Today we have deployed the Mac version of the beta launcher. If you haven't heard about the new EVE Launcher before, check out this dev blog.
You can install the Mac version from here: https://binaries.eveonline.com/EveLauncher-976381.dmg
The latest Windows version is found here: https://binaries.eveonline.com/EveLauncher-976381.exe
On Windows, the update has the following changes, fixes and additions:
- Title bar is now transparent
- E menu has moved to the right side, with an arrow icon to indicate that it drops down a menu
- Launcher now gets a unique icon the task bar. Note that existing shortcuts are not automatically updated.
Known issues:
- Launcher does not work with AMD Crossfire setup.
- Norton Security may interfere with installation or updating of the launcher
- Mac GÇô Quit button on individual account lines does not work GÇô simply close the client itself
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
- Launcher / GUI - option to have the launcher force the client to run DX9
- 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)
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
- I had multiple accounts logged in, changed servers and then switched back to Tranquility. Only one account remained logged in. How can I fix this? - This happens if "Remember This Account" is not enabled. With this option not enabled, only the account last logged in will remain.
- The information pop-ups overlay advertisements. - As-is this falls under intended design, as we deem messaging to users important.
- Switching between servers does not maintain a list of accounts I've already logged into. - This is intended as each server has its own SSO and authentication. The tokens or other credentials supplied for Tranquility may therefore not be valid for other servers.
