The launcher will periodically remove unneeded files. If you want you can trigger this behavior yourself from the Tools/Cache section of the settings window in the launcher.

Patched files do not require there to be patchnote...

There is an option in the settings menu where you can change the default behavior, so you do not have to change the options for every account.

Ctrl+F opens up the spotlight menu, which has all kinds of quick-access stuff.

The menu options merely fill in the prefix of the search bar, so if you really don’t want to use the mouse to start a client you can do something like: Ctrl+F => play: =>

This will be part of the next release (0.4.7)

Could you file a bug report for this from within the launcher?

In the Settings menu, under Tools / Cache . You can access the Settings menu from the wheel icon in the top-right corner of the launcher (or the Ctrl+F menu)

The launcher will install itself into %LocalAppData% and %AppData% (Unless you use steam). It shouldn’t matter much if this is on a HDD or a SSD. As with the old launcher you can configure where the launcher keeps your EVE files. Having this location on a SSD is what you are looking for, as this will affect how quickly EVE can load.

It’s resizable

Intrepid capsuleers,

Earlier today we have released a new version (v0.4.0) of the new Beta launcher. It’s been a while since the last release, but as you can see, we packed quite a bunch of things in this one.

The changelog for v0.4.0:

• Add: A searchable tools menu, use CTRL+F (Command+F on MacOS) to open
• Add: Character portraits are now cached, and will display as no-portrait picture until loaded
• Add: Character’s alliance & security status can now be seen in the character info
• Add: Information button appears for recently updated launchers
• Add: Support has been added for Epic Games Launcher automated login
• Add: Support has been added for Steam automated login
• Breaking: Removed double-click option to start up a character, users have been defaulted to the long click option
• Change: Aura’s tooltips are now visible to users with 2 or more accounts
• Change: Some pixels have been added, moved, ...

The links are visible in the news post, but to make it easier:

• Windows
• Mac

We have included measures to fix this issue in the new launcher.

The latest builds:

• Windows
• Mac

Once installed the launcher will automatically update itself once a new version is released.

There’s a thread on the EVE discord’s #launcher-beta channel where @Katrina_Bekers has shared their progress in getting the launcher to run under Wine. There have been some issues due to wine running apps with full admin access, and the new launcher wanting to be installed as a user, but last I saw they found a workaround for that.

@Arrendis can you file a bug report from within the new launcher? If that fails let me know so I can run you through the manual steps.

If you start typing a name a create button will appear. We’ll make this a bit more clear in a future update.

This is something we are looking into adding, yes.

Can you file a bug report (from within the launcher) about this?

There is no automatic way to sort this, but you can already re-order the accounts by dragging them into the right order. That should at least allow you to get your most frequently used accounts some better visibility.

Greetings Capsuleers!

We are Team Stargate, the people behind the EVE Launcher.

If you haven’t had the chance, we highly recommend reading the accompanying news item for an overview of the new launcher beta.

Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to join us in the EVE Launcher beta. The path has been laid by the CSM delegates and ISD volunteers, as we received indispensable feedback from them early on in our closed alpha phase.

We hope you will give the new EVE Launcher a try, and we would love to hear your feedback. Should you encounter any issues, please file a bug report from within the launcher, and should there be something blocking you completely from star...

We have concluded the maintenance on the bug reporting system.

As mentioned in the original post, the web-based interface to view/submit bug reports will remain offline while we work towards improving this system.
