on to the password field, the highlighted name in the dropdown took priority. I filed this as a defect and I'm hopeful that we can push out a fix for it as soon as possible.
Any other usability issues or defects with the username/password input I would like to hear about. If they're defects, a bug report would be best, but I'm happy to have a dialog about the design and intent of the site.

I can't believe such a buggy and borked launcher was launched....
Fix your **** before you release it please.
Now for the reason I'm posting....
I can't currently log on the game...
On my mac version I got errors all day (at work), and now that I'm home and got a new launcher, spent 20 min validating logged in had no settings.....
Restarted the game and launcher per above.... spent another 20 minutes validating...., hit play.... and the play button disappeared once I pushed it, but no EVE game client loaded...
Reloaded the launcher and now its validating again.
What is it validating?
How do you launch buggy stuff like this? |

I assume that this was actually necessary for some reason, but from my perspective it benefits me about as much as a real money auction house did in Diablo3: ie not benefit at all.
I don't like advertising spam and turning the launcher into a marketing mechanism is a massive turn off. I don't like having to be patient waiting just to log into a game I've paid to play. I don't want to watch EVE TV because I'm capable of making my own. I don't like that the EULA is now something I have to hunt for after a one shot read though in a tiny window. Look at the thing - it's a mess and nowhere near as adept at providing important information as the old launcher.
From a users perspective the old "keep it simple" approach was the most sensible and acceptable barrier to gameplay. New launcher is a much bigger barrier to gameplay - a bad move in my opinion.
Sorry I've nothing positive to say after what you guys have been through getting the thing to work. |

Also, in case it needs reiterating, we really need the detailed logs that the Launcher writes out to it's cache folder to be able to help diagnose what's gone wrong in the situations where people are still failing to log in/update/patch or whatever. Please, please, please file a bug report and attach the logs.

CCP Atropos wrote:To expand on this point, there are a number of exotic setups for multiboxing involving either multiple physical installs of the game, hybrid symlinks, junctions, soft links, hard links, partial copies and more. And in almost every single case people multi box for one reason: to be able to have individual setups for their settings, or to hasten the login flow. The deployment today, as difficult and bad as it was (for which I apologise) was to deploy the single sign on service, through which we can start to work on these issues. My hope is that in the end, you will be able to log into the EVE Launcher once, which downloads your settings from the cloud, with all of your accounts linked, via either a single EVE master account or via some other OAuth provider, and be able to select characters and switch between them at the click of a single button.
I guess I'm in this group, Hard Symbolic Links to have each client have it own setting. Which make log in a breeze, allowing each Eve Client to have it own monitor settings.
I don't like the idea of a "Master Account", Hacking and entire account stealing would become more of an issue than it is now.
As for "Cloud Setting" that best kept to the in game stuff and nothing to do with Video or Sound Settings.

CCP Atropos wrote:Regarding the slow startup time of the new EVE Launcher: the first time the new EVE Launcher starts up, it needs to determine the state of your client installation. This requires it to analyse every file in your installation. This will take some time, since the EVE client is somewhere around 12Gb in size. However, after this point, the checksums will be saved in the Launcher's cache folder. Clearing out the Launcher's cache folder will obviously delete this file, requiring you to re-analyse your installation.
If people are finding that they need to spend a lengthy amount of time analysing their installation every time they start up, I would beg them to file a bug reporting, and provide the logs that their Launcher is generating, and saving into it's cache folder.
It took an hour to validate the client and hopefully the checksums have been saved to cache. At the 30 minute mark after hitting the button to start the client launch/login I have the two instances of launcher.exe but no CPU usage, I/O at a slow virtually non-existent dribble, etc. At what point do I declare this puppy dead? |

So, the purpose of the new launcher is to utilize your fancy new Single Sign On protocol. As I understand it, that means once I log on, I am logged on to all of Eve's various subsections.
Can you please tell me why I had to log onto the forums to post this? Isn't the whole purpose of this fancy new advertising tool... er launcher... to sign me on to all of Eve?
You broke something that worked to upgrade it to use a new feature, and it doesn't even do that.

12, I have 28 chars. Most are lab rats/factory monkeys. I normally play with 3 or 4 accounts at the same time, up to 9 max. I have come across people who have more accounts than me. 20 is the highest I remember. Some of these are from people who make a living out of training up chars or are heavy industry like me. |

I'm not sure if this is a technical limitation, but the only way in which the new launcher would actually make it faster for me to launch multiple clients than it was before would be if it were possible to launch another client that you've signed in while a client is launching. This is pretty terrible to explain, so I'll do a FORUMDIAGRAM(tm)

^^^^ This is where it gets slow - I can log in faster than the launcher will let me launch clients. I really don't want to sit through this if I need to log in a cyno chain quickly and from what I can tell, you want to remove the login screen, so going through ExeFile.exe won't work around this for long. |

when i saw the new launcher on the test server i thought " this cannot be the finished product, doesnt even have a play button." but i get over it and get used to dealing with it. (even though you somehow managed to make the log in process worse, which i didnt think was possible) but now you managed to roll out this broken launcher early for what exactly? what will be different when i log in tomorrow? nothing at all of course besides all the settings i need to redo. so in half a day you managed to lock out players due to this broken launcher, and the ones that could log in just lost all those settings. i just simply dont understand the point of all this nonsense. ccp please explain |

So, it's probably been said multiple times, but I'll say it again for folks that don't want to read 96 pages of people whining because CCP pushed out a ******, useless, new feature that ****** everything up.
Go to your game folder, and navigate to the Bin folder, and launch from Exefile in that folder. Bypasses the shitastic launcher completely.
Example; C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin is the folder for me. Exefile is my new shortcut I use to launch the game, and I'm cruising just fine now :) |

That is some PR censored garbage if I ever read any. Tell me, just what exactly are the priorities for Eve, or do they not tell you that? Even if the launcher worked, all it is is a billboard to advertise to people WHO ALREADY GIVE YOU MONEY, any claims of added functionality is a thinly veiled lie. The only reason you would make a launcher like this is if you're already planning to try to roll out microtransactions yet again and pay to win as per the Dust model.
You say you as a company have changing priorities, and it is apparent that the priority has shifted away from making the best space sandbox imaginable, to making a fuckton of money off of 12 year old newfags, to put it candidly. |

concerning this launch I thoguht it was a bad idea to begin with. The only think i liked was that it made accessing the updates and newest ccp posts easier to find.
I run 6 accounts as of right now and it totally DEFUNKED this toons settings witht the new launcher i had to reset everything all my defaults. WHICH IS BS! It's an update no a patch so things should change drastically like that. It also makes it very difficult to turn all my accounts on so i can go mine/mission. Im a care bear its what i do. And you just made it harder for me to do it. roll the launcher back and im sure a lot of people will shut up. |

A. I lost all my logins, (multiple accounts) . I had them written down so not huge at first, but then I start logging in characters only to find all settings reverted,
B. all chats gone.
C. audio, graphic and that clusterfrack station environment all at max and on. One of my PCs had a panic attack from the resource starvation this caused. Ok its a piece of junk, but still.
D. All characters are in this state, thanks for letting me play organizer today, I really had that planned! sarcasm off.

In my case not quite true, I have an hour of file validations, followed by two lines of 'client validation plus SetClientUpToDate set True. The last line of the log file has Sending the following JavaScript code to the browser setPlayButtonEnabled 'Client is ready'. No further log entries for the next hour after trying to login. Log submitted in bug report but I suspect more log information is required. There was mention that there had been an update to instructions but I didn't see a link on the posting that said there had been an update/correction.

Since a picture is worth a thousand words, I had the idea that the current state of CCP could best be expressed as a Meme. It seems they are more interested in pleasing their masters at Sony than pleasing the thousands of customers that made them worthy of Sony consideration. As I racked my brain to remember a meme that would show CCP's borked strategies and Sony's mastery over them, I remembered a meme that was popular in my nullsec days. During the latest war in the South, there was a fairly popular meme. I redid it some, and believe it shows the current state of Eve, CCP and Sony rather well.

These are not words you say to people who payed money for a working game. These words are the ones you tell the testers so that by the time it gets to us people paying money, it runs smooth and we don't have to check forums, file reports or attach logs.

Edit: Want more evidence? Look at some of the recent UI changes that didn't need to happen. They changed the names of missles and prop mods for no reason, they've rolled out major skill overhauls several times and are about to again, they're making it easier to make babysitting cap alts, and they keep making pvp more cookiecutter by being EFT warriors, they even tried taking away ship spinning, and when that didn't work they changed the hangar. Now they're making the game itself work more like every other game, and introducing a console shooter (a market dominated by minors and people generally deemed undesirable to the Eve community).
We as Eve players have always prided ourselves on some level for being ahead and above the rest of the gaming community in intellect, competence, and maturity; these changes only detract from that, making Eve easier by giving it the nerf treatment under the guise of 'accessibility to new players'.
All of that would even be fine if for the fact that it didn't detract from Eve's bread and butter, being internet spaceships, which it clearly has. The past few expansions and patches have had little to no new content, and were merely filled with recycled and regurgitated content, thus making it obvious that overhead is being shifted away from Eve development.
Given all of this evidence, the only conclusions one can draw is that CCP no longer cares about Eve as much as they should, if at all (at best), or that they're about to scrap the subscription model and go all out with the selling of pay to win and bunny hats in a free game (at worst, and vastly more profitable in the short term).

I can see why you wanted to switch to this format. You have a lot of information on the launcher, which isn't getting used. While I like the old login screen, this one does make sense to getting information to people in an easier format.
Three suggestions though to make it a bit more pleasing.
- Can you allow the ability for us to select what character on the account we want to log in? I'm sure this is something suggested already but it would be nice to do regardless. Other games I've played would save the character name with the account name after you logged in the first time. Besides biomassing my pilots, there really is no point in that screen is there?
- Can you put the login art on the launcher? I'm sure the artist that made the new velator is happy but the new screen seems a bit busy. I know you have art for Odyssey. Why not show that?
- The location of the login text is a bit out of place to me. Perhaps not to others but shouldn't it be at the bottom center or perhaps right side? The location seems weird to me.
Anywho, works fine now after the patch. Thanks!

I'll keep it simple. New launcher is a piece of ****.
Perks to the old launcher included being able to turn the goddamned thing off when I'm not patching and it only taking afew seconds to authenticate.
The current launcher possesses neither of these features. I'm waiting more than a minute for it to finish authenticating and then I have to choose to play the account I just ******* logged into?
This is not an upgrade, it's just a piece of ****. I don't mind getting new features, but I don't like getting a new, more annoying spin on an old feature. |

You realize when you hit the log off button it completely closes the client and just launches a new one, right?

Never change. Troll rating 2/10.
My simple expectations:
1) Patches should be announced so that we can prepare our skill queues, etc.
2) Patches -- no matter what they do -- should be tested well enough to not create wide-spread service disruption.
3) Patches should not require EVE subscribers to have to either dig into program directories and manually launch an executable or the acquisition of assets by a 3rd party developer just to create a workaround to the problem at-hand.
Do you find these expectations unreasonable?

Yeah, as far as people having aneurysms about the new launcher, it's not all that bad - the only problem is the increased wait time on starting multiple clients (I guess I'll also lament the death of the login screen graphics, but they're not exactly crucial).
Also to the dumpsterbabby saying that people should flood petitions, you should probably think about what you're telling people to do before you go running your mouth. Dumping this on the plate of customer support is ridiculous. |

A few comments:
1) Using the new launcher reset my settings. As a programmer, I can't see any practical reason why this has to happen, when it would be simple enough to code a routine to automatically save the player's current settings and then restore them, after any necessary upgrades/changes. As it stands now, this auto-reset behavior just tends to generate unnecessary player rage.
2) The new launcher seems to be a memory pig, esp. given what it does. It chews up about 80Mbytes when it starts up and then continues to slowly chew up additional memory while it is open (possible memory leak?). After about 5-10 minutes of sitting idle, its usage has already gone up to 86Mbytes.
3) Is there really any in-game reason to keep this app running, after it has launched the EVE client? If not, then the default behavior should be to close it automatically, after the client has been successfully launched. Players who want to keep it open, for some reason, should have an option to do so, ofc.
4) Currently, I start up EVE via the launcher, wait for the client to start, minimize the client, close the launcher, and then maximize the client again to play the game. Not exactly the smoothest start-up sequence I've seen for any app. |

Additionally, CCP's customer service management needs to have a candid talk with the Quality Assurance and Project managers tasked with releasing this steaming pile of a project.
Those departments put Customer Service dead center in the sights of CCP's entire EVE subscriber base. In my book, that's called ******* over your colleagues all for the sake of making an artificial deadline.

Hey, forum warriors!
I didn't have the courage of reading through the 99 other pages of this MONSTER thread, so, here goes...
I did the repair, I did whatever they say here, but it still doesn't work for me. When I start the game, it starts the launcher and it just hangs without displaying anything; there is just the title bar up top (displaying "EVE Online Launcher v2.1.539169"), and I need to force-close it because nothing ever happens.
Anybody has got a solution for this? |

Here it is 1905 PST and still nothing..............I have been waiting all day. The least CCP can do when they update the client is test it..................... |

I'm sure this has been asked. I was originally using the listed method of Junctions.
http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Multiple_clients#Method_1_-_Junctions
Seems it now keeps showing up with the universal (Login here) stuff. Long as I set the launcher to shut down once i am on, it seems to be "Ok".
In addition, I thought I'd be able to launch the client multiple times for multiple accounts from just 1 launcher, but I have no method to delinating which screen the account launches to (I log on account 1, it goes to screen 1, I launch account 2, it goes to screen 1, I set account 2 to screen 2, log off, log on, account 2 goes to screen 2, account 1 goes to screen 2).
:-/ Apparently no one actually REALLY tested this account login method, as everybody was rushing to go Play with new ships. |

I see what you did there CCP. Release a terrible and borken new launcher, then fix it a day later so people dont realise that its just a clunker and more intrusive version of the old launcher with more clicks, less intuition, no multi-screen support and now has to be closed down manually OR loaded twice for running 2 clients.
Absolute waste of everyones time. Not a single feature added, well, we know CCP counts extra mouse clicks as features.
I for one cant wait for DUST to fail, then they either get back to spending what little they have left on EVE, or i get to chuckle to myself as all CCP staff start looking for other jobs in iceland. |

What's with programmers spawning threads to handle IO operations? Hasn't this been considered bad for the past decade? I would recommend using call-backs, EPoll or KQueue. Most of the time, a single thread can handle hundreds of connections while pushing 1Gb. |

Installed new launcher today.
Worked like a charm.
Totally loved it.
CCP should've mentioned that people will need to adjust firewalls, this thread would be WAY shorter.
Still few issues, like i see ESRB note constantly trying to pop back every few seconds (after it faded out). Also it does not remembers my username anymore (sad lazy face). Also RIP logoff button, i kinda loved that, also "safe logoff" button shows option to restart client which does nothing.
Other than that, nothing really ground breaking (like that inventory update last year ). |

Ugh, so many people here who can't read.
Lost your settings? Close all instances of the launcher and of EVE and open them again.
Taking too long to log in multiple characters? Don't use the launcher then. Make a shortcut to exefile.exe directly, or even better use one of the solutions posted in this thread for creating junctions.

That is some PR censored garbage if I ever read any. Tell me, just what exactly are the priorities for Eve, or do they not tell you that? Even if the launcher worked, all it is is a billboard to advertise to people WHO ALREADY GIVE YOU MONEY, any claims of added functionality is a thinly veiled lie. The only reason you would make a launcher like this is if you're already planning to try to roll out microtransactions yet again and pay to win as per the Dust model.
You say you as a company have changing priorities, and it is apparent that the priority has shifted away from making the best space sandbox imaginable, to making a fuckton of money off of 12 year old newfags, to put it candidly.
Edit: Want more evidence? Look at some of the recent UI changes that didn't need to happen. They changed the names of missles and prop mods for no reason, they've rolled out major skill overhauls several times and are about to again, they're making it easier to make babysitting cap alts, and they keep making pvp more cookiecutter by being EFT warriors, they even tried taking away ship spinning, and when that didn't work they changed the hangar. Now they're making the game itself work more like every other game, and introducing a console shooter (a market dominated by minors and people generally deemed undesirable to the Eve community).
We as Eve players have always prided ourselves on some level for being ahead and above the rest of the gaming community in intellect, competence, and maturity; these changes only detract from that, making Eve easier by giving it the nerf treatment under the guise of 'accessibility to new players'.
All of that would even be fine if for the fact that it didn't detract from Eve's bread and butter, being internet spaceships, which it clearly has. The past few expansions and patches have had little to no new content, and were merely filled with recycled and regurgitated content, thus making it obvious that overhead is being shifted away from Eve development.
Given all of this evidence, the only conclusions one can draw is that CCP no longer cares about Eve as much as they should, if at all (at best), or that they're about to scrap the subscription model and go all out with the selling of pay to win and bunny hats in a free game (at worst, and vastly more profitable in the short term).
agree with everything but the bashing on dust. not a great deal of kids in there. most of us in there are those that grew up on the old consoles, the original playstation, NES, N64, ect. we came to DUST in the hope of a more complex FPS. that obviously isn't what it is right now sadly, just a cash cow for CCP

World of Tank launcher - 36Mb memory footprint, disappears completely afterwards.
Fast, no nonsense.
CCP Eve launcher - 124MB memory footprint + 7MB bootstrap, becomes an undead at 107MB after you manually kill it.
It is also slow and feels laggy.
Need I say more?
The fact that you need to run a bootstrap program to get the launcher working is what we call an over-engineered solution that will be prone to breaking.
In other words, your launcher has will have so many process weak spots that you can pretty much throw robustness out of the window. |

Now I can't log in, play, or do anything else.......Except lose profit cause I cant mine..........Im busy living in reality because CCP couldn't test a program before releasing it.......I noticed they took the pissed off or mad as hell face from the list of faces. |

To expand on this point, there are a number of exotic setups for multiboxing involving either multiple physical installs of the game, hybrid symlinks, junctions, soft links, hard links, partial copies and more. And in almost every single case people multi box for one reason: to be able to have individual setups for their settings, or to hasten the login flow. The deployment today, as difficult and bad as it was (for which I apologise) was to deploy the single sign on service, through which we can start to work on these issues. My hope is that in the end, you will be able to log into the EVE Launcher once, which downloads your settings from the cloud, with all of your accounts linked, via either a single EVE master account or via some other OAuth provider, and be able to select characters and switch between them at the click of a single button.
This solution may be fine for some cases. The main advantage of using multiple installs/junctions etc. is to maintain independent settings on a per-client basis, not per-account.
For example, I have a main install and a junction of that install. The main install is setup to run with high graphics settings, the junction at minimal. This allows me to quickly and easily choose the level of graphical fidelity I wish to use for that client according to my needs at that particular time, which usually depends on the number of accounts and duration of their use.
Please detail how I would be able to perform such a choice of multiple sets of client settings for each account under the new/proposed single sign-on with cloud settings.
In addition, how would cloud settings affect the use of clients on multiple computers? Exchange the junction client in my example above with a client on a laptop which barely runs Eve even at minimal settings. |

I have like 20 accounts. I will use the ExeFile as long as it works. For now I wonGÇÖt spend time trying to figure out the best way to log in multiple accounts using the new launcher. However, I would like to let you know how I used to log in multiple accounts with the old launcher:
I have a separate junction for each account. On my desktop I have a separate link to each junction named after the respective account name. When I wanted to start letGÇÖs say 5 clients I clicked the 5 respective links. The launcher was configured to automatically start the client and close the launcher. If no update was available clicking the 5 links opened 5 clients in window mode with the correct account names already selected. While the clients were loading (takes about 5 seconds because of my SSD) I moved the windows into the correct positions. I then proceeded to enter the password and to press enter in each client. When I finished entering the password in the fifth account the first account finished loading the character selection screen. Finally I logged in the characters.
In short: click 5 links, move 5 windows, enter 5 passwords and press enter, click on five character portraits.
Important facts: The old log in procedure doesnGÇÖt require me to wait for a loading bar at any point, it doesnGÇÖt require me to enter or select anything but the password and it allows me to have a separate settings folder for each client.

You can do exactly the same thing now, except instead of having the junction point to the launcher, just have it point directly to exefile.exe. If there's an update the client will say incompatible protocol, so you'll have to run the launcher to update, but after that you can use the exefile.

Major regression. When we say we want to switch characters without having to log in again, we were generally envisioning the "Log Off" button returning us to the character select screen, not this SSO BS which makes it take EVEN LONGER to switch characters on the same account, much less F-ing over any sort of multi-boxing setup.
Your best move here is to rewind the launcher to what you had. |

CCP Atropos wrote:Regarding missing EVE settings: this is a bug in the initial installer of the new update that people had to upgrade from the old Launcher to the new one. The installer automatically starts the EVE Launcher after the update, but does so with what's known as a short Windows path. A short path is in the style of EVE-ON~1 or PROGRA~1. In this instance, the working directory in this short format is inherited by the EVE client which then tries to make a unique folder name based upon the directory it thinks it is in, and the server it is connecting to. This is the unique location that your settings are stored in.
Note, this folder still exists.
To work around the issue, you simply need to restart the EVE Launcher and any clients that it started. The new instance of the EVE Launcher will not have this short path, and so what would have been an (incorrect) path of c_builds_eve-on~1_tranquility is correctly interpreted as c_builds_eve-online_tranquility.
I'm currently working on a fix for this installer, when not answering forum threads, and I'm hoping to get it out as soon as I can.
This needs to be in a sticky somewhere right on the splash screen. Not hidden in the middle of a feedback thread. |

I was able to get my settings back!
in Windows 7 I went to C:\Users\[name]\Appdata\Local\CCP\EVE
then noticed the launcher created a NEW Tranquility folder titled Tranquility_1
so I went into my old Tranquility folder and then into Settings folder then copied everything in there
then I went into the NEW Tranquility_1 folder and into it's settings folder and pasted the file from the original Tranq folder.
I click yes to replace
then once I launched eve my settings were back to normal.
Luckily the patcher worked for me it just seemed to erase my settings, overview, chat, etc. But I was able to get them back by manually copying from the old Tranq folder in the above location and overwriting the new settings in the new folder the new launcher created.
Maybe that will help some get their settings back. |

Dear CCP,
you may claim to have fixed this issue but in fact it is not fixed for all users. Probebly only those running widows can use your client, but those running linux sure a shell can nnot run the game trough the launcher becouse the login part of the launcher simply does not show and stays blank.
It would be nice to know what resources you are using now, that you have not used before (like specialised fonts) so we can install these to get the game working we pay you so dearly for.
Telling linux users to use windows will get lots of laughter, but yeah..... |

I normally play with 3 or 4 accounts at the same time, up to 9 max. I have come across people who have more accounts than me. 20 is the highest I remember. Some of these are from people who make a living out of training up chars or are heavy industry like me.
There was a guy in alliance who had 45. And someone got 100 accounts for ice mining. So the record is at least 100.

No, you've got the wrong approach.
With CCP, if they do a misstep, you need poke them all over with needles and torch them to ash (figuratively speaking of course) to hammer down that they need better polish and better fundamentals when releasing something. The longer they burn, the better.
That's the only way to really motivate them.
Historically and now.
P.S I'm not a bad guy tbh, just more pragmatic

Just restarted EVE Client...
Launcher re-updated, was offline, restarted, "worked"....
STILL!!! This bugdate killed all my settings. overviews, and so on on all my accounts. Restarting any crappy CCP software fixed nothing.
Logging alt chars in is ****** painful, as the CCP masterminds aren't aware, that one ir two players have more than one account...
CCP! Congratulations, u messed up more than ever...
Hopefully, someone responsible for outsourcing reads this thread.... |

I could be wrong, but the ssoToken appears to just be a parameter passed to the client to let it know what account is being used and to bypass the login screen. If the client doesn't receive an ssoToken it will simply show the login screen and you can log in normally.

Failure 1: Inability to update the launcher while an up-to-date EVE client is running.
Failure 2: Losing settings (yet again) by screwing up the directory name.
Failure 3: Launcher "verifies" EVE is ok..... EVE client fails with "Verification failure. Your EVE client installation may have modified...." -- this is with 2 clients already running
Failure 4: EULA present as paragraphless wall-of-text. EULA presented because of setting screwup (see 2)
Failure 5: Slowness switching to and loading secondary clients.
Failure 6: Launcher fails to exit cleanly, needing to force close via the task manager.
...
Meta-Failure: Releasing this while ignoring most of these same issue being mentioned from the test server folks.... |

Shut the hell up.
We pay to play, at least i do. I have a reasonable expectation that the programs on the server will work.
As for being part of a large corporation that releases software, yes I have. Sun Microsystems and Legal & General UK. And for the years I work at both we never had to tell our customers / clients not to complain so much about our products. Then again we actually tested our software, knew issues and difficulties our clients would have and implemented solutions and work arounds before launch.
In short we were not a bunch of mindless pratts, pushing crap to live environments in order to justify our existence. |

you may claim to have fixed this issue but in fact it is not fixed for all users. Probebly only those running widows can use your client, but those running linux sure a shell can nnot run the game trough the launcher becouse the login part of the launcher simply does not show and stays blank.
It would be nice to know what resources you are using now, that you have not used before (like specialised fonts) so we can install these to get the game working we pay you so dearly for.
Telling linux users to use windows will get lots of laughter, but yeah.....
I run windows and launcher simply does not work. The only time I got ingame today I had to restart my pc over and over and finally it worked (once and only once). I got logged out and now it is impossibl e to login.

Ok, at first I was all arghhhhhhh about lost settings. But this has happened before (and will probably happen again). So I did what worked previous times. That is log off, close launcher, reopen launcher, wait for game to reload data again, log on again, and for whatever reason there are all my settings and overview etc back again.
CCP you should put a big message on the launcher telling us not to panic and rage, but to do the above and see if our settings reappear. It would save you and us a lot of moaning and gnashing of teeth.
Still not sure why you want this new launcher. It seems slower than the old one. But as long as a patch like this doesn't permanently delete my settings, boot.ini, or fry my video card all is forgiven. |

Let's see...
It's more work to log in multiple accounts. Maybe I will get faster at it over time?
I've lost all my chat channels. Didn't think to have them written down.
I've lost all my IGB bookmarks. Didn't have those saved either.
I lost my Marketplace quickbar saved searches.
I'm afraid to log in any more accounts. Better to leave them and hope this gets fixed before I run out of training queue on them.
I feel like the new launcher was designed by someone who had one account. |

Sucks, but still signed.
Although, if I got my car back from the shop, claiming they fixed the starter and I'd simply had to crawl under the engineto flip a switch - be sure I would tell them. Because that's how CCP fixed the launcher. |

I certainly hope that "login flow" is something that is still being planned for a (near) future release, because the current system is decidedly ponderous.
For the old system launching my 3 clients was entirely painless.
*click quick launch shortcut
* type in password
*press enter
**repeat 2 more times as quickly as I can press keys
Now with the SSO it's
*launch the launcher
*give focus to the password box
*type password
*press enter
*wait for (quick) pageload
*click play
*click switch user
*wait for pageload
*select new login
**repeat 2 more times in serial, waiting for each pageload |

For what it's worth...
Tried updating last night...fails all over. I read the forum and tried some of the fixes posted in a couple of them but none worked. Felt the rage from many people and in some cases it seemed to be justified but others were decidedly whiny. I realized quickly that there was not much I could do, so shut it all down and, like a bad hangover, slept on it.
This morning, tried again and everything went smoothly (if you consider molassas smooth), at least from process perspective. Restarted the new launcher to recover the settings and everything was fine.
Despite my success, I very disappointed in this poor release. Something went seriously wrong in the preparation for this debacle and the result is a painfully slow launcher on my one account. While it might be necessary behind the scenes, the one part I care about is the one I see, and this is not an improvement.
Nice try, but not good enough this time, I think. |

Seems to be a bit of a limitation with the new launcher.. It only remembers a limited number of accounts (5 seems to be the limit). It doesn't matter how many times I login my other chars they are not remembered.. This new launcher seems to be somewhat of a step backwards. . I don't know many people a single account, which the new launcher would be great for. Most have multiple accounts and this launcher just makes logging in and switching accounts very tedious .
NB; Also just found by accident, I can log the same char in twice. I currently have 2 instances of the same character open.. I am closing the 2nd now as I don't know how this could mess other things up.

* It's slow (seriously, you can see it render the background image on my fancy laptop)
* It's annoying (multiboxing 3 chars means you have 6 windows open during launching, why not close the launcher the moment you click launch?)
* It fubar'd my settings (though bypassing it by launching ExeFile takes care of that)
* It's got a boatload of stuff I don't need (WTF would I want a YouTube client in my launcher for? That's just wasted time for me)
Launching ExeFile directly takes care of most of that, so as long as that works I'm good. But I really don't see how this could be an improvement, it really isn't, at least not for me. |

I'm having no Issue with the new Launcher, I really apreciated it! way better then the last one!
Although, there is a thing that bothers me since the last one, can I have an option in the Launcher to lauch eve and as soon as it pops up, it gets MAXIMIZED? I play it in windows mode, (not fullscreen, so I can see other programs, work and people calling me in chats, TS, Skype, Facebook) but I like it covering 99% of my screen, so I set it to maximized, but every time I start the clien it goes back to the normal window size.
Is there a way to add it? Please? It is just one extra click to me, but it makes somewhat difference...

2. User names don't seem to even save - I'm guessing they are meant to as you have a drop down box arrow.
3. I'll be changing all my shortcuts to the bin/ExeFile.exe until this is more streamlined for people with multiple accounts and have passwords that are not easy to remember (headbutt keyboard in notepad is a good way of making a random password). |

Hi there,
Have two issues after the system started working this morning.
1) All my settings have gone - I even got the intro movie when I first went in. Everything on all 4 accounts is back to "Clean Install" settings - I have my overlay saved though! But all my windows are reset - all key bindings gone.
2) Exiting the game client leaves the Gamma of the screen the client was running on set dark. So if I run the main client on my left monitor, after I exit the left monitor is really dark.
Otherwise it's the new launcher!
Cheers

Not sure if this has been posted on the forum yet - If it has I had a hard time finding it because of all the rage going on :)
Like many others I had my settings cleared by the new launcher but, on close inspection things werent as bad as they first appeared. I always backup my settings folder every so often anyhow (because ccp). And when I went to restore the settings after the launcher randomly removed them this morning I discovered something interesting.
Normally my settings are located in the following folder (windows 7 x64 - your mileage may vary)
C:\Users\[My Windows Username]\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_(x86)_ccp_eve_tranquility\settings
However the new launcher seems to have created a new folder / settings under:
C:\Users\{My Windows Username\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_progra~2_ccp_eve_tranquility\settings
Copying all the files from the first folder to the second restored my settings. Good old ccp, I didnt think anyone used the old style 8.3 paths for anything anymore.. Oh well, hope that helps someone! |

I was using the launcher up until now .... well done CCP you just made me want to use the eve exe to launch my game. Maybe you should think a little before changing stuff as the majority of players use more than 1 account and this launcher makes that a lot slower and more difficult. Until I can launch multiple accounts from it through SSO I wont be using this.
And well done on screwing up my settings yet again. Yes I am aware there is a work around but the point is I shouldnt have to use one. Bad design is still bad design. Regards

You know what was great, worked well and wasnt broken in any way. The old log in screen. It had excellent music, nice animated backgrounds and really got you in the mood for the game.
You know whats clunky, boring, unnatractive and dosent do the job well. The new launcher. I dont understand why you felt the need to make the changes to a fully functional and enjoyable part of the game that was harming absolutely no body.
New CSM this is your chance to shine and represent your player base.

Just a helpful (I hope) reminder for people: You don't have to use the launcher at all (except to update when there's a patch release). Create shortcuts to the ExeFile.exe file which resides in the "bin" folder inside your EVE folder (If you installed to the default, it is one of these: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/EVE_default_directories ) and run these instead. This way I was able to preserve my overview settings, chat channels and avoid the clunky logging in of multiple accounts that has been a staple "feature" of this launcher.
As for CCP stating that this is to create an improvement further down the road: Half-completed features do not make for improvement. Unhappy customers do not make for an improvement. Not listening to test server feedback does not make for an improvement. For the love of Cthulhu, stop making what are effectively rookie mistakes.
I love your game, stop punishing me for it. |

CCP Atropos wrote:Regarding the two processes that the EVE Launcher starts: the EVE Launcher has a bootstrapping application that loads a versioned EVE Launcher. When one of these closes, the other one should close too, however we've seen in a few instances one of them waits whilst it writes out pending buffers to disk.
If launcher.exe processes are regularly hanging on shutdown, as above, I would beg for people to file a bug report and attach logs of the problem. They don't close. Neither of them. What's worse, whenever I close the EvE client and start the launcher again it creates two new processes (for a new total of four) and then does noting whatsoever. I can repeat that process again and again, the only solution is to kill the launcher processes by by hand in the Task Manager.
Shortcuts have been made to .../EvE/bin/exe.exe and will stay that way for the foreseeable future. Because there is this other horrible thing about the launcher: it doesn't remember what client goes to what screen. Having two monitors both having a different size, settings of my accounts differ widely on the different screen sizes. That is also a reason why putting settings in 'the cloud' (horrible IT flavour of the month!) will not work for me. At all!
Here I used to have a sig of our old Camper in space. Now it is disregarded as being the wrong format.
Looking out the window I see one thing: Nothing wrong with the format of our Camper! Silly CCP......

They aren't. Make junctions for the alts and create shortcuts directly to ExeFile.exe and don't use the launcher. Works for me.
Granted, it's a PITA that we have to set this up, but it works and as a bonus, you get back the beautiful start screen with the great music and you don't have to see the crappy launcher (except to update the client when they release a new version). |

1) Using the new launcher reset my settings. As a programmer, I can't see any practical reason why this has to happen, when it would be simple enough to code a routine to automatically save the player's current settings and then restore them, after any necessary upgrades/changes. As it stands now, this auto-reset behavior just tends to generate unnecessary player rage.
2) The new launcher seems to be a memory pig, esp. given what it does. It chews up about 80Mbytes when it starts up and then continues to slowly chew up additional memory while it is open (possible memory leak?). After about 5-10 minutes of sitting idle, its usage has already gone up to 86Mbytes.
3) Is there really any in-game reason to keep this app running, after it has launched the EVE client? If not, then the default behavior should be to close it automatically, after the client has been successfully launched. Players who want to keep it open, for some reason, should have an option to do so, ofc.
4) Currently, I start up EVE via the launcher, wait for the client to start, minimize the client, close the launcher, and then maximize the client again to play the game. Not exactly the smoothest start-up sequence I've seen for any app.
start launcher>go to settings>startup> close launcher after eve has launched (something in that order) |

Also need a "play intro music" button for those who need it before they can play.

Oh my, the threadnaught. I was lucky to not have time to start EVE for most of yesterday, so I missed it all and am horribly relaxed about it.
But, it was the next embarassment related to the launcher. Things are not going great for this particular piece of software.
Cevin North wrote:Dear CCP,
you may claim to have fixed this issue but in fact it is not fixed for all users. Probebly only those running widows can use your client, but those running linux sure a shell can nnot run the game trough the launcher becouse the login part of the launcher simply does not show and stays blank.
It would be nice to know what resources you are using now, that you have not used before (like specialised fonts) so we can install these to get the game working we pay you so dearly for.
Telling linux users to use windows will get lots of laughter, but yeah.....
Uhm, Linux is unsupported? I'm sure they'll fix it for you eventually, but if you decide to use an unsupported OS, you decide to have such problems every now and then.

Spent a few hours just before the patch updating my market Quickbar, It's very important to me. Is it possible to get it back? If it helps I made a duplicate of the EVE folder just before the patch because I was thinking of joining the test server. Does this mean I may have made a backup of the quickbar?
Also please bring back the "Log Off" button. (And if you want to get on our good side have it just go to the character selection screen rather than re-starting EVE entirely.)

On a super serious note now is the time to contact your chosen CSM. This is what they were elected for and if you did vote this is one of the reasons your vote was cast. Find the name of the CSM you have the closest connection with, sit down and write them a nice eve mail explaining why you are unhappy with the situation and ask them to use their channels to talk directly to CCP about the issues.
Make use of the fantastic system you have avaialble to you, it will take you 5 minutes to write an eve mail, 100 eve mails in your inbox is definately a motivator to sort something out.

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.
most current multiboxers use what we had and actually got it down to an art over the last 10 years(8 for me) breaking our game and not taking feedback is just bad

Wow CCP, 105 pages of rage because you borked up a feature that wasn't even a part of the main game? Please get this fixed immediately, because it is completely unacceptable; especially after people testing on Sisi told you it wasn't ready but you went ahead and released it anyways, because you know what's best, right? Don't be singing your own praises at Fan Fest when you can't deliver when the time comes. It's not a good look for you.
But hey, at least you don't look as bad as Microsoft right now with the Xbox One reveal. I can't help but wonder if that was intentional.

Just when I was finally starting to think CCP didn't botch patches anymore, they dump this atrocity on us.
We don't want this launcher. We don't like this launcher. It doesn't work properly, it's highly inconvenient, and it causes more problems for those of us that run multiple accounts. I currently have 9 active subscriptions, and this new launcher has increased the hassle of logging in immensely.
The point of a feature, should be that players enjoy it, or find it not bothersome enough, to actively seek work-arounds to avoid it. I don't know what was the real fault here, whether it was a lack of testing and quality control, or there was simply no input from anyone who actually uses more than one eve account at a time, but this needs to go. Taking logging in out of the client, and putting it into the launcher was a terrible idea, and NOT something we want. |

One of two things must happen:
1. Move the bar out of the QA Department.
2. Move the QA Department out of the bar.
Horrible, horrible fail with this patch. Settings are gone, overview is gone, looks and feels like a clean install. Exactly who approved rolling this out, because they need to be fired. 105 pages of complaints and we're not even 24 hours into the new patch.
As a customer, I shouldn't have to employ a "workaround" and move a folder to get my settings/overview back especially after the testers on SiSi told you folks at CCP it was bad.
I shouldn't have to search the forums to find this "workaround" to make my game work.
I should see a dev blog post to include the "workaround".
This reminds me of the screw up with Unified Inventory. You were told by the testers then it was crap and you did it anyway, and we didn't get a fix for seven months. You were also told about issues with Incarna and you failed there as well.
This is EXACTLY why I won't beta test for you guys!
Why should I spend my time testing your product, your updates, your patches ...... when problems are found and you roll out buggy software?
Long live the failure of "Unified Inventory"!

It was fine. Everything was fine. If I want to log in to your website I'LL LOG IN TO YOUR WEBSITE. If I want to play EVE Online I'll LOG IN TO EVE ONLINE!
Being able to play this game presupposes that you have a certain intelligence level and that we possess a decent amount of patience and willingness to work(learn). We are not so lazy as to want to simply log in once to be able to access both game and website. And to include this feature, which promptly breaks the launcher, forcing your customers to find elaborate ways to bypass the buggy mess... ridiculous
I've barely been playing two weeks and then this happens. With stuff like the CSM and now CPA, the rigorous testing I hear you do on Singularity before releasing updates etc. I thought CCP would be different in releasing content that was thoroughly tested... it seems I was wrong.

Maybe with the new plex for double training thing they are trying to remove multiple account alts from the game, not sure why they would do this as the amount of subscribed accounts would plummet. Really feels like somebody dropped the ball here.

Yes, that is true and it my fear as well, but at least for now that works. I do doubt they'll merge the launcher into the main EXE though, so in the end it should still be possible to run the EXE directly (unless they rely on the security token for ALL log-ins from the client).
What worries me even more is the "cloud settings" talk. Given their track record, it will break pretty much everything. The idea is great (access all your settings like overview from any machine you use to log-in), but honestly, how many people play on more than one machine that it is worth the near inevitable mess that is going to likely end up coming out of this...
Meh.
It is almost like we are dealing with two companies here: The first part is the one that works on actual spaceships and balancing. The other is the one that tries to justify its existence by making up semi-completed "features" which break more stuff than they fix. Obviously, these are different teams at work, but one would think the oversight should be identical. |

I don't get why the upgrades for CCP equal to "remove useful and comfortable features and lock the user down to the lowest common denominator".
First you remove Jukebox and dumb the whole game down in many (not so) subtle ways. OK.
Now I have to get stupid to launch 6 clients. WHY.
There was this ONE button to spam and start multiple clients and now I am supposed to resort to unsupported - and to be removed - workarounds like starting the EXEcutable.
Considering most EvE players have 2+ accounts this move is just DUMB.
At least make it so that the Username combo box lets you switch between the various users instead of locking in "tard mode" and only show a button to start 1 client else you have to press "switch", wait, then it shows the choice again.
Second, it's now a lot of time that the new launcher is out, but it still won't invoke MY browswer to open the links. Why?
I don't want to use terrible Internet Explorer yet the launcher WILL only launch it. No option to choose Chrome or Firefox and of course Internet Explorer is not even the default browser so WHY does the launcher keep starting it?

It is almost like we are dealing with two companies here: The first part is the one that works on actual spaceships and balancing.

Obviously, these are different teams at work, but one would think the oversight should be identical.

indeed. switching between characters became pretty bothersome as i need to kill off the multiple(!) launcher processes manually and restart the launcher instead of just pressing the(now gone) "log off" button.
other than that, "the new and improved landing page" is just bloatware(especially bad on a 32bit system) and i can't see benefits to the SSO at this point. |

Can I have a version of the launcher that manages to shut down when you close it? Would also quite like a version that only spawns a single launcher process instead of the two I get.

I'm just wondering, why there is no local copy of the login form ?
You know, the bunch of file which will probably not change in a while.
I totally understand that all the ui is just web stuff, that's even smart in current ecosystem. But you have full control on what is saved on the computer. You can do all the caching you want by opening local file.

I can't connect either, I get this message instead of the nice form:

First CCP removes Jukebox, because maintaining 50 more lines of code proved to be beyond a multinational corporation capabilities.
OK we get that.
All the multi client players like me had to set the client volume to zero in order not to get hammered with a cacophony of overlapped soundracks (volume setting is global to all clients).
OK it's easy to see how it's dumb but players accepted it too.
All the multi client players who had to zero the volume, immediately lost the cool log in screen music as a consequence.

On my XP, the launcher also does not shut down correctly when closing it. You have to kill the processes (yeah, more than one) manually.
I think at this point it is pretty obvious that no QA was done regarding the new launcher. Given its crucial role in starting the game, I cannot help myself thinking that this is a bad sign in total for the software development process at CCP.
I feel kinda sorry for them. I have been playing EvE for more than 6 years now. There were some problems here and there, but, except for the boot.ini fail, the launcher fail exceeds them all in "unnecessarily stupid". EvE is a great game and I hope it stays that way.
So CCP, I hope you guys learned something from all of this and try to improve the QA and unrolling process in order to avoid more fails like these in the future. |

In general I must say that I have been positively suprised by the updates for the expansion, however this new launcher isn't perfect:
Pros:
I dont have to log in multiple times if I only use one account
Cons:
I have to log in each account with either a seperate launcher (if one can even do that) or log in -> switch account -> log in bringing me right back to where I started.
Also I will miss the GPU hogging but very cool startup screen!
Potential fixes:
1. Allow me to either log in / link all my accounts so that I can choose which to log in at the launcher
2. Or to be logged out again immediatly so that I can log in another account (this switch account step is quite annoying)
Also I had issues with the DNS server when this patch went live, my local dns did not have the proper records it seems to changing to a google dns server allowed the launcher to start normally.

Pretty sad that failure.
I don't know why you guys went down the road of changing several systems that depend on each other at the same time. I hope there was a good reason to do that since i can't see how you missed to realize the problems you could run into. It was a change after all, while that launcher is the instance that patches the client to the correct level that is able to connects to the server. The servers which you also patched at the same time as the client. So the client has to have a patch applied by the freshly patched launcher in order to connect to the server.
Usually you try to avoid such constellations, don't you. : )
edit: BTW, why does the launcher now take felt 10 times longer to finally get that client started? client validation i hardly were able to spot when starting from SSD drive. |

If you want to move the login into the launcher at least make it remember which user account the instance is related to rather than having all user accounts in the same launcher. |

The new patcher looks pretty decent. But why do you remove this awesome login screen? I am a rather new Eve player and compared with other games, Eve had the best looking Login Screen until now, next to WoW.
It was so cool :(
Doesnt it have any production value anymore?
Right now it feels as if i would log in to some random Softnyx or OGPlanet game when i use this launcher and not some incredibly space mmo.
And since i dont have that much clue of programming: What is the reasoning behind this if not money? Is it really so expensive to create such a login screen and maintain it?
I hope the login screen will come back with the upcoming update :(

I'm missing the logout button in the esc menu when in space, so when sitting in a pos it takes me 30 seconds to "log off safely" to switch to another character on that same account or I have to quit the client and start it again through this new and shiny launcher of yours -.-

This launcher is bad and you should feel bad. Who the hell thought it was fit for release?
P.S. Make the switch user account button huge, I don't want to have to try hard to hit it considering I shouldn't have to in the first place. It's the least you can do.
Things I have realized from the EvE forums:
Many people beleive cost means money and only money
If you use it then it needs a buff. -áIf you don't use it then it needs to be nerfed. |

Dear CCP
Why do you hate your paying customers so much?
Maybe you don't like our moneys after all.
Or your jobs, for that matter as the result of that.
At least allow us to re-log to alts in same account without having to close whole EVE for it. This is complete bs.
I get it that you need to try to push people into having multiple accounts, but this is wrong way to do it.
You are only angering your customers, and there is only so far you can go until we consider you equal to Ubisoft & EA.
New features are nice thing, but for gods sake, do them properly so that they won't cause extra trouble for players. Or time wasted, like this does in its current form for anyone who might want to relog to another character.

Nope, I have different account passwords for a reason, I don't want them all linked together into a single login. If somehow that single login password gets compromised (by simply being linked by SSO to numerous sites for example), I could lose everything.. Is CCP able to guarantee the security of SSO and if it fails will losses be reimbursed.
Another reason, some may have accounts they don't want linked for ingame reasons, ie; the spy you've spent 2 years infiltrating that enemy corp/alliance with.

Confirming that restarting launcher does NOT bring back old settings and to be honest its ******* annoying to have to do that on every computer I have eve on again with every account. Just some of the things that got reset that fucks my usage as a player up:
Neocom icons went to default
Overview went to default (though I did have it exported as XML so no biggie there)
Chat windows reset
auto-targeting setting went to default
Graphic settings went to default
Ughh the list is extensive, there should have been a better implementation of this new launcher to keep the settings.
Just to rant a bit here, the new launcher was ONLY released on sisi for a ******* week before you decided to shove it on TQ. Im not complaining that the launcher is a bad concept, but for fucks sake, you can NOT release something in beta format for ONLY a week and assume that since you had no issues that its ready to go live. That is the worst ******* project management I have ever seen and tbh for you CCP that is saying something.
Usually, you like to shove things on TQ before they are fully funtional. I can understand and appreciate that with expansions and patches, sometimes you NEED 60K players to interact with it to test it. However, the gripe I have here is timing. A week is NOT enough time to ******* test a new launcher out. It should have been left on sisi until Odyssey was deployed and testing could shift focus to the new launcher a week after oddy. Instead, you have now tried to test two completely different changes to the game at the same time without giving one the proper testing it needs. I ******* hope you remember that the next time you decide to go live with a beta feature only a week into testing. If DUST had taken that approach, it would have failed big time. |

If launcher.exe processes are regularly hanging on shutdown, as above, I would beg for people to file a bug report and attach logs of the problem.
Neither of these processes close for me. Even when I close Eve they continue to sit there. |

CCP Atropos wrote:Regarding the slow startup time of the new EVE Launcher: the first time the new EVE Launcher starts up, it needs to determine the state of your client installation. This requires it to analyse every file in your installation. This will take some time, since the EVE client is somewhere around 12Gb in size. However, after this point, the checksums will be saved in the Launcher's cache folder. Clearing out the Launcher's cache folder will obviously delete this file, requiring you to re-analyse your installation.
If people are finding that they need to spend a lengthy amount of time analysing their installation every time they start up, I would beg them to file a bug reporting, and provide the logs that their Launcher is generating, and saving into it's cache folder.
Its not just the first time, its EVERY TIME.
It takes me 3-5 mins for me to actually get into Eve.

Leaving this in place is probably the best thing you have done with the new launcher. Personally I'll be using this method until you streamline the launcher so that
1) it doesn't sit there and validate my installation EVERY SINGLE TIME
2) the launcher processes actualy decide to close themselves rather than remaining open EVEN AFTER I LOGOUT OF EVE
3) you streamline the launcher so that it does not take additional mouse clicks / typing over the old process |

i'll put it simply... logging in is now worse than all the clicking and hauling i have to do to do pi everyday. |

I've been in software dev for 30+ years so I would assume you have something that looks like an industry standard panel of cross functional people on a change control board who review all changes and sign them off? If so please give each one of them a written warning and place it on their employment records.
I can't believe a software dev company who has made the mistakes you've made in the past wouldn't at least think before shooting your foot off, in fact do you have any ******* feet left?

Totally agree.
While it is not really game breaking changes in mechanics or anything like that still CCP wastes a lot of potential for showing of the awesomeness of the game right from the launch of it.
I remember how this whole useless launcher project was justified some time ago. someone from CCP was saying that "everyone uses a launcher for their games so we have to do it too". To hear that from ccp, running a mmo for more than a decade now makes me pretty sad. Something like "everyone runs these useless launchers but we will not do that for the eve client, we will keep our awesome log-in screen and the cool news section of the character selection to do what others need a launcher for" would have been the right approach.
Now with the latest "improvement" to the log-in process that launcher becomes a real pain in sensible parts of my body. Before it was just a little annoyance.
Sorry CCP Devs, i totally don't like what you do in that regard. And i am massively afraid already of the newly invented radial menus nobody needs... They will also take a lot of energy out of the community until they are reverted back far enough to not be too big of an annoyance anymore. I can already clearly sense that happening soon. Sorry guys. Great game otherwise : )

Ok, before CCP kill the facility and for those of you that have apparently LOST there Usernames from the log in screen of this amazing new and improved yet utterly rubbish IMO, log in facility, here is a simple tip to recover this information quickly and without drama.
C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin
Copy paste that line into your windows search and press enter.
this will open the BIN file for you, perfectly safe to do and it contains the 'ExeFile' which you need to locate, highlighted by the EVE symbol.
Once you have found it, right click it and select 'Create Shortcut' this will appear at the bottom of the same page, usual shortcut identification of a curving blue arrow overlaying the EVE logo.
Drag and drop this onto your desktop, NOT THE ORIGINAL, close the explorer and then simply click that shortcut, the Original utterly useless and totally insignificant EVE launcher will open for you along with all your User names neatly stored as before.
Currently you can still use this launcher to open your clients without a problem, been doing it since the patch, hence avoiding all the drama of the past 24 hours, Suggest you also open the New and improved utterly perfect launcher currently offered by CCP's perfectionist Devs and copy your information over in the order you want them, failure to do this correctly will result in your listing being fixed in that order so think about which toons you use first and most and load them in order from there.
CCP Devs will probably read this and instantly either block it or remove the described facility so my guess is it will be time dependent. |

Dear CCP,
Your core product income relies on people buying multiple accounts in order to play this game effectively. You are well aware of this as you have designed in game features to correspond to this model. A few examples of these features where multiple accounts shine the best are: industrial/mining/hauling/scout/super/cyno alts. You are very well aware of this as you even offer the power of two package, thus encouraging people to get alts.
So the the question remains, why screw the people that provide you with large quantaties of profit?
Why change (and break) something that wasn't broken?
Ah well.. innovation through complication then it seems. Logging multiple accounts... sigh.

Launcher takes to long to validate the client.
Wasn't happy that all my setting had disappeared.
I am currently by passing the launcher by using the EVE.bin.exe as suggested by others.
The great part is my client setting are now back, after launching the client this way |

Good god what a failure this new launcher is.
More issues with the launcher / client interaction:
- When getting booted at downtime, the "Restart" button does not restart the client anymore.
- When trying to get back in quickly, waiting for downtime to end, the launcher has a grey'd out PLAY button and one cannot start the actual client from the launcher.
- When firing up the launcher for an alt account that is linked to the original install, we have to use the switch user button and retype the alt account's username instead of it being saved.
Way to go with removing a lot of convenience guys - never-mind the entirely fail roll-out yesterday and inability for the launcher to ignore website issues.
EDIT: One more fail - I can't fire up more than one instance of the launcher to wait on TQ to come up with all my accounts at one time.

I think at this point it is pretty obvious that no QA was done regarding the new launcher. Given its crucial role in starting the game, I cannot help myself thinking that this is a bad sign in total for the software development process at CCP.
I feel kinda sorry for them. I have been playing EvE for more than 6 years now. There were some problems here and there, but, except for the boot.ini fail, the launcher fail exceeds them all in "unnecessarily stupid". EvE is a great game and I hope it stays that way.
So CCP, I hope you guys learned something from all of this and try to improve the QA and unrolling process in order to avoid more fails like these in the future.
XP user here, and indeed as stated above i do too get TWO launchers in memory when running it and despite telling the launcher to close after launching game, it keeps LOADED in memory, TWO times, wasting me about 150mb RAM+150mb SwapRAM...
So after checking this twice, changed the access route to bypass and avoid the launcher, by going to Exefile.exe... sorry CCP , but No Launcher will be used here until it gets improved , in either way (yet by fixing the remain-loaded issue, or going back to 'previous' launcher system). |

The launcher is still unusable here. As the launcher starts up, it validates my client (step 1), creates patch files (step 2), and gets 100% of the way through applying the patch (step 3). Then it just stops at 100% and won't go any further. The "Play" button is greyed out after I type in my account details. |

It would be nice to know what resources you are using now, that you have not used before (like specialised fonts) so we can install these to get the game working we pay you so dearly for.
Telling linux users to use windows will get lots of laughter, but yeah..... I run windows and launcher simply does not work. The only time I got ingame today I had to restart my pc over and over and finally it worked (once and only once). I got logged out and now it is impossibl e to login.
Could you please file a bug report and attach the EVE Launcher logs that should be under the launcher\cache folder in your EVE installation?

Kblackjack54 wrote:Ok, before CCP kill the facility and for those of you that have apparently LOST there Usernames from the log in screen of this amazing new and improved yet utterly rubbish IMO, log in facility, here is a simple tip to recover this information quickly and without drama.
C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin
Copy paste that line into your windows search and press enter.
this will open the BIN file for you, perfectly safe to do and it contains the 'ExeFile' which you need to locate, highlighted by the EVE symbol.
Once you have found it, right click it and select 'Create Shortcut' this will appear at the bottom of the same page, usual shortcut identification of a curving blue arrow overlaying the EVE logo.
Drag and drop this onto your desktop, NOT THE ORIGINAL, close the explorer and then simply click that shortcut, the Original utterly useless and totally insignificant EVE launcher will open for you along with all your User names neatly stored as before.
Currently you can still use this launcher to open your clients without a problem, been doing it since the patch, hence avoiding all the drama of the past 24 hours, Suggest you also open the New and improved utterly perfect launcher currently offered by CCP's perfectionist Devs and copy your information over in the order you want them, failure to do this correctly will result in your listing being fixed in that order so think about which toons you use first and most and load them in order from there.
CCP Devs will probably read this and instantly either block it or remove the described facility so my guess is it will be time dependent.
Confirming total close of new launcher and restart fixed all the issues for me regarding validation times/lost chat windows/etc however, lack of ability to run multiple characters makes this new launcher useless.
Kblackjack54's (and many other smart people) solution works just fine - goes back to the OLD logon screen prior to introduction of the launcher screen and will be my default choice of EVE login till the issue of using multiple logins are fixed unless there's a fix applied.
Or until they stop us using it. |

This works if you only use one client. If you have multiple clients linked to one install, the subsequent logins fail to recognize proper settings.
To multi-box now I have to point all my launch icons to the instaldir/bin/ExeFile.exe
Way to go CCP. I thought you guys ran metrics to understand how people use your launcher and client. Have you ignored them or does no one on CCP's QA team multibox or even test for it?
I waited 24 hours to even experience this launcher drama after looking at the forums yesterday and its still crap right now.

When i close the launcher (top right X), the 2 processes "launcher.exe" remain in the system and eating memory.
What for?
2 things:
1) one launcher.exe should be enough
2) when closing the launcher, remove "all" launcher.exe processes
System:
Win XP PRO, SP 2, Core 2 Duo 6400, 4 GB RAM, GForce GTX 660 Ti
Thanks in advance.
I would really dislike to manually kill this 2 processes everytime i played eve .... |

Another feedback update:
Trying to start the game as usaual via the launcher gets me 6 (SIX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) launcher processes in my task manager when I am only trying to start the game once.
Consequence: Game will be started by shortcut to the exefile in the bin folder.
The launcher can **** OFF.
Sorry, I am no IT professional, but I am a business professional. If you want to introduce new features, kindly ask your customers, if they would appreciate it and prove them that they will get an added value with the new feature.
Every thing else is just a pure recipe for disaster. Messing up so badly shortly before another update, which will crapnerf other fine running things and boost things that don't need boosting.... Well....
I am desperately waiting for the panda bears in space.... Eve was a fine running game with its own charm...

As for the log off button, many people don't really use it to log off from the game, but rather as a quick means to quit the game and restart at the login screen. The new token based authentication that the EVE Launcher uses isn't cleared by the EVE client, and so when it attempts to restart, it will actually attempt to reconnect with expired credentials which would throw an error message. It isn't perfect though, and we will be working on a fix for this tomorrow and in the coming days.
Log Off Button was used TO CHANGE CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Mostly because you didn't have a real way to switch Characters.
Now instead of:
Log off -> Re-enter Password(account was already filled) -> Select New Character
We Have:
Quit -> Re-launcher the Launcher -> Select the Correct Account again -> Re-Enter Password -> Select New Character
Its enough to drive anyone nuts |

To me this new launcher feels like something only half tested and half finished.
My issues so far:
- Click-dragging the "latest news" scrollbar selects text. Actually, you can select most of the text in the window, and often do so without actually wanting to.
- After logging in via the so-called single sign on in the launcher, if I click on any of the links in the launcher, I still have to log in again in the website. What's the point of logging in in the launcher?
- Client verification took a quarter of an hour for some reason.
- After closing the launcher when I log in I have to re-accept the ESRB each time.
- Switching user accounts is a pain: lots of clicking around.
- When selecting an existing user name from the drop down list the cursor should jump to the password field.
- I still have to click play after logging in. Why not make two buttons: Login and Play, that way I can choose if I want to play directly or just log into the launcher.
- When I click play, the "Launching..." text is not centered vertically in the button at first.
- The buddy invites ad jumps around - if there is only one ad available, I would deactivate the switching animation.
- In some cases after switching accounts the left sidebar was completely empty. I had to re-launch the launcher for it to work again.
- 80 MB memory usage seems a bit much for a launcher.
- The "More stories" link in the right sidebar disapears when you click on it, I'd expect it to re
Beyond that, I feel that the launcher still does not offer any real value beyond launching the game. I understand that it fills an important technical role, but from my user view it's pretty pointless. |

I stopped providing feedback on SISI a long time ago. If your opinion does not match CCP's master plan, they just ignore it and steam ahead anyway. This has been going on for ages.
The only reason they keep the test server feedack forum going is to pretend that they listen, when they really do not give a ****. |

This sounds great and wonderful ... really it does .. but as others have pointed out, "the cloud" isn't the solution to everything. The settings used to access the game are not per account, they are per-machine, and the best place to save those settings is on each machine. You moved the fittings to the game servers and from local client storage, and limited what we could do with it, presumably for storage space reasons, and they could be implemented very tightly. You're opening a can of worms by trying to do the same thing with user settings, particularly the per-machine settings, as you then need to save settings for each account on each device that has been used to access the game.
Other reasons people duplicate client installations include stability and backups in case of issues during patching.
And I don't mean any offense, but the simple login procedure we get with ExeFile.exe is refreshing compared to most of the other games out there. This last bit makes me sound resistant to change, but I have to admit ... what we had really was nice from the end-user perspective. It wasn't perfect, but it was better than a lot of alternatives. |

Not sure whether anyone cares... Figured this is the feedback thread, so here's my feedback:
I don't like the new launcher, please reverse the "upgrade" if you can, I liked the old log in screen better, stylewise. Not sure why a change was necessary technically or why that wouldn't have worked with the old log in screen. |

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

The launcher only saves 5 account names, I have 8 so it is a pain.
If I type in a different name to one saved 90% of the time when I go to enter my password it wipes the new name and picks one of the saved ones.
Just had all my accounts dc (my internet connection is fine) and the launcher is telling me the game is offline so cant log in at all. |

The "speed" that I can log is is now much slower than before. Ignoring #1 above (even tho that's big), I could just type the first letter of the account, down-arrow to select from list of cached account names, hit tab, enter password, and I was in. Takes longer now, and that's VERY annoying.
+1 to that. Fixes needed listed below:
1) Save account names across the launcher
2) Create ingame "Log To Character Select Screen".
3) Let the "Enter/Return" key actually activate the Play key (It activates the Log In key, but not the play key on the launcher.
4) Ingame, remove the "You have been successfully logged off /restart/quit" screen, and either just dump us back to the character login screen, or close the game.\
5) Actually, Restart no longer works at the logged off screen
6) Logged off Screen says "Connection Lost" (Did not notice before, so dunno if that has always been).
The "would be nice selections"
1) Allow the launcher to log in more than 1 account at a time (heck unified launcher, then let it log in more than 1 person at a time.
2) Have monitor setting in the launcher (Launch on monitor 1, launch on monitor 2, etc).
That is all. |

i just went to the bin folder and im using the exefile.
MUCH faster and more confortable.
The idea with the launcher is not bad, but the login screen was faster, because to swich between an character, i now have to:
close eve>reboot launcher>reenter password>Select character
the old was:
logout>reenter password>select character
i'm REALY miss the old stuff.-á

"...near impossible to not annoy some parts of our userbase which (multi-box)."
So you went ahead and annoyed all of us eh? Good choice.
You could have said something ahead of time to manage expectations in the devblog.
You could have at least provided ONE workaround or useable solution ahead of time.
You chose to just throw what you had "technically working" out there. Nice.
I find that without a good mob to provide one for them, most people would have no mentality at all. |

There's a fundamental problem that isn't the launcher on itself but instead the issue is with the epiphany that CCP believes to have had with the SSO.
The SSO would work wonderfully both with the client and in all websites using our eve account credentuials if we were limited to a single account per person as well. This limitation could be from simply banning multi accounting (I know, right?) or creating a system in which you can get all your toons into the same account (and with the new spend plex, train an alt simultaneously, there's no reason not to get this done).
SSO vs. multi accounting players just doesn't work and CCP would have been better off sorting the multiaccounting thing before moving into the SSO. |

They have partly sorted the multi-accounting with the new launcher, by releasing it and getting plenty to unsub the extra accounts. I guess in CCPs eyes thats progress. |

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

Hmm how many pages are required for this topic to be classed as a threadnaught ?
I am very afraid that these problems with the launcher, CCP changing something that works for something that is shiney is a symptom that perhaps the awesome! is back.
Some of the main features of Odyssey like the new system scanner, the mini hacking game, the click as fast as you can to grab the cans thing all remind me of CCP running up to Incarna. Changing things that work for something more shiney, rather than addressing major game issues (POS, corp management interface 0.0 stagnation etc etc etc)
I wonder how Ripard's snapcount numbers will look in 6 months. |

The new login functionality that we deployed today is designed to start changing the way users log into the EVE Universe; whilst it is often true that one shouldn't change something if it isn't broken, such a clich+¬ doesn't allow for changing priorities. Our goal was that by rolling out the new login method, and supporting the single sign on service, we could lay the groundwork to start moving people away from the messy multiboxing setups that have traditionally never been supported by us as a company, and towards something that makes more sense for CCP and the services we provide.
Well, if you try to replace and improve how people use the launcher to multibox, go on improve it AND THEN YOU RELEASE!!
What you DON'T DO is to replace a working thing with your "groundwork" an then tell us you will implement all the awesome replacements for the functionality you just trashed later!!
NO, just NO!
I can't believe anyone would think this was a good idea. Seriously in what world?!
Plz, do the right thing, rollback and apologize for the inconvenience. Tell us you learned something from this mistake and you will release the launcher when it is ready and all the people on the testserver are happy with it. |

Might I make a suggestion?
First, let me say, the new launcher is a big pain in the ass. First time I tried to log into Eve after you, CCP, deployed it, it couldn't install a file and I had to abort it. Trying to launch it again presented errors immediately complaining it couldn't run. Thank god for the repair.exe.
Second is the reset of game settings requiring a restart of the launcher and client to fix. Bullocks!
It's obvious you don't test anything CCP.
So, my suggestion: Tie your payments systems into the launcher.....make it the only place we can make payments to you, activate hours for plex, purchase plex from you. Then, I'm sure, you'll get it right EVERYTIME!
EDIT: CCP.....I've been thinking about what it really means...Crowd Control Productions, nah. Clowns Choking on Peenis' is more like it.

Subject: New launcher software
Executive Summary:
Why did you mess up my settings? A whole bunch of stuff is all screwed up.
Details:
You know, I think I may just stop playing altogether. Most of the things I want I can't have anyway. ...and the single signon is a goof. I signed in to the game, then I had to sign into the EVE gate too.
I realize I'll eventually get the hang of all the new stuff if I continue to play... but the point I'm trying to make is you changed some stuff that messes up my routine, messes up the way I've been playing. You put a traffic jam in my busy day, and I damn well don't appreciate it.
So, you've angered me. Again.
Now, would I be doing my life a favor to just quit wasting my time using software made by people who just can't seem to provide me with a satisfying user experience? At this point, who knows?
Maybe so.
And I wasted even more time with this attempt at a constructive forum post... because whoever is patting themselves and their buddies on the back at CCP needed to hear this. |

So, something I thought I would share. One of my alliance mates has had a horrible time with the launcher not picking up her settings no matter what she did.
She's running Windows 7 Home Premium (EN-UK)
We corrected this by having her run the launcher as Administrator on her system (right-click shortcut, Run As Administrator). Now it works like a champ.
Several other folks in my alliance reported similar success by doing this.
To summarize...
SYMPTOMS: When you start the launcher and launch the game, none of your settings are visible. This can happen every time the launcher starts or possibly only sometimes.
WORKAROUND: Run the launcher as administrator and it should have better success with remembering settings, etc.
ANALYSIS:
It would seem that the new launcher is not properly requesting an elevated token on its own when it's executed by the user. This is something the application has to do, as any recent version of Windows is going to assume least privileged mode by default in order to try and protect the user.
I'm not sure why the launcher might need an elevated token but the "rules" of UAC/elevation are fairly simple and straightforward, documented here (this is the Vista article, I'm sure there's an updated version for 7/8 somewhere on MSDN): http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/bb756922.aspx
Hopefully this helps the CCP developers out and in the meantime, hopefully the workaround helps others having similar issues :) |

More issues I found:
1) On one computer I get asked for the EULA agreement ALL the time. This is driving me nuts. I never get asked to type in a character in my account.
2) On the other, I don't get asked the EULA but every time I get told my IP hasn't been known or something like that and I have to type my characters names all the time.
3) When I exit the game, now on one computer something screwy happens with the pallette (though I am on 16M colors ) and when I exit EvE, the windows desktop becomes of shades of pink and yellow!

From another EVE-O GD thread:
Quote:*snip*
And yet we pay for the EVE entertainment service, just as we pay for other business services that might fall under the "serious" category.
Dependencies on ancillary systems are just as critical for review as is the primary functionality of the newly implemented logic and UI. Regardless of what caused the failure, CCP's EVE subscribers were faced with a service that was rendered unavailable without some under the covers technical tinkering on a widespread scale. The perception was that the launcher had utterly failed even though it was content / data feeds which were buckling under some unknown pressures.
On top of these problems, there was little-to-no communication from CCP that they were intending to foist some significant new functionality on their users. Given a few days notice, players would have set their long-train skills and gotten assets out of harm's way. Instead of properly setting the expectation of a patch day, CCP surprised its customers in a bad way. This is a big no-no in the world of customer relationship management.
The challenge that CCP faces with poorly executed patch releases is one of a cumulative nature where CCP, on an annual basis, royally fucks up what they market as "expansions" with game breaking defects or functionality that is considered to be highly undesirable by their customers. The list is long with these ****-ups and EVE subscribers have even longer memories.
When CCP pulls a completely avoidable stunt like they did with this new launcher functionality release, the collective perception of CCPs ineptitude is acutely focused on what has gone wrong rather than on the future potential [some might say vaporware] of CCP's long-term initiatives.

Well that was disapointing...
I launched the launcher today, it patched and I expected to be finally able to see what all that fuzz was about. Unfortunately, nothing happened beyond that. No error message, no Offline message, just no launcher at all. Even in my task manager, no trace of it.
I tried reinstalling the game, same issues. I know I shouldn't complain, at least my settings are unchanged. But still, anyone has any ideas how to fix that ?
Launching the game through the .exe file will become tedious very fast. Especially if the old log in screen ends up being removed. |

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)

Whoever pushed this live has no clue about EVE.
Yeah, in dream-la-la-land we get proper SSO global account with all our characters from all our legacy accounts, with no limitations how many of them may be logged at once, as many of them training as you pay subs for etc... but until that pipe dream happens, the launcher MUST (not "should" or "may") support existing multi-account play that pretty much everyone in EVE is doing. Max 5 account names remembered? Yeaaaahh... no.
Sadly the only practical way to feed CCP a clue-bag is to hit unsub. We already know from past dramas that CCP will fix their stuff very very quickly when the beancounter division shows up terrified, with alarming Excel sheets showing subs falling off a cliff.
Multi-account support poor in new launcher? Close accounts. Problem solved. CCP will go "eeek" when unsub numbers spike and problem gets fixed.
Personally I'm heading to vote about this "improvement" with my secondary accounts to account management just now. |

Seriously, from a customer support perspective, do you guys think that's acceptable? A "workaround" for issues you acknowledge but refuse to call a bug or bad design?

Im trying to sound as reasonable as possible but surely at this point with so many people angry and unable to use the client surely a rollback is better than trying to come up with fixes. Then the feature can be rolled out in a working state at a later date.

Isn't it amazing CCP how little we have learned? Yes, this feature is that bad. Lets see how you handle this in the next 23 days. One misstep and I'm back out.
Bye!
In other news, after all the fuss during the day yesterday, rebooted and entered game fine.
Launcher even works.

Can't we just roll it back? The old launcher worked fine, looked better, and could actually connect me to TQ.
As it is i'm having to launch the game using the exe file, which'll work fine until you come to patch the game again. |

Dear windows users:
You have my sincere sympathy regarding all the issues brought along with the new launcher. As I understand, it's quite a few :s
Dear CCP;
You have me worried, and I'm not sure I want a new launcher for the mac clients anymore.
I know you people are eager to expand and upgrade the user-interaction the Eve universe, and a few missteps are bound to happen. And we are all very exited about Odyssey. Please don't ruin that excitement with stuff like this.

Hm, just as a warning: "with any information we have to share" is quite an ambiguous way of putting it. The information you guys WANT to share and the information you guys SHOULD share (after the proper time of preparing it) may actually differ.
However, you owe it to the paying customers to properly analyze the situation, admit mistakes that have been made during the whole design/development/QA/unroll period and write a proper Dev-Blog about it. I am quite sure that many people would actulally like reading about what went wrong. Remeber the boot.ini fail? You had a good Dev-Blog about that too that explained it and settled the topic for me. **** happens, after all. Maybe, just maybe, while you guys write such an article (and reflect about the situation in order to write it) you come up with some insight on how to do things better in the future. |

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.

Just suspend all meetings, and get the right people sat at their stations to roll this mess back first. Then resume the meets and figure out what to do next and release it when you have all these issues sorted.

I'll throw my voice in with all the others about this:
With the new launcher logging in multiple accounts is a pain in the arse. Could you guys have designed it any worse? Maybe next time hire an engineering team with the sole purpose of making the customer's life harder? Actually nevermind, I think you nailed it this time. The only way it could be worse is if it punched me in the nuts when I click Play each time.
Thanks CCP!

The problem is not even the quality of the product (which of course is important) but the obvious ineptitude and
recidivous inability to design functional user interfaces that make sense.
Back at my programming days we had the boss shouting us: "USABILITY, USABILTY, USABILITY! There are people forced to use your piece of junk for 8 hours a day, WALK IN THEIR SHOES!"
Guess what, at CCP apparently they lack a boss that pushes developers into walking in the players shoes and is shows, oh if it shows!

While CCP Devs pontificate on there latest creation....Chaos as some would call it, might I offer to the whole of CCP a solution to a lot of the problems thrown up by this patch.
To begin with it is long past time CCP started to treat it's clients, that is the little people that provide the cash to pay the bills etc. not as something subhuman or infantile which currently appears to be the case, but instead as intelligent mature individuals that really do have the ability to grasp complex explanations.
They would feel a lot less insulted and IMO be a lot more sympathetic towards problems if CCP came clean and admitted that it is the games success that is at the root of a lot of the problems and the inability of those that created it to see into the future and understand just how successful EVE would eventually become.
As a result the coding of EVE and the equipment it is currently running, and believe me they are dependent on each other, is far behind the required curve in the area of operating capacity and coding future proofing and must be fast approaching saturation in terms of it's ability to handle clients given current average user figures.
If as we all hope EVE is to continue into it's second decade of operation with any chance of success it will require a major re-coding and equipment update and surprisingly enough a lot of the community fully understand this problem and what it will take to resolve it, the standings issue alone which permeates the whole of EVE operations is a massive undertaking and is only one small part of the problem.
Information is key here guys, lay it out were you are going, how you intend and hope to get there and what problems you consider might forestall this process, nothing that intricate it might compromise game security but enough to indicate what's happening, why it's felt needed and how you intend to present this as a final product, tall order maybe but in the end when things go wrong, and they will go wrong, The community will be more understanding of what is happening and less of the vitriolic failure message mentality promoted mainly by lack of information
It also might be time for you to consider standing down from the six monthly update process for a year to concentrate on the full overhaul of EVE that is so obviously required, there must be now be enough written, tested and reliable code to allow for small sweeteners to be inserted over the course of a year that would allow you to do this.
The community knows were they need the game to go, you know how this can be achieved, time maybe to do what's required and save us all from this type of thread for years to come.

Now im still having a problem, when the launcher loads it goes through the process of checking for updates and downloads a small patch but when applying the patch at 100% it stops (3/4) and i cannot load the game, i have looked in my bin folder and cant find any exe file, idk if running it from steam makes it different can any1 help. |

Couldnt agree more, its a real shame to lsoe something like that in favour of a box of text and a very odd decision after all of CCPs talk of immersion at fan fest.
Somebody also mentioned the lack of CSM intervention from the old CSM before this became an issue, as much as i agree with that id lvoe to see some input from the current CSM on this, unless ive missed it i havent seen any CSM input in this thread. Would be nice to get their thoughts.

Now im still having a problem, when the launcher loads it goes through the process of checking for updates and downloads a small patch but when applying the patch at 100% it stops (3/4) and i cannot load the game, i have looked in my bin folder and cant find any exe file, idk if running it from steam makes it different can any1 help.
only guessing here as dont use Eve via steam

Hakaru Ishiwara wrote:From another EVE-O GD thread: Quote:*snip*
And yet we pay for the EVE entertainment service, just as we pay for other business services that might fall under the "serious" category.
Dependencies on ancillary systems are just as critical for review as is the primary functionality of the newly implemented logic and UI. Regardless of what caused the failure, CCP's EVE subscribers were faced with a service that was rendered unavailable without some under the covers technical tinkering on a widespread scale. The perception was that the launcher had utterly failed even though it was content / data feeds which were buckling under some unknown pressures.
On top of these problems, there was little-to-no communication from CCP that they were intending to foist some significant new functionality on their users. Given a few days notice, players would have set their long-train skills and gotten assets out of harm's way. Instead of properly setting the expectation of a patch day, CCP surprised its customers in a bad way. This is a big no-no in the world of customer relationship management.
The challenge that CCP faces with poorly executed patch releases is one of a cumulative nature where CCP, on an annual basis, royally fucks up what they market as "expansions" with game breaking defects or functionality that is considered to be highly undesirable by their customers. The list is long with these ****-ups and EVE subscribers have even longer memories.
When CCP pulls a completely avoidable stunt like they did with this new launcher functionality release, the collective perception of CCPs ineptitude is acutely focused on what has gone wrong rather than on the future potential [some might say vaporware] of CCP's long-term initiatives. Suggestions on how to do better? 1) Communication and Expectations Setting: Ensure that your customers have lead-time to prepare for patches. As much as I believe that patches should not contain game-breaking elements, history has proven that when EVE subscribers know about an impending patch, they are more flexible and forgiving if the execution does not go as planned. 2) Testing and Preparation: In hindsight, it is clear that the new launcher is highly dependent upon one or more content servers in order to work properly. Testing what happens to the launcher functionality when one or all of those content servers is unavailable seems like one of the most basic tests-cases associated with this project. It doesn't matter if the content server failure was unrelated to the patch, the fact remains that the launcher is susceptible to the failure of an external system. Assuming that external systems will be up and running for a major patch (yes, the launcher is the gateway to your service, CCP) and not preparing for unexpected failures / downtime is poor planning. Ensuring that the launcher can handle one or more failed external systems gracefully is critical.
It's commendable people even still try to voice sincere and thoughtful advice after 10yrs of CCP repetitively ignoring user feedback about features tested on SiSi & the constant evidence of CCP's failures to conduct even the most basic tests of said features outside of initial coding.
Frankly, the community would better serve itself by trolling CCP hard rather than wasting their own time and energy trying to advise a company that is completely deaf and blind to its customers voice and concerns. At least this way, we entertain ourselves and create our own content.

CCP Atropos wrote:The new login functionality that we deployed today is designed to start changing the way users log into the EVE Universe; whilst it is often true that one shouldn't change something if it isn't broken, such a clich+¬ doesn't allow for changing priorities. Our goal was that by rolling out the new login method, and supporting the single sign on service, we could lay the groundwork to start moving people away from the messy multiboxing setups that have traditionally never been supported by us as a company, and towards something that makes more sense for CCP and the services we provide. If you are telling us that running multiple accounts at once will no longer be possible in the near future then prepare for a $@%&storm of magnitude infinity.
CCP Atropos wrote:To expand on this point, there are a number of exotic setups for multiboxing involving either multiple physical installs of the game, hybrid symlinks, junctions, soft links, hard links, partial copies and more. And in almost every single case people multi box for one reason: to be able to have individual setups for their settings, or to hasten the login flow.
I multibox to run multiple accounts at once. Settings for each account are already handled by the client (even the old one). Also, if you see people trying to "hasten the login flow" why in God's name would you place obstacles in our way like the process required to login multiple accounts with the new launcher?!?!
Old Launcher: Click Play as many times as you have accounts to start up that many clients and then log in to them. Done.
New Launcher: Select your account (the list appears to rearrange itself randomly each time, thanks for that *facepalm*). Log in. Click Play. Wait while the launcher tells you the client is launching. Wait some more. Wait. Wait. See the client fully loaded in the background while still being forced to wait for the launcher to tell you the client is launching. Finally the launcher thinks the client is loaded and releases the button. Click Switch User Account. If you try to get around it by clicking the switch button early you STILL have to wait for the Play button to release from an account you aren't even trying to log in as anymore. WTF?!? Repeat steps above for each account until you are ready to kill yourself.
It does not take a Ph.D. in rocket propulsion to see which of the above scenarios is better. Derp. In this case your logic for "improving" *cough* the launcher appears to be self defeating. "We're trying to speed things up by making everything take much longer! YAY!" Oh my God...
CCP Atropos wrote:As for the log off button, many people don't really use it to log off from the game, but rather as a quick means to quit the game and restart at the login screen.
And we can't have the customers doing something convenient that saves time. Especially if it means they don't get to fight with our shiny new disaster of a launcher that forces them to wait for no apparent reason between logins! Is that what you are saying here? Seriously?!?!?!

More like the CSM are afraid of bitching because they are afraid of that affecting their relationship with CCP. The CSM *is* pretty much useless to most of the playerbase.

Well im reading lots of hints and guides of how to multibox with the new launcher, but my problem is totally different.
Every time i start a client, the launcher vanishes and locks up in the background.
To start it again for the next client i have to kill like 3-4 entities of launcher.exe with the task manager every single time! |

CCP Phantom wrote:The EVE Launcher will be upgraded with new features on May 21, 2013..........
The main change is a new and improved landing page and a new login .
Dear CCP the " upgrade" you installed is terrible, calling that an up grade is like patting yourself on the back because you went from last years BMW to the current fiat, yes its a newer car but its not an upgrade.
also calling a landing page that makes it harder to load up our multiple accounts " improved" dons't seem like a shinning example of buissnes savvy. I would think in these hard economic times you would be encouraging people to have as many accounts as possible.
I don't have a business major but i can give you this tip: if you want to secure your subscription base you need to bring content your subscribers WANT, spend more time on keeping the content fresh and less time developing clunky over cumbersome features and you have a buissness model with staying power.
Eve isn't your personal laboratory to try new ideas in , it isn't about what you think would be cool, or a personal achievements its about a business that brings game play with content and in a format your paying subscribers want.
so as a paying subscriber I plead with you, please un do the damage , if your pride is too much and in the way of doubling back on this roll out , please give a detailed, spin free explanation of why this change was so absolutely needed that you risked disgruntling so many customers. |

I won't drone on too long, but as a symbolic link user, I agree with many of the others that this new launcher is a step back right now. I'm generally happy with the launcher, but the fact that the launcher only remembers one of my accounts is a speedy ticket to madness on my part.
The launcher needs to store its settings on a per-instance basis, just as the client does today. If it did that, then everything would be cool.
And please stop storing the Launcher cache/settings in Program Files. That data needs to be in ProgramData or in the User folder. Program Files is for program files; storing user data in Program Files is highly discouraged and developers were supposed to stop doing that 7 years ago with Vista.

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.

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.

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.

my guess is their goal is not to prevent or make it more difficult to have multiple accounts, but to more effectively track those that do. i'm no programming expert, but i believe the new launcher makes it easier for CCP to see which accounts share a similar owner. CCP has stated numerous times that they can't effectively track how many distinct individuals are actually playing the game. problem is, we all have to suffer so they can track this better. that's my impression anyways. |

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.

It makes absolutely no sense for them to try and discourage multiple accounts, it would deciamte the account base and cost CCP a fortune. Knowing which accounts are connected does make allot of sense when it comes to figuring out botting/RMT issues and player number counts

There are about 500,000 active accounts in EVE. i would say at least 150,000 of those are alt accounts, not everyone has alt accounts, but some have several making up for those that do not. There was one guy that had over 70 active accounts at one point.
So yeah, if they want to give up 20-30% of their active subs, this is a step in the right direction. |

why CCP what as wrong with the old system
muktiboxing now ois tedious and the cpu use is making the game laggy because of this new login system
your end goal might be noble but your execution is flawed time and time again
this doesn't bode well for the new expansion in less than 2 weeks
and if you do not solve the muktiboxing issues within you are going to lose alot of accounts

At least in the case of paying customers, this is pretty easy (I am willing to wager that most of those who pay money for subs on multiple characters do so from the same payment method). Not to mention that it is very easy to group accounts by the source IP address that is used to connect to them and establish a decent mapping of individual account owners up to the limitation of changing dynamic IP addresses, but you'll still see multiple accounts from the same IP, the IP will just change from time to time. Most people do not reboot their modems/routers daily, or even weekly and most ISPs do not force you to change your IP address very often. Connection port origin can even be used to differentiate between people behind a NAT, although things do get murky at that point.
But at the bottom line: Who cares? A game that frequently offers "Power of 2" promotions cannot suddenly change its stance to make multi-accounting harder, or even less convenient. I do not care if they can't track ****: If it makes my gaming less convenient than it was previously for the same amount of monthly subscription they can definitely expect me to be less than content.
"Suffer" my arse.
And again: The fact that this might, at some point in the future, lead to some unknown improvement in anything is not a reason that things should be screwed up now.

I understand and welcome the move to a master login, that encompasses all accounts. It will eventually, (I hope) be an easier way to start and manage the way we play.
But while we wait for this, could you please continue to include ways for us to avoid using the launcher.
Things about the launcher I would like you to change please.
- When I enter my account details, please allow the option to right click/paste into the password box. It's possible with the old login screen, but not with the launcher. (yes Ctrl V works)
- When my details are entered and I select LOG IN, it means I want to play. Why do you then present me with yet another button that says PLAY? Could you please either remove this step, or give me the option to remove it in the settings. So I can simply launch straight in.

To expand on this point, there are a number of exotic setups for multiboxing involving either multiple physical installs of the game, hybrid symlinks, junctions, soft links, hard links, partial copies and more. And in almost every single case people multi box for one reason: to be able to have individual setups for their settings, or to hasten the login flow. The deployment today, as difficult and bad as it was (for which I apologise) was to deploy the single sign on service, through which we can start to work on these issues. My hope is that in the end, you will be able to log into the EVE Launcher once, which downloads your settings from the cloud, with all of your accounts linked, via either a single EVE master account or via some other OAuth provider, and be able to select characters and switch between them at the click of a single button.
As for the log off button, many people don't really use it to log off from the game, but rather as a quick means to quit the game and restart at the login screen. The new token based authentication that the EVE Launcher uses isn't cleared by the EVE client, and so when it attempts to restart, it will actually attempt to reconnect with expired credentials which would throw an error message. It isn't perfect though, and we will be working on a fix for this tomorrow and in the coming days.
How is it you guys know so much about the why, whats, and how we all play your game, but you logs never show a ##$&@ thing.

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...

So....the new launcher.
I always mult-box and do not particularly want to have muliple instances of the launcer open just sitting there after I log on. So, I select the "close launcher after log on" option, just like I did with the old launcher....
BUT....when I want to swap characters on the same account, there is no longer a logoff button, only a quit game button. So now I have to re-launch the new crappy launcher, instead of just of the client automatically going back to the logon screen.
Awesome CCP, if only there was a test server to try your new fancy ideas out on before introducing them to TQ...oh wait..... |

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.

It is far easier to track mulitboxers than that. they have been doing for years by tracking the IP of log ins. Sure there are some cases where different users can have the same IP like logging in from dorm rooms, but Have you ever tried to log in a trial account while already having an active account logged in? It will not let you, it knows there is another account logged in from the same IP. You can get around this if you have multiple IP's either through multiple ISP's or multiple static IP's for what ever reason. It is not a perfect system, but I would say 95% of the accounts logged in from the same IP are a single users mutiboxing.
EVE is a game where mutiboxing works well and is much easier to manage than many other games. Much of CCP's revenue comes from multiboxers. making their game play more frustrating ins not good for business. |

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

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=230690

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

Well, I tried logging out and back in several times using the new launcher, but I did not get my settings back. Setting up the UI is a PITA, I hate having to redo it every expansion. Why should a customer have to understand game programing, what files to copy and restore, just to be abler to play your game with less frustration.
Many gamers do not know these basics, others just can not be bothered. Besides, considering tampering with the program files may be considered an EULA violation, why would you make it necessary in order to avoid this frustration. How can the same developers make such an incredible game, and at the same time make such stupid mistakes and oversights?? |

I always mult-box and do not particularly want to have muliple instances of the launcer open just sitting there after I log on. So, I select the "close launcher after log on" option, just like I did with the old launcher....
BUT....when I want to swap characters on the same account, there is no longer a logoff button, only a quit game button. So now I have to re-launch the new crappy launcher, instead of just of the client automatically going back to the logon screen.
If not keep at it and get it sorted asap

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.
like wtf ccp

This is such a pain in the ass. Not being tech savvy its a total waste of time trying to log into eve for a couple of days after EVERY patch. And seeing as my launcher closes (and will not start up again with out me rebooting my pc) every time it the client starts I cant run my second account. |

Hey an idea to help improve the dual account / dual screen setup, would be to let the launcher what screen to start up on, depending on the account..
Example; i got two accounts. If i write log in on fonac, it will start on my main screen. however i log in on my alt(let's call it fonac2)
Then it will start on the 2nd screen.
I had hoped this was introduced, by as it is right now i'm forced to use two clients instead of one.

I'm not sure you read all the feedback, or maybe got the wrong message because this isn't the biggest of the issues. The thing is we had a system that was immersive, attractive and worked very well so why was it changed. A roll back or an explanation of why this happened would have been a much better start. Also making it clearer you understand what you have done is actually bad.

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)...

Why would you remove functionality I now have two big pains in the ass:
1) Logging in multiple accounts and multiboxing sucks, why the hell the old login screen had to go god knows. I used to login multiple accounts at the same time a lot faster than I can now.
2) The logoff button in the game client is gone, I have a lot of indy alts and used this to log one out and log back in to the same account. I could be doing this one 3 clients at once logging in and out of each in turn.
Seperate the launcher from login again please.

Congratulations! My Macbook workhorse that has never ever crashed in 5 years has done so 3 times today already. What caused this? Opening EvE client. I bypassed the launcher and opened the game file. Instant crash! Launcher leaves me with a black screen. File a bug report? How can I?
I pay $30 a month to play this, and that money does not come from a surplus but a budget. This is my relax and entertainment fund I set aside. I took a year off last time because of Incarna and I hope I dont have to again until you fix this.
Note: I really don't feel like reading replies such as "Mac is crap" or Get a real computer". Those are the kind of responses I would expect from an immature teenager. I don't bash your choice of computer, so please be respectful. |

This could be the most useless feature ever implemented in EVE, ofc most of us understand the drive behind sso many mmo-¦s liek to create vitrual synergies with thier product, but as a user, this is really one giant step back. When logging in becomes an issue and a "job", I as a user dont really want to log in.
I also know all these non-constructive posts are flashing by the eye as developer, so I will leave a little word from the early days of development, in the days we only had Assambler and C was a hype :)

I'm glad that the long term plan includes better support for multi-boxing, and storing account settings on the server. Considering the frequent promotions to encourage alt accounts like "Power of Two" and "Start a Sidekick", I'm surprised this hasn't been addressed earlier to be properly supported, rather than everyone hacking their clients to make it work. Please make this a priority, as the current state of the launcher makes multi-account use very difficult.
For now, I've completely skipped the launcher to avoid the issues, and am launching the ExeFile.exe directly. |

Put the log off button back and just make it take us to the character selection screen for that account. Fixed and done.

The way I see it there are three main issues with the new launcher:
1. I wasn't ready for release. (On the second day there are still people who can't get it to work.)
2. It does not provide any advantages over the old launcher.
3. It does provide some definite disadvantages compared to the old launcher.
C'mon, CCP, roll it back. You have done that before with faulty upgrades.
You don't need to trash it. Just roll it back until you can fix the worst problems. |

It now takes 5 minutes to even load the launcher before I can even start to sign on.
As they say 1 step forward and about 10 backwards.

That's CCPs other big problem. They are horrible with communication, if they had done a devblog, if they had highlighted the upside/direction of the launcher, and if they had rolled out someone with compassion and humility to the thread ...
ITS CALLED COMMUNICATION
they probably could have got buy in from the player base and this thread would be 1/2 the size even with the network problems.
Unfortunately, CCP confuses "nerd cool" (you can talk to Devs!) with "Devs are great for crisis control".
As I said, I like that the Dev is here rather than hiding under a table as in the past, but the autistic "Send us a bug report" instead of acknowledging that mistakes were made, is just serving to wind people up further.

The last several patches, updates, and expansions have gone so well they had to throw a wrench in to slow things down and drop players expectations back to a level that did not require excessive effort to meet.
Was all the bling and new features that the players actually asked for in the last couple expansions, just a diversion while they waited for us to drop the soap??

Serious own goal here CCP, all you have really managed to do with this update is annoy a lot of your players and made people come up with creative ways of getting around not having to using the launcher at all. (I'm going for a shortcut of the ExeFile atm)
Why does logging in have to be so hard? I have never come across anything so ridiculous.... and the client log in screen looks cooler anyway! |

It was on the test server, but it did not work there either. luckily on SiSi its use was optional. Most just did not use it, as it did not work.
For some reason CCP took the lack of bug reports on the launcher that did not work as a sign there was nothing wrong with it. How did that work out? Well over 119 pages of rage about fixing something that was not broken.
CCP really messed up with this one. While I aprecieate CCP Guards attempts at damage control, I expect it will be a while before we see a coment from a Dev actually responsible, as they are all busy working on fixing it, not talking to us. I guess that is a good thing, but we would still like to know what is going on, not just get smoke blown up our butts. |

Initial impressions of the new launcher (once it started working):
The first time that it runs it seems to be very slow. Fine, it has to verify the client and that's a slow job - I understand. However it seems to give priority to putting shiny junk and news items up on the screen and not to the log in box. When I start the launcher I'm doing so because I want to play eve.
So what it should do is put the log in box up first, let you log in whilst it validates so you can walk away and get a mug of vodka or whatever and then when you come back it has automatically started the client and you are at the character selection screen. If it has spare cycles whilst doing the validation then it can use them to go get awful news like how you should rejoice that there's a new launcher (lol, bitter irony ;) ). This way you can actually use the time it takes to do something useful, rather than sit there staring at the screen. You resent the time that it takes less, which is important.
Why is there a play button at all? When am I going to hit login at the launcher and not hit play? The only reason to do that would be because I decided not to play Eve (or screwed up and logged in to the wrong account). 99% of the time though, people launched the launcher because they want to play and they log in to the right account so the play button just slows you down.
Which brings me to... Why does the launcher shut down when it launches the client? I can't alt-tab to it to launch a second client, like I could with the old launcher, I have to re-launch the launcher. This is slow and clunky and involves navigating windows more than the bare minimum (alt-tab to launcher, hit play).
The launcher also isn't properly saving my account information. It seems to have eventually remembered my first account name on about the fifth attempt, but it still doesn't remember my second account. And that third account that isn't subbed at the moment that used to be in the old launcher's login? It doesn't show that one either and I don't happen to remember it so my motivation to pay you for a third account (admittedly minimal) is even lower as it would involve extra effort for me.
Why has the log out button vanished from the client? That used to be the fastest/least effort way to switch characters as it automatically launched the new client rather than having to go through the launcher again.
The new launcher seems to randomly ask me to accept the terms of use about every third time that I log in. I'm actually sitting at the character choice screen for one account, re-launched the launcher, logged in the second account and I have to agree to the terms again? |

If DUST is successful, they are going to listen to us even less than they do now.
That said, the only people I know playing DUST are from Eve, so good luck with that...

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! Hey an idea to help improve the dual account / dual screen setup, would be to let the launcher what screen to start up on, depending on the account.. Example; i got two accounts. If i write log in on fonac, it will start on my main screen. however i log in on my alt(let's call it fonac2) Then it will start on the 2nd screen. I had hoped this was introduced, by as it is right now i'm forced to use two clients instead of one.
In the Esc menu, where you see video card, dropdown window will give you that option with dual screen setup. Do that for your second and run both in fixed window. Hope that helps

Having a single sign on all accounts at the same time is a security issue. What we need is a multiple account sign on. The login is lasting as long the launcher is running. Just choose a logged in acc and press play button.
Btw. the launcher starts the client exactly one time. After that I have to close the launcher. This is annoying. |

After half an hour of frustration, I managed to get back into eve by running the repair tool and then launching the EXEFILE directly, thus bypassing the launcher. I immediately spread this information to everyone else I knew who was having similar problems.
I have to say that loading the game without the launcher is a definite improvement, so.... good update, I guess? |

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.

Prove the following statements are still true, and I will hang on a while longer in a wait and see state....
What about this letter from the CEO: http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/2672
"You have spoken, loudly and clearly, with your words and with your actions. And there were definitely moments in recent history when I wish I would have listened more and taken a different path."
"But enough talk from me. We all know that much quoted phrase, GÇ£ItGÇÖs not what you say, itGÇÖs what you do,GÇ¥ that will make the difference here. From now on, CCP will focus on doing what we say and saying what we do. That is the path to restoring trust and moving forward." |

I said it before and I'll say it again. Just stop all meetings, and get the right people sat at their stations to roll this mess back first. That's should have been step one and should have already been done. Then resume the meets and figure out what to do next and release it when you have all these issues figured out.

A very helpful thing would be an option to pause the running of a paid account for when technical problems make it impossible for you to play.
On a side note: my launcher still does not work:

But we have to have preliminary pre-meeting meetings about planning for a meeting that will lay the groundwork for a meeting we might put together about planning for another meeting.
All kidding aside, I've worked in the corporate IT world and my statement above isn't far from the truth about how it works with meetings! 95% meetings, 2% actually doing, and 3% bitching about all the useless meetings.

i support this common sense statement. the launcher should really be optimized for multibox users. CCP would see the biggest bang for their buck by catering to this segment of their player base. they also have the most to lose by upsetting this group. |

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.

1,000 times this. Every JF pilot and many combat capital pilots are glaring lasers at Iceland right now over this.
Workflow to run JF last week:
Run launcher
Click Play n times, where n is the number of cynos needed plus one for JF
Log in JF
Log in cynos, invite to fleet from JF
Go about business.
Workflow today:
Run launcher
Click password box to give focus
Log in JF
Click Play
for each cyno {
click Switch Account
click password box to give focus
Log in cyno
Click play
invite to fleet
}

Constructive feedback to CCP regarding the launcher, it's deployment and the way they broke it:
1. The launcher was not broken, ergo there were no reasons to change it. The change has not improved anything for any player, therefore it should not have been deployed.
2. When I launch eve (i.e. what a launcher should do) I don't want to have to log in to the launcher first, then have it validate my client, then log out, then log in, then have it validate my client again, to launch a second instance of Eve.
3. Validation appears to take much longer now than it used to; presumably due to bad code
4. You should NEVER release anything where there are known problems, but also known (but unpublicised) workarounds. You should be making the game easy to at least log into, if not to play.
5. Don't bother releasing anything to the test server and asking for feedback, if you are just going to release a daft, and broken piece of code anyway.
6. Don't release an update that disrupts or changes in any significant way, how a player logs into the game. And don't do it 2 weeks before a large patch is due to be released.
7. Any update should change only the very minimal of my saved settings. Any update that changes things like chat windows, should automatically fail QA, even if there is an unpublished workaround.
8. Whoever made the call to release it, should not work for CCP. Tell the players who they are, and they will drive them out of the business so you don't have to fire them.
9. NEVER EVER tell your customer base to use a workaround. Fix your software rather than helping them avoid having to use it.

This is what I thought CCP meant when they said "Single Sign-On":
1. I would be able to consolidate my four accounts into a single account.
2. All my current characters would be listed for play under that single account.
3. If I want more characters I spend another $15 a month for 3 more just like today.
4. If I want to log into another character I would click "LOG OFF" and then be taken back to the character selection screen.
Why is this so hard? This is what it sounded like you guys were talking about at fanfest. Who dropped the ball?
Edit: Oh I forgot. I would be able to play one character out of each group of three simultaneously just like today. Along with training, etc.

I just wanted to express my frustrations with the new launcher.
a) more time consuming to log into multiple accounts.
b) when trying to relog into an account i just quit, the left side of the launcher where the "play" button is located will become blank and expand, and not enter the game as it was meant to after i pressed play. i then need to restart the launcher.
c) why can't you keep the "log off" option and just have it return us to character selection.
Huge piece of ****. I hope you lose subscriptions from players with multiple accounts as punishment and fire whatever dumb **** shoved this down out throats. |

What are the chances of getting it back?
It's like the jukebox. Worked well enough, was useful and got removed just because and forget to ever see it again.

^^^ THIS THIS THIS
I also use multiple systems, with different settings for each. I have two desktops and a laptop I play EVE on. My main rig is my gaming system at home. It has 3 monitors, can run 4 clients at max settings, brackets on, with no lag. My second desktop is an older system i have at work for running CAD programs. it can also run 4 clients, but only at minimal settings, and it only has two monitors. My lap top has really bad integrated graphics, it can run one client with decent settings or two at minimal settings with a slight bit of lag.
It took some time to find the optimal settings for each system, and they are all different. having settings stored on a cloud and auto loaded to whatever rig i am playing on would be game breaking for me. Do not even think about it or I am gone. I barely get on enough to justify paying subs on 4 accounts as it is. When money gets tight, game subs are the first to go. I have the extra cash right now, but i will not pay to be frustrated, gaming is supposed to be fun, I do not get payed to play like the employees of CCP do. Not to diminish the amount of work that goes along with there play time, but do not expect paying subscribers to view the gameplay the same as some one that gets payed does. |

3 things.
1. It would be nice if the Auto-Type function from my password manager works for the eve launcher. It works with other launchers, so yes it's possible. That would save me a few copy/paste, clicks and some mouse movement.
2. Too much unnecessary information on the launcher. I count 13 links. I'm happy with my firefox browser and my bookmarks. Sorry CCP but I don't need a game launcher for that.
2. When I quit the game and close the launcher it actually doesn't close. The launcher screen is gone, but I have end the process with my task manager. If I don't do that I can't reopen the launcher again, for a second eve session (although it loads the process in the background)
The first time, when I didn't knew what's going on, I had like 6 launchers running in the background. I kept pressing the shortcut for the launcher because nothing was happening.
Technically speaking, maybe the new launcher is a step in the right direction. But so far as a customer I'm not impressed. |

This whole story is again so depressing...
Why is it "WE THE PLAYERS" have to explain to CCP how the game is played?
If it is true that nobody has thought about multiboxing when such ideas as the new launcher and future things like cloud storage come up that won't work if you use different computers and operating systems with multiple accounts, then just tell everybody that 10 years was enough fun and it is time to move on to other games. |

I have to congratulate CCP for breaking something that didn't need fixing. I did at least, manage to get my old settings restored by starting the launcher a 2nd time. So that at least is not a problem.
The problem I have with the launcher is this. This is not my only account. (Big surprise, right?). With the old launcher, I'd click to start the client, and log on from that. I could do this 3-4 more times if I wanted to, with little problem.
With the new launcher, I now have to log out, and log back on as a different user, each time. From my point of view, this has added an additional step that isn't really necessary. And to be honest, I see no great advantage to the new launcher. In fact, I see no reason to use it at all.
So, either give us back the old one, or at least just take this current piece of garbage away, so it doesn't clutter up our screens.
Thank you. |

CCP : I'm probably rightly called a number one fanboy. Back in the Summer of Rage I had death threats (in game) for sticking up for you, even though I thought the CQ was underwhelming.
It might be a bit embarassing to have to rollback the launcher changes but on balance I think it would be the right thing to do.
The lack of a logoff button when using the launcher is not good.
The reason why I would argue for a rollback is that the current situation really looks bad for people just starting to play. |

I didn't blame players using cyno alts, I said that their existence is a game design error.
Or do you think that having to roll alts just to move your ship is an interesting and engaging game mechanic? Does it generate MMO sandbox content?
My view is that all the things that are currently externalized to alts should be revised, and designed either so that they benefit from real player vs/w player interaction, or solved by other mechanics that can be performed by a single character. Alts are workarounds that devalue characters and the sandbox and add nothing exciting to the game for the players.
DISCLAIMER: I also have two such alts, trained purely for PI so I can increase the number of planets from the rather insufficient six. I'd much rather increase the amount of planets per character for example with a skillbook, a blueprint from exploration, some POS module or hell, by hiring dusties to conquer some other player's colony. I hope this made my point clearer.

No, it's not. I don't want to have my client settings downloaded from the cloud. I use multiple client installs precisely to have multiple client settings per account.
Master account thing is a bit meh for me. Sounds great initially, slightly doubtful as to the actual pickup it'll have. |

I would love to have capital movement somehow separated from the existing mechanic, but I don't have any idea how to do so without buffing capitals in a big way. The need for a beacon to lock on to when moving the largest and in many cases most capable of ships makes them reliant on subcapitals. This is good from a balance perspective, because it gives small groups a weak link to target in engaging with larger entities. That cynos are visible and warpable system-wide gives capital movement some of the same vulnerability as subcaps have when moving via gates.
If you have a better idea for this that doesn't make capitals winmobiles I and my 5 jump-capable accounts would be happy to hear it, but everything I can come up with falls short of current implementation on at least one facet. |

on one side, ccp seems to have smart people able to release smart content, on the other side, they seem to have a problem with who ever is managing this kind of scheduled releases.
it shows an attitude like :
"it's broken, but we have a deadline, so we release it anyway and fix it later"
... meanwhile, the players have to deal with the problems for weeks or months until it's fixed properly.
last year, they released the new inventory UI, despite many warnings it was broken, they went ahead anyway, without any regards that players have to work with those buggy systems and endure the displeasure of such problems.
once again, you should not have released something with bugs that prevent people from playing the game normally, especially when the previous version was working fine and you replace it for something not working properly.
but does that really matter to you ?
do you really care about our feedback ?
because we have warned you in the past, of broken content and you still released it anyway.
worst part is that you continue to have a similar attitude, releasing broken content to replace perfectly fine working systems.
we (costumers) don't like that.
but does any of this comments really matter to you (ccp)!?
i suppose it doesn't ...
"shut up and take my money !" is way more appealing to you, of course ...
... how about "check you're s**t before releasing it !? "
us, costumers would appreciate and thank you a lot more, for actually taking what ever time is necessary to release things with less game crippling bugs.

A ship-like controlable drone that's released from the cap ship doing what alt cynos do, maybe? I dunno, Subscriptions might drop and CCP income would drop with it as well because then you no longer need a cyno acc. And wrong thread for that debate anyway.
This is about CCP greifing the player base. Only players are allwed to do that to their peers. |

This launcher update sucks. It takes longer to load, and breaks half the time. Almost impossible to run two accounts on the same computer. Repeatedly have to reboot computer to reset launcher. As someone else mentioned earlier, you now have to go through a two step login vs. one, which makes no sense whatsoever. Why the hell did you guys do this?
And this isn't some online free MMO. I PAY for this every month, x 4 by the way. Very unhappy. |

Sounds like an apology job for Hilmar again...if he can find some time...i hope he already knows about the problems of players not being able to even enter his great game...
Until then maybe we have to write a few more posts to this thread until the database explodes.
If a problem thread reached more than 500 posts where players can't login, i would expect all CCP to be awake and coding and informing players left and right.
But now we passed 2500 posts or something and i don't feel like a customer, but a beta tester. AND IT IS STILL DEPLOYED AND DOESNT WORK FOR EVERYONE.

Or do you think that having to roll alts just to move your ship is an interesting and engaging game mechanic? Does it generate MMO sandbox content?
I would love to have capital movement somehow separated from the existing mechanic, but I don't have any idea how to do so without buffing capitals in a big way. The need for a beacon to lock on to when moving the largest and in many cases most capable of ships makes them reliant on subcapitals. This is good from a balance perspective, because it gives small groups a weak link to target in engaging with larger entities. That cynos are visible and warpable system-wide gives capital movement some of the same vulnerability as subcaps have when moving via gates. If you have a better idea for this that doesn't make capitals winmobiles I and my 5 jump-capable accounts would be happy to hear it, but everything I can come up with falls short of current implementation on at least one facet.
If I had a solid suggestion how to fix that I would have no doubt posted it already :)
One part of the problem is that the same mechanic is used for dramatically different purposes- cargo logistics, primary movement of capital ships and bridging small gangs and fleets. Perhaps a good start would be to separate jump freighters from offensive uses.

I think such fail deployments serve a unique purpose:
TO IDENTIFY EVE'S HARDCORE PLAYERS
If you're like the developers involved in this nonsense, you would have a single account with maybe one Jita dwelling alt used for market checking purposes, in which case, this thread doesn't concern to you.
TBH, the only thing well done was the awakening of the most sensitive segment of the EVE community in total rage for this being the most demotivating prelude to an expansion I've seen in my 5yrs playing this game.
The entrance to the game was ruined!.. How can it be messed up any worse!
I understand that CCP is pushing the marketing on re-selling the game over and over again to it's same player base. And I don't disagree.. Apparently there are many who want to have a full house within the game.
EVE players don't want anything back.. no previous log in system, single crap log in, etc. EVE players want this to work!... PLAIN AND SIMPLE. So, go back to your drafts, throw them all away and re-do the thing with your beloved hardcore player base in mind before your marketing strategy collapses. Those who want to that full house within the game already have it. If you think anyone is considering re-buying your game with this crap by acquiring more accounts/alts, you're in the wrong business!
This... thing that was done, acts opposite to the merchandising goal and marketing strategy.
Selling EVE to newcomers is hard: It's an aggressive in-game environment and the learning curve is an indigestion for most.
NOW YOU CAN'T EVEN SELL THIS TO YOURSELVES

Got all happy cause I got EVE working again the way it should with the shortcut from the bin folder. But after reading that no point in undoing the sub cancellations. It may take months or even years to get the new launcher friendly and usable for multi account use. Good luck guys and keep working on it CCP great game will keep eyes out for updates and improvements

It might be worth you noting that the only reason you keep you're player base despite the huge amount of upset you seem to cause them, is that you are unique in the game you offer. Keep upsetting them and this will change, someone will create something not even as good, but good for its consumers and they will get your audience.

Another thing that bothers me is that we haven't heard anyone from CCP admit that this upgrade was a mistake. And no explanation of why they won't roll it back. It's pretty obvious that a lot of people are unhappy with it, even if they can get it to work at all.
What's up with that?
How about a simple, "We're sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused."
I mean, this isn't a player problem. The players didn't write, or rather fail to write, the new launcher software. CCP did.
Someone mentioned an apology from Hilmar. Sorry to admit it, but anything Hilmar says makes me madder than if he just kept his mouth shut. |

OK, two-factor authentication
I would like to have that
with increased security does come some inconvenience, but most places that have two-factor authentication have it as an option.
You still need to address the multiple account part and the master account.
Regarding issues with bad releases, most people remember having to run and place the largest item in their training queue right before a patch.... Sometime it would be a few days to settle and you never wanted to be part of the people that lost stacks of items, or some other horrible story of patches gone wrong.. They have gotten better at patches, but this launcher needs to be taken back and fixed to match ALL users not just the single account players.

With the amount I pay on a monthly basis for this game, I expect quality service and proper updates from the EVE teams, and this has just ticked me off. Honestly just give me a similar game and better service with lower costs involved and I'll hit the road.
Why should we resort to manipulating or falling back on old files to get the game playing? bullshit, that's poor customer service. i expected this to be fixed by the time I got home, too much credit given I see. |

I have to agree with Leggey here.
Some of us have been playing this game for a long time. When you guys (CCP) make changes to the game it seems that our request for changes and fixes are ignored in place of fluffy graphics and pointless sh*t.
It feels like we are moving back in time... say like North Korea 1950
And over the past 2 years you have managed to screw up PICK_A_NOUN
But we, the community, the players are what make Eve successful. We are the ones who continually pull in our friends, girlfriends, wives, brothers, sisters, nephews to come play with us. It's the community that makes the game, not the game itself.
If you continue to ignore us and treat us like idiots, we will leave... and take our extended families elsewhere. We will pull them away from their machines to do other things.
I'll be happy with putting all my toons in cold storage and stop paying you 80+ bucks a month.
As for the launcher, CCP Guard I know your trying to do the right thing, but a FAQ for what is basically a login screen? Who does that?
We dont need more to have the ability to tweet or skype from the login or fluffy graphics, or a warp tunnel each time we gate jump or flashy animated icons that suck power away from our already over priced graphics cards.
Give us the content we ask for and tell those idiots who are asking for the fluff to **** off. They are not paying the bills. |

Hey CCP How about a simple, "We're sorry for any inconvenience we may have caused."
All the people in this thread are PAYING CUSTOMERS that haven'nt even heard so much as "my bad" from you ! WTF
My "new and improved" launcher tells me im working in offline mode (i.e it doesn't work at all) and i have to search through the forum to find a way to fix this issue poasted by other players not CCP. again WTF !
There is 124 pages of posts here from PAYING CUSTOMERS who are unhappy because
a) You (CCP) replaced the working, ergonomic, fast, well developed launcher with a buggy, slow, ****** launcher
b) You (CCP) post about how you "never officially supported" multiple clients (i.e. all us PAYING CUSTOMERS with multiple accounts/clients can look forward to zero effort to make this "new improved" launcher work unless it takes almost no effort to solve
c) You (CPP) dont implement a roll back of the obviously broken launcher
d) You (CCP) never so much as say "sorry" to your PAYING CUSTOMERS for breaking the game.
This "new launcher" is some of the worst software development twinned with poor customer relations i have seen in a long time |

Effing horrible. So the updating happened and I was able to start the first client. THen when I tried to log onto my second account.....no. No launch. Checking the processes I see 4 instances of the Launcher.exe,
In game: I can't launch a Vaga because somehow, impossibly, I've managed to load more mods into the highs than there are highs. Um. What?
I'm sure this is a tale of updates and change resistance, but this is easily the worst implemented update to date. We should all get some in game reward for putitng up with this/
We are paying clients, CCP, and you are not providing the service for which you are being paid.

I must be the only person that used the launcher all of once or twice. After it kicked off the real game, I right click on it and select 'Pin to Taskbar'. To start up the game, I click it the appropriate number of times for the number of clients I want open...only 1 or 2. I log in to each, just like has been done for years.
The real login screen still shows incompatible protocol when an update is necessary.
Now if the launcher was one of those irritating auto-launch things in windows, that sat in the task tray, and always kept you logged on, that might be kind of useful except for the irritation. Then we could click that pinned program icon and not have to type each time... |

CCP,
Please give us back the 'Log Off' option button in the settings window. This 'NEW' launcher seems to have removed that option from the settings window entirely. I for one want that back. The rest of the launcher I can live with tho it slows down something horrible if trying to log in two accounts at the same time.
Note, using the regular .exe file does return the Log Off option button.

TASK MANAGER - Multiple Launcher processes.
When I start the game from the desktop icon Eve Launcher starts, and I get 2 Laucher processes in Task Manager (which is fine as I understand it's bootstraping). Log into game and play, everything is fine..... log out and the the 2 Launcher Processes are still there (even though check box for closing launcher after log in is activated).
Try to log in again and I get 2 more Launcher processes are added to Task Manager (x2 per log in attempt) but this time the Launcher will hang. If I manually remove all the Launcher tree processes from Task Manager and re-start the game from the desk top icon, everything is fine again.... until the next time.... rinse and repeat.
Anyone else with this issue? Or any remedy?
My work around: Make a desktop shortcut to the EVE.exe file located in the game folder/bin folder.
This will bypass the "Launcher" completely and you can enter the game as normal, before all this mess (and you also get the Log Off option back,,,, not just Quit the game). |

WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD I WANT 2 RUNNING PROGRAMS INSTEAD OF ONE?
really though CCP. I'd bear with the new launcher crap if it didn't clutter up my Alt+Tab menu with a useless icon that i don't need aside from logging in and changing characters.
I'd much rather have the launcher auto-close like the old launcher and then have an option in-game for switching characters rather than the old method of closing the game and re-opening a new instance of launcher/game exe. |

My launcher gets stuck at this stage:
Quote:(3/4): APPLYING EVE_ONLINE_538542-538542_WIN.PATCH: 100.0%
Also tried to run the repair-tool a few times, and it gets the job done.
But since the launcher itself cant get to stage 4/4 im never able to hit the "play" button.
Currently just launch the exefile.exe manually, but also some way i could fix the launcher working again? |

I'm sure someone has said this already, but as CCP is forcing me to jump through hoops (again), I'm just going to say it again:
Would you PLEASE stop making changes that force us to recreate and position all of our windows, reconfigure our overview, and so on. Four accounts, multiple characters per account... WHY DO YOU TORTURE US LIKE THIS?????
After adjusting all of my in-station settings, I just undocked and saw that my overview was back to ground zero, and that leaves me with the biggest I DON'T WANT TO BOTHER PLAYING feeling. A couple of hours of tedium re-doing all of this just really takes the fun out of space.
EDIT: yes, I've re-read the initial post and see that their may be a workaround for the lost settings bug. It still leaves me wondering how in the world the launcher could have been rolled out without that bug being caught before release. |

This is what we want. Until you get there, leave it the **** alone. No, it's not. I don't want to have my client settings downloaded from the cloud. I use multiple client installs precisely to have multiple client settings per account. Master account thing is a bit meh for me. Sounds great initially, slightly doubtful as to the actual pickup it'll have. This is what we want, linking the accounts but not with this buggy launcher. The settings in the cloud has the advantage, you cant't loose them by yourself.
Cloud settings sounds very bad, once you think about the implications.
Firstly, if you login from different computers from time to time (say, laptop and desktop), then your graphical settings and window layouts can vary significantly between the two. Many laptops struggle with minimal settings, whereas you may prefer higher settings and resolution on your desktop. Cloud settings would mess you about whenever you first log in to a different device.
Secondly, many players multibox. Currently it's possible to have multiple installs/symlinks/junctions etc. with independent client settings (typically graphical settings, such as quality, resolution or window location for multiple monitors). Cloud settings would prevent this from being possible.
Of course, those arguments would be moot if CCP were to maintain client settings in the cloud for every device/install you have logged in from, but doing so would significantly increase the amount of data CCP would need to store on their servers, and gives practically no benefit except in the case of your computer's drive failing, at which point you have far bigger problems to worry about than some internet spaceship settings.
As I said before, personally a master account has limited draw for me, so I'll largely stay out of that discussion. However, it does sound like it could be a pain to implement and has additional security implications (If my master account gets hacked, all my accounts are hacked) |

This launcher is unusable, failing almost always in the IFRAME bug.
If this is not sorted before the next iterative progression that CCP are discussing, then it will be functionally impossible to log in to the game.
For now direct link to exefile.exe is the only viable load option.

would have been easier if the launcher would use a seperated setup for each account name you log in with so i dont need to have 3x install and launching the launcher 3 times.
That's what I was talking about. Settings for my actual accounts is different, I was talking about the launcher's settings.

So - I hadn't really tried till today to log in again.. I couldn't the day the launcher was ....err .. launched. It was G.N.D.N. (goes nowhere, does nothing)
First impression (T+15 seconds) Cool .. this looks to be colorful and maybe functional. Then the update to the launcher/client with no payoff .... (unable to enter Eve). Tried a few things ... tb'dp (too borked:didn't play)
So - you double click on the launcher and I get two executables? that hang around? even after the client is closed ? I can nuke the launcher with no effect on the running clients, but I'm not about blowing smoke out of the room, lets put out the fire. CCP, this will need to be fixed.
Then 2nd impression (T+45 seconds) OH HELL NO !! NO LAUNCH ANIMATED GRAPHICS AND BACKGROUND MUSIC. Wait .. did I break something ... nope. Read forums and others are torqued off about this as well.
CCP just saying, that was a bone headed decision. One that I'm sure you're getting a ton of flak over (incoming DPS is going to be high on this one)
I read I was lucky that I didn't loose my overview settings and custom tags-in-space config.
I only have two accounts .. so I shouldn't have issues where I can't easily float back and forth .. or at least not that I've run into yet.
So CCP put these two things on the dry erase board - multiple launcher for single launch that sticks around after exefile.exe process is up or is closed .. and bring back the animated loader screen with back background muzak. |

Ok, new launcher works for me, but it gets tedious, especially with multiple accounts.
Can you give us a command line switch that lets us specify an account and password to launch directly from the exe: Something along the lines of
launcher.exe /username "accountA" /password "pwdA"
would auto launch the client if patching was ok.
That would work just as well for me and let me setup multiple shortcuts on my desktop to launch the appropriate client quickly, and save me a step of having to drop down, click, tab, password, enter, etc... I have no clue what command line is currently supported, but that would be a significant step in making the client launch a lot faster for those of us who have multiple accounts.

Was wondering, could you also make it so that we have to scroll all the way to the bottom of the EULA to click the log in button everytime we want to log in, making it everytime we log in a new character would be better, and also, could you add a pop-up asking me if I am sure I want to log in? 'cause, you know, you can never have to many buttons to click, and I might just forget what the EULA said the first time. Thanks in advance. |

not sure if this has been mentioned yet (this thread is 126 pages so haven't read all of them) but I've noticed that after the game launches the process launcher.exe is running 2 instances on my machine ... ending the processes manually seems to improve performance greatly ... someone may want to look into
1) why the launcher continues to run after the game has launched
2) why 2 instances for 1 instance of the game |

The launcher fails to remove itself from memory after loading/unloading game. It is obvious how this becomes problematic. Also, when multiple launcher processes are running it is no longer possible to run the game using it. CCP still has work to do! |

Why does the login tend to hang a bit when I click launch regardless of how good the system or connection I'm trying to log in through is?

Ok there is a problem with this launcher who might be really annoying
When you launch it, it start two process "Launch.exe" and even you change config "Close the Eve Launcher after starting Eve Online" those two process are still active in memory.
When you close the game, those process still active and didn't kill itself properly their activities.
If you want to relaunch the game, another two process start and the game didn't launch....
I've the same problem on Windows 2003 R2 server x64 and Windows Vista x64 and Windows 7 x64
Have you (CCP) really test that thing on a common config and really see what happens with "task manager" before spread of that update ????? |

This is now the 2nd time im ending up having to re-install eve in 48 hours. the launcher is so unreliable i've gone strait to the batch exefile.exe to get things running. now thats broken, and eve's safe mode isn't doing ****.
meanwhile, while i wait for the next few hours for the download and to fall behind in my industry, can we get a heads up on what exactly CCP is doing to fix this wonderful new launcher they decided they needed to replace? and if they already have, perhaps someone can quote me with an answer or solution i haven't tried yet somewhere in the 126+ pages of rage that has come to pass?

WTF did you do CCP?!?
Seriously... is the new launcher working as intented. I need to scroll down the EULA every single time I login or chance account. So for me as I'm using multiple characters and accounts it's a huge pain in my **************.
Who idea was this? it's one of the most crappiest ideas after the tag4sec thing.
And cause I'm curious. Are you planing on fixing this anyway or is there any chance to get the passwords to be saved somewhere or something. Cause this is just horrible. Takes me forever to login. Plus the UI in the launcher is horrible and so bizare.
Fix it please. The old one was way better in terms of how easy it was to use and how it looked like. |

The test server feedback is there for a reason.
On countless occasions, CCP have completely ignored feedback and suggestions from users pointing out significant problems with new GÇ£featuresGÇ¥, and brought half-assed, poorly developed rubbish onto TQ.
This is yet another example.
There are two possible reasons for this:
1. CCP are too stupid to learn by mistake after mistake and continue to ignore the people who ACTUALLY play the game.
2. CCP do not give a **** about their customers and do what they want regardless.
I think itGÇÖs both.
As they have stopped reading this thread, its another example of point 2.

The new launcher looks great and everything but I have a few gripes about it.
I have multiple accounts and I use a keyboard macro to log in each account. It's convenient and lets me quickly log on all my characters simultaneously. The new launcher however, doesn't let me log in with my macros and I have to put in the password individually for each account. Its a minor nuisance, but a nuisance nonetheless..
I would like it if there were a way to save your log-in credentials for each of your accounts and quickly launch a new window for specific accounts with just a click or two from the launcher. That seems like it would be a good workaround to this problem. |

I'd like to thank CCP for finally sharing the pain that is the Launcher.
I haven't been able to use the Launcher for at least 12 mths, It was a well known issue, and the repair tool/exefile.exe work around has "fixed" this issue for me.
Hopefully CCP will listen to the feedback, both positive and negative, and rollback the launcher to a useable version then actually listen to the test server feedback, but after the derpified inventory and some of the DEV comments I wont be holding my breath.
CCPSreegs: That GMs for some reason have a different interpretation than I do is irrelevant.

Feedback on the new launcher and the login process. First, it only remembers 1 account name, which leads to you having to type any additional ones every time you want to launch the game with them. Second, when you write your account name that wasn't remembered and press tab to move to the password section, it overwrites the account name with the one account name it had in the memory. In it's current functionality the launcher is inferior to the log-in screen and just make the process of loggin in more slower and troublesome then it needs to be. |

Glossing over the rants about CCP not listening to their players (not exactly news) I thought I'd add my voice to the large number of others who also don't like the new launcher.
It's not _just_ resistance to change (although there is a fair element of that).
The new Launcher looks cluttered, amateurish and just feels like it was designed by an overenthusiastic spaniel. Lots of spiffing effects with things fading / sliding / glowing etc but taken together they're just a bit annoying and ...well... naff.
As far as functionality goes it feels like it takes a click or two more than it should to get into an account, particularly when running two in parallel. Trivial I suppose but still a contributor to the overall feeling of "oh ffs can we just have the old launcher back please?"
The behind-the-scenes changes sound sensible - although it would be nice to be able to switch characters without needing to relog the account - but from a user experience point of view this definitely feels like a step back not a step forwards. As with ship spinning I think you might find that a lot of players were surprisingly attached to their old login screen with music, cool animation and minimal clutter.
Keep up the good work! |

I use multiple copies of the client via a file system fork.
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. |

Ooooh a wild feedback thread! In MY EVE?
So now that I have spotted at last the official feedback thread after spending last day moaning about the new launcher everywhere else please allow me to express a great displeasure directed at this new launcher disaster thing.
It is slow and makes using multiple accounts through it unreasonably crumblesome. I shudder think what people with just an HDD will have to suffer through when its so slow on a SSD dedicated to only and only EVE client. Crusical m4, 64 GB one if you must know so decent enough specced. Only EVE client on it.
The guys with just 2 accounts were moaning about it in my corp. I have 6 to log in and let me say to I feel strong emotions towards this launcher. Not that positive ones. Fortunately it is currently possible to bypass the launcher but I'm horrified that one day I might have no other option than to go through this thing if I want to play EVE.
More specifically - number of unneeded clicks - I have to press "play" after I have already entered my username and password ? Really ? Would I do that if my intention would not be to play EVE ? And you can press "switch" only after you have waited for a while for the "play" button to appear if you want to log in another account as well.
Now I'm not opposed to your desire to use launcher but really - if you tempt us with all these power of 2 offers, dual char training, etc, then please use a launcher that is multi account friendly. That out of the way I do actually like the current in-client login screen quite well. Only reason to be willing to endure the launcher was that we were promised easier character switching and I assumed that included proper multi account support. That would be after all a logical thing to do in my opinion.

WTF did you guys do?? I've got 2 paid/paying accounts hanging off this client! SRSLY!
Downloaded it twice from eveonline.com/download. I'm now having the DL the full client a 3rd time now, atleast that 'runs'. Sure it just jumps straight onto 'updating launcher' and sends it straight back where I was, but here's to hoping. >.< |

yeah settings in cloud is a totally stupid idea. WHY would you not want settings being saved locally on the individual computer when they apply ONLY to this individual computer (screen resolution, window layout etc).
As a general rule the launcher should be kept slick and simple. It shouldnt store something in/ load from the cloud, authenticating something, calculating prime numbers or heal cancer - just ffs CHECK FOR UPDATES and start EVE! THATS IT CCP, NO MORE! |

I truly hope the Programers and Developers are reading this forum, I do not recall anything that has had such a reaction.
STELLER COUNCIL, How about you guys actually show some balls for once, do the job you are elected to do and get this fixed - NOW!
That said, just from what CCP have done to the Launcher, it is now very clear to everyone who plays Eve that CCP has one or more software programmers that clearly have no function in actually contributing anything useful to the game.
Instead of fixing problems that really need fixing, for example: in Faction War like removing off grid boosting or making non-militia members take on Militia War Target Status for say 48 hours if they fleet with a Militia member that is involved with any Fation War plexing or combat activity, or developing a T3 version of the Orca with a couple of swap-out-able subsystems that would allow you to reconfigure the volumes of the ship's various holds or add a compressing bay like a Rorq, but possibly smaller cubes, or say add a couple high slots for a couple of strips. Getting off track . . .
Guys, It was not broken! Did you never learn the old rule - If it's not broken, Don't try to fix it! Fix the things that matter, don't **** around wasting your time and our subscriptions stuffing up things that are not important or required.
That said, I do acually like the move of the logging in boxes to the left side, but only because it gives me a longer drop down list.
Having to reagree to the terms every time I login for the first time each day SUCKS, It slows down the whole process, and very clearly from the 107 odd pages in this forum, it pisses everyone else off as well.
I should only need to agree to the terms once, and re-agree only if there is a change to them. The Launcher should bring up my instance window and soon as I type in my password and press enter. There is no justification for some idiot ****** to add extra stupid and useless steps to bring up the game window.
If they cannot justify their employment and contribute something actually useful to the game, CCP must justify their employment at all.
Request CCP clearly identify, for the whole community, which ******** software programmer(s) it is that clearly have no function in actually contributing anything useful to the game. |

Got a feeling its in particular the people with multiple accounts that are tearing their hairs out over this launch client.
Its extremely annoying to do multiple clicks and retyping info that the launcher keeps forgetting. Slows down the login
process.
When something makes you go "FFS......" each time you do it, CCP has done something wrong.
Using a launcher should just be a neutral expirience, not making you curse each time you are about to double-click it. |

My goodness! I go on vacation for one week and come back to a threadnought and login problems. Lucky for me that some of you brilliant people have found decent work-arounds (shortcut directly to evefile.exe) and CCP fixed some major issues before I logged in unawares.
@ CCP: guys, you've been doing really well with the patches. What happened this time? It seemed like a flash-back to the olden days.
I am having so much trouble with the launcher now - just one thing, really - getting the one (and only one) retained account name to go away so I can log in with a 2nd account. I delete it, I backspace, I try cut-and-paste and 5 out of 6 times, the original account name comes back when I move to the password field.
Bypassing the launcher seems to be the only method that doesn't drive me nuts. Although I understand this leads to issues with updates, etc and is not the way it's supposed to work. Please fix it. Yes, having to type my account name in each time is annoying, but understandable for security reasons. Just make the old account name go away. (or allow those that want to keep them be able to do so)
For the record, I missed the initial roll-out of the new SSO launcher. I do not have trouble with the EULA repeatedly showing up nor did I lose my settings. (after restart of the client/launcher, that is)
@ CCP QA Team - tsk tsk tsk. You _can_ do better. You have done better in the past.

I thought CCP Guard or CCP Phantom had said that those responsible for this "launcher" (read: failure) weren't going home before it was fixed?
Can they really work for 2 days straight (If this happens, it might answer why we end up with junk like this), or did the person who stated that mislead us?
I think CCP should do 3 things: 1 don't bring something in that will 'commit unwilling intercourse' their customers with the promise that, when the current failure is replaced, might be cool (18 months down the line), 2 listen to test server feedback (hey, do you remember the unified inventory?) and 3 do both regular QA and use-case testing.
You might want to ask yourselves why this happens so often.
I appeal people with more than just one account and with launcher-problems to cancel their alt accounts' subs.
Not the main account (the new launcher nearly works, and almost as well as the old launcher+login screen for mains), but the alts that CCP clearly "didn't want anyway".
It's what CCP does that counts, not the garbage they say.

It might be worth you noting that the only reason you keep you're player base despite the huge amount of upset you seem to cause them, is that you are unique in the game you offer.

Might be worth fixing it before someone takes advantage of you.
I have to agree with Leggey here. Some of us have been playing this game for a long time. When you guys (CCP) make changes to the game it seems that our request for changes and fixes are ignored in place of fluffy graphics and pointless sh*t. It feels like we are moving back in time... say like North Korea 1950 And over the past 2 years you have managed to screw up PICK_A_NOUN But we, the community, the players are what make Eve successful. We are the ones who continually pull in our friends, girlfriends, wives, brothers, sisters, nephews to come play with us. It's the community that makes the game, not the game itself. If you continue to ignore us and treat us like idiots, we will leave... and take our extended families elsewhere. We will pull them away from their machines to do other things. I'll be happy with putting all my toons in cold storage and stop paying you 80+ bucks a month. As for the launcher, CCP Guard I know your trying to do the right thing, but a FAQ for what is basically a login screen? Who does that? We dont need to have the ability to tweet or skype from the login, fluffy graphics, a warp tunnel each time we gate jump or flashy animated icons that suck power away from our already over priced graphics cards. Give us the content we ask for and tell those idiots who are asking for the fluff to sod off. They are not paying the bills.

Can you give us a command line switch that lets us specify an account and password to launch directly from the exe: Something along the lines of
launcher.exe /username "accountA" /password "pwdA"
would auto launch the client if patching was ok.
That would work just as well for me and let me setup multiple shortcuts on my desktop to launch the appropriate client quickly, and save me a step of having to drop down, click, tab, password, enter, etc... I have no clue what command line is currently supported, but that would be a significant step in making the client launch a lot faster for those of us who have multiple accounts.

I canGÇÖt believe THIS is going to be my FIRST EVER EVE Online forum post and that I will have to complain in it.
PROBLEM:
- I have just reinstalled EVE Online.
- Launcher is still GÇ£OfflineGÇ¥.
- GÇ£RepairGÇ¥ is not doing anything useful for me.
- ExeFile.exe is the only way I can get to game (but as I see this wonGÇÖt be an option in the future)
SOLUTION:
Why donGÇÖt we simple STOP playing the game for letGÇÖs say 24 hours.
Nothing will be lost !!! (Skills are still going to be skilled, industry is still going to go on GǪ) but we should show that THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE TOLARATED.
After that if very simple thing as a launcher is fixed in 24 hours - we should not play until OLD LAUNCHER is being reinstated. NOT the patch, NOT the upgrade. OLD ONE. And also we should DEMAND that OLD LAUNCHER should not be changed until it is proven that NEW Launcher works on (for example) TEST SERVER for ALL players who connect to it.
I am maybe a noob but that does not mean I am less important

I figured after the 60 pages of abuse yesterday that there would be no way CCP could make things worse.....
Going from the response to todays DT it seems that "Where there is a will there is a way" and CCP seem to have endless willpower when it comes to digging themselves deeper into the mire ......
Its already been posted by others, but I have to agree, Don't launch multiple major changes to complex inter-connected IT based systems at the same time or within a very short time frame. SOME bugs show up immediately, others linger in the woodwork. Your double change to Launcher AND client on the same day is a good example of bad planning.
Making changes that, even if they improve back-end systems, are only experienced as a negative/slowdown of the previous systems by the end-user is always going to get you nothing but flack. When those changes render well used processes unworkable you REALLY dont want to mess with them without a VERY good reason. Not seen any evidence of that reason in this case so far .......
I like EVE a lot, I'm enjoying myself more all the time, but I dont like it enough to put up with this kind of performance more than once. I dont think I'm alone in this either, though I'm sure someone will flame me for it anyway. |

Hey Guys,
Love the new launcher - because it has a drop down box for characters. This is the single greatest innovation since the introduction of 4 slice bread toasters.
The new profile page on the other hand....
The previous profile home page was awesome... it only had USEFUL stuff on it. Now it looks like... every other forum profile in the known universe. Contact Chatter / Corp Chatter ? Good features, not great as a default since the only people it will directly benefit is players who are more into eve and want to keep a handle on things when they cant login. Yes its a good chunk of the player base but setting a default alienates newcomers who see constant empty on both.
Wheres the stuff about PLEX on the home page ? I like to know when its on sale. And the "Fly with 2" thing, always had me thinking of spinning up another character... which i did because of how insanely awesome it is to have 2 characters with different roles.
is there any chance of a configurable homepage ? If we could configure the profile homepage (eveonline.com - not the launcher) i think that would be epic. I want to have info on PLEX, news, recruiting new players and renewing my account. I dont log on to the website for any other reason.
Cheers Guys. |

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. |

have you tried opening the launcher to let it patch, then closing it and starting via the exefile? |

I, like many others, have been playing this game for a long time.
Over the years, there have been countless occasions like this, where CCP ignore feedback on the test forums and bring a bag of crap onto TQ regardless.
Each time this happens, it takes away some respect I have for CCP, and there really is not much left at this point. In fact, there is none left. They are a bunch of egotistical, arrogant fools who refuse to learn by each monumental **** up they produce. They really do not give a ****.
It will not take much more for me to cancel my 8 accounts and finally walk away. It will hurt after all this time, but I will do it. If the upcoming patch is a disaster, that may be the end. I love this game, but as many have said, a person can only take so much of this crap before it really becomes such a chore that it isnGÇÖt worth it anymore.
Before you ask, when (as itGÇÖs seems to be only a matter of time) I walk away, no one will have my stuff... I have lots and lots of it and it will get biomassed along with my 24 characters.

Besides all the main issues. Found this today.
Was playing. went to switch to an alt (pain in the ass now) clicked on play and then get the windows is working icon, then the launcher buttons for playing disappear. Close and restart launcher still no buttons for play, enter username, etc. so go to settings and click eve repair tool, repair tool starts and tells me to close the launcher. Did you guys really not program the launcher to close itself so it could update? I had to go to task mgr and do it manually, and why were there two launchers running when i only started once instance of it? it also said update available??? I thought updates were supposed to roll out automatically??? now i have to hit repair tool for it to update? Seriously, quit ******* with **** that doesn't need it and work on things that do.
EDIT to add
JUST had the repair tool halfway thru, 5 minutes or so, and then gave an error and close. Nice job breaking the game WITH THE ******* LOGIN ffs |

Use ExeFile.exe But for how long? It is already announced that this login method will be taken away in the near future.
And that is exactly the reason why the whole launcher business is such a pain in my sensible body parts. If it wasn't for the announcement to remove the in-game login screen, I would have trashed the launcher already and move to exefile right away.
But I am afraid that will not work for long. |

1) why the launcher continues to run after the game has launched
2) why 2 instances for 1 instance of the game
Even more important is the question why the two launcher instances do not terminate when you close the launcher window. On WinXP the window disappears, but the launcher.exe processes continue to run and consume hundreds of MB of RAM (for what exactly?? Damn it just shows a stupid website....). Even worse, if you click the EvE icon stuff starts AGAIN - yes, that 4 launcher.exe processes running consuming even more RAM. The only way to terminate them is to KILL the processes in the task manager....
It is so obvious that this has never been tested. Glitches might slip through QA. Webserver fail is bad luck. But the program not terminating is serious software FAIL. Furthermore, having a program that checks the version and files of another program and presents a small website SHOULD NOT NEED TO EAT 80 MB RAM!!!
I mean WTF were they thinking? |

Yay! Spent half an hour on Tuesday figuring out how to bypass the launcher so that I can play EVE. Then, two days later, get a new patch that once again renders me unable to log in.
I never would have thought I would threaten to unsub over the launcher. But I'm rapidly emptying my reserve of time I'm willing to (or can afford to) spend doing tech support in order to play this game. So, I mean, I guess if it's still not working when my sub comes due, I can't imagine choosing to pay for a game I can't play. |

It's not so much the launcher (which is a show stopper in and of itself) but rather the blatant indifference by the devs about SERIOUS problems with it. We got the same crap from them last year when they borked the inventory system to hell and back.
Players: THIS IS CRAP AND DOESN'T WORK!
CCP: Here, we gave you a stupid Autoplay checkbox that lets you start watching the "Launching..." thing faster. You now don't have to wait as long to start waiting. Deal with it and STFU...
They miss the entire point almost as a matter of course. It's like they avoid fixing the real issues like having to wait 15 seconds to log in another account on purpose then tell us it's our fault.

And now they release a new patch which didn't really fix any of the problems. It still takes forever to validate, it still looks ugly, and still everyone hates it. Just ******* get rid of this launcher business, I'm sorry that it makes it harder to homogenize your game when you outsource your coding to an Icelandic slum village, but tough *******. |

You have to wonder why any company would force through a change like this so close to another MAJOR change to the game......
unless of course the Odyssey Patch has elements that actually require this Launcher SSO configuration to work ......
in which case, we may have a Launcher that doesnt work, that is responsible for adding in any major content patches that it has so far managed to make a mess of handling, that then may not be fully functional in time for the next even larger content patch on 4th of June.........

If I use the direct eve.exe, I'm straight in with a quick right click paste.

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?).

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.

Get off your ass and push to keep it working. Be useful for once. If it wasn't for this fall back 10k's of customers would have been screwed over (in some cases continuing to be) for the past two days.

REASON: CCP IS GOING IN THE SAME DIRECTION AS BLIZZARD.... INTO OBLIVION... if they remove the exefile way of logging in on June 4th and this new launcher still isnt sorted, Eve will officially be dead as far as my accounts are concerned.
EVE would loose 50% of their users over night and the rest would drop out in the month after due to boredom since there'd be no skilled players left. I'd definitely leave if the exe-option were to disappear.

Follow me:
1) Rabid need to deploy this piece of crook. Why?
2) It makes us see no fancy awesome log in screen any longer.
Deduction:
CCP to save on money never designed and coded a log in screen for Odyssey so now they MUST push this steaming pile on us, otherwise they can't deliver the "expansion" in time as it lacks hundreds of man hours worth of a new log in screen.

Constructive Feedback? Ok here-
1) In honour of your new Single Sign On protocol, I suggest you change your name from CCP to SSO
-Oh, that means Sony's Sockpuppets Online
2) Since you don't listen to anyone anyway, I suggest you form your own city in Iceland so you don't have to follow any Reykjavik policies or pay them taxes.
- Might I suggest you name it Borkjavik in honour of your stellar patch history?
3) The New Sony Sockpuppets Online corp based in Borkjavik, Iceland should adopt this as it's corporate Logo:
- New Corporate Logo
There. Three constructive ideas and only 2 criticisms. Does that count as constructive ffedback? |

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.

TL:DR - Non-constructive criticism.
This new launcher is pure horror! What on Earth made you remove the login screen?? Come on CCP, you can do better than that, even when you have the DERP period on (as it seems).

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.

When I started up today, my launcher didn't update.

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.

Not being critical of your offered solutions but this is the very functionality that CCP is currently showing everyone that they want to get rid of, shame really as running between six and ten accounts needed some days for Corp work will become impossible if they continue along this route.
Question for the day though will be: CCP please explain why you feel that this current log in procedure is required.?? |

Hey guys,
Forgive me if I missed something, but my launcher is still running in offline mode.
Troubleshooting:
- - Ran EVEfile.exe (from the bin folder) which prompted me for an update at the login screen that I accepted and downloaded w/o issue.
- Ran repairer.exe which supposedly completed and repaired the build successfully.
Again, please forgive me if I missed the solution somewhere within this massive thread... It's just that I'm actually at work and would love to play EVE on my lunch break!
Thanks in advance,

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
Screenshot.

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.

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).

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). ScreenshotPhase 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. Screenshot.
CCP, For the love of god do this!

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.

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. :)

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. \o/ Edit: I'm looking into this now, if I can get a fix, I'll roll it to Singularity.
That was the case for me from day one. I run 1 acct. from 1 install and 5 from another on a different partition. I has saved the 5 I have there with this method. Just remember to close the launcher when finished.

perhaps making this thing work first would be better...
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:
screen1
screen2
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.
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.... |

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. do all your accounts have the same gfx settings?
No. I can change them, they remember separate OV settings sound ect....

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 ?

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.

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.

Now I am completely lost.
People are talking about a launcher upgrade that fixes some of the issues. I obviously don't have it because my launcher works exactly as poorly as it did yesterday.
Are you talking about something that is available on SISI, or does this new patch have to be downloaded manually? |

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.

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.

Hey everyone.
CCP Atropos has posted a round-up thread in GD which is intended to be the place where we will continue this discussion with a focus on solutions and improvements that will be rolled out in the coming days and weeks.
