Endeavour Starfleet 704	Posted - 2012.03.16 00:13:00 - [31] - Quote You know fools. I wonder how they are feeling at CCP when every time they remotely try to do anything to help people affected by an issue they get topics full of whiny fools, people demanding compensation (A PLEX for a day or two lost? WUT?) And other idiots who think their nonstandard PC setup full of software piracy and crap should run EVE as perfectly as a good standardized setup. Do you not read? This launcher is going to mean less time pushing out fixes so they can push out smaller stuff and be able to get feedback instead of mixing it in with other stuff because its easier to do that. Better quality EVE at the cost of a good looking launcher that can keep you updated? Count me in.
NeoShocker Interstellar eXodus BricK sQuAD. 116	Posted - 2012.03.16 01:20:00 - [32] - Quote Is it me or the launcher don't like two seperate eve-folders in seperate HDs (or different location for that matter)? My main eve folder is unders steam folder on a dedicated "steam" 1T HD. Error came up in patcher and same with repair tool. So I ran my alt folder on my main HD, located on desktop. Ran flawlessly. So I deleted eve-o folder from steam and copy and paste the folder on my alt's eve folder to steam. No problems. Then today, I ran eve from steam and it all patched up. Then I did my alt's patch process and there was some patching error. So just did another copy and paste, but this time from steam folder since it is working.
Silinde Telemnar Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 0	Posted - 2012.03.16 01:33:00 - [33] - Quote For those looking for a way to start Eve Directly without the launcher try C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe or what ever you have your eve installed to\bin\Exefile.exe
Imalittle cynoalt Cynoalts R US 0	Posted - 2012.03.16 02:12:00 - [34] - Quote I am not one of the players "who enjoy" the new launcher even though I really haven't had any problems with it...other than it taking forever to patch and now I lag when I duel box. Not sure what the purpose of the CCP EVE Online Launcher is. I have been using EVE Launcher (http://eve.grismar.net/evelauncher/index.php?page=about) for the majority of the time I've been playing EVE. Using it allowed me to duel box. EVE launcher also allowed me to clear my cache out of the game without losing my settings with a single click long before there was an option to do so in the game. It would be nice to have your launcher allow me to log on multiple accounts with only a single launcher vice having one launcher for each account. I also notice that the new launcher uses twice as much memory as EVE launcher does, which might explain the a fore mentioned lag. I also notice that it is taking my EVE client longer to load. Not sure why this is, but I can go make a pot of coffee, get the mail or paper, use the head, have that first cup of coffee, and get my next before the client loads at times. Seeing as how you are going to keep this, it would be nice if you could have it allow for multiple account log on, cut down the amount of memory it uses, clear our cache externally, and not take so long to get the updates installed.

Hey stupid.. take a moment to read what you're saying here.. go back.. rethink it.. and then come to realize you're a bloody tard.. First off CCP was told about these issues two months ago. They ignored them. Repeatedly. Oh they replied to people that were having the problem on the Sisi threads HOWEVER, CCP failed to act on reliable information which was coming quite a number of players about the data corruption issues and launcher failures. So, let's examine your logic.. Oh wait.. You have none.. You don't put out a product with KNOWN ISSUES that with the number of people reporting issues could have ended up being a far larger group of people that CCP was lucky enough to actually end up affecting.. There are still people that are day three into not being able to play and CCP has done nothing to help. CCP offers up solutions that are HALF solutions which were authored by members of the community without giving credit to the peopling involved in coming up with reliable work arounds for their failures. Now shut up and go back to your corner where you belong. You know jack and diddly squat about this issue.
Siiee Recycled Heroes 28	Posted - 2012.03.16 02:50:00 - [36] - Quote devblog wrote: Since the Crucible 1.5 patch on Tuesday we have had more than 220,000 users log in to Tranquility with approximately 6,000 people having launcher issues. This is 6,000 too many and I want to apologise for the inconvenience to those users. Just to be an ass I'd like to point out that in the past you've discontinued hardware support that effected more people than that, at the time "less than 3%" was no big deal. CCP Cascade wrote: If we would have gone with the GÇ£Only display the Launcher window when there is an updateGÇ¥ players who wanted to have it stay would have had one time (per patch) to find the settings window and the many other useful options that are in there. While I agree in general with you there, what's painful is how you've ignored the "correct" solution to the problem. As a computer using professional for many years I know the generally accepted system for welcome screens. You put a small checkbox on the main screen that is just labeled "Show this window at startup" There is no way that noone on the launcher team is aware of this, so the idea that the defacto standard interface for this exact thing was shot down hurts my head. I don't see what the problem with accessing a hidden launcher is either. You already have "safe mode" eve shortcuts installed with the game, you put a "Eve Launcher" shortcut right next to it in your installed menu. Problem solved, crisis averted I don't even see any reason why the launcher could not look at the eve client configuration for a flag whether to launch or not. All you need is a new checkbox in the eve main client general settings of "always display launcher", then you don't even have to launch a separate application to turn it back on. CCP Cascade wrote: We thought that this would be a too shy approach and actually not show off the feature and get people used to it. If you make it good, people will use it. If you think that people won't go out of their way to use something on their own then perhaps it isn't as awesome-amazing-super-great as you think it is (and maybe forcing it on to start won't gain you any goodwill). However no CCP team in the recent past has understood this concept, so I'm not the least bit surprised. CCP Cascade wrote: The other option which is called GÇ£Close the EVE Launcher after starting the EVE OnlineGÇ¥ was heavily debated internally. We chose to go with having it stay open after launch so that users would be able to start multiple clients more easily. I already launch my eve client with one click. At best the launcher (in it's default configuration) adds one click to my multi-client startup (instead of just launching as many eve instances as I want I now have to launch the launcher and move over and click play multiple times) Even worse since the launcher blocks other launchers from starting I can't launch a 2nd eve client using different configuration files without manually closing the first launcher and opening a 2nd one >.< So really the only multi-clienters that you help with the launcher are the most casual ones who already hunt and pick through their entire start menu to launch each client. Even for someone who just double clicks a shortcut on their desktop the new system is more complicated. If your launcher supported multiple client configurations, and automatically moved windows into predefined locations then you might have something. Until then you offer nothing that any self respecting multi-client user couldn't already do faster using built in OS tools. Thankfully that's all resolved by digging in the options and fixing things the way they should be (thank God for that!) But I still find the choices of defaults and ignoring the well accepted way of doing things frustrating.
Pyfintlyn Lukqplm Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 0	Posted - 2012.03.16 03:07:00 - [37] - Quote Still have the issue. Repair tool does not run on a mac. Do I have to delete and reinstall???? Would really like to play. Thanks for working on a solution CCP.
Vanessa Vansen Cybermana 17	Posted - 2012.03.16 05:17:00 - [38] - Quote What about the option to let the launcher window be available to launch multiple clients on mac? And now that you may have settings different settings for each character, how about being able to copy them, so that you don't have to do all the setup over and over again? (XML prefered to DAT)
TheLostPenguin Surreal Departure 22	Posted - 2012.03.16 10:22:00 - [39] - Quote Not a direct launcher issue exactly but still related so posting here in the hope this is still being read: When I start up EVE if there's patching needed I see "Incompatible (Protocol)" as allways at the login screen, however the client instead of pointing me to run the launcher to patch prefers to dl and reinstall the whole launcher, how about making it check first to see whether there's a copy of the launcher already installed?
Vyktor Abyss The Abyss Corporation 82	Posted - 2012.03.16 10:47:00 - [40] - Quote You suggest you'll be able to push out more regular but smaller fixes etc... My question is how will you manage version control and backups/rollbacks? Suppose you introduce a fix that has a consequence of creating a new bug or issue (for example deleting all mine blueprints) which isn't picked up and flagged by the players for a few days later, during which time you've then deployed several other small fixes. How do you go about restoring or rolling back since presumably your backups are daily during downtime? Do we players then have to wait days/week with the issue (for example having no mine blueprints) while you work out a method to restore without losing too many incremental patches? I just sense you're only seeing the positives of being able to deliver patches quicker and not considering the potential drawbacks of less version control. Already I had to download the launcher, then a patch for the launcher, then restart, then patch eve, then restart.... I'd rather be playing the game.

Skera Century Mining Corporation 0	Posted - 2012.03.16 10:52:00 - [41] - Quote Im actually frustrated with the pice of crap to be honest... The new launcher makes the starting of my eve experience lengthy to put it mildly.. Launching 6 accounts before was only a matter of single clicking my icon 6 times, and then 6 clients would ramp up on my screen and load up.. Now i have to wait for EACH client to fully load before i can click again, or i will get a warning that there can only be one launcher instance of the game at any given time... That means that in stead of taking maybe 30 seconds to launch 6 clients, i now have to spend almost 2 min to launch my clients... Unhappy camper with the change..

Many of the quick, small updates we are looking at involve things like crash fixes rather than in-game content although not exclusively. This blog from a while ago shows you some of the tools we are putting in place for this. What we found was that getting those "One line fixes" for these problems out to our players was tying up huge amounts of resources due to our old method for pushing out updates. The size of the updates was often much larger than they will be with the new launcher system. This way we can react faster and have more people working on the things they should be doing. The potential problems you list are still things we need to be very careful about but we are moving much more to a model where we can support small regular updates as well as the more traditional large expansions which happen a couple of times a year.

Lenore Leelu Obsidian Dynamics 8	Posted - 2012.03.16 12:00:00 - [44] - Quote One Issue with the launcher that I have not seen addressed is this: None of the images or areas that are clearly intended to be links open up in a browser when clicked. They open a blank page in IE on Windows 7 (64 bit) They open fine however in Safari on OS X Lion.

Stop running the launcher every time then, it's just wasting your time. Open up the shortcut you use for EVE and change the path to run "[appropriate path]\CCP\EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe" This assumes you run all your instances of EVE from the one install (which it sounds like you do), it will run the client directly taking you straight to the login screen w/o touching the launcher. Just bear in mind that if there IS a patch needed the client will annoyingly try to reinstall the launcher for you as i mentioned above, you can just close the client and run the launcher to get patched. EDIT:Why when forum reloads a draft post (after eating it first time around) must it delete certain bits of punctuation?

Do you have one install that you run 6 times? 6 separate installs? Where is it installed? Program Files? Somewhere else? I'm really curious about your configuration, since one of the issues we've encountered, is that without official support for multiple account holders who love to multibox, everyone has gone out and in a lot of cases, rolled their own solutions. I've seen people using batch scripts to launch multiple clients, bypassing and going straight to ExeFile.exe versus people installing to multiple drives, and then others using hard/softlinks or junctions. Each one poses different problems, so the more information you can give us on your setup, the better we can understand what you're doing and why, and come up with an appropriate solution.

Divi Filus New Xenocracy 0	Posted - 2012.03.16 13:25:00 - [48] - Quote Posting this here, because CCP apparently cba to check their own thread in the appropriate forum, and apparently this is of too little concern for the issues thread: Mac users are still stuck with launcher version 1.04, which does not give us the option to bypass the launcher unless there is a patch. When can we expect this feature?

When can we expect this feature? And as mentioned before, there is no option for the launcher window to stay open for mac. At the moment I have to re-start the whole app, instead of just clicking play to run another instance of the actual eve client. And, as mentioned above by Skera, it would be great to just click "Play" x-times and have x eve clients a few seconds later, instead of having to wait that one client is up and running before being able to start the next one.
taintedms Army of the 4 Races Revival Of The Talocan Empire 4	Posted - 2012.03.16 15:18:00 - [50] - Quote Alright, so good decision or not here is the only issue i am seeing ATM. I have a junction setup (as per suggestion from the eve wiki about how to dual box). The path it created for the second client ends up being C:\CCP\EVE and C:\CCP\EVE2 If i launch both clients at the same time it attempts to install the update for both, causing both to break. The only way to fix this is to run the repair tool on both. There needs to be a mechanic built in that identifies if another instance of the launcher has been opened, and if so do not attempt to patch (perhaps notify that only one client can be open while patching). At the least this will save time by not having to run the repair tool, and will allow us dual box guys to still open both clients at the same time without worrying about breaking the launcher update process.


CCP Cascade 100	Posted - 2012.03.16 15:54:00 - [51] - Quote Hi all, At 14:20 GMT today (16 march), we released the new version of the Launcher 1.11. There is no update for Mac and we will be looking closer at Mac over the next couple of days and potentially releasing an update to it next week. Launcher 1.11 Patch Notes: Numerous fixes to the Launcher self-update mechanism Fixed an error where the browser process spawned by clicking links in the Launcher inherited the file handles of the Launcher itself, causing permissions conflicts while patching. Properly managing paths with a variety of unexpected characters such that the Launcher doesn't assume that a process is running from the folder under its purview. The Launcher needlessly held onto the handles of processes that it suspected were running from the directory under its purview. This has been corrected. Added logging of HTTP Headers such that we're better able to debug Firewall/Router/Antivirus interference. Forced the Launcher's embedded browser to log to the EVE/launcher folder, reducing interference with the patching process, and removing clutter. Changed the method by which we delete old files before they're successfully patched. Reduced the amount of time we wait for the Launcher to attempt to send logs to a hard limit of 3 seconds. We now request non-cached copies of all meta-data files from the web, which should reduce instances of the Repair Tool or Launcher erroneously patching to a previous version. The Launcher has been further hardened to closure during various stages of execution. Associate Technical Producer - Core Technology Group

This works for now, but when we push out a patch, you still have to start the Launcher regardless. Indeed you still require running the launcher to patch, but the rest of the time it's quicker and easier to run the exe directly, hopefully you guys aren't planning to spam patches every other day or anything like that, running the launcher once per week if you've sent out a patch sounds fine, and faster startups the rest of the time ps if there is any consideration to abandon the current weekly schedule for patch deployment please reconsider, it's annoying when you have to push out patches more frequently to fix serious breakages, but entirely understandable. Please don't think that because it got easier from your end to deploy stuff that players want to be waiting for patching every day.
Achaiah7 Interwebs Cooter Explosion Fatal Ascension 2	Posted - 2012.03.16 16:17:00 - [53] - Quote Sturmwolke wrote: Live deployment with no Plan B ... or Plan C. What happened? Those users facing patch issues could have been given the option for manual download and have the launcher bypassed altogether. The repair tool should remain independent of the launcher processes in cases where the launcher may/would fail - its more mature in terms of use. Now, I've noticed that each time you start EVE (through eve.exe shorcut), it actually latches onto the launcher (presumably to check for updates), even though you've set the launcher to "Only display launcher when there is an update". This to me, looks like an Achilles heel .... especially when your code is still immature. An option to COMPLETELY BYPASS the launcher to start the game (after making sure repair has updated it) should exist. +1 on this. I have not had a successful patch process yet. My PC client deleted all of my settings and I had to re-do every keyboard shortcut, window layout etc. for all of my chars. :( :( :( My Mac client patched correctly then died and now I cannot launch EVE at all... the launcher comes up but when it tries to launch EVE, the game crashes without warning. Seriously CCP, please release beta versions or test your stuff more before plunging head-first into a new setup. E.g. option of bypassing the launcher would have been a very nice feature for those of us who are having issues.

Jaxun Shadoweyes Ordo Ars Scientia Ordo Magna 0	Posted - 2012.03.16 16:23:00 - [55] - Quote Launcher feature request: please let me use the launcher as a sort of password locker. Instead of a single Play button, I would like to have separate Play buttons that I can associate with each of my accounts, so that I can avoid typing so many passwords when I sit down for a few minutes of quick multi-toon mission-running squeezed in before falling asleep. (Were there already command-line params that would help with this? Were they made obsolete by the launcher?) To make this more "secure", the launcher could optionally have a single password that I enable if I'm anticipating that anyone else could access my computer. Thanks!
E man Industries SeaChell Productions 222	Posted - 2012.03.16 16:36:00 - [56] - Quote none of these issues but the launcher has made opening 2 clients much harder. Have to open one fully and close the launcher then open the other rather than just selecting both from my start menu and they both load to log in. *Need more-ádecent content a casual player can access in a 1-2h play period that is actually fun and contributes to long term personal and corp goals. This applies to PvE and PvP.*
Silenciel Penguins at school 0	Posted - 2012.03.16 17:09:00 - [57] - Quote My little personal case. Two accounts and two directories. The first was "correctly" patched. The second has failed both with patch and repair. So delete the second and copy the first, then ok. Why "correctly"' ? Because the patch is not enough applied from a second place (in document and setting) but only in the game directory. The consequence was my hard disk yelling at moon. My C and D are not on the same hard disk and before this patch, patchs were quietly installed. Please, let us set the place of the destination and application patch ! For two directory, it's boring, too. Patch the first, ok, second directory : go quickly in options, import the patch from the first directory and let's patch, wich erase anything done until patch import... It was really more simple before. Sorry for my bad english, not my first langage.

So ultimately I'm stuck in a loop. Any Advice or help would be nice. Thank you.
