As per the other topic of having the exefile launch disabled per 20th september:

- Almost always forgetting every account except the first account whenever I log in to sisi with only one and the same account.
- The lack of auto-patching. Why do I even have to close the launcher again to reboot it in order to apply a patch? This is facepalmworthy.
- Sometimes after a downtime I have to reboot the launcher even if there was no patch applied, as I'm getting a "unable to establish connection" on the game screen. Intriguing.
- The fact it requires CPU resources and memory far beyond what I would think any launcher product of similar size, look and functionality should have. A few examples: Planetside 2 Launcher: takes about a third of memory, and uses so little CPU it doesn't even hiccup into the 01% category after it has been launched. Warframe: uses about half the memory but given the animated nature of it, CPU usage hovers around 01% to 02%. Champions online: Never saw it above 0% CPU when idle, and also takes only a third of the memory footprint. These launchers also never spike when idle (I kept programs running to monitor CPU usage). The highest spike I ever encountered on Eve launcer: Thirteen Percent. I could name you more launchers, but they all fall under the same category. Less CPU usage, less memory usage.
- I don't get a notification for a fresh news entry nor anything else. It just sits there and is silent.
- It's not the slowest launcher but definitely also not the fastest. Exefile has always been the fastest, no matter which iteration of the launcher we're talking about.
- The launcher does not provide any faster way of relogging characters so there is no reason to use it speed-wise over the "log-off" function of the eve client.
Other than that, I had not the misfortune of other pilots like endless patching, reinstalling or launcher crashing. |
