I am also getting display issues with eve-o-preview
The Profile files seem to have disappeared (or been encoded elsewhere).
Is there a way to backup profiles for transfer to a new PC / OS re-install?
oh I guess a retraction on the âgood jobâ is in order. The first part of issue 1 was not actually fixed which I found out when I just opened the launcher today. It opened with one account already expanded. Maybe expecting a new thing to be an improvement over the old one is too much to hope for.
New launcher was available for a year now. And I donât see where itâs slow.
Because it had too many misclicks in testing.
Compared to the old one itâs very slow when launching accounts, and I only have 2.
Itâs why I went back to the old one, but now I have no choice and Iâm stuck with the stupid Vanguard option in both account windows.
But when I resize the launcher I can get rid of all the garbage so at least thatâs a small victory (kind of) lol.
Thank you. Sincerely.
No difference. Look for a problem in your system. Because only launcher changed and client startup is just a single API call in its code. The rest is up to the system.
Thereâs no issues with my system lol, EVE is on an SSD and Windows is on a new fast NVMe drive. Both compatible with each other and with 64gig of ram available. Along with an i5 12th gen.
So when the old launcher is faster than the new one itâs not the system thatâs an issue.
Unless ofc thereâs issues with many players systemsâŚ
- You can stop that yourself, just clear that checkbox
Thank you
So right now whenever I launch EVE my GPU hits the fans, literally, when I log on both accounts it sounds like an F15 ready for take off.
When I close one, the fans drop, when I close both and the launcher no more fans going ballistic.
This never happened with the old launcher so why now?
Or do I have to upgrade a GPU that is only 8 months old now?
All graphical options were reset to highest when I got back in with the new launcher.
Maybe same happened to you, and that is the reason for increased power usage now?
In fact everything was reset, key bindings the lot. The new launcher is a real pig.

This context seems very weird. But I guess I should not judge you.
Thereâs a thread on this in General Discussion. In launcher, click the Cogwheel for Settings (upper right), then Tools/Cache, then LOOK FOR PROFILES button. That should find your old profiles.
But apparently they forgot to add a way to edit or delete profiles in the new launcher.
Thanks,
It seems to have migrated them but they must be blank or corrupted as they make no difference when you load into game, itâs like a brand new install.
Looks like I will have to start all over and set everything up, overviews etc.
Very frustrating, even more so, when it has been caused by a pointless update that has actually made the UI worse.
Classic CCP, no testing, release it broken and ignore the customers.

The new launcher is a mess. Itâs slow, inconsistent, itâs great at pushing people into Vanguard (or at least I suspect it is, or does it fail at that too?)
I suspect Iâd be lying if I said it was as bad as when I tried it in beta, but itâs certainly not ready for mainstream usage.
Well, thatâs a lie. Some accounts were moved, not all. None were actually moved with their access tokens intact, so I had to go and log into each one (and do the email-based MFA every bloody time).
FAQ doesnât stand for âQuestions weâd like to be frequentâ, but rather questions your users actually ask frequently. Like âwhy the hell did you do this?â, and âWhat was wrong with the old launcher?â and âPlease explain the UI design decisions to us, because theyâre a) crazy and b) inconsistent).â
Dollars to donuts your help centre article isnât actually helpful.
Why, have you fixed the support and bug reporting processes?
Eve Online is great. Itâs surviving despite the current activities of CCP, not because of them.

Does anyone know how to refresh the launcher?
Years ago there was a refresh button in the launcher, then that got removed for the last version but you could still refresh via the system icon, I cant see how to do it in this version.
What I hate the most about the new launcher at the moment : too stupid to update itself automatically when idle. At different time of the day, if Iâm switching characters (theyâre not all omega), Iâll have the Play Now button available so Iâll click it for the account(s) I want, then the launcher will turn Not Ready and will update. As it does so, the client I had launch actually cancels and I have to wait for the update to finish to click Play Now on the same character(s) I tried seconds to a minute ago.
That is just under a minute extra waiting, sure, but it is freaking annoying as it happen so often at any time of day, multiple times in the day. Why canât the launcher update itself when it is idle? And it should be independant from the currently opened clients.
