Old Launcher Deprecated from 7 February 2024

Did anyone already got an auto updated launcher?

JUST NOW AND I AM REALLY MAD

Thx for the new launcher. :japanese_goblin:
Please use it yourself and bring back the old one for the players :roll_eyes:

If you click outside the scope of the popup it disappears without opting in to either option. Or at least it did for me just now. Just saying.

Did you change the location of the client installation, when prompted by the new launcher? Or did you immediately click [Install]?

If the latter, and you’re not seeing the profiles in the drop-down to apply them per account, you may…

  • Open the Settings (cog icon top right)
  • Select Tools / Cache
  • Click on the Look for Profiles button

This should populate your dropdowns with profiles that have previously been used when starting clients.


In case of the latter you will need to correct the name of the profiles directory in %localappdata%\CCP\EVE\ to match your current client installation path.

When everything is great and there are no issues, an issue has to be invented to validate existence… just like a woman.

… You’re not engineers. You don’t need to make up problems in order to solve them, that’s a waste of time. You could’ve just updated the stupid libraries used in the deprecated launcher in order to use updated and improved securities… But no, you wanted your launcher to have the equivalent of “construction grade makeup”…

Right now, just like it was with the UI you’ve shoved down our throats that no one asked for (except the multiple overview system, obviously,) which added nothing of significant value other than what I mentioned before, the new launcher adds nothing of significant value other than slow performance, an unrequested client by anyone, major annoyances like personal settings being reset for absolutely no reason, or by not even running at all either through “silent treatment” or outright null point exception errors.

Interestingly enough, there is a game that has been working for (I believe) 10 years and they updated their launcher to use CEF 8 years ago… It still works, works perfectly, and they can add and remove whatever they feel like it and it never breaks or stops working… I can only wonder why you didn’t do the same thing…

The least you could’ve done was to keep the old launcher being supported and recompile everything to amd64 (usually known as x64 or 64-bit), instead of claiming that Eve Online is x64 when I can clearly see that its i386 (a.k.a. x32 or 32-bit)… Yeah, that’s the good thing about Linux, we can see the stuff you sweep under the carpet at any time… Not even the new launcher is x64, its x32+.

Where is the search box so I can type the character name and click the alt I want?
People with +100 characters are in great struggle now!
:hot_face:

Just add a search box, please

CTRL+F (MacOS ⌘+F) → Search for characters | Search for account

The relevant account/character will be selected in the list. You can also opt for directly starting characters/accounts from the search.

So after launcher “update” i was repeatedly asked if I’d like to download and install 35 GB of Eve Online. Cancelling simply made the same prompt appear again and again. Out of curiosity I eventually clicked install and to my astonishment, without looking for further confirmation, indeed whole game started to download. I quitted the launcher almost immediately and noticed that the game was deleted, with brand new 30+ gb of free space on my hdd.
Thanks CCP, once again you proved you indeed know what your customers need. My only request is that you’d also automatically cancel any recurring subscriptions when launching next “update”, doing it manually is pain in the ass.

thats my launcher now and space ships maddness is over for me.
probably i will work better now.

Absolutely no sympathy.

If you’ve partaken in the beta previously, check if you have the “Download the full client” option enabled in the settings, you can then disable it and restart the launcher to prevent it from downloading the full game client.

If the [install] button is clicked when prompted without changing the directory, it will use the previous install directory, then check for any updates and apply them if necessary. If you change the directory that was suggested, it may result in a new instance of the client being downloaded & installed.

Note: 33+GB is the expected size for a full game client, which if you don’t let the launcher download, the client will download it for you while playing. The old launcher was not transparent about this expected requirement for a full game client.

When prompted, just confirm the directory, then click install.

For users with the old launcher default directory it should show as C:/EVE/SharedCache

Thank you, I hope this fixes the problem than my EVE Launcher is consuming more cpu than 4 eve clients right now

Those spinnig wheels should stop doing stuff after 1 attempt

:hot_face:

I would click it if I could but all I see now - Eve logo :slight_smile:
Should I try to reinstall game?

The client won’t download anything while I’m playing, because I can’t play, because my game was deleted by your wonderful launcher. My Eve folder has less than 500 mb now. It was the full game yesterday. And no, I didn’t uninstall it myself.
