I'm not really liking this thing. However, it could be made lovable.
Make the Launcher customizable, by allowing us to 'add' multiple accounts to the launcher. Clicking on one of the multiple 'account launcher' buttons, will launch a client in a pre-specified monitor/resolution, allowing us to launch several accounts from the same launcher.
I can no longer just doubleclick on my Main and Alt icons on the desktop without getting errors about trying to run the launcher multiple times from the same folder.
I have symlinked the folder (so its technically the same folder but located in different directories in the filesystem, as recommended by eve's multi client setup guide) |

One thing that I found with the launcher was when I press "play" it doesnt tell me if the client is loading or not. At first i was frantically clicking play think it was broked.
For alts. I open the game, tab out, then run launcher again. It doesnt take too much longer depending on how many alts you have.

Here here, with so many players running multiple accounts i find it incredulous that the launcher did not support this outa the box. Very annoying having to close the launcher after running the game too. |

The only time I see the launcher is when an update is waiting. And I can launch multiple clients with a mouse click anyway.
Did y'all not find the settings button or something?

Yes it would be nice if the launcher closed after patching since I have it only show when there is a patch in the first place. That's my only nit-pick with the launcher. I click the shortcut for my first client, if there is no update I don't even see the launcher as I selected that option. I have no issues launching additional clients same as before. If there is a patch, the launcher installs it and I close the launcher. I launch my clients same as always without seeing the launcher afterward.

I launch my clients by double-clicking with no problems. I only see the launcher if there is a patch on the first client. After it patches I close the launcher and double-click on my desktop icons same as before with no errors. It gives you an error if you don't close the launcher before starting the other clients. After it patches, you don't need the launcher loaded to start your clients. If this isn't the case for you, maybe it's because my clients are junctioned. I only ever needed to patch the one client anyway. Can I have your vindicator? |

I just got to ask out of my own interest (not because i think launcher is broked) but do you guys have a dedicated QA/Testing team? or do all the devs of a particular team jump on bored with the bug hunting in house?

I don't mind the launcher too much, however my patch download speeds are ABYSMALLY BALLSACK WTFBBQ SLOW even though I cranked up the number of download threads. Cmon CCP I was downloading them at 1.5mb a second before! "Sings me a dances of wolfs, who smells fear and slays the coward. Sings me a dances of mans, who smells gold and slays his brother." |

I actually like the launcher. I don't really see what all the fuss is about.
Already it seems CCP is patching more frequently, which is a good thing too. |

Windows 7 64 bit, clicking on the launcher link that says "Inferno/dust514/fhe future of eve", raises a blank IE 9 window.
Further to that I couldn't raise "about internet explorer" until I loaded a page such as google, so I suspect the issue is with IE 9 and how it handles new windows.
Making Firefox the default brower fixes the issue as the launcher opens any links in a new tab of the existing browser.
Nevertheless, this may be an issue for other people using IE 9 as their default browser.
Is CCP willing to do testing on this?

This could mean that the future is wide open! On the other hand it could mean there is no future...
Seriously though, devs should realize that Windows comes with a perfectly adequate DEFAULT BROWSER setting. I hate it when launchers force you to use one particular browser (usually IE) instead of the browser you have already told the OS you want to be used as default. Not only CCP is guilty of this. |

I dunno, I kinda like it tbh, but if it could patch multiple accounts at once it would be much more cool tho |

I've tested this on two windows 7 machines now (both 64 bit) both have the same issue of opening blank windows if the default browser is IE 9. |

Also please let us launch Sisi/ other test servers from the launcher.
It should be a one-stop shop for everything client related imo |

CCP: Doing It Their Own Way
I'm seeing the new launcher as Incarna-revisited all over again. CCP had some pie-in-the-sky idea about designing a new nifty launcher that would install updates and patches, but also do these really cool things called X, Y, and Z. After some extended development period, it turned out that the developers were struggling with the implementation of X, Y and Z, so they released the launcher that accomplished what the old system had accomplished. Since the old system worked for everyone, and this new system does not, one can safely call the new launcher a failure at release.
Why is CCP releasing technology that does nothing more that what was currently implemented? Have a goal, release the goal. If you're going to give us a new launcher, we, as players, should immediately be able to see why you've thrown money and developers at the solution. I don't think there are any players who understand why this new launcher needs to exist, in its current state of development.

I really like the new launcher, but more info shown would be better.
I'd really love it if you can log on and IN the launcher you can switch between alts.
I.E. You log into the launcher and pick your character from there and when you want to switch toons you just click on another toon, and BAM! client automatically resets with that toon.

If you see the new launcher as Incarna and see a few small hiccups in a new launcher as a failure. I have to question if you are trolling or just hate CCP that much.
Because it works fine for the VAST majority of people and many of the issues for others have been fixed. Some of the others are outside of CCP hands completely (People not understanding the changes some anti-malware does to a computer) And it working for the vast majority now means faster and smaller updates allowing feedback on smaller changes that arent compressed in with a big update.
That is what is called a success!

I have no idea how you equate Incarna to the new launcher. I havent had one issue with the launcher at al.
I think this is a troll post, it has to be.

In this case the new launcher does nothing that the old "launcher" didn't do. And since the new launcher caused a bunch of problems, and some people still cannot play ... it is certainly not a success. The STAIN Travel Bookmark Collection - 451 Bookmarks |

Time and time again I feel the need to have a job that pays enough for me to afford a plane ticket so I can fly to where ever the developer for the launcher is and slap him/her repeatedly...
I haven't launched EVE for 2-3 days, and about 30min ago I began my first attempts at launching it, got an "updating the launcher" small window, and I thought, cool, might see some changes to the OTHERWISE USELESS launcher...
Well its been a few restarts, and some cache/trash cleaning, and lo and behold, neither the launcher, or eve will start... or even the safe mode .exe... (yes i know shortcut all of them to the eve.exe, still had to say it for stupidity's sake)
I have ****** AT&T DSL, so having to run the REPAIR TOOL for ANYTHING other then DATA CORRUPTION, IE CCP mistakes, makes me WANT TO SLAP a DEV...
So heres me, starting to try the repair tool, then an out-right reinstall of EVE on my ****** ass 3Mb DSL connection... Thanks alot CCP, it may not be a deleted boot.ini file but its the next best thing... I can start windows still but I cant seem to start EVE... WELL PLAYED |

Why was the launcher released without multi client support?
Why wasn't it released with bit torrent support?
Why is it using my browser to hook to the web and not is't own built-in?
Why can't I double click on the EVE.exe file and launch EVE without the launcher?
Why am I being forced to use it? I understand you want to show off your hard work on a popup I could have made in 15 minutes with AutoPlay Media Studio. But forcing me to use it is rude.
MOST IMPORTANTLY:
WHY WAS IT RELEASED WITH THE COUNTLESS BUGS REPORTED IN THE TEST FORUMS?

Incarna wasn't even half finished so your comparison still fails.
Cut CCP some slack on this one...anything they can do to make getting game fixes pushed out faster and easier is a good thing. The artist formerly known as Ladie Scarlet. |
