If the repair.exe will cease to work, and the old launcher will be deleted and the new launcher not functioning on Windows XP, what other options are there? Does it mean that Windows XP can still play eve until the first hotfix comes in, which might as well be the next day? Does it mean that manually downloading files from a sneaky community effort like www.eve-xp-lives.net will provide the changed files per patch to download and overwrite manually? Or is there another way that is legit? There will be no official supported mechanism to update on Windows XP. The last day of support is 30 June.

Fair enough, as far as official statements go.
You still said there would be ways to update Windows XP, albeit unsupported.
Translated this means you can't give an official response because you're likely bound by the company to not give any further details. It's understandable. All that is left now is for the community to figure out a way for windows XP after the 30th to continue patching. Unfortunate for the playerbase that you can't give a list of CLEARLY UNSUPPORTED possibilities to continue patching. My best bet remains manual file overwrites or something the like. |

This is the official response. We are sunsetting Windows XP support and the reason I can't give you "a list of CLEARLY UNSUPPORTED possibilities to continue patching" is that I don't know of any.

I see. Guess that was a misconception on my end (non native english speaker here) as I originally understood it as "well there are ways, but we don't support them." Thank you for keeping up with the answers.

I've installed the new launcher, copied my profile over, and logged in, as per the video. So far, soo good. Then I clicked on the 'Play' button, and absolutely nothing happened. I can still get on the server with my old launcher, but the new one, pretty as it may be, seems relatively useless.
Has anyone else had this issue? I'd like to know if there's some easy way to fix it (ie, if there's something in the UI that I missed clicking before clicking on 'Play') or if I should put in a bug report.
So long, and thanks for all the isk.

I'm Running Vista 64. Downloaded the new launcher a week ago, works PERFECTLY fine, seeing this thread apparently with far less issues than Win7. Just installed it, copied the profiles; got my overview, settings, all the same and running smooth.
So if the new launcher works with Vista, we can still play EVE on it right?
Hope so, as i just can't justify at the moment to buy a new PC just to play EVE (basically only thing i use it for).
Now directX11 is another issue; as my PC is just not compatible, hope we still have some time before directx9 goes down

By God they have to! I can't keep turning the graphics options lower till they hit rock bottom and then have to upgrade to a driver with more advanced features. To render what exactly? Advanced potato mode? |

I can only say that a clean installation of eve online posed no problems on my end with the new launcher. I could trace and troubleshoot some issues of others in migrating settings and some shenanigans Eve pulls in system folders and registry edits when you switched from old to new system. If it isn't enough to wipe all of eve from your drives including everything in "user\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE" after you backed up the settings in there elsewhere, you might want to look into remnants in the registry pointing to legacy files. Your logs and screenshots will be unaffected as those are in "user\my documents" When you reinstalled windows, did you make sure to wipe the drive before you attempted to install windows or did you install it in a different partition altogether? because sometimes the OS installer tries to be smart and grab things already existing on the platter.
When I reinstalled Windows, I formatted the drive and started completely fresh. When I reinstalled Eve, I downloaded everything new. That includes the long, annoying task of redoing window placements, etc. I still have problems with the new launcher. |

The problem here is I play on a laptop. And I'm sure a lot of others are in my situation. In order to continue playing the game, the investment we would have to do would be substantial. Either buy a new laptop or a PC, which imo is too big of an investment to play one game.
It would be nice that an option was in place for people with lower end pc's to still be able to play the game but not completely overhaul everything. |

I will point out that one reason we're communicating that this change is upcoming is so that people who may be running on hardware that may not work in the future have ample notice that this may be an issue. Even if replacing your laptop right now is not feasible, hopefully the advance notice can give you some time to consider what options you might have available in the future.

mybe a stupid question. When you download the new launcher you are asked where to install EVE. I put in my former EVE folder and then a warning pops up. Can I ignore this warning? Or am I really expected use a blank folder and download the full client i.e. 3.something Gig ??

Is ccp looking into improving multi account performance? The only way i can run multiple accounts without a ton of lag is with DX9 and graphics on the lowest settings. Otherwise id have to unsub however many accounts i cant run anymore.
Just throwing it out there but... If direct X11 doesnt improve performance then maybe keep DX9 until that goal has been achieved.
Much appreciated :) |

Much appreciated :) DX11 should improve frame rate performance by about 5% over DX9, and otherwise there should be no performance hit (other than possibly in scenes where certain effects would be completely disabled due to DX9, and I don't think we do that too much right now.)
As for multiple account performance, can you give specifics about what kind of system you're running on (CPU, RAM, GPU), whether you're in fullscreen, fullscreen windowed, or windowed mode, how large your monitor is, and how you arrange your windows? And how many clients are you running?
In my experience, running multiple minimized clients and using Alt-Tab to switch between them should be pretty hard to distinguish from running a single client until you're running out of memory or disk space. If that's not the case, you should submit a bug report explaining all those details I mentioned, preferably from within client using the F12 menu -> Report Bug button.
Edit: If you're taking screenshots for a bug report, I recommend pressing ctrl-F to bring up the FPS window in each client and include the window in your screenshot, so we can see what your FPS performance looks like as you add clients.

If they're willing to take the time, it would be greatly helpful if they could bug report any issues they experience.
Here's the Eve bug reporting web page.
Here's a document explaining how to find launcher logs.
You can also get to the logs by choosing Show in Explorer > Launcher Logs (or "Show in Finder" on the Mac.)
If they can explain exactly what happened, preferably including screen shots if they help, and include their latest launcher logs, that would be the best way to submit a bug.

- Windows XP: Until we make changes on the backend system that the old Launcher relies on then you will be able to use and launch the game. When we make those changes, later this summer or early fall, then you won't be able to continue using the old Launcher and the new Launcher doesn't work on Windows XP.
- Windows Vista: You will be able to use the new Launcher on Windows Vista and the launcher and the game client will continue to work until we make changes (none are currently planned) that are incompatible.
To summarise, we are not checking and blocking these older operating systems but we are using functionality that is only available in Windows Vista and later (for now, at some point in the future we will rely on Windows 7 and later).

Even though the new launcher is out, will the old launcher still update until eventually updates are dropped on the old launcher? All I get is, this launcher is no longer supported. I've backed up my settings of course. :P |

There really needs to be some clear information presented that explains to people getting the new launcher how to migrate their settings using the 'profile manager'. The little cog button to the side is not obvious enough to most people who just want to get back into the game after having upgraded. I've talked dozens of people through the process after they were complaining that the new launcher 'wiped their settings'. |

That will happen probably happen in early to mid August.

If the process of upgrading the launcher is complicated enough that it requires a video, that means you've already failed in your responsibilities as software developers to CCP's customers.
Sadly, this is the experience of EVE players: we see many areas of excellence in the game and its implementation that are too often marred by bouts of gross incompetence by the developers. This launcher upgrade is one of the latter. |

Quick Question.
When i bring up the old launcher, the message comes up saying it is no longer supported and I can download the new one by clicking on the link. I click on the link and it brings up the community download screen but there is no link to a launcher download. There is just a link to download EVE online for windows. This kinda implies, IMHO, that I am clicking on link to download the whole client which i do not want to do. Do I use that link or is there one i am missing? |
