EVE launcher update 1.3.0 changelog 2024 March 20:
Add; There is now an option in the Tools/Cache menu to remove EVE Vanguard, for those who do not want to partake in the First Strike events.
After this auto-update (1.3.1) the remove EVE Vanguard option is missing, all my Accounts still contain unused 4th character “EVE Vanguard”. How to remove EVE Vanguard character from all accounts?
Thanks for confirming Uninstall EVE Vanguard Tools option exists.
When the Launcher installs v 1.3.0 update it triggers Launcher-restart, after it reloads all Vanguard character portraits are removed if EVE Vanguard was never installed.
But when you re-start the Launcher again with v 1.3.1 installed the Vanguard character portraits reappear.
oh well…
confirmed - 2024 June 12 with EVE launcher update 1.4.3 the EVE Vanguard icon has finally disappeared from character selection screen when Vanguard was never installed.
The launcher is now less cluttered. Time to Backup my character profile directory.
Thanks CCP for the 7 Day Free Omega during the Equinox expansion.
