I've been trying to log in for a couple hours now, but the launcher keeps doing this:

which drains my RAM and CPU and makes the entire computer completely unusable. More windows keep popping up, and if one bar actually finishes it just starts on the next one AND adds a second bar to the original window. If I close a window, the launcher hangs. I can't even get into the launcher prefs to change from wine to cider, because the dialog won't let me.
update: managed to get into the preferences and change something before I got blocked out. changed from developer to release version of wine and was able to get it to stop.

I'm back to getting the problem again today, and I'm not using the developer launcher anymore. Have to force quit the launcher to do anything.

still getting this today after updating the launcher.
I would clear my cache manually but it appears to include the entire game.

update 207:
I've FINALLY gotten the launcher stable again. After force quitting/relaunching I don't know how many times, I was able to actually cancel a reboot caused by switching versions or something, and didn't get an auto-verify popup. I then manually verified, and after about half an hour, it finally verified the cache and deleted duplicates.
Unfortunately, Wine no longer worked. It would stop copying files at 1%. Again, after rebooting and switching back and forth between different versions of Cider and Wine quite a few times, I was finally able to get it to finish copying files over and voila. A launcher that (finally) works properly in Wine and Cider under both release and dev versions.
ccpls never again

I think one of the main problems is that this verification process leaks memory like no one's business and then, once it uses up all the available memory, chugs like hell.
If you have a program like MemoryFree2, you can monitor the memory leak (the blue "InActive" memory) and, once it takes up all the Free memory (which it will), clear it.
It seems that the process DOES complete, given enough time. It just gives absolutely no indication that it's doing so. It looks like it's hanging, and will sit there looking like it's hanging for a very, very long time (especially if it's used up all the available memory).

Interesting. Memory leaks have been a pretty big issue for the Mac client since... I think it was Inferno? One of the expansions of that era first introduced huge memory leak issues, and there's almost always been some memory-leak related issue on the front page of the Mac forums since then. If you guys are having problems replicating the leaks, that does explain why it's such a long standing series of bugs.
For the record, I've been playing EVE on three different macs (two iMacs and a laptop) over the years, and they've all experienced these issues.
Thanks for the upcoming fix! Please consider making auto-verification turned off as the default option, as 99% of players don't read the forums or patch notes and will have no idea it exists.
