Ok, when I today patched up EVE and saw the new launcher, well ok I thought, whatever they want to do, but then...
...then I tried to play, and that was A PAIN!
pre "New Launcher": me clicks EVE.exe 10 times to put up 10 clients, so I can logg in all those accounts
post "New Launcher": click EVE.exe more than once, and get an error, wait for launcher to load, then click "Play" once, wait until the launcher is responsive again and the first instance loaded, then click "Play" again and repeat this tedious procedure FOR EVERY FKING CLIENT that I want to load!
INTERNS, they have all their coding done by INTERNS, while the real devs are drunk and ****** !!!
What bullshit is that?!
Could someone give me a hack or workaround to start the client directly without fking that fking LAUNCHER first!?
Pretty please!
(and thanks to CCP for again and again wasting my time with implementing "upgrades", "addons" and "improvements" !!!)

Start the client, in the launcher, go to the options menu by clicking on the spanner in top right.
select the options that dont use the launcher and to only use it when a patch is available.
That way, your shortcuts go directly into eve.
Or, you could try just launching the ExeFile.exe itself and making a shortcut to it. |

is the patch really this big or is the launcher just this slow?
The American public's reaction to the change was poor and the new cola was a major marketing failure. The subsequent reintroduction of Coke's original formula, re-branded as "Coca-Cola Classic", resulted in a significant gain in sales, leading to speculation that the introduction of the New Coke formula was just a marketing ploy |

I'll state it here once again.
This is a step fowards.
A step backwards would be having a game client that doesnt know there is a patch avilable, tells you that the server is available and will not connect and will do this when the next patch to fix your client isnt even available and a full client install took them a week to compile.
You have no idea how much more of a PITA eve client used to be.

Same here.
Also, what possible reason is there to not let us have the eyesore minimise to the system tray? If I want Eve "news" I know where to find it. Same goes for account management and buying PLEx. |

as other people put it, Launch done patching. Instead launch oh there's a patch, tell okay to patch. close eve. patch eve. restart eve. having to forcefully restart eve becuase its wrong pathname from what it thought it should be.
Finds out there is a hot patch repeat until caught back up to current client edition. which the crucible edition had been for a while.

You are not paying anything, you get the privilege of being able to test new features that might be added to the game completely for free

I pay CCP for access to a server, one that specifically stipulates that that access is not guaranteed. If that isn't an acceptable level of risk for you, there's the door. |

New features that require feedback is one thing and I agree with you there. However, basic software bugs that are obvious to anyone that starts up the client is quite another. This is not my first rodeo. I've seen this from CCP for years. I used to religiously log into SISI and test like crazy. I stopped when I saw that the bugs (most new) I was reporting were making it to Tranquility anyway. I realized nobody seemed to really be paying attention on the other end even while practically begging for bug reports on the feedback forum. Baffling...
To be clear, I'm not talking about gameplay changes. Those DO need to be tested by actual players. I'm talking about bug hunting which should NOT be the responsibility of the players in any way. They are completely different things. |

You Sir, are a absolutely A-level-idiot, or troll, your choice.
- the client was "aware" of available patches before (old, build in, launcher)
- it is no way faster, but slower in the process with the new launcher
- you have appearantly no clue of how such things work
Oh, and even when "start only when patch is available" is checked, the launcher is "started" first, though not visible, but you still get an error if you try to launch more than one instance without waiting a few seconds!
I still need a hack/workaround to start the client without calling the launcher first, PLEAS HELP! |

I agree with you completely on the bug hunting issue.
The problem at hand however was not the the launcher was in any way "bugged". It is simply not working as the OP wants it to, even though it is working as intended. It's complaining about that, that my post was directed at. |

"not paying anything" ?! ...you seem to have gotten something wrong here
" It is simply not working as the OP wants it to" ...this is wrong, it used to work like this, but stopped with this "upgrade", thereby, this is a bug, yes, as this feature was not intentionally discontinued, but stopped working due to bad implementation.
I still would greatly appreciate any hack/workaround/soloution for this!
It is sooo annoying... -.-

I like it. Okay there was a bug when it first started, but honestly, more people could have tested it, I never did my part so have no right to complain about one post install update.
I was also restricted to my 3G connection this morning when it became available. Despite the shittyness of my CONNECTION it downloaded the new patch smoothly at a decent speed, picking up after dropped connections and really worked quite well.
CCP left plenty options for working around bugs, or ignoring the launcher entirely if you don't want it...
Nope, I see no problems with the launcher, nice addition CCP.
On the other hand, what the HELL did you do to my Invul Fields?! |

Dear CCP,
You all should stop drinking at work, this new launcher is one more useless addition to a game that used to be great.
Why not be sober for a day and work on things that players care about, you might spend time doing things for the players when they are loged in rather than making useless stuff that pisses off your fast dropping subscribers.
Lets walk in station..... NO we ****** that up so just do some flashy useless login that no one cares about and they might forget that we dont give a **** about our players.............................sounds like a line Hilmar might have said to programmers at a meeting. |

You could try reading the post you're commenting on. OP was running EVE, getting the launcher, clicking PLAY, quitting the launcher, running EVE, getting the launcher, clicking PLAY.
The simple version is: run EVE, get the launcher, click PLAY twice.
Do you see the difference?

Ok, again:
"only run launcher for patches" does not "not"-start the launcher, it is just not displayed, this is the way they hooked it up, as the launcher needs to "know" when to "show up" for a patch, before the client starts.
Even with this option, you have to wait until the first client is loaded, and the launcher unloaded, before you can start the 2nd client, or you get an error.
This was not how it used to be, and to once and for all stop the trolling here, this feature was not intentionally discontinued, but stopped working due to bad implementation, therefore it is a "bug" and needs to be fixed, and as I know how fast CCP is at recognizing and then maybe fixing them someday:
I need a hack/workaround/soloution for this!
Please Help!
No further discussion needed, if you dont know how to fix this, troll elsewhere! |

It's just trashed my settings and reset to default because instead of using C:\Users\xxxxxx\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_(x86)_ccp_eve_tranquility it's decided that it'll now use the 8.3 mangled name C:\Users\xxxxxxx\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_progra~2_ccp_eve2_tranquility - so it's back to the full screen, accept EULA, everything dumped back to default.
Copy settings over from the right directory to what it decided to change to, it's back again, but it wasn't doing that 3 hours ago, so what the hell is going on? |

Game launchers are awesome. There is no reason why I should have ot load up the FULL game client to find if its up to date, launchers allow you to see if your client is fully patched BEFORE you load up the actual game client, allowing you to quickly and easily see if you need to download a patch or not. And you can leave them open while not at your PC so that any patch is downloaded and installed for you. Being in a time zone where most games have their downtime's somewhere close to mid night means that when there is an extended downtime for an update, I can simply leave the game launcher open while I sleep and when i get up in the morning, my client is fully patched are ready to go.
I've only been playing MMO's since 2007, but launchers have been around since long before I started playing MMO's, and Eve not having one is something that has always annoyed me for the reasons I mentioned above. Welcome to 10 years ago

This is why we can't have nice things. What-¦s this to do with the settings menu? It does not help here in any way.
There should be a check-box somewhere in there for shut the f*ck up.

Ah, I see. I didn't encounter that problem because my computer is so slow that I can't even try clicking the PLAY button again until it is ready to be clicked :)

I'll admit I didn't test this. But, that's not really my fault since I'm not a forum ***** in most cases and never heard about the launcher until it was forced upon me.
The idea behind the launcher is solid. I love the idea, however the implementation of the launcher is failed. I'm glad that it works for many people I'm happy you can use the launcher and play the game you pay to play.
However, there are plenty of us - me included , that aren't that fortunate. For me, I click my icon to pull up my first eve client (each eve client is in it's own folder, so i'm not running 1 .exe file 8 times i'm running 8 .exe files 1 time), and it tells me there's a patch. So I download the patch, and it loads this launcher.
So the launcher loads, and an hour later it says it's done but unsuccessful. Doesn't try to re-do it, it just has a button that says OK and then shuts down. So, I figure i try to do that again and click on the same icon which gives me this error:
http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/339/error1b.png/
So here i have 2 options. Delete the entire eve folder and re-download the entire 4.7 gigs of the game again. Or run the repair.exe..
#1. re-download eve and install it. installation works, launch eve and of course all my settings are removed (new installation).. Client comes up, tells me there is an update. I select that I wan't to do the update, and the above happens all over again..
#2. run the repair.exe, and it comes up telling me there is an update to it -- selecting yes causes it to error as well.. selecting no, causes it to update anyway - but it doesn't actually work..
So basically, there are plenty of people, sure we may be the 'minority', that are having issues even getting the eve client to work because of this patch. And this is what is wrong with CCP of today. The launcher wasn't necessary. It was an 'addition' that exploded and failed horribly just like the WiS was previously.
I love the idea of the launcher, but it wasn't necessary. It takes no mind, into multi-client users that have multiple client installations. And it obviously wasn't tested enough. It was probably on the test server, but really how many people truely utilize the test server? I tried once, and when after 4 hours of trying to get it to work it wouldn't I gave up and said screw it.
Oh, and now that the repair.exe is on step 7 of 7 heres the output of that..

So, not even the repair.exe works as it should. |

Contrary to what most people say, the launcher actually gives me better multi-client functionality. As i frequently open and close various clients. having the launcher ready to launch from in the background is nice, especially considering for some reason a copy of eve launched from the launcher starts several seconds faster than one from my shortcut (no clue why) |

This is a step fowards.
A step backwards would be having a game client that doesnt know there is a patch avilable, tells you that the server is available and will not connect and will do this when the next patch to fix your client isnt even available and a full client install took them a week to compile.
You have no idea how much more of a PITA eve client used to be.
as other people put it,
Launch done patching.
Instead of
launch oh there's a patch, tell okay to patch. close eve. patch eve. restart eve. having to forcefully restart eve becuase its wrong pathname from watch patcher assumes.
Oh theres another patch repeat until caught up with all hot fixes. You Sir, are a absolutely A-level-idiot, or troll, your choice. - the client was "aware" of available patches before (old, build in, launcher) - it is no way faster, but slower in the process with the new launcher - you have appearantly no clue of how such things work Oh, and even when "start only when patch is available" is checked, the launcher is "started" first, though not visible, but you still get an error if you try to launch more than one instance without waiting a few seconds! I still need a hack/workaround to start the client without calling the launcher first, PLEAS HELP!
Actually once upon a time the splash screen had no ability to patch.
Repair tool didnt exist either.
But you didnt live though that.
