I use both the launcher and evefile.exe (multiple symlinks) to launch multiple clients (faster for me). Now I have to use the launcher to launch each client (more typing, more clicking).
See below.

I really do not like this.
rip evefile.exe
Yaay!!!!

We are going to have to come up with a "launcher improvement committee" to fix the issues with the launcher and improve its viability. Evefile.exe does bypass the improved security measures that CCP is trying to implement, and they will have to disable it eventually. If I had the flexibility of deploying multiple Eve clients through a single launcher click, I would.
Just about every modern mmo uses a launcher. Just about everybody hates them. It hits harder for us because we typically use multiple clients. there is also the ddos issues, grey button issue, broken launcher issue, slow patch issue, it running issue, etc.
Pitchfork away for now.
Yaay!!!!

I'm going to be very cinical right now. Imagine that the reason for disabling evefile.exe wasn't a security reason, but a monetary one...
Because the eve in game store does not work unless you use the launcher...

But CCP aren't the evil &$:&:$ I am implying. They wouldn't do that and force people to use the launcher just because they want people to blow cash in their valuable store..
Of course not...
I... Like.... CCP...........
Yaay!!!!

Yea pretty much.
Even so, evefile.exe isn't secure. The launcher sucks. Fix the launcher so we don't need to use evefile.exe and we won't care.
Yaay!!!!

Again.. So what.
Now I use and like evefile.exe (hell I started the thread), but if CCP can get the launcher to work so I don't have to use evefile.exe, all the better.
Hell I might even buy a fraking skin if they get the launcher working as a viable replacement to evefile.exe.
Yaay!!!!

IF (emphasis on the IF) they fix the launcher, with is a good thing, and I can assure you that everyone will be happy. *fireworks* However, no, do not get eluded, they will only forbidden the use of the .exe because of NEX Store, with in fact are the GÇ£greed is goodGÇ¥ mentality. And that is it.. We will have to deal with that (no work around and broken launcher) because we like the game.. but in the end, things will only get worst and worst.. I really wish I am wrong, but I am playing eve for 3865 days (I am not lying), and that long experience point me to this harsh reality. Castelo PS: That why I will keep my pitchfork.
I want CCP and Eve to be successful. If that means they have to boost their revenue through their store. Fine. This isn't monocle gate (there is stuff in their people actually want).
Now we have all used evefile.exe as a backwater way of starting the client. If functions but it is a bypass to both their own marketing store, as well as the security protocol they've setup. If they can enhance the launcher to support multiple clients launching at the same time, great.
If they support the damn thing so it functions without stupid grey bars, 10 minute patch checks, etc etc, great.
I would want them to fix that crap before they decide to disable evefile.exe starting.....
But it'll have to happen if they want the basic functionality of the client even starting to work.
The launcher is windows 8, it sucks. Evefile.exe is windows xp. They want to end windows xp support to move to windows 8 and were pissed. I am too, but I have no expectation for them to keep supporting a antiquated way of logging into the game. I want them to fix the fking launcher.
Yaay!!!!

Pretty much. It is work, but if they want to "sell, sell, sell", they'll have to commit to the work.
Prep it, stage it, get the people's approval of it, fix the server it is on (to stop those gnarly ddos attacks).
If All I had to do was click 1 button, and launch all my accounts simultaneously, I would do that and I would not bother with evefile.exe.
Barring issues with the launcher actually.. well launching.
Yaay!!!!
