So, we will have to do NTFS Junction points to run multiple characters, or install multiple clients for each character?

So I was playing with the settings in the launcher and I clicked the one that makes the launcher auto fire up eve if theres no patch and the one that makes the launcher close when eve starts. How would I go about changing these settings back now?

It's a multi-machine patch situation.

My scenario is that I have six installations spread over four machines (OSX and bootcamped Windows), and I would prefer not to have a 150MB patch download into a 900MB downloadGǪ

k, ive uninstalled my client and reinstalled it manually (cuz autoinstaller wouldnt work).

The launcher works now just fine.

Thanks.

One thing I was wondering about though are the client updates. Currently each instance of the same client prompted for an update separately (this is *after* client is started by the "Play" button in the launcher). Is this the case just this time (what with swiching over to use the launcher and all) or will these keep being rolled out the same way in future updates as well?

This would probably be great if I was able to download the initial, tiny 3.77Mb Launcher.
Alas, somewhere, something is stopping this from happening. Timeouts, over and over and over again.
I am able to browse local and international internet, upload and download at very fast speeds. No issues with the link my side. I am in South Africa, perhaps CCP can check their cache proxy ? Something is badly awry.

Just no EVE downloads, not today, for whatever the reason.

The new installer SUCKS!!!!!

I for one have several copies of Eve in different folders as I like different settings for my different accounts due to different usages.

Downloading each patch for each dir is a pain... So i copied the first to the second dir... and now the Patch window never goes away.. even after a client is loaded.

WTH!!!!!

So you mean that little button with the spanner and screwdriver next to the minimise and close options is meant to do something? What if clicking on it does nothing?

Please tell me that this launcher is not going to waste so much time with future patches?

This is every time. New patch new problems! Launcher does not work.......Repair.exe do not do any work. And what do you reinstall the game again ,that every time?Maybe I should become a program specialist to fix it myself?I hope tomorrow to have any solution to the issue, with one mouse click!

the settings box of the launcher arent clickable on two of my installs meaning i cant check the box to made it not appearing until next patch, no idea if anyone experienced the same issues.

Rather than being sorry and apologizing, how about learning from the many, many, MANY past mistakes CCP has made and not doing things that necessitate being sorry and apologizing?

As for my issues getting the client to run, I've downloaded the full client and reinstalled-- and it's doing the exact same thing it did after upgrading the old client. As for right now, I cannot connect to EVE. Please remind me why I'm paying for three accounts? Before I call my credit card company and dispute the most recent subscription charges, that is.

Just a little update. We are aware of the issue and will look into it. It will take probably a bit longer (weeks perhaps). In the mean time, as a workaround it should be sufficient to remove the application in question (repair.exe, Launcher.exe) from Protocol Filtering.

Which ports should we configure for enabling all eve launcher funcionalities?.

I've solved my problem, the only way of updating the launcher itself with my antivirus software running is excluding the launcher subdirectory in the eve directory tree from scanning. This is not optimal but EvE Launcher is a reliable application , and after the updating the eve.exe'll be scanned by the antivirus when it'll be executed.

Now even when I check option "only display the launcher window, when there is update" the EVE client starts throw launcher, so I must wait, when first client is started and after that I can start another client... if I click for start another client during splash screen, I get obviously alert "multiple instances of the launcher cannot be run from the same directory. This instance will now close."
