Thanks for your response ISD_Sakimura.
I’ve been poking around in other threads and another person is having the same problem, also starting today, with the removal of logging in directly with the launcher and instead being shown a “Login With Eve” button that brings up a popup. He is using Linux Launcher while I am on windows 7. I’m beginning to wonder if CCP did in fact change the way the launcher works in regards to logging in and didnt tell us. Or some of us simply didnt see a message CCP released about the change.
