On October 23rd we have deployed an update to the beta launcher. If you haven't heard about it before, check out the dev blog.
If you have already installed the beta launcher it should update itself automatically - otherwise you can install the latest version from here: https://binaries.eveonline.com/EveLauncher-973625.exe
The update has the following changes, fixes and additions
- Client settings management, with migration of settings from previous EVE installations
- Test servers are now optional.
- GUI tweaks and fixes.
- Clicking on the task bar icon now minimizes/restores the window
- Fix for a crash sometimes occurring when downloading large files.
- Fix for a network lag introduced by the launcher when running on WiFi networks.
- New launcher log files are now created per session rather than overwriting the last one. The launcher keeps the last 5 log files around to help with debugging issues.
- Log files, web cache and local storage are now all under AppData/Local/CCP/EVE, rather than being in 3 different locations.
Known issues
- Launcher does not have a unique icon the task bar.
We are aware of the following frequently requested items
- GUI - Checkbox for selecting accounts is not visually clear enough
- GUI - Display portrait of characters near the account
- GUI - Launch & Unlink account icons are too close together. Add confirmation dialogue to unlink.
- GUI - Play/Quit process button should be more visible in relation to other icons
- GUI - Server selection should maintain order TQ > Sisi > Duality regardless of what server is picked
- GUI - Would be great to have the latest news back
- Launcher - Prevent multiple instances of the launcher
- Launcher - Should be able to minimize to system tray
- Launcher - Start client with a specific character selected
- Launcher / GUI - option to have the launcher minimize when launching clients
- Security - Yubico Two-Factor support
- Settings - Ability to migrate / import / export / clone client settings
- Settings - Store client settings in server / cloud
- Settings - Option to enable the launcher asking whether to download new builds (for 4g/bandwidth restriction)
Mac version
The Mac version of the launcher is getting close, but it is taking longer than we were hoping. We hope to start in house testing next week, and make it available to players for early testing soon after that.
FAQ
- Can we focus on a running account from the Launcher GUI? - Yes, double click the running account, either in the account list or from processes view.
- Can we use Steam with the new launcher? - There is currently no Steam integration with the new launcher, but you may join the beta by setting an account name for account created through Steam
- Had # accounts logged in, changed servers and returned back to Tranquility, only one account remained logged in. - This happens if "Remember This Account" is not enabled, only the account last logged in will remain.
- Information pop-ups overlay advertisement. As-is this falls under intended design, as we deem messaging to users important.
- Switching between servers does not maintain a list of accounts. This is intended as each server has its own SSO. The tokens supplied for Tranquility may therefore not be valid for other servers.
- The 'E' menu is hidden. - We haven't decided if we will keep that menu. It's a place for CCP Snorlax to add features that do not have proper UI support yet.
