I hope CCP has fixed the crap launcher to at least paste Passwords into the Password-Field of this pita.
Very funny to enter complex password manually ... not.

I have given it a whirl .... no paste possible into the password-field. well done.
After that i wasnt in the mood to give it a second "whirl" after the experience with the windows-launcher ....
I, on my part, expect that the launcher will go live on thursday with this bug known since day 1 of it.
Thank you for your attention to bug reports from customer.
But hey, must be rocket science .... |

Yeah, that was a nice joke from "CCP Atropos" ..... i wanted to give it a last try the day before "go live" also and Singularity is not accessible .... very funny.
But at least it loaded a launcher update aaaand tadaaaaa, still no paste possible into neither the username nor the password-field and it still does not save the last userlogin. But hey, why should mac-users the fate of the windows-user be spared ... a crap-launcher that no user wanted or need ..... |

Hi!
CCP Atropos wrote: I just went through the bug reports that I've received and haven't been able to find one filed by your user, so you seem to be assuming that somebody else filed this. The inability to paste in using the right click menu is known about, however the issue you talk about, which appears to rather be the inability to paste in using the keyboard shortcuts, is new to me; there are no bug reports that I can find that mention this issue.
So, CCP DO know about the issue with pasting to input-fields? If its done by right-clicking and a menu or CMD+C and CMD+V is up to the OS, but decided for a "go live" it seems, where users with the security of their accounts in mind are in for a rude surprise if they have chosen a complex password and not the same on every account if they have several?
Dont you think that entering complex passwords manually each time is a little bit harsh on the user? Especially if they have several accounts? And not implementing "copy & paste" is not a good job on acceptance of the new launcher after the "golive"-Desaster with the windows-launcher?

Sure.
The Mac-Client crashes sometimes ... more to some, im lucky and very seldom.
In that case, there seems to be some issues with restarting the client. You startup the client, enter your data, press login, the launcher closes and nothing happens.
This seems to be a very common problem i see described on the forums and in game in various forms. And ive not seen any official help on this issue (you may correct me).
And the user do some funny things like copying their whole preferences-directory /Users/$USERNAME/Library/Application Support or further down /Users/$USERNAME/Library/Application Support/EVE Online in bazillion instances or delete the "EVE Online"-Part of it completely and lose their complete preferences including overview. If lucky, they have a TimeMachine running and are able to restore to some older state that works or simply reboot.
All these "Solutions" were a major pita to me so i investigated about 5 minutes into this problem and found some IPC-Resources created on the filesystem in /Users/$USERNAME/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/wineserver-$HOSTNAME-$USERNAME. And in 100% the cases known to me (about 31 iirc) where the client could not be restarted after a crash the solution was to delete these resources and all is fine again.
And its basic programming to check your ipcs on startup if they are still valid before using them and not simply use stale ones which are not "connected" anymore and the application just "hang" making the user jump through loops to make the software working again.
Yes, this was a little technical. Sorry for that but for that issue it was needed.
Besides ..... Singularity is online and login possible. ;-)
And your Forum-Software has driven me nuts on some Things where it says "No html posting" and it was no html. |

Basically the new Launcher "works" on SiSi and SiSi is online. Im logged into SiSi at the moment with a mac. Still with the missing copy&paste that drives me nuts, but basically .... it works.
Im no Developer with CCP so i most possibly dont know what your problem is. Sorry. I can only guess, if you even dont see the "new" launcher, youve made something wrong with the setup of the client connecting to singularity. |

You're again mixing two problems, and I must disagree with you; it's not down to the OS - if you use the keyboard to paste using cmd+v it's very different to using the right click popup menu to paste.
Well ... again just for you: https://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Conceptual/PasteboardGuide106/
Me and Apple says otherwise.
You want to construct two problems out of nowhere because you know better than Apple? You dont want to read Apple-Documentation? Fine with me. I dont care.
CCP Atropos wrote: The right click popup menu I know about, but the lack of paste for keyboards is new to me, as I stated.
Even without any technical knowledge and just common sense i would have checked after a bug-report if c&p would work at all. CCP not. Amateurish after the backfire with the windows launcher, but not unexpected.
No need to discuss this any further. Im able to solve my problems without any assistance from ccp luckily. Thank you very much for nothing. |
