GUI v1034 is live on release.
This update is primarily made to improve the overall user experience of the launcher
Changelist:
- Removing the menu at the top of the account section for aesthetic purposes
- Removing the auto-login switch and turning auto-login on permanently for all cases where an account is remembered
- Removing the now-defunct logout button. Accounts can be forgotten one by one via the "x" icon on each account strip, or via "Forget all accounts" in the Settings menu
- Moving the "forget all accounts" button into the Settings menu
- Adding checkbox for remember account on login back in
- At downtime the launcher starts agressively refreshing data between 11:00am and 11:20am. This is to decrease possible confusion with launcher status being updated more slowly on inactive launcher windows

Any chance we can get the launcher to remember the display that is set for each account? Everytime I login I have to reselect which display to use for each of my accounts. Just a small nuisance. |

- Removed drop-down menu at top of account list
- Auto-login is now enabled by default, and can no longer be toggled off
- Removed logout button. Accounts can be removed individually with the X icon, or all at once via "Forget all accounts" button
- Checkbox for remember account added to the login window
- Launcher should now be more aware of downtime and update the server status accordingly
Why did you remove the option to login? Before this change, I could play on a "common" machine. Login to all my accounts and pin them, then when I returned the next time, I could login one time and the launcher would allow me to load all my accounts.
NOW, I have to logout every account and re-login EACH ACCOUNT EACH TIME! There are people that use my computer whom I don't want accessing Eve. This now requires I "forget" every account or anyone who uses the computer can access my Eve accounts.
It's a hassle to login to so many accounts every time I want to play. Whoever made this decision really didn't think it through. As far as I can tell you removed functionality for no good reason.
The launcher experience is now worse than it was. At least give me the option to "logout" but keep all the accounts pinned to a single login. |

This is very much an intentional change. Like you said yourself, you use a shared machine, and that reduces your account security by quite a lot. As the previous functionality was that you could log in with ANY eve account to bring up ALL saved accounts, we've decided to remove that flow, as it could cause misunderstanding by players and lead to a sense of false security.
Storing your credentials in the launcher is an insecure way of managing your accounts as is explicitly stated in the launcher itself, especially on shared machines. What I could recommend in order to improve your own security, should you wish to continue storing your credentials in the launcher, is to set up your own OS(windows?) account, and install EVE only for that specific account in order to limit other people's access.

And now the launcher opens right away with all accounts logged in if I do not log them out? Please get me wrong, but a "false sense of security" which still requires at least 1 account to log in to access all accounts is still better than virtually no security which requires me to log out all accounts every time I close the client and then log them in again one by one... Seriously, could you please stop overthinking non-problems?
Your "work around" is also quite blatantly a farce. I need to setup a specific user on my PC just to access EVE safely when I work on a shared machine to compensate for a functionality that ought to be included in the launcher (and was included in the launcher until the last update). What kind of methodology is that?

Every time you guys think about doing something with the launcher I lose all my toon logins. It's been annoying for sometime now. I get off from work thinking I wanna mine with my 20 toons!!! Get on PC, CCP did something to the launcher, have to re-enter all my username and passwords, rather go do something else. CCP you need stop messing with the launcher or just give up because you don't want to leave it alone and go back to the old login process. As an owner of 20 plus toons and I share the same thoughts of others that have as many toons or have more, stop creating a headache for us. |

Maybe a middle ground would be to add the option to password protect the launcher itself. That would give the sense that only the launcher is protected by the password, not the actual accounts.

Yesterday, I noticed by pure chance that CCP was live on Twitch because I noticed by chance that you have a new icon on the LEFT side of the launcher (which breaks with the UI style of the rest of the icons on the left side, just saying) but no information at all on the RIGHT side in the news scroll. It's not strictly your fault, but the guys who thought that up should be slapped in the face. Replacing the time/date info in the news scroll with a simple icon far away from that news section and hoping people join is questionable UI design and information presentation.
