on ubuntu : updating crashed created a new profile Had to apt install winbind created a new wine prefix using wineconsole instead of wine else it crashes. added some lib in it (winetricks msdelta) then launcher started. Added the accounts, added them all to the same profile (“myprofile”) Then started to log in each (was painfully slow but suceeded) . Searched for .dat in the new prefix and old one. Then linked the old core\_user .dat (cp -l ) And copied the core\_char.dat I found all my old settings again. ---

So, I have one question…how do i go back to the old launcher. This new one is a pile of crap. I have two accounts which I run on separate screens. The two screens are different resolutions so, every time i launch my group it automatically opens the two accounts on one screen and it means i spent a couple of minutes resizing and repositioning my open in game tabs and it’s actually making me really pissed off… ---

remove dxvk (all overrides), winetricks msdelta , apt install winbind, replace ‘wine’ call by ‘wineconsole’ I personally did create a new prefix and copied/linked the settings to it and it worked. Can’t make my old prefix to work though. ---

I managed to get the launcher working via steam again by uninstalling and re-installing. However like Lou Lingg said, all my settings are reverted. Additionally, I’ve noticed the graphics now appear to be very broken. Look at the picture of my ship now below, and inside the station: ![dumb launcher change](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/5/1/a/51aa225771c7e2e6196028055f89b9dc29cde763.jpeg) ![inside station stupid launcher](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/eveonline/original/4X/1/b/a/1ba2a849241b35c89464a6b138a9603036781ada.jpeg) Going to try and fix it by using high DPI and downloading the full game. Will post back with results in case anyone else has this problem post-uprade (note: I am using a widescreen monitor) UPDATE: DPI and full game download was nothing to do with it. I realised I put the following launch options in when trying to troubleshoot another issue, and forgot to remove them again: PROTON\_USE\_WINED3D=1 PROTON\_NO\_FSYNC=1 PROTON\_NO\_ESYNC=1 %command% Removing these launch options solved the problem. ---

My operating system work thanks. No idea why you would reply so abruptly with a comment displaying your lack of knowledge. Weird, confrontational, and silly. Just because your upgrade worked, doesn’t mean every user works, cmon this is basic knowledge of any upgrade. ---

So, now that the new launcher has forced itself on my system as well… _(interesting legal "interpretation of the term “opt-in” that you used in the announcement btw)_ Why exactly does **every single account** in my launcher have a Vanguard toon attached to it, including the 15 _alpha accounts_ that aren’t even entitled to play Vanguard ? On a side note, fire whoever is responsible for the mobile app design of the launcher. It looked far better during early beta, when it didn’t have that ugly design. ---

anyone know how I migrate my old settings to this awful new launcher? I copied the whole folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\CCP\EVE\ etc before the update, as I have done many times now since I started in 2014 and have had several new PCs in that time I have needed to move my old UI settings onto, but now when I copy paste my old folder over the new one and log in it ignores the old one and just makes a new one, but with a long \_\_ instead of a short \_ in the folder C:\Users\*\*\*\*\*\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c\_eve\_sharedcache\_tq\_tranquility there are 3 more folders Cache Settings\_c\_program\_files\_(x86)\_ccp\_eve\_tranquility (this is my old settings copied in) Settings\_Deffault In the launcher I select the user profile (x86) which is my newly copied over folder but when I login the UI is not my old UI but every time its the default one. Any pointers or do I need to do something different ith this launcher? Also, how do I delete a profile? In the launcher the account settings where you have chose profile and a box that says start typing to create a profile, well in all this messing about I have typed in a profile name that I want to delete from the options. ---

Cause I have an install on a PC that only has English language installed with NZ as the default location and something is “Using my location” tho the launcher comes up in Japanese ! Sure the character has Some Anglicized Japanese in their name so maybe that was all it needed to bring things up in Japanese? Nani ?! 😅 ---

Whereas in the old Launcher, we were given details of current training times, the new one appears to omit this, which will require going through every character on every account every day to monitor this, or lese keeping a paper record. Or have I missed something, a covert setting, or a hidden screen ? Please advise ---

I ended up having to go into the Launcher Settings then Tools and Cache and use the Look For Profiles. Then on the clients go to Account Settings and select the right profile for each client and check it kept that setting and start the client up. ---
