Using current export patch / import patch is way too complex method to manually transfer the patches. This should be automatic process where launcher examines all the installed clients, downloads and applies the patches in one go and lets me choose which clients to launch simultaneously. Then it should shut down.
How do you get the Launcher to NOT start downloading a new patch automaticaly ??? There's no option to turn this off, so even if you do import patch, it is already dling one ... |

OS X 10.7.3 x86_64 MacBookPro6,2 nVidia GeForce GT 330M 256M Out of interest, what version of the Launcher are you using? It should say in the top of the window when it starts. Says "EVE Online Launcher v.1.0" at the top and doesn't try to patch (though the first time I launched it did some patching).
Tranquility release worked flawlessly and is at 1.04. The Singularity patcher finally updated to 1.04 (stayed at 1.0 with no new updates until the 1.5 release today) as well instead of being stuck at 1.0, but launches me into Tranquility rather than Singularity. So perhaps the Singularity Launcher got to 1.0 and switched over to Tranquility, which didn't have the new Launcher and had nothing to launch/update.
Neither of these updated to 1.05 and I just ran them before posting this. |

Thank you.My concern about the launcher is ability to run it when Windows UAC (User Account Control) are turned on to full protection mode. We all know that Eve Online game files are located in %program files (x86)%\CCP which is a protected location, and only accounts with admin token are allowed admin rights. Therefore, for launcher to be able to patch game files, launcher would need to be elevated with admin consent and token. After the patching is done, and launcher patches the game, evefile.exe (the game itself) will start and inherit all properties of it's parent process including admin token. This means that eve online client will be elevated and have full admin rights to the system. This is clearly not desired effect, as such security rights shouldn't be necessary to play the game. This is of course, is the most likely scenario how the launcher normally work if developed without security in mind. Does CCP addressed this issue in any way? Such as, does evefile.exe disallow admin token to be attributed to it, or launcher insures that evefile.exe does not start with full admin rights. Thank you for your time. TL;DR; How does the new launcher accommodate some of us, who are conscience about windows security... or are we ignored? We did take security into consideration, and liaised with the Security team here at the company. Precisely due to these issues, we're going to be changing the way that we suggest the user install EVE, to not be within a system managed folder, such as Program Files. It's not in the first release, but will come shortly after.
Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it.
After patching today, I noticed that launcher was trying to elevate itself and run with argument "lowerfolderpriv". Figuring out that it will lower security on the current client folders located inside program files, I have cancelled the elevation. I have then followed your advice, and move my eve client somewhere else, outside system protected forlders.
I am pleased that launcher does not need admin permissions and is smart enough to figure out when it needs to elevate (to correct permissions) or simply run with basic permissions.
Thank you for thinking about UAC and engineering solution that works with it. A lot of other companies and developers simple give up, or users run into too many issues, and end up disabling UAC all together.

Celeritas 5k wrote:I haven't read more than a few pages of the thread so sorry if this has been beaten to death, but the launcher looks like a fantastic opportunity to add support for multiboxing-- profiles for different monitors with different resolutions tied either to account, selectable on startup, or best of all selectable on the fly by hotkey or easily accessible menu (Say I'm running a mission on my bear, then a fleet forms up and hey look, troupe of squids need killin', better swap my fw/evil pirate over to the spotlight!). The ability to switch between these configurations freely without having to use an ultramon key command and a resolution change in the settings menu would be amazing.
You can do that today by setting up junction points, and dedicate each junction point to a specific resolution and set of graphical settings. I run (3) junction points.
(1) 1600x900 with full graphical prettiness including the hangar/CQ (1) 1400x900 with slightly less pretties for the 2nd account (1) 1024x768 with everything turned off for the tertiary account(s)

That makes a lot of sense, now to figure out how to give you this functionality without actually having to duplicate all this redundant data. Hmmmm.
If anyone has any ideas or suggestion, post away! It's very simple actually. just have 1 file where all the user changeable settings are stored in. Things like location of ingame windows, video settings, etc. Make your .exe be able to have an option pointing to a particular settings file. Something like ("C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" -s settingsfile1.ini) would be the new pointer for a shorcut on the desktop/start menu. I don't use any program myself that opens windows to a certain monitor but that might do it. |

Oh Lawdy.. The launcher is causing massive lag and stuttering for me when it starts patching... In addition the patching process has now become painfully slow with the new launcher. I was able to update eve literally within seconds and maybe a minute or two for the massive patches and expansions....Ive been stuck under 10% for over 7 minutes now...sigh.... |

1) When will the launcher in its default state be able to launch both Sisi and TQ client installs?
Required answer: Date (expected) or ...we are never going to do it
2) When will you modify the install so that we can specify where we can have ALL Eve related files on custom drives
Required answer: Date (expected) or ...we are never going to do it
Thx |

Pretty much this. Races to 15%, and sits there doing nothing, disconnecting all my other internet applications while it does so.
Thanks a lot for this. ~If you want a picture of the future of WiS, imagine a spaceship, stamping on an avatar's face. Forever.

Same issue, Although... i do get to 25%.
Also, another issue is that i get "Sorry, an error has occured. The server was unable to handle your request" when i try and file a petition to report this.
Look, if the launcher doesnt work, give us a workaround. I've followed all the directions that i could possibly find to try and solve this issue.
If something doesnt work, fix it. End of Story. (or dont put it out)
No other programs have the slightest problem running on my computer, ergo, it's CCP's problem. |

I have a problem with the hyperlinks in the Launcher. It doesn't matter what I click on Internet Explorer opens with a blank window not on any eve web page. It behaves this way on all of my computers (All running Windows 7). Any Suggestions? |

Oh dear...
The new patching process is painfully slow for me. While the blog mentions the first patch will be slow, this is bordering on silly.
CCP, does the launcher maintain a log, and if so, does it send it to you automatically? Some real-life data might help optimising this process a bit. |
