2026-01-18 11:40:20.726 app error: (node:7816) MaxListenersExceededWarning: Possible EventEmitter memory leak detected. 11 scheduler/triggered listeners added to [IpcMainImpl]. MaxListeners is 10. Use emitter.setMaxListeners() to increase limit

My launcher keeps stalling out lately. Instead of support’s non-help, I decided to look inside and find answers. This error is the only clue I have found so far. I see it speaks of a memory leak and increasing the limit on listeners.

I suspect there is nothing I can do on my end? Here is what is happening in greater detail;
Running Windows 10 OS, no additional software apps running in background with 16 GB RAM.

  • Click icon to launcher.
  • Title “EVE” displays on screen, fades out.
  • Launcher never opens, no error given.
  • Try again and the launcher starts.

Have fun!

That warning means your Node.js application has attached more than 10 event listeners to the same event source (IpcMainImpl) without removing old ones. Node sets a default limit of 10 listeners to help detect potential memory leaks, since repeatedly adding listeners (for example inside a loop or on repeated initialization) can cause memory usage to grow over time. In this case, 11 scheduler/triggered listeners were added, triggering the warning. It doesn’t crash the app, but it usually indicates a logic issue where listeners are being registered multiple times instead of once, or not being cleaned up properly.

And you’re welcome.
