Although i prefer to be asocial and stay away as far as possible from facepalmbook, twatter and all the other wubbish they ffer as " social media" i prefer social media to be live human being. If you can get those on the launcher id be happy, but for now ill settle for a hologram....
Seriously, if u want facvebook, i know where to find it. If i want twitter, yeah i know where to find it too. If i want EVE ONLINE, i also know where to find it... Right there, on my desktop, as top priority game (the only one actualy who made it ON the desktop). For now i run my eve clients on a 5 year old PC who is happy munching away with 2 clients under linux to keep my gameplay normal and decent.
As your launcher, being as buggy as it is, showed me it works on HTML it should also be possible to launch our client trough the commandline directly, with the fancy use of an EVE (Or even better character portrait) portal.
Is it at all possible to make your currently not working thingie into something usefull so we can actualy enjoy EVE ONline? The one thing i do pay for...
And yes, seeing my char`s pics on my desktop to click on, Even if it looked like a non memory consuming widget sounds a lot more fun to me than this new launcher.
This game used to be unique in its game design and artistic preformance by its makers. Yes thats you CCP, but lately, it feels like the challange gets removed, the " we dare" is removed from your developers more and more.
Dare to develop something stunning that you can use from a desktop, from the applications you want to launch your game from (wich i know is why u do this) and offer us something amazing, not something crappy... |

Atpros, if you remove that function, id hope you got your launcher working for linuxc and mac users too.
Im not evil tempered but ill be majorly pissed off if u lock me out of eve becouse i run linux or smackintosh, since those clients are still messed up. ( see WineHQ if u dont beleave me) |

Atropos,
i know you do not support Linux (anymore) and that CC{ only loves the bigger brands being Apple and Windows. That is not my problem, your client works fine for what i want to play in EVE and i do not mind not having to walk in stations, as that was a part of the game i did not like anyways because it is not usefull to my gameplay.
The only thing that currently keeps us Linux users happy is your ancient launcher from the past that keeps working without hickups. The same launcher that is currently saving " your behind" on many occasions to fix problems someone made whilst coding that did not show on SiSi.
You do know that your own Eula " as explained in a dev blog" forbids people to change, modify, or add code to the gameplay of EVE, yet you tell me to go look into doing something your Eula does clearly not allow?
All i asked for is that you do not break the ability of Linux users to login to the game, aka " do not break what is not broken" without giving us a solution to code our own way.
As far as i know youve done that in the past.. Why not continue that in the present and future? Perhaps we could even get walking in stations fixed, if we knew what is going wrong with that. (it worked before) |

CCP TheRambler wrote:Hi, we just deployed to TQ the new version of the launcher webpage that among other things adds the "Auto play" feature. If you see the checkbox but the client still doesn't automatically start, please clear your cache and try again
Thanks!
Yes it worked once. Then, after killing my client and relaunching the wonderfull new launcher i keep getting:
Error -7 when loading url https://login.eveonline.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=eveLauncherTQ&lang=en&response_type=token&redirect_uri=https://login.eveonline.com/launcher?client_id=eveLauncherTQ&scope=eveC
(and this repeats after clearing cache file, repairing client, changing launcher languages to reload your client, relaunching it swacking it with a hammer, using bad language and loads more.)
And a wonderfull blank screen. Just as i was about to type " Good Job well done" i will now send you back to the drawingboard...
Trough the alternative way from the program files \ EVE \ BIN \ exefile . exe the client still works fine. So for now ill ajust my desktop shortcuts to work as it should work, with traditional login and without the development software.
Please let us know when we can try again to see if the magic works |

The linux users workaround, how to get all the great futures back the windows users want but Linux style....
Make a copy of your " eve launcher" tumbnail on your desktop.
Edit its properties
Change the command line to:
wine explorer /desktop=eveB,1800x1000 "c:\program files (x86)\ccp\eve\bin\exefile.exe" wine explorer
Where the resolution behind desktop is the resolution you want to play in (you can use fullscreen if you do not want double borders in this bix in the EVE client) My resolution sais 1800 x 1000, but change to forfill your needs
Verify the path to the " old launcher" is correct for your installation. In case of a 32 bit version of Linux you need to remove the (x86) from the path
Change the name of the window, mine is called eveB in this case to however you want to call your window. If you want multiple windows, save after changes are made, copy this tumbnail on your desktop and edid the window name to suit your need and client pile you want to launch.
Good luck on fixing your gameplay, AND using a smaller memory print than with this launcher. |

Now all you need is a select wich accounts you want button (default all on or off) and your well on your way. News feeds you can easely pull of CCP~s RRS chhannels so thats fixed. Maybe these guys should give u a big hug..... |

2.1.5.39.169 should be the notworking buggy version of the launcher on your screen. Combined with error message
Error -7 when loading url https://login.eveonline.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=eveLauncherTQ&lang=en&response_type=token&redirect_uri=https://login.eveonline.com/launcher?client_id=eveLauncherTQ&scope=eve

Perhaps a " yes we think this is a good idea / crap idea / not misuse of code according to eula ???? (At least that is the answer i personaly hope to see on this question) |

Well of all the magic wonders CCP has introduced to EVE, this gotta be by far the crappiest one.
This Launcher thing still does not work and i am getting bored to **** writing about it to see if there finaly is a fix.
Since Monday the 21st ive been trying to get this piece of Scrap-ware working day by day, and all i get is the same stupid window full of commercials but without the ability to login more than once every 35 attempts
So, until you as mighty CCP have decided to post something useful about this piece of Scra-ware, i will no longer post feedback, stop helping you to fix the damn bugs, and if it continues or block my ability to login becoz u removed the old launcher, i will stop paying to. |

After a nice chat in game with one of the Developers (yes they do talk there ive just learned) i stand corrected about my assumption there was a bit of Code on the CCP side that did not go well with Wine. Since i prefer to be hones, id like to try and explain what goes wrong with the " error code 7" messages the launcher gave me whilst running EVE online trough its freshly designed launcher.
The fresh launcher uses a lot of HTML code to provide you with a fresh new login page. However, since you do not want to send your passwords insecure over the internet, the login box and password box use secure html, u know that as Https:// when u type that in your browser.
This part of coding is handled of by Chromium (under wine) to launch the game. But there seems to be a evil Bug there that the certificates, to verify your connection, appear not to be loaded / parked correctly for the system to accept the necessary bit of code for the launcher to work.
As this part of (detailed info) was not known by me when i posted my previous post, and got known to me afterwards
Thanks to the Dev. for pointing this out and clarifying the problem. Glad to see you people are still out there reading the posts and trying to help us out. |

This application should start if you launch it directly. from the EVE folders
program files/ccp/eve/repair.exe or for 32 bit machines. program files (x86)/ccp/eve/repair.exe or for 64 bit machines /home/username/.wine/drive_c/ see above for the rest of the path For Linux 32 and 64 bit machines
(sorry i dont know macintosh)
The manual way to add the latest patch is described above by the Dev. |

Well, a new wine, a new update so id thought id upgrade my feedback on this launchaholic quest :)
My wine has (since today) updated to version 1.5.31 and now i am experiencing a bug with the client update of today as well. Its a kind of funny bug as the launcher shows itsself in grayscale with the pictures not loaded. BUT for about 50% of the time i can actualy see my login and password box.
Looks like were getting somewhere.
This issue i have been able to reproduce several times as i tried to fix my client by emptying out all caqche items (clear all cached data). The client will want to verify itsself (that takes ages, even on a SSD) but a few more times i seem to be able to see the launch box again.
Maybe someone is capable of reproducing what i see on my screen and able to help us linux huggers to get this launcher fixed? |
