valthyr Legion of Darkwind Order of the Void 5	Posted - 2013.05.21 20:09:00 - [1] - Quote I just want to take a moment and acknowledge the fact that the new launcher sucks space balls. Not only has it been a pain in the arse to sign in, but now I have to reconfigure settings, views, overviews and everything else across multiple accounts. So thank you CCP for giving me a day of eve where I am not actually going to be able to play since I will be fixing everything.
Svodola Darkfury Heaven's End League of Infamy 181	Posted - 2013.05.21 21:15:00 - [2] - Quote I'm having a difficult time seeing how this is an improvement over the old launcher as well. It takes me longer to launch multiple accounts, it "validates the install" EVERY time it opens, COMPLETELY, meaning it takes 3-4 minutes every time you open the launcher. Take this across 4-9 accounts and that's a lot of waiting. Svo.
Alice Maxwell Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 0	Posted - 2013.05.21 21:19:00 - [3] - Quote This is when I learned to stop using the launcher and love the .exe file

CCP Atropos C C P C C P Alliance 243	Posted - 2013.05.21 21:43:00 - [4] - Quote Regarding your reconfiguring of settings, did you try restarting the EVE Launcher and checking to see if the client loaded your settings correctly? Product Owner, EVE Launcher \| Team Special Circumstances

Monorii Task Force Overlord The Atmosphere 8	Posted - 2013.05.21 21:58:00 - [5] - Quote CCP Atropos, While I want to point out that I do in fact admire all the hard work you put into this new launcher, I have to wonder and be critical on it, what is going to happen with our beloved login screens from Oddissey onwards? And login music? I'm tempted to just bypass the launcher altogether from now on and launch the exefile directly.

If the launcher SSO and the loss of "only display launcher if a patch" is anything to go by I would be not much longer Live on Eve Radio Wednesdays 20:00 GMT with me & friends blabbering on about Eve and stuff-áFollow me on twitter http://twitter.com/WigglesGRN, like me on facebook http://facebook.com/wigglesGRN or check out my blog http://wiggles.gamingradio.net/blog
Blake Bathana True Companions 0	Posted - 2013.05.21 22:22:00 - [7] - Quote The new launcher the worst update CCP has done I'v had to delete Eve, and download and reinstall the hole game again took over 2 hours, running the iMac 27" and it is still playing up I'm getting frame freeze every now and again so its a restart. come on CCP get your act together
Frenghiz Khan Lazarus Triumvirate Insidious Empire 0	Posted - 2013.05.22 19:35:00 - [8] - Quote It is indeed the most annoying and worst 'update' so far. What was wrong with the old launcher? Right, nothing.. I quit one alt to log in again and it fails to get me online now. Really terrible judgement from CCP, there was no need to create this 'update'. Thanks for wasting my Eve time and money. Make up for this ASAP
DogTyred PILGRIMS Insane Asylum 3	Posted - 2013.05.22 20:12:00 - [9] - Quote I had been concerned after recent patches that CCP had managed to build a relationship with it's playbase that included considering the needs of the players and acting on feedback received regarding it's regigorous testing of patches. It's good to see that my fears were unfounded and indeed CCP are still the idiots I remember from days of old..
Chloe Celeste Disciples of Acheron 40	Posted - 2013.05.22 20:31:00 - [10] - Quote CCP -- Why is it when I run the Eve Client through the launcher all the login text writes on top of itself through 98% of the loading screen and takes a bit longer to fully login but when I run the Eve Client directly in the "bin" folder it loads quicker and does not write text on top of text during login?

Firia O'Flame Merch Industrial Goonswarm Federation 4	Posted - 2013.05.22 20:47:00 - [11] - Quote My launcher updated, and now the launcher will not launch. Again, I double click the launcher icon, and the launcher will not open up.
z Flint Applied Creations The Fendahlian Collective 15	Posted - 2013.05.22 20:56:00 - [12] - Quote The new "updated" launcher "sucks". To run multiple accounts takes longer. If one account "DC" (disconnects) you still get the restart or quit screen, but when you hit restart, you have to close the launcher and restart the 5 min log in again. Really poor upgrade
NuckenFutz Bushwood Country Club 7	Posted - 2013.05.22 23:46:00 - [13] - Quote I am also getting the issue, DC causes major issues (restart will not work, launcher has to be closed, I keep getting asked to accept the terms among other issues), Multiple accounts logins suck. Overall the worst update since the launcher was implemented. Do us all a favor and get rid of it.
Dyner Midgard Protectorate 120	Posted - 2013.05.23 00:49:00 - [14] - Quote -Why is the Launcher's animations so ******* laggy +I got the EULA agreement and it: slowly..spans..out..and..then..when..i..click..Accept..it..slowly..closes..and..displays..the..Play..button. +Clicking on the three yellow circles that, atm, cycle between EVE Universe Origitns, EVE Collector's Edition, and Dust 514 Launches. It again lags with each cycle. But the automated cycle-through is nice and smooth. -Why is the the scroll bar for 'Latest News' causes me to highlight sections of the launcher while dragging the SCROLL BAR
Latia Merch Industrial Goonswarm Federation 0	Posted - 2013.05.23 01:33:00 - [15] - Quote I have to agree that for those of us running multiple accounts this is a real downgrade. z Flint wrote: The new "updated" launcher "sucks".

Saelie Republic Military School Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2013.05.23 06:27:00 - [16] - Quote I hate how the new launcher FULLY validates the client installation every single time. If I'm just logging in to do PI, check my mail, or change a skill, this verification can take much longer than the time I'll actually spend ingame. In fact, I just tested this out - Pitting the launcher against the EXE, I was able to load the EXE file, log in, finish my six planets' worth of PI, and come back here to post about it before the launcher finished validating. This is madness and something needs to be done.

I did infact try to restart the launcher, however none of my settings were there it appears that in someones haste to roll out the new launcher, or the subsequent patch that was released shortly after, they couldn't be arsed to verify that that the game/launcher was still using the same directory for settings. As it turns out the new launcher/game creates a new directory for the settings nad prefrences, so after hours of fumbling around before i finally stumbled on this little tid bit all i had to do was copy the settings from the old directory to the new and the issue was resolved. However with this new Luancher/patch we have lost the abilty to log out and return to the log in screen without completely closing the game and starting again. Which I must say is a real pain in the arse if you need to change toons. Any chance we can get a button added to the ingame settings menu that returns us to the character selection screen?
Shubinkin3 Perkone Caldari State 0	Posted - 2013.05.23 11:47:00 - [18] - Quote I rarely, if ever, come here, I let the game get better and worse and just deal with. However. THIS NEW LAUNCHER SUCKS CAMEL *********. Was it never tested in a multi account situation? Come on guys.
Nott Patro Firesworn Enterprises Firesworn Nation 0	Posted - 2013.05.23 12:00:00 - [19] - Quote I can't even log on anymore. I had to download an update via the exe file, and it seems to have broken my exe and launcher, as everytime I try and update the game, it never changes anything. Locked out of the game due to not being 1.2.5 though. I'm gonna hop on the controversy bandwagon. Was there really any need to change the launcher?
Karzie Royal Amarr Institute Amarr Empire 4	Posted - 2013.05.23 12:12:00 - [20] - Quote I hate the new launcher, as others have said its SO DAMN SLOW opening multiple accounts. On my Dual core system which is running XP and I only use for Eve, The launcher doesn't shut down properly. I have to alt+ctrl+del to get into the windows task manager to find it under Processes and close it. If I don't I cant launch it again to update skills on other characters, and it also slows the system if I leave it running. BTW can you please add a "Are you really really sure you want to play Eve", because having to click play after I have put in my user name and password to play Eve is damn annoying.

javer 4S Corporation RAZOR Alliance 1	Posted - 2013.05.23 13:43:00 - [21] - Quote point 1: someone at ccp failed at quality controll ! gee whats new some still rememer boot.ini why do we wanna use a loader that takes 5-15sec to do nothing new when the old exe was close to instant? point 2: advertising other products/plex in a pay 2 play game this is the one thats pissing me off the most, i dont wanna load up xxx amounts of cruddy commercial pictures showing what i should buy before i can get into the ******* game, shape up ffs we do pay for the ability to play so trying to wring more money out of us is poor customer service in the extreme a simple patcher that pops up only when needed and ability to click eve icon and get my game up inside a normal time without having to wait for the server to play with itself to check updates, new commercialls and abuse the hdd to checksum the files at will is that to much to ask? point 3: keep your focus on providing the game not the craptacular extra features point 4: enabling torrents every time you change the patcher(blackholes my connection due to isp blocking)
Dyner Midgard Protectorate 120	Posted - 2013.05.24 16:52:00 - [22] - Quote javer wrote: -snip- Better would be a launcher that supports multi-client setups. That would actually allow you to save settings for each client. Or clone them to others. -Like I run 5 clients on two monitors. Main client has everything on max and is Windowed (Maximized). Other four are lowest settings and sized to fit all four on the second monitor. +I HAVE TO REMEMBER TO EXIT OUT OF THE MAIN ONE LAST OR THE SETTINGS GET ALL DICKED UP! Because the game only "remembers" the last client settings. -or- I have to run multiple client copies and crap like that. Side note, but related to launcher. When are we going to see an EVE Online Authenticator options...preferably using Google Authenticator...not some game-specific app like Blizzard's, SWTOR's, or RIFT's. Really would like to not have such a long-ass password. PS: CCP, you really need to explain why when I click on the "EVE TV" button the Latest News section 'jerks' as it opens (or closes). That transition should be snappy.
Amarth X Global Economy Experts Stellar Economy Experts 0	Posted - 2013.05.24 17:38:00 - [23] - Quote Welcome to any EVE patch ever released. "The source code finally compiles!" "Wow, ship it quick before the compiler changes its mind!" "Should we not test it first?" "Test? What do you mean? It compiles. Ship it."
Malkoovian Astromechanica Maxima Astromechanica Federatis 0	Posted - 2013.05.24 20:00:00 - [24] - Quote Fully agree that the new launcher sucks, in addition to the issues mentionned above it will not terminate meaning I have to kill the process via taskmanager in order to restart EVE. How can such rubbish make it to production? Seriously?
NuckenFutz Bushwood Country Club 7	Posted - 2013.05.26 03:03:00 - [25] - Quote New day same old launcher issues. Can we please just go back to the old one? Its painstaking to even switch chars on the same account. You have to launch the client all over again...... idiotic.
Jauheliha Dreddit Test Alliance Please Ignore 1	Posted - 2013.05.26 12:13:00 - [26] - Quote I have noticed that the new launcher does not close when the game closes. It remains in the processes list and prevents running the launcher again... (It just adds more "launcher" processes but no windows pops up)
Nightlund Audeles The Halcyon Directive Electus Matari 67	Posted - 2013.05.28 06:05:00 - [27] - Quote CCP pulled an Arena Net on us with this launcher. Reminds me of GW2. Bring back the login screen CCP! You have done it for ten years and you have a lot of people wanting it back. We pay your salaries and your bills so don't forget that.
Meyiza Heer 4	Posted - 2013.07.11 14:02:00 - [28] - Quote New launcher is rubbish. It doesn't remember either account names, and I can't paste my password in so have to key it every time. Don't know if it's just my machine but there is no 'log off' button in the Esc menu now either, so the game has to be quit and relaunched. I've reset the caches but it's still dogs b@lls. So frustrating, coming up to 4 years playing this game and just wonder who you are trying to engage with, people who don't mind keying their account names EACH time they launch, and keying their password because they enjoy that crap too.
Vincent Athena V.I.C.E. Aegis Solaris 2017	Posted - 2013.07.11 18:34:00 - [29] - Quote It was just found that, at least for the Mac, you can select your password saved in a text file and drag and drop it into the password field of the launcher. Does this work on a PC? http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/

Which launcher version are you running? Are you starting the launcher with administrator privileges? Are you starting the launcher from a shortcut that you pinned to the taskbar?
