two more things:

- it infuriates me to no end that the icon in the taskbar shows a "loading bar" after launching a client. the bar doesnt move or disappears after closing a client though. see here

- everytime a new launcher version is deployed, i get a black screen after launching an additional client. it loads bulkdata and all that jazz, but afterwards theres just the small download circle in the bottom left circling, and thats it. no matter how often you relaunch other clients, still same picture. doesnt matter either which account is launched at first, all subsequent launched accounts dont work.

...

thanks for your response, though the infuriation was more literally spoken :)

the launcher shouldnt download anything - i just have tranq and sisi as usable servers checked. still, ive checked my net connections and there isnt any download going on from the evelauncher.exe

the black-screen problem appeared after the launcher-update before this. when i restart, i can launch multiple clients. now if i close one of those, i run into the black screen problem. already submitted a bug report but it was closed with "clear cache or open a 'character stuck' ticket". point is, its not related to a single character, but to all accounts.

...

Ticket with number EBR-58116 opened, thanks for looking into it! :)

The launcher logs are stored in %LOCALAPPDATA%\CCP\EVE\Launcher.
If you check 'Run clients with logging' in the launcher settings you'll also get full client logs under %LOCALAPPDATA%\CCP\EVE\ClientLogs.
I recommend unchecking that setting once you're done - the client logs can become quite large and have a minor impact on performance as well.

It also did not work for me, or didn't seem to anyway. It sure didn't help I had like 9 folders I had to choose out of(3 TQ 4 Singularity and 2 duality)
And doing further testing between my alts on both the test server and TQ with entirely new settings profiles they don't really seem to do anything. Only thing that seems to be the same between the clients are the graphics settings(only partially...) and the volume settings... Not exactly a "wow this saved so much of my time!" thing.
Everything that would actually save a bunch of time, neocom settings / window positions / remembering what checkboxes I clicked cause I don't care about the warning / chat channels none of those get saved.

The biggest time saver the current beta launcher is capable of is no longer requiring me to input my password 3 times, it's nice, but not exactly what I hope is the only thing the Beta Launcher will be capable of.
Maybe doing more than what the profiles currently do is not even possible due to how the info is stored, but I do hope it becomes more useful in further releases.

On the flipside, I could just be doing something wrong

Hi,

can we get an Info what is fixed / changed in the todays update ?

I've been trying all day to get the launcher to download the latest launcher update. But the download is extremely slow, and eventually stalls.

Best I've gotten to is 37%. Restarted it after two hours of no movement at all. Now I'm back a 9% :(

Any way I can fix this? Or even better, is there a direct download link? Perhaps one that doesn't sit on a 64kbps line?

Okay, I have been fighting this for a while.

Cause I have an older SSD, I cannot just have everything going to C: drive. As such, I have symbolic linkings, etc. New beta launcher on trying to start, running as admin, gives the popup that files cannot be found or insufficient permissions.

Is there a folder aside from the users/roaming/CCP folder hiding somewhere on my C drive or another file/folder I am missing?

I love the new launcher.

I was wondering if you could make it larger for players using 4k monitors? Also can i get a 200-250% UI scaling?

This new launcher can stuff it as far as I'm concerned. Been trying since 11am GMT to get it to recognize my character name for IP verification on Sisi and Solace. Had a go at every trick in the book I can think of but nope "Incorrect character name entered" regardless of the fact that TQ logs in witthout a single hitch

I do not seem to be able to use this new Launcher as it does not link to my Steam account.

Is there a way?

Thanks
Maureen

Small nitpick about "Network diagnostics" tool.
Looks like it uses standard command line output for ping, tracert, but fails to handle non-latin code pages (I guess in my case it's CP866 or something else with Cyrillic)

Launcher should be monitoring network status, becouse if you're not connected to the internet and you launch it and then connect, it won't check for version info so you have to reboot it

The new launcher looks really great. I miss the old launcher's three or four news stories on the side though. Will that be added in the future?

I am no longer able to use the launcher post patch today.

It complains SharedCache\tq\bin\staticdata\mapObjects.db is corrupted but the original launcher is able to start EVE just fine.

Hello,

since yesterdays patch i can not use the beta launcher, after launching its just a not available website, if i go to "servers" i can launch the exe but something is wrong, would be nice to give us a solution for this.

Here a picture about the visual: http://i.imgur.com/mu7cB7n.png

Im not the developer

But yes its still a problem.

Launcher version 990283 on Windows 10 Pro

Two errant behaviors:

1) Immediately upon startup, the launcher will enter into a "Not responding" state and the user is prompted by Windows to kill it. evelauncher.exe nor its child processes consume any CPU during this time according to Task Manager. The mouse cursor is a spinning ring of death when moved over the UI.

and on the rare occasion that it doesn't do that:

2) The UI will be sluggish. Mousing over the UI elements which highlight themselves becomes a laggy afair. If I watch evelauncher.exe in Task Manager while I scrub my mouse over the face of the Launcher window, regardless of the location of the mouse cursor, the process consumes up to 20% CPU until I stop scubbing my mouse. Actually trying to launch a client fails to happen.

However, the right-click context menu for the task tray icon reacts speedily.

One minor issue:

1) The network test function where it pings client.eveonline.com will fail in all cases as ICMP appears to be blocked for that address.

This happened in the release version as well. I switched to the dev version to see if there was any difference, but there was not.

Good idea would be if launcher would download updates after downtime so you don't have to reset it.

My launcher is in endless install loop to install version 988834
after it seems to finish withoug any complaints, it will start installing it again immediately.
If I click cancle, then it will start this loop again in 15 minutes
