You say it’s online, but when will it allow us to select a character and actually get into the game (or even display the character selection properly) ![CantSelectCharacter](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/3X/8/d/8da60cda30b9d738b7995aaba365e036d676f6c3.jpeg) ? ---

I am very concerned about the current quality of the updates. Obviously, any intern or outsourced force is allowed to make any adjustments to the updates without any control. How about testing? For a normal IT company, such permanent flops would be very embarrassing. ---

Something broke with this update! Ingame I do not have a keyboard any longer! My last login was Monday, March 2nd - everything working. Yesterday (March 4th): the game is unplayable. Checked today (March 5th): no keyboard ingame! Out of game it works as usual, any app (including the browser to type this text) accepts the keyboard as intended. But ingame, there is no keyboard! I can’t write a bug report ingame! System: Win 10, standard keyboard (no special things, there). Please help! ---

Since this internal change, I’ve noticed that my launcher no longer quits. I have to force-quit it every time. ---
