as I only want the game client on my pc. I do not want some bloated sales tool You can, yes. The old login method still exists for the moment, however with login moved into the EVE Launcher then the concept of the old login screen simply doesn't make sense. I agree that the old login screen was iconic, and I understand the passion with which many people have objected to it's deprecation. We've been discussing this quite extensively amongst the teams involved and we have some ideas that mesh with the move of login to the EVE Launcher and the desire to have an immersive experience akin to the current one. Somebody posted some pretty tantalising ideas/concept art for a revamped character screen that were very intriguing; maybe someone with better forum search skills than I can find them and repost the link. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3072465#post3072465 |

I too am getting Ghost Launcher processes on my WIN XP computer. It seems that CCP is ignoring both of our concerns and is more interested in providing social media support and throwing out 50k SP as hush money than actually addressing our concerns. What say you CCP? Can we expect the promised SSO functionality on the new launcher, or at least the ability of the launcher to stop all it's processes when we close it? I'm currently updating one of the opening posts with current known issues and this is one of them. I can only post in one place at a time though Edit: regarding the SSO functionality you've asked about before: I replied to you here. The issues I was having on sisi possible with this issue was with a Win7 machine. |

Could you just borrow his code and all would be well or now that a player has coded it will it take longer for same functionality to reach the launcher.
His launcher was going to be brought up some time might as well be ahead of the issue. |

His launcher was going to be brought up some time might as well be ahead of the issue. Most of the features that are in the linked thread were on our backlog except the storage of passwords. Password storage wasn't done in the EVE client for security reasons and we don't do it in the EVE Launcher for those same reasons. As for when, I can't really say. I also would not like to comment on the code; primarily because it could be misconstrued as some sort of official support or endorsement or the code, project and initiative. Thanks just getting it on the record. |

When I hear SSO I think yay I can sign into a master account interface select the computer template I am logging into and EVE will launch with the same setup I had when I closed it down. Sounds like great use of the CREST interface to me. |

A slimmed down expert user version should be generated. People will complain until its part of the launcher. |

Which it so far hasnt. I find those launcher ads unattractive and hardly noticeable in comparison to old login screen one-time advertisements. OFC only CCP have click metrics and they may show other picture, but I still think that launcher ads will have less informative value than old splashes. They really need a chat channel linked to the location information menu that they can use for live events, in eve announcements and dev blog information awareness. That would get some back lash also however. |

Bugs that are identified with an easy to reproduce cause are fixed quickly. The ones that a dev cant find right away that effect smaller amounts of people require clear repro cases and if the devs do not get them yes they do not get fixed. |

I am getting timed out trying to log in to the server. With a new launcher it kicks over to the old log in screen and a logging in failed message shows up "
Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong."
Its not a launcher issue but I am getting status and server unknown return and having to wait for the info to show up so logging in will finish up. then the token times out some times. This just started over the last two days. |
