So, if I understand this horrible new patcher correctly, after i patch my first client i then have to export that, then import it for the next.
So how about, ya know, if you allow us to put the patch by default into a default folder and let us set the launcher to check there first for patches.
Previously it was:
Client 1 downloads patch, un-check clean up.
Client 2 and so on don't have to be told where the patch is.
Now:
Client 1 downloads patch.
Export patch.
Client 2 starts up, tries to download patch.
Client 2 then needs to be told to import the patch.
By the way, thanks for deleting all my settings. I really love the random reload into the CQ trash. |

If Launcher can't install client updates, this isn't that big change since I am still required to restart EVE for most installs. This! What good is a super fancy Launcher if it can't handle *all* client updates. All this Launcher does is create more steps for me to get into the game. Where is the value-add?
The Launcher took a little fiddling to figure out with a junction-based EVE-O client installation, too.
Steps to launch multiple clients (Win7 64 bit OS):
1) Open client #1 by double-clicking on the previously made EVE-O client shortcut.
2) Press "Play" in the new Launcher.
3) Close the Launcher.
4) Open client #2 by double-clicking on the previously made shortcut to the first junction.
5) Press "Play" in the new Launcher.
6) Close the Launcher.
Rinse and repeat for subsequent junction-based client launches.

As of 01:40 GMT (14th March) we released a new Launcher (Version 1.09) and a new repair tool to resolve some issues that players have been experiencing during the initial deployment of Crucible 1.5.
Those of you experiencing issues with the Launcher or updating the game, please follow these steps:
1.Reboot the computer.
2.Navigate to the EVE client install folder.
3.Run the Repair tool until it finshes.
4.Run eve.exe from the same folder
We ask people to reboot their computer to make sure that there are no locked files or other processes running while running the repair tool. This would otherwise interfere with the repair tool and prevent the client from updating.
Please let us know if this resolves the issues you are experiencing.

There's some option though not hidden, in the Launcher's Options settings window - Startup tab that will Close the Eve Launcher after starting Eve Online when you check the box... |

The bookmark ordering problem seems to be general, rather than specific to bookmarks. My skills are now in random order within the groups too.
Also, can you please ditch that stupid splash screen? Or at least make it not be on top of everything else. |

A few people mentioned it before, but I want to add emphasis...
Fix the quickbar ordering! It's quite useful to me alphabetical, but if they keep an order I set, that'd work too.
It's seriously messing with my market-fu :( |

Bookmarks in "Personal locations" section in right-click menu are not sorted after update. At least for me.
Hope it is a bug, not a feature and will be fixed soon. |

joking! nice work on it, it looks a little less like a potato now... and remember a little less an upside dawn tennis.... but I still think that it would make a good use of a drone bay opening (with that green light, just like magatron have in its middle.)

I liked the manual download of the patches because my bandwidth in this country in the middle of africa is pretty limited.
143 MB take me half a day to download, if no power interruptions take place. With a real download manager it was no issue, just patience. Now it needs to work in one go, I wonder when that will happen here...
My game time is ending shortly, so I will see what choice I have to make. |

Changing the CFBundleName to the second or 3rd instance doesn't work anymore on Mac. Is there something I'm missing on the Mac side to get multiple clients to work again? |

CCP...do you ever, I mean EVER, actually test this stuff before dumping it on everyone? Seriously, my 11 installation folders that I use (1 per account) are all pretty much trashed now.
Previously what I would do is update a master installation folder that doesn't get used to play the game, nice clean install, has all the patches up to date, etc. Then I would use robocopy to sync this folder with all the other installation folders. Then run any client updates as they came along for each client that I started. I learned a long time ago that running multiple clients from a single install folder was a BAD thing to do since CCP seem to be good on theory but absolutely useless in the practical application of software.
Right now the only way I can get any clients to work is run the repair tool...11 times! And even then each time the repair tool runs it deletes C:\ProgramData\CCP\EVE....why do that? You've just deleted ALL the updates on all my other clients. So now it's an endless loop of repair -> download update -> next client fails to repair -> download update -> RINSE AND ******* REPEAT!!!! ARRRRRRGGGGGHHHH!!!!!
WHY CHANGE THINGS NOW AND WHY ONLY DO IT HALF BAKED???? WHY??????!!!!!
Seriously, what is wrong with you people?????
EDIT: one more thing. Stop saying "it's on our list of things to do". Nobody believes you since this is your standard answer to questions like "why didn't you do this properly the first time?" |

I run multiple clients. hopefully the launcher will now stop the multiple 4mb dl;s for each client? (btw. why do you not use the %user%\appdata\local\ccp\eve\download dir?)
Patches with the launcher. WHY OH WHY the root of the game install? Surely the appdata\local\ccp\eve\patches dir would be more sensible and allow easier multi client patching using the launcher?
Just some thoughts.
^this
i run 2 clients, i have to wait till both the clients are installed. and more annoying, one of my 2 clients had serious issues due to the patch, no overview, no neocom, ship not visible, pos not visible... so i cleared cache, setting, repairtool..nothing worked really. i was forced to download and install the whole client again.
as it is pretty slow it is installing for hours. all hours i am unable to play,
we can argue about how much baww that is, but if you have not that much spare time and need to spend the whole evening
downloading 1 client and being unable to play on the other account due to this then that is a little bit dissapointing.
launcher looks great but i would love to see those buttons 'settings' etc to be highlighted. it will improve the readability. i knew those buttons were somehwere but i had to look for them pretty hard :p

Try to do some programming. It is a hell of a lot smarter to release something that works (if it works on their computers, they have to release to see what breaks on our computers) without all the functionality, because debugging a simple program and fixing that takes an insane amount of time off the time it would take to find and fix bugs if they released the launcher with full functionality.
TL;DR, you don't know how programming stuff works |

I don't get the point of adding a new application (launcher) to download patches without starting EvE, when....
... you start EvE and it still finds updates to apply and still have to restart the client like before the launcher was introduced.
I mean, you add a piece of software (that I know costed a lot of hours to code) that runs all the time and is effectively only useful once a month (a bigger update).
At the same time, said piece of software won't avoid a client restart in the most common situation of a client update.
Am I alone at thinking this has little sense?

they stated somewhere client updates will go in the short term,
they didnt want to change too much in this single patch just to prevent too much mess and bugs.
btw. in the launcher settings you can set it up to disappear again after client start and only show up on updates. |

Bugs:
- sound volume is no longer dependent on the distance to sound source (ie you hear modules even fully zoomed out)
- comma no longer works as decimal separator, Win7 locale Finnish

I tried a mission. I accepted it, went to the intended system, right clicked to warp to it and...
... no "warp to" menu entry.
Had to add the mission warp point as bookmark in the people and places window, then I could warp to that bookmark.

So yesterday I jump on the PC to have a quick bit of eve-time only to find that there is a new patch. Being the owner of 4 accounts makes this the usual headache...
I patch all four clients and and enjoy a good game of eve.
TODAY I return to the PC after a very enjoyable 14hr Night shift, only to to find the usual Patch for the previous Patch... I get ready for the usual 2-10mb patch to fix the previous patch, but find that the new launcher (Not that there was anything wrong with the old one..) Stop 1/3 of the way through the installation and give an error message.
I try it on the other 3 accounts and get the same issue... Try running the "repair.exe" in the installation folder and get another ERROR message. Now I'm back to RE-INSTALLING 4 accounts.
Two quick Questions:
1 - Did Any1 else experience the same prob today?
2 - After years of the game being live when are we going to have a patch that doesn't require an aditional patch ? Surely some1 needs to test these things before going live on tranquility ?

I found a new issue on both my PC and Laptop (Both win 7) after 1.5 patch.
Normal when you are in battle and the sound are loud, you can zoom out to get on distance and sound will play as on distance (Not that loud) This doesnt help anymore, so you have to go into your setting to reduce the over all volume. Problem if you do this, is the sound of an uncloak can be really hard to hear.

I'm usually very calm towards CCP, even if something doesn't go the way it should. I was patient during the monoclegate. But I don't like what's being done to EVE right now.
* The Installer is great - at least for people playing on one account. Please include the "optional" client updates ASAP - launcher should decrease the patching time, not increase it.
* Module name changes are good neither for new players (tutorials are out of date now) nor for veterans (learn names again). It seems 29 pages of feedback is not enough for our dear Devs to understand this. Not to mention a quiet omission from the patch notes. How many times did miscommunication happen so far, dear Devs?
* Crucible 1.0 and 1.1 were great. 1.5 is by far the worst part of it.
Now the positives:
* small things are great! Keep them coming!
* Implant name change is welcome - there were simply too many to memorize anyway.
I believe the feedback we give You will result in some constructive fix. |

Thanks for the feedback, it's appreciated  We're planning on doing exactly that, but we have to do it carefully, since it requires changes to the EVE client logon mechanics (the patch is offered to the client in a strange, legacy manner) and we don't want to change the way it's done, and leave people connecting from University networks or via various ISP's to become traffic shaped.
Fear not! we will move it into the Launcher

I connect through my universities proxy, or at least used to. Auto updates never worked but that wasn't an issue. Looks like i won't be able to play eve for 4 years, I can't download 5gb every 2 days.
The exe in the bin folder worked fine, but obviously my client's now out of date. I really don't understand what purpose removing manual updates serves
My university uses NAT.
Exe
Doesn't launch. Doesn't even start a process or prompt any response from the log server.
---
Exe in bin folder.
Starts. Incompatible protocol now due to it being an outdated build. The most interesting thing from the log server is it saying 'Unexpected response from server:'
'*then delivering line by line the message you get when you try to connect to the uni network without using proxy settings/validating your computer*'
Is the launcher not using my systems connection settings or spoofing another machine or something?
---
Launcher
No connection could be made to the content server. Please make sure that your Internet connection is up and restart the Launcher
