I just used the exe (eve-online-latest+Setup.exe) file provided on the website to “install” eve. It launched the launcher, downloaded the client, I added my accounts, and launched the game fine.
However, after closing the launcher I cannot launch it again. The shortcut it created on my desktop does nothing, it isn’t even pointed to any file on my computer. I found a file called “eve-online.exe” in " \AppData\Local\eve-online" which does NOTHING when I try to open it with admin privileges and without. Also update.exe does nothing…
When I run the setup file again from the website, it takes a while as if it is reinstalling the launcher. Eventually the launcher opens and I can see my accounts, but this cannot possibly be intended.
I was really looking forward to making some kind of return to eve but this is really killin the vibe, ya dig?
I noticed this launcher is installed similarly as discord, and have had similar problems with discord across windows 10 and 11… why do this crap? I’m no software engineer but whatever this launcher is using as a framework or whatever is dog shite just like discord.
Even star citizen gets this right…
