FluffyDice StarFckers Inc. The Jagged Alliance 67	Posted - 2012.03.13 13:04:00 - [36] - Quote 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? Because I cant seem to get into any launcher settings anymore...

Got my second client running with symlinks. Had to copy the Info.plist and PkgInfo from the updated main installtion to the cloned installation. Clients are starting but changing Info.plist as described in http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Multiple_clients#Duplicating_EVE_Online.app doesn't work anymore. It always uses the settings from the main installation. My bad, I have fixed the link now. The info.plist for the client is deeper in now, it used to be in EVE Online.app/Contents/ but is now in EVE Online.app/Contents/Resources/EVE Online.app/Contents The first info.plist is for the launcher, the client now lives deeper within the package.

Find the EVE Online Launcher shortcut 3. Start it Associate Technical Producer - Core Technology Group

T'Laar Bok 45	Posted - 2012.03.13 13:16:00 - [39] - Quote I start 8 separately installed clients with different settings all at once with a .bat file. No junction points are not a solution, I found if I lose settings for one client I lost them for all hence the separate installs, I only lose one clients settings. Admittedly that was several years ago that was happening so perhaps not an issue anymore. How is the new installer going to know to patch each separate client and then start them? And within the next two - three weeks it going to get worse. 10 clients on 5 networked computers. How is it going to manage that? I have a feeling I'm going to spend longer getting Eve started than actually playing. Oh, that's interesting, it just started 8 of the same client and cannot continue - only one updater can be running at a time, says I have to restart my computer. Amphetimines are your friend.

Do you have any idea of the timeframe before this will make it in? I am curious to know what your user scenario is, do you have multiple installations on a single machine or is this about patching clients on more than one system? If it's multiple clients on a single machine I'd really like to know why you do that, since the effort of patching one and then duplicating it (and editing the duplicate info.plist) seems less than saving a patch file and applying it to existing duplicates. In addition to that there is the clone maker which makes duplicates take less space and time anyway: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Multiple_clients#Using_the_EVE_Clonemaker CCP Gangleri \| Senior Tester Check out my EVE Gate broadcast log: https://gate.eveonline.com/Profile/CCP%20Gangleri/StatusUpdates

Altarica The Pale Eye 6	Posted - 2012.03.13 13:27:00 - [45] - Quote So, wait for server is up Dev post, Launch client "there is a new pacth would you like to download it?" Hit yes, watch the 3.68mb dl come down (guess thats the launcher) Eve Online Update Setup starts to run ... Gets to (6/7) Downloading patch: Initializing .... and sits there, for about an hour now PC is not hung I can do other stuff and Task Manager says that the "Eve Online Update Setup" is running (ie its not died to a non-responsive) So what is it doing and why is it just sitting there ?

Do you have any idea of the timeframe before this will make it in? I am curious to know what your user scenario is, do you have multiple installations on a single machine or is this about patching clients on more than one system? 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 turn into a 900MB downloadGÇª to say nothing of the near-gigabyte sizes that occur whenever you update or introduce large swaths of art assets. It's not really a matter of bandwidth or download caps (I have tons of the former and none of the latter), although I could imagine that it's an issue for some GÇö it's mainly a matter of time and convenience. If I can download the patch once per OS and then distribute it on my home network at far higher speeds than what I get from your servers over the internet, it just makes things easier for everyone involved: I download it once and install everywhere in parallel (or at any convenient time) without choking my connection. I haven't done the install on Windows yet, so I'm only assuming that the wiki is correct in how you can export and import patches, but the option is just not there in the OSX client, and I'm wondering if/when it will beGÇª GÇ£If you're not willing to fight for what you have in GëívGëí you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.GÇ¥ Find more rants over at Tippis' Rants.

Ahhh nice! I see what you did there for the cloned version. Instead of launching the Launcher you start EvE directly. Nice nice. But i was to lazy to change it by hand and used EVE Clonemaker instead. All working as intended. Thanks.

We will aim at having this supported on the Mac in the near future. In the meantime the workaround would be to patch one client and then put that client on a USB key and move that between your Macs or send it over the network. What you could also do is navigate into the bundle and find the .patch file and manually copy that around. Associate Technical Producer - Core Technology Group

Shanlara IDDQD Industry 23	Posted - 2012.03.13 15:49:00 - [59] - Quote I would like to ask a dev this question about the launcher. Cause as it stands right now, it became quite the hassle to launch multiply clients for us who has quite a handfull of accounts, which I find a bit annoying that moving forward you make it more annoying to do, so my question would be, is it possible to make it so you can tell the launcher to open X clients at once when you press play ? so we avoid having to wait for client 1 to open, then tap back to launcher, wait for client 2 to open tap back, ect, cause it's getting quickly on my nerves that this process now takes over twice the time it did before the launcher.
Luminocity Filthy Thirteen 4	Posted - 2012.03.13 15:59:00 - [60] - Quote I'm running up to 3 instances of 1 installation using separate junction points for each (original installation folder, junction 1, junction 2 with separate shortcuts pointing to each) under Windows 7. So far the launcher seems to cope with all that just fine (each instance is launched with its separate cache and settings as intended). 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? PS! Thanks a million for both of the options available under the "Startup" tab in the launcher settings!!11one
