Hi all,
With todays update to Singularity, you will notice the new Eve Launcher. We have previously blogged about it some months ago and you can read that here: http://community.eveonline.com/devblog.asp?a=blog&nbid=3070
Over the last months, we have been working on completing the first releaseable version of the Launcher and making changes to the Launcher based on your very feedback on the dev blog. We are planning on releasing another dev blog in the coming days which will go into a bit more detail than the previous one.
In this thread we want your feedback on the Launcher based on your interactions with it on Singularity.
Please be detailed and constructive with your feedback, because it helps when collecting it and prioritizing what we should do next.
Do you like it and why do you like it?
Do you dislike it and why do you dislike it?
Come up with suggestions for how we can change it for the better.
What would be a cool feature for future releases of the Launcher?
Is something not working? Tell us what the error says and when/how you get it to appear.

Damn I read "Launchers" 
Anyways, what I'd like to see added in the launcher is the 'news' section available on the character selection screen.
So players can have something more interesting to read when waiting because of patch ;)

There is a slight issue updating the server and I'm afraid we'll have to deal with it in the morning. Locking thread until it has been resolved.

It would be cool if a single launcher could manage both Sisi and Tranq installs by selection.
FYI: I added /server:Singularity to the launcher shortcut - the launcher said Tranq, but logged me into Sisi. |

First of all:
Thank you.
I'm looking forwart to this Launcher thing since the first Dev Blog....
CCP Cascade wrote:...Q: What about Manual patches?
A: Manual patches will also go away, but for those of you who have multiple computers and only wish to download the data once from the internet, there is an option to Import/Export the downloaded data from machine to another. The feature is still being worked on, but you see it available soon. For now you can try it out by copying and pasting the .patch file with the correct build numbers from the EVE folder from one to another. So yes, the feature is there, but the nice user interface isn't... yet.
[Space for FAQ]
What is about Multiclient User?
1 Launcher per Client or 1 Launcher for all clients?
Will it be possible to download the Patch from eo.com without that Launcher?
(My I-Net connection at home is not that good to support 200 MB DL, but i could dl it at a friend and get it on a USB Stick...
WTB: "Launcher Gateway": Tell Launcher A on Computer B to download the Patch from Launcher C on Computer D... (Bittorent anyone?)
Cant wait to download that sisibuild and test it... |

The new launcher needs a make short cut button on it.
Its still checking if its current before it loads the launcher
Its currently not closing when the game client opens.
Laucher reset all my preferances becouse I had to create a new short cut from my sisi folder.

First things I have noticed:
*.patch file located in EVE root directory, not in launcher/cache/Download. I dont like mess in root folder 
Language selection on main page is cool option but when you re-open launcher again, your previous language selection is not saved and English loading by default.
It seems there is no way you can revert option "Only display launcher window when there is an update" without editing/deleting settings file. Not much can be done there but I predict some noob frustrations in future.
Launcher updater still using %TEMP% directory. Say hello to raging noobs who cannot configure UAC on their x64 system.
Also TQ server status graph will look cool on launcher IMHO, not only user count. |

Yep, aware and working on it.

We're aware of this too, and I just need to dump the desired language to disk and read it at boot.

Heh, yea, you can unset it in the yaml file, but that's not a nice thing to do. If you've got ideas for a nice way to allow the user to open it up, I'm all ears.

The embedded webpage is authored by our Web department, and we're awaiting a final site. What you see there is simply the original prototype we've been working with, which is why the language selection is rudely attached to the progress bar. That should change in the near future though.

The only solution that comes to mind - shortcuts (in EVE folder and Start menu) similar to old safe mode shortcut.
Something like "eve.exe /forcelauncher"

My preliminary testing in Wine (1.4rc4, Xubuntu 11.10 64-bit) seems to work well with the Launcher version 0.47 (no crashes and self-update to 0.49 worked, and it launches EVE and connects to Sisi despite displaying TQ on the launcher screen).
Too bad that the current game build is beyond useless at this point (no stargates in space!)

0.49 allows you to save the selected language for future boots. Be aware that it sets the client language (or should do) although you can set the client to something different if you want to.

If you use sisilauncher the gate issue is fixed but if you created a new launcher short cut, while it was broken, gates do not show up.

The new launcher (or whatever this one does with the patch) can't update the SiSi version of EVE on my pc. It passes step one and reaches 5% of step 2, it says client update is unsuccessful.
I cleared the cache and nothing changed.
Any help is appreciated. |

Have same problem. Repair Tool does not help. Using the same launcher that I have always used (don't know anything about this "new" launcher.)

When it comes to the staged install part, try starting off with the nebulas. Those would be the perfect target for testing this.

There should be a log file located in the launcher\cache folder, called launcher.log. Could you dump it on http://pastebin.com/ or something similar, so I can take a look? Thanks!

Same problem here.
Installed a clean download of Singularity into an empty folder. Ran Repair with the Sisi switches. Insists I do a Patch. Then there is no launcher.exe.log file in Launcher Directory as mentioned in the Error 13 message.
Been off Sisi for 4 days from this................
Tried all weekend and have yet to see new launcher.

Been there done that. Again, it cannot find "launcher.exe.log" nor is it in the Launcher folder.
Someone in another thread (there are 5 now about this) said that 'launcher.exe.log" disappears while running Repair, even with the Sisi switches. cannot verify this...and after downloading Client and with no Launcher available, Repair is the only option to Patch.
It (and myself) are going in circles.

Following up on my last report, still no issues found running in Linux - the Launcher was able to patch the Sisi install and run it without difficulty on Linux (Wine 1.4rc5 on Xubuntu 11.10 64-bit with NVidia graphics drivers 295.20).
I do keep my Sisi install in a completely different wine prefix than my TQ install (many Linux users don't so I can't vouch for how well it works for them).
I'm also able to use the existing desktop shortcut that launches "eve.exe" through Wine, I didn't have to make a new one to use the launcher.

Win7-64 bit
Using the launcher exe itself gives m a failed build. Sisilauncher worked to clean up and install the patch but install process is actioned outside the launcher. Until I see a out of date build and installing patch moving the process bar with a way to see the install steps like on the current sisi launcher. The launcher is a failier also until you can see both the sisi and TQ stats.

Looking at the screenshots on the dev blog, I do not see a clock. A clock on the launcher that displays the current Eve time and date would be awesome, and save a lot of trouble often resulting from USTZ op times. (2:00 on Sunday.... I mean Saturday.) |

It's kinda of a side topic, but having ALL relevant files INSIDE the eve client folders would be fantastic. Among all games I really praise wow for handling things that way.
Makes no sense to have to dig to the very end of windows files to find my screenshots. It's also wasting space on c:\ and it prevents the game from being used on an USB drive and moved from place to place at will. |

Read it earlier, but want to extend it. Can you make it multi account. I know , I know it would give issues, but I for me would like ONE launcher, showing me all my accounts. You enter the credentials once and the launcher keeps them filed (secret etc)
So to launch I only launch the launcher :) give maybe a new user/password just for the launcher and from there see all my accounts (or *smiles* all my toons to choose from) I could live if this would work for one client, would love you to death if you could do it even multi client wise :p

Please add a "minimize to tray" functionality + "auto update everything and dont ask me any questions" - I'd like to have it running all the time, keeping Eve up to date, like Steam does to other games. I do NOT want to click any buttons, accept eulas and go through other unnecessary crap. |
