how will it work when i want to launch all my accounts at the same time ? will i like x launchers ?
also while you're at patch update, why do i need to install optionnal update on each client, while they are the same files, using junctions ?
also current version on sisi show TQ stats, and have no graphical options available.
and i hope you'll add an option for it to launch the game by itself if there's is nothing to patch. |

The launcher will not interfere with your settings. By having two clients in two separate folders you will have two different launchers as well, each starting eve up with that specific client settings as usual.
you realize it wil be a pain for us to have all these things launch, while we only need one patcher ?
i often launch all clients at the same time, and i really don't want tons of launchers poping at the same time for no reason.

I had been thinking of adding an option to the launcher settings that when set, the launcher window would not pop up unless there was an update. I decided against it at this stage as once set, it would lock you out of the launcher and always start eve directly until next time there is an update. But seeing as how many players are asking about this, i don't see why i shouldn't add this feature.
given you're strongly copying how wow launcher works, don't forget it as also a checkbox on the options to let the launcher always appear, or only when there's a new patch.
give us the same checkbox please. |

when i checked mine (vista 32), the launcher updated itself during a few second, and then i relaunched it and it worked.
i suppose the 64 bits update is missing; which explain why those can't use it |

What you are seeing is far from anything final. Can you elaborate a bit rather than saying no? Can you look at it the other way around and ask yourself: "What would I like to see in this window?"
What feature would improve things for you?
for me a good launcher is a launcher you don't see ; it does it jobs when needed, and we don't see he exists the others times.
if you want us to see it, then, something that i would like is different saved settings that you can select while launching the patcher ;
for example you create a high quality setting for solo / small gangs and a low quality one for big fleets / multiboxing
and on the patcher you can switch in a second between these and run "play"
after the functionnality depend on how often you want us to have this thing open.
if you consider it as something that may run everytime minimized, add some useful things like skill / ingame mail / fitting functions, but i don't think you want to go that far.
and for sure i DON'T want what i see on the current launcher ; manage you account yes, but plex and buddy invite... NO. that's only for advertising. that's what a free to play launcher wil do, and eve is not. |

Static patches, also named fallback patches are something we where hoping to phase out, apparently that is not happening as a lot more players than expected use them..
for your patch issues, how about adding an option to put the download content on some folder, so that people who have multiple instlation can simply copy/paste it to another machine, and manually install it by launching some exe and saying to it that files needed are here ? |
