[2019] Beta Launcher Update 1516567

Heya,

The beta launcher might have exaggerated the existing “Oops I forgot all the accounts because there are three thousand launchers running in the background” issue that most people fix by either nuking the processes or changing the release tier. I’m not really sure what the connection is between them yet.

However, 1516567 should alleviate an issue I think may be related to this. Seems we had some rogue threads that refused to biomass themselves.

They have been given cyanide capsules with ten second dispersal timers. So hopefully the extra running launcher will, in a worst case scenario, die off within ten seconds.

I’ve only gathered this info from a few bug reports and forum threads. If you have any other patterns that might make sense, please add a comment here.

Will keep an eye on this and see if it is sane enough to promote to release next week.

Thanks!

Seems it really wants to stay in beta mode. Sorry about that.

The work around to that is to force it back to release mode.

First uninstall to make sure you don’t have the beta launcher.

Then with regedit navigate to Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\CCP\EVE and change the key “LauncherType” to 0

Then install the latest launcher from the site and you should be in release mode.
