this! i hate it so much, its lazy i admit but its my fu##### private pc, locked in my house, no one else has access... and it sucks when after a DC the client just closes and you have to relog 5-6 times xD
I'd be very pleased if something is being improved of the launcher for Shadowbringers![]()
If you want to create a cross-platform launcher for SE, go ahead.
We PAY for this shi## already, dont come like we demand some extra premium services...
I just want an launcher thats not that laggy, instable and outdated, they can always ad an PS4 or 5 app later on too, which also makes the use of a dist not necessary anymore (i know you just have to delete the game files and re download but come on...).
Not sure what you mean by unstable and laggy, I've never had an issue with the launcher.... if anything a launcher like battle.net would eat up more resources and make your laptop even slower.We PAY for this shi## already, dont come like we demand some extra premium services...

Agreed. I don't think I've had my launcher laggy or anything. People seem to be content with the mediocre.We PAY for this shi## already, dont come like we demand some extra premium services...

1) The launcher in the original post is not World of Warcraft launcher. It is a Blizzard battle.net launcher. It is the equivalent of Steam, GoG Galaxy, Origin etc.
If you want to suggest something to that notion...go ahead and suggest Square Enix to go and make its own brand of desktop shop application. Because that's what that is.
2) A game launcher is supposed to launch the game with as little resource cost as possible. Its only features IS supposed to be secure login, pre-game configuration and news.
3) Auto-logging is not going to happen. If they did offer that service, they could throw the "don't share the account information" part of EULA through the window. That would open the flood-gate for people to request refunds for getting their accounts stolen by using gold-sellers and other shady services or even for selling their accounts online. That's a business shot in the foot.
4) Getting disconnected from the server does not kick you out of the game. It disconnects you from the server as the name suggests. You end up in the title screen. What does get you kicked out of the game is being disconnected from the lobby. If that happens, the problem is usually the internet connection between you and the company. Seeing as the launchers purpose is to connect you to the lobby, its job is done and it continuing to run would just eat up resources. That is why it closes.
5) What COULD be done is for the game to not shut down on disconnection from the lobby, giving you a "Try again" button.

I'd be happy if we can get a real non-html launcher with a try-again or "relaunch last" button right at start. The launcher for the chinese/korean version is made by a different company, it's goddamn awful equivalent to what OP and some ppl suggested.
I just want the darn patcher to not start over when it fails to get a part. (Yes its getting less of an issue now that I can consume patch sizes in moments now, but all it takes is a heavy patch day/expansion launch to stall a patch at 1GB, and start all over from 0.)
And strangely my launcher has been booting darn slowly recently.
The current launcher is notorious for bugging out. If you never experienced the black screen launcher, count yourself lucky. Sometimes it loads ads on the left side, but no input fields to actually enter the game. At that point you have to go into your IE settings and reset them.
And sometimes it doesn't receive the right packet and you have to either copy a .dll from someone else who has it working, or redownload the entire game. It's a mess, and the launcher is super outdated.
Square Enix could consolidate a launcher for all of their games, tbh. If you already own a game on Steam, for instance, you just link it to the launcher like you can link the GOG launcher to your steam games and it activates the game on that as well then. But... I doubt we'll ever see that. SE is not known for their flexibility, lol.
