The new launcher looks promising. At the same time, there is some possible improvements.
Profile now contains all information related to the characters AND physical settings like monitor setup.
I don't know how many in EVE plays with multiple accounts and multiple clients. It would be nice to choose the screen in the launcher, without changing the profile. Currently to change a screen you need to logon then change the screen. For most this temporary blocking of a monitor might not be important. For others this could be a true challenge or a total disaster. Bringing in a [fill in your favorite alt] that blocks your main at the wrong time would be, not cool.
My personal favorite way to solve this would be a screen pulldown menu that can be changed before launch. This would also very visual show what screen the client is going to end up on.
This might be a minor issue, for a limited number of players, or it might be something to consider.

As in, the entire window just turns gray with no buttons / icons / images / text. The only thing I can do is exit the launcher and restart it. It happens both with the game client running and without. I was using the beta launcher prior to today's patch without this issue.
Seen the same a couple of times yesterday evening. |

The Vertical scaling seems to mostly be based on the number of accounts inserted. Scale down the window in height and you get that annoying scroll bar on the accounts. I would actually rather see the ads moving out of the way. I've seen the ads - all day actually, lets move on.
Horizontally the launcher width is not used very much. I would like to have more information for each account. As I suggest bellow. Yes I do like the background picture, but it is a launcher.
- Separate the regular game profiles from the screen selection, make both profile selection and screen selection a per account pull down menu.
- When reducing the size of the launcher vertically, shrink or move the ads to make space for the accounts part. This to reduce the number of times the scroll bar on the accounts is used.
- Right after the account name have pictures of each of the char's on that account.
- Please make the "Unlink Account" a bit smaller or harder to hit. It is so right next to profile selection I have managed to hit it multiple times.

Dident see a bug report in the client so guess the reports should go here
I have a setup with 3 1920*1080 monitors
So normally i start up 3 clients .
And then i set them up so i have one client in each monitor.
Unfortunally i have to change to the correct monitors each time as they all default to monitor 1
Thats with the normal client.
So lets try the beta client and see if it remember my settings
I start up 3 clients and change the first from monitor 1 to monitor 2
Then i cllick on the second client and change it from monitor 1 to monitor 3
But the first client then goes down to taskbar again:(
So using the beta client i can only have 1 client up at one time.
Have anyone been able to have 2 or more client up at the same time on different monitors using the beta client?
Thanks for your time, and sorry for my poor english:P
Having multiple clients up at a time is not a problem. You would need to 1) have a profile for each screen, or 2) change the monitor when it is started. If you change the screen location it would seem the last client to close a profile overwrites the profile. I have suggested a few improvements in a post above. The profile in addition to containing the screen placement also contain all the game profile settings (chats, and other ingame settings), so I have suggested splitting the ingame settings and the screen selection into two different choices.
I have a profile at present for each screen, but then I need to make modifications ingame if I move char's around.
EDIT: Also, Alt + TAB on Win 7 brings up the choice of your clients so you can get hold of minimized clients. |

SUGGESTION FOR MULTI-LAUNCH
- Allow us to set a "target" monitor for each account in the launcher settings (or even in game). I run all of my clients in window mode that is essentially FS window allowing me to tab in and out or have browser windows open.
- I always make sure to have certain accounts on one monitor, and other accounts on another monitor. It has to do with screen real-estate and which are more of logistics toons.
- One pain in the ass that still exists when launching multiple accounts at once is making sure I drag each window to the proper monitor when I start playing. I haven't yet found a way for EVE to "remember" which monitor I like to run the game, and I doubt even if I did it would be able to remember which preference I had specific to each account.
I might have missed the point in your post, but is there a reason why you prefer 'Window mode' over 'Fixed Window' mode?
With Fixed window mode you are able to allocate a profile to a particular monitor. The downside is that it also contains all the rest of your settings. Monitor selection is done in the Display & Graphics => Display Adapter. I just changed mine to 'Window mode' and here I see, as you state, that you are unable to use the monitor choice; even though it is selected correctly. |
