You must be a troll....
I use Win7 64bit on really good hardware. I started playing just before they changed the launcher. It used to start up fast, and got me into the game quickly. The new launcher takes a long time to start up and to render on the screen. I think we need a launcher for the launcher....

Yer, the day my launcher doesn't start up in Offline Mode after every other patch is the day I stop using ExeFile.exe. ...and the day CCP start forcing us to use the launcher, is the day I quit eve, because...errmmmm, the fuckin launcher is always in OFFLINE MODE!!!

The only problem I have with it is that I now have to quit the game entirely when switching between characters. I have two accounts and multiple characters on each, and it might make sense to have to quit the game to switch accounts. But it makes no sense at all to have to quit to change to a different character on the same account.
you know you can go in to the launcher settings and have it stay open. This way you just exit client > hit play to go back to character select without reentering passwords. Mac launcher is typically handicapped as before, we don't have such options Going to take forever until we do.
Reminds me of the couple years of my iPhone not being able to send pics over SMS, and then, when they finally added that functionality, SJ pranced around on stage about it like it was the newest thing since sliced bread, and he had invented it.
(not knocking the launcher, I'm running a 6 year old HP with Win 7 64, and I 2 year old iMac bootcamped running win 7 32, never a problem, either with this or the last launcher (remember just as many people bitched about it as this one) and the HP does seem to load faster now, but is unscientific, as I never actually timed either start up. ) I"m not really the Evil One, I'm just his answering service. |

Okay, sure, give this guy the option to keep this launcher.
Can the rest of us have the old one back please?

Yep, it's still terrible. Instead of taking an opportunity to make logging in multiple accounts and switching between characters easier, it's made it take longer and be more awkward. -- |

Actually Microsoft installers bootstraping is used to get privlidges to be able to install for example.
The same is used for compilation processes, using a language to compile its own self when designing languages (which I do). |

Thats all I need to know.
Eve now takes much much longer to launch. If launcher is up and not relaunched before an update is downloaded it crashes. Junk Bloatware, Reminds me of Windows ME trying to load adobe products. Nothing on my machine is as bad come to think of it. Agree with OP. Keep working CCP. |

How is launching a splash screen once for multiple accounts slower than launching a graphical UI multiple times for every account. Also do you not realise the launcher can be closed once the clients are running..... I swear people just complain about the launcher because it is something new and familiar rather than for any other reason. |

I have a solution to the new launcher which is as follows and works well for me:
1. Create a short cut to the eve exe file and drop it on your desktop next to the launcher shortcut. 2. Run the eve launcher and let it do its update thing. 3. Close the eve launcher and forget about it until after next DT. 4. For the rest of the day, use your eve exe file shortcut.
If you bypass the launcher you still get the 'log off' button on the eve client 'esc' screen. When switching accounts just hit 'log off' and your client will close and then re-launch itself for your next character login.
Dear CCP, please don't take away the 'log off' button . Using the launcher to cycle through my PI alts will drive me mad.

Have you missed the fact that the exe file method is going to be removed? |

Please everyone don't follow this advice. If everyone reports the same thing it will likely lead to a ban.

That's probably what the devs think too, but there are legit reasons to complain about it. I usually like new and different, i'm not afraid of change. But if the change degrades something I will not just swallow it silently.
This attitude, to just dismiss critics by pointing to some peoples fear of change is just a lame excuse to dodge the actual arguments and end the discussion. Nothing good will come from that. |

No it isn't, I happen to like the new launcher, much better than what I had before, you have an option to launch the exe directly bypassing the launcher, don't use it then.
I always wanted a corpse launcher, and now I got it. Please don't take it away.
Please stop posting your "personal opinion" as fact.
Btw, in keeping with Steam and vanity items, can we get achievements added to the launcher? k thanks. |

Please back up your statement with proof of Blizzard or WOW (you seem unsure which as noted by your use of a disjunction in your unbacked claim) k thanks. |

Just because there is a workaround does not mean the real issue has to be ignored. If you just don't care and rather wait with the complains until they remove the workaround, feel free to do so. But why would you discourage people that actually care NOW because they see it coming? |

Millia, you may NOT have access to my logs. I think it was an AV or similar log. besides, I just cleared out logs of all sorts. It would be easier to disassemble it if I was so inclined but I'm not. If I've roused your curiosity, take it apart yourself but I could be wrong also. Your just looking for text in hex but it doesn't concern me enough nor do I have time for anything more than lame troll attempts. Did our Georgia division put it together also? I don't think it would go over well to publish CCP code for any reason. |

Let's say you bought a car, and the ignition system didn't work well. So, will you settle for hot-wiring your new car to get going, or are you gonna call the car manufacturer and file a complaint to get it fixed?
If you say, you'd rather hot-wire the new car to get it started, then by all means, put the exe shortcut on your desktop. Watch this space.-á New exciting signature in development. |
