I downloaded the new launcher on my laptop, but I can't find the setting to close the launcher automatically. Does this option still exist?
I don't want to download that launcher onto my desktop if this feature is not yet available. |

I have been trying to get an answer to this very question for some time now. Even went as far as to submit a ticket days ago. Still nothing.
If they removed the option to auto-close, they need to put it back. The client can wait until next login to update. Nothing can be that critical it MUST update RIGHT NOW. |

The new launcher has a "minimize to tray when I click the 'close' button" setting but it does not have an "auto-close" setting.

Thanks for the update, and thanks for making my favorite videogame. Why minimize it? It seems like once Eve is launched, I wouldn't need the launcher anymore. Is there a reason you don't want the launcher closed? |

Many of us play with the launcher open (both old and new) in order to be able to quickly log in the same account again.
But I don't see why you would want to remove the the auto-close option, for the people that close it. Why make the new launcher worse than the old? |

A good reason to close it is Memory/Ram. If you run a tight system 140 or so mb can make a difference. But more, occasionally things like launchers develop memory leaks which require a day or three to fix/patch. Having a default option to completely close the launcher process is a great way to avoid memory leaks / run eve in systems with very tight memory constraints. |

That is one reason I asked about it. My laptop plays Eve, but I absolutely need every MB. I won't install the new launcher on desktop until they put that option back in.
The one thing that's strange is they added a minimize to tray upon close action, which suggests they've thought about the launcher UI experience, and made the conscious choice not to provide an auto-close option. I just wonder why they do it this way. |
