Well done for standardising the launcher's look between Windows and Mac however due to not being able to store your password on the client I have copied and pasted my password in each time (and then cleared my clipboard immediately) as I use deliberately complex 14+ character passwords containing a mix of symbols, numbers, lowercase and uppercase letters. The new launcher does not allow you to use the paste function. I understand the concern about allowing the password to be stored on the client (although a "Use at your own risk" warning should be added along with the ability to store it within the client) but this pasting restriction now only encourages me to use a short, simple password making it less secure than a) being able to store it on the client and b) being able to paste it in.
I know there are likely to be responses to the effect of "What's the big deal? just type it lazy!", it may be lazy but it is an unnecessary ball ache. |

I've not got the new mac launcher yet and I'm looking forward to it.
Can someone post screenshots of it please?
As for the pasting function not working, I think it could have been a lot worse.
Only 40 rounds per gun... I hate reloading in the middle!

Very much depends on what you're password approach is. If you use generated passwords for max security it's a real pain.
I've spotted that if you invoke the internal Eve Package you still get the username/password prompt and you can still paste in the password. I've created a soft link and will use it most of the time and only revert to the launcher if i need to do a patch. |

We already know of the pasting issue and will of course fix this. Unfortunately, this problem has been brought to our attention too late for a fix to still make it into this release, but we did not consider this to be a showstopper to prevent the release of the launcher altogether, even though we realize it is of course troublesome for those that are affected by this.

Any idea when a fixed launcher will be released? In the interim, I can try Jabloni's workaround, or just spend 10 minutes every day typing in my 64 character RANDOM password.

Use the Clonemaker to make a clone of your client. When you run it you do not get the launcher, but a star field splash screen with a log in section at the bottom. In that log in, the slot for the password can be filled via a paste. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

Unfortunately, there is no exact ETA yet, other than "as soon as we can possibly push the change out safely". Until then, the workarounds already posted here (using the CloneMaker tool to start a cloned client) are probably your best bet if you rely on pasting your password into the password field.

Since the update, i'm not able to run eve anymore. It always says: Konto f++r EVE-SSO-CONNECTION wurde deaktiviert Letzte Anmeldung: None Anzahl der Besuche: 0 Grund: Konto-Abonnement abgelaufen!
Jetzt abonnieren und weiterspielen!
But i don't think it has my credentials, because i have a valid account. Very sad!
How can i disable the autoplay?

WellGǪ when I first updated the launcher, it shat itself inside out and got EVE Online.app flagged as Gǣcannot be run on this OSGǥ.
I could still go into the app package, find the actual launcher app inside it and launch from there, which at the moment seems to have updated and fixed the app so it can be run again. However, I'm guessing that the patcher is doing something it shouldn't be doing inside the app package that makes it mistrusted and/or just incorrectly configured as far as OSX goes. GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥

I found workaround to paste login/password on Mac - just select text and drag and drop. It works for me.
P. S. Sorry for my English. |

Windows client copy and paste works good. Like the auto launch after pasting now not having to hit enter twice is a great fix. |

Try running the launcher 3 times. Run the launcher, log in one account. Go back to the Finder, run the launcher again, and so on. Don't rename any files. http://vincentoneve.wordpress.com/ |

I found the "AutoPlay" feature occasionally locks the launcher up. Had to disable it to get it to launch EVE. |

Pleased to say the launcher has been no trouble and a nice experience so far. Both on my 2009 Macbook running 10.6.8 and 2012 iMac 10.7.5 (soon to be 10.8.x).
I don't do anything complicated with it, just log in and go, but that's all I ask for, especially after my problems before with needing to redownload the client after patches.
Just did a quick test during downtime, and it's very nice that one can log in and hit Play when the server pops back online!
While I would've missed the old login screen, it was kind of bland since Odyssey. I was very fond of the spoke-wheel research station.
My #1 request at this point is a Switch Character button. The in game escape menu got rid of its Log Off, understandably. Having to quit and restart is about the same speed as before (maybe a little longer). If switching characters is possible without having to reload all assets and data that would be a boon for dual-trainers like myself. It's something that modern MMOs are slowwwwly catching up with (STO) if they didn't have the feature from the beginning (TOR). |

New launcher's annoying and even less optimized for the Mac than EVE itself is.
Basic UI 101 stuff that needs to be fixed:
1) Command key doesn't work. I can't Command-A to Select All when I type in the wrong password.
2) Logging in twice? Why do I log into the launcher, and then the game? And why do I have to CLICK the second button; why do I have to manually pres buton with the mouse? Why can't I just hit return twice?
basically stop making me take my hands off the keyboard, ****'s novice yo Core Skills - train em up train em up! |

I run both Windows Version and Mac Version. While they do look alike they function differently.
The Mac Client Launcher :
- has to load the launcher for every client you want to run and closes. this does not happen on the Windows version.
- No longer remembers User name in the drop down box. The Windows Version does but does not alphabetize them. (Note: After rebooting it only remembered the last logged in user name. However that is the only name it remembers none of my other usernames are remembered even if I last logged in other name and rebooted.)
- For people that run Multi Clients the Launcher needs to be able to stay running and allow Multi Logins with play buttons listed on one page. (Currently they log in on one page and play on other page with Switch user account under play button.) Switch User account is Useless on MAC since launcher closes after Play button is pressed.
- While on Windows version (will affect MAC version also when they fix it) having the launcher running at all times with a Play button is a nice feature for when the server closes socket, allowing me to get back up and running quicker. However, when server goes down the Launcher does not recognize this and the play button appears none functional. I have to manually switch char and re-login.
- When I want to re-login using the ESC Menu re-log button is gone and I have to quit game to change characters. However, on MAC version I have to re-launch launcher and login then click play. where on Windows version I just click PLAY from Launcher assuming I run only one account. Multi Accounts have to switch characters, login then play.
Overall, I like the new Launcher only if I were running one account. This launcher needs to be more user friendly for multi user accounts. Please change the MAC and Windows Launcher to login and have Multi user Play buttons on one page for say 15-20 accounts.
Regards, Tiger Bite

I am also very annoyed by the copy-paste issue since I also use long, randomly generated passwords that I definitely don't want to type by hand.
Also, how can this happen in the first place? Copy/Paste is a feature that the OS provides for basically any text input element. You have to either use some really f***ed up GUI-Libs/Frameworks or intentionally break this. |
