For the account that i'm posting from, this character has the highest skillpoints total. It is NOT however the one currently being worked on. I'm not training on this character because my focus is on another toon. Is there any way to put the points where I actually want them to be ? If not, thats ok. I'm just asking.
I'm afraid not. It would hugely complicate the matter if we were to make changes for individuals and it's not possible right now. Sorry :P CCP Guard | EVE Community Developer |-á@ccp_guard |

I would like to talk about the login screen and the way you neglect it with this new launcher.
Simply, ask you how and why you could even consider removing it!
For each new expansion you've made a new login screen, with really sweet visuals and new music two times per year.
Sometimes before i login i just sit and listen to the whole track and sink into the background of deep space, to get in a good mood before i play.
Here's a couple of old login screens which were just magnificent :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6N2-Vj2Jgo&list=PLTHUDwpXdP7g394tOZwjEFIZHEl98zOYl
Actually one of the things i've been looking forward to in Oddysey is to get a new background with some dark exploration themed music to get spaced out before i play.
And now i get this new launcher and its gone?
Type in your userinfo in a boring box without any music, and then just end up logged in? Its stupid!
Please think about this guys. |

turn off the auto close launcher option. then when you restart the launcher the next time it will have saved it and you can turn auto close back on. |

^^^^ 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.
(To be honest, I can understand how it can be pretty demoralising for something you've worked on to get bypassed by a bunch of people [practically everyone I know in-game is launching from \bin\], but this really does represent a step back in terms of functionality.) I'd also like a reply to this issue. Having to wait several seconds for the "Launching..." button to revert back to "Play" so we can launch another client is quite ridiculous. What are you thoughts on how this can be resolved?
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOr you can avoid all those steps by logging in to a charactor then logging out and "pinning" the resulting loggin screen to your taskbar(assuming you have win 7 or 8). And then right clicking the new icon and selecting the ccp.exe file for however many clients you need.(this is what i do to bypass the whole launcher and its legal too!) |

I assume you mean the EVE exe that can be accessed through directory EVE/bin/ExeFile.exe - in which case don't worry, CCP Atropos has already promised to remove that at a later, unspecified date. Joke's on us!
At least I hope CCP exec.s can see who doesn't need a salary if this actually hurts the bottom line. |

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 |

Im playing on a mac and i just got home today, i launched eve and it said "New build to download". I did download the new build just at the log on screen and it said that it would restart and start update, but the thing is it doesn't start or even update. What shall i do? Everytime i start EVE i get the same thing. "New build downloaded, EVE is going to restart and start to update".
Im confused, what's going on? How can i fix this? With great responsibility comes great DPS.-á |

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. |

Adding a few -ó here I've been having some problems as a Mac user with the launcher running but game client either appearing in the dock with no active window (5 minutes later had to force quit the icon) or immediately dying (dock icon flashes in and out of existence). Yesterday it took four tries to get the game to launch. :(
I'll see if I can shell script direct wine execution of the primary EXE tonight. |

Sorry :P I personally think the sp should have been applied to the training pilot, but I appreciate the free sp and the gesture from CCP nonetheless. It shows that you guys are trying to smooth over a very bumpy past few days.

I'll see if I can shell script direct wine execution of the primary EXE tonight. I've had this issue as well, and it happens normally when I've had to force quit the client for not responding (that aggravating bug where you click jump or whatever but nothing happens). After I force quit for this, I try and restart but the launcher doesn't even appear; it "launches" (the dock icon) and immediately quits. I have to end up restarting my computer. I don't think this is related to the launcher issues in this thread, however, since we haven't gotten an updated launcher yet, Draleth. |

Nice that the launcher has the auto-play checkbox. Now, how about making the launcher work? I still can't get the launcher to progress past Step 3/4 and when I close the launcher, it still leaves ghost processess running.
Thank God I can still use eve.exe.
What happens when that's removed and the launcher is still borked? |

From a practical point of view, i've already posted my opinion on the launcher here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3063540#post3063540
But now that i've seen the ugly look&feel of the new launcher, i felt the urge to clarify: I want to play a game that looks mature, not some Kindergarten-app! http://dl.eve-files.com/media/1305/launcher.png
Pretty please, leave us the possibilty to bypass this thing and don't ever "improve" the old login, thanks. |

Its so in the future they can add other buttons, like "Test server" (connects to Sisi) "Chat" (Just gives you the chat window) "Trade" (Just gives you the tools to manage orders and station inventory), "Talk" (just Eve voice), "Skills" (Just lets you do your skill tree) and so on. Many of these would be enabled for both PC and mobile devices. In the future entering your credentials will not be sufficient to show your intention as to what you want to do, as there will be many things to do.
Now, what they could do is have all those buttons show up as soon as a password is typed in. Then instead of having to type in a password, hit Enter, then click a button, you just type your password and click a button.
And this is where the problem is. Honestly, I do not see why any of these "features" are necessary or how they can be helpful. If it is not helpful, do not implement it.
The sole purpose of a launcher is to check the intstallation and update it if necessary. Without a launcher there is the need to first load the game in order to to realize you have to shut it down right away in order to update it. That is, obviously, not good. Anything else is simply not helpful, because anything else will necessarily increase the amount of actions that must be taken in order to play the game. But in 99.9% playing the game is exactly what you want to do if you start the launcher.
So yes, I am not against the launcher. I am against it being transmorphed into some strange "you can do it all with the launcher"-Command Center. Nobody needs that. Nobody wants that. I can live with the fact that we are to login with the Launcher because of SSO, but this should not make it virtually impossible to muli-box. I can even live with the fact that the iconic login screen of EVE is about to go - which is a pitty. However, the possibilty to still have an iconic character selection screen would remedy this situation and would also settle that topic for me.
Please do not get me wrong. All the possibilities you mentioned are creative and maybe worth thinking about, but in the end it all comes down to the question whether it is necessary or not. In this case it is not, and therefore, should not be implemented.

They've talked about putting things like fitting tools and skill queue updating on the official EVE site. Still not interested in ever logging in?
Personally, I have no problem with CCP building towards the future, as long as they don't lose sight of the present; e.g., even though I only have three accounts, this launcher does not sound like a step forward for me. Maybe eventually it will be? Proud founder and member of the Belligerent Desirables. |

All right, so the Grand Venerable Game Master Spiral, the benevolent guardian saint of skill trainers and protector of all that is good in this world, came to talk to me and apparently the Game Masters will be looking at the possibility of moving skill points between characters for those that petition it. This will only be considered for characters located on the same account. Hug a GM today.

Well, obviously you're trying really hard to apologize for all the problems the launcher caused and i really like that. So, after all that complaining from my side, i just wanted to thank you for the 50k sp and all that effort to set things right. Good guy CCP. Now give yourself a hug and then get back to work :P |

Yay skillpoints. I'm far less interested in a day's worth of SP and far more interested in being able to easily log in to my four accounts every day from now on.
Not to sound ungrateful, but it worries the crap out of me that the only CCP involvement I've seen in these threads is either placating or talking about feel-good moves for a subset of your effected playerbase. |

My 'Launcher' xmas list:
Make it easy for me to launch my accounts, not harder like was just done. Instead of a drop down list of accounts, give me a checkbox with a icon'd list of accounts - think character selection screen. As i check the box, let me enter a password next to the account icon. I'd really like a save password option too. Let there be a single time i click 'Launch' to fire up the selected accounts. Ready for the grand finale?
Save each account's Display Settings (Audio too plz). No longer will have to move each account to my multiple monitor setup, also changing res/graphic settings for each. They will just return to how they were when i last logged off.
I appreciate the 'mea culpa' from CCP with the gift of a day's training. But the fact of the matter is something like this never should have happened. Zero excuse for screwing with your customers because someone/group didn't do their job. Your customers are why you are in business. A rushed/botched update that no one wanted managed to anger the lot. Take some lessons from this and move forward. |

Is this thread also being closed down after 134 pages of playerbase rejection of the launcher or even earlier?
It is really nasty if you have an ongoing discussion for a few pages where no CCP response is give to just have the thread closed and opened somewhere else.
What is the point in discussing with the players if there is no space for change of plans.
For me it looks like the plan of the launcher is followed through, no matter what the players think. And that makes me think.
I can not log on my character with the new launcher. Period. It is not user friendly and does not account for multiple accounts and computers.
I think it is best to go to a monthly subscription plan to be able to react when you can not log on anymore.
This is just insane. I'd rather play the game than discuss this stuff in the forums.
But you force me to discuss this stuff in the forums. I do not like this force on me. |
