With the move to the new forums, comes a renewed thread (here's the old one for posterity)!
I am happy to announce that the Sisi launcher tool, on which CCP Mandrake and his team were working, is ready for a public beta-test.
What is it doing:
- Copies your TQ client to a specified folder for Singularity
- Verifies the client
- Patches the client to latest version of Singularity
- Starts Sisi client (with options /server:Singularity and /minidump)
Instructions:
- Download Sisi launcher and save it at a location of your choice (I have it on my desktop)
- Start the Sisi launcher (allow the tool to make changes to your computer, when asked)
- Specify the path to the Singularity client (can be an existing one or a new folder)
- Click the "Play" button
- If there is no client in the location you will be asked for the path to your TQ client
- Wait while the client copies, verifies and patches (takes nearly 30 minutes on my laptop)
- Login to Singularity
Good to know:
- The tool gives the option to update itself, when a new version is available
- If you have problems with the launcher or have suggestions, please post here
- If you find any bugs, please write a bugreport and add "SisiLauncher:" to the title. Please include error-messages, if available.
- No Mac version for now
Here the link to the current version(1.24) : SisiLauncher.exe This information can also be found at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Sisi_Launcher |

My experience thus far is that this is a nice tool, three times since downloading tool Sisi Version has changed and there was apparently no incremental patch, rather than re-download the full client each time I could use SisiLauncher to patch and be online.
This is hardly a cure-all, an incremental patch often loads/installs much more quickly than this tool ...... but in the absence of an incremental patch it is much faster than a full client download.
I would be happier if this tool were not needed, much like car insurance but it does work well (so far) |

Somewhat similar to a Wizard or Setup interface with step by step "Next" , "Back" or "Cancel" buttons would make the entire process more easy to handle for anybody just starting to use the tool.
For example, not many people realize from the first time that the tool's purpose is to also create a copy of the game in a different folder, resulting in a bit of confusion as a result of the 2 consecutive Browse dialog boxes.
I really think that a dialog based process divided in 3 individual steps would make it more easy for everyone (if game copy is already made just skip initial step, etc.)
I hope this helps the tech guys to create a better UI for this tool. |
