STATION LAUNCHER

Whenever I click on a trial button the new popup window just appears with an offset login prompt. THen an error in scripts occurs. When continued, It just says you have logged, please log out when you are done. No options to allow a trial or anything... I've submitted it to the SoE Luancher forum but no response as of yet.

Couldyou give me some more specifics of exactly how you're going through the process, from when you login (with whatever account ~ is it your main or a recently created account) right up until you have this issue?

Even if I can't help you, the more details the better really as it helps when replicating the fault

Well, now that I'm set to invisible (Yay 9mmfu/Rarebit for confirmation " width="15" height="15" /> ) it doesn't load any friends at all. While that's much more beneficial, I think there should be a way to import a character's/RSI's friend list, instead of manually adding them if you do choose to go Invisible.

Like, if I want my list from Orexis, I can load that account, and if I also want to check my alt on Syntax, or for some silly reason, my other alt on Recursion, I can load theirs as well--since there's obviously the capability of logging in multiple servers/games at once.

Unless there's an option that i'm missing somewhere. " width="15" height="15" />

I don't think it loads from your PC. I tried the Planetside trial once a while back, uninstalled, and had some characters on this account there; those were picked up and added to the list too. Seems to be retrieved from some central SOE "master list."

Yeah there must be a "master list" somewhere because I haven't had SWG installed since the NGE and it listed all my buddies.

I haven't tried loading up multiple characters on the same game, yet you can load up different games at the same time through the launcher if you wish (and if your PC can handle it)

Well, what I was saying was, you load up one game, it loads up every single character in that game, along with their buddy lists... and it's just silly to have the same person listed X amount of times, because each character has them on their list.

If possible, I just want to be able to choose which "one" character's list i'd like to load into the launcher.

Ah I get ya!

Simple answer: No. Sorry

It's something they're seeing that people have some issues with as the friends chat just does it right now without telling you.

I read somewhere on the main station forums board that this is going to be going through a change during beta, so you click to what you want included BEFORE the chat does it all automatically for you.

Ok, I'll give you a rundown, as my friend told me about the problem and It happens to me also.

The Station Launcher loads and it presents me with the log-in. I log in and get the MMO buttons, all light blue saying Try Activate or Buy, depending on the game. I click MxO and a new window pops up. This window takes about a minute to load up the contents. The window then presents me with a Station login prompt. So I log in (again) and am presented with a script Error box:

Line: 7
Character: 1
Error: Syntax Error
Code: 0
Url: https://auth.station.sony.com/loginWithoutTicket

do you want to continue.......

clicking yes/no

'This page contains insecure items.... do you want to continue...'

Click yes then it comes up with a white Station generic page that just says;

Central Authentication Service

You have successfully logged into the Central Authentication Service.

For security reasons, please Log Out and Exit your web browser when you are done accessing services that require authentication!

Nothing else to do but close the window and try again...

I am using Firefox, could it be that interfering with the launcher?

Oooh that's a new one, congratulations

I'll have to get back to you on that, I'll forward it onto the main bugs list to see if I can get an answer on it for you

What's happening is that you're having an issue with your login authentication. Why I'm not entirely sure, hopefully we'll find out soon.

TRACK THIS BUG ON THE STATION FORUMS HERE

does anyone get it to where you log into the station launcher, load up your friends, but nothing shows up? just blank?

Not sure what's causing your issue sorry Chloe

I'll see what the guys with the big brains on Station forums say about it and get back to you

*edit*

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Don't do that

Try doing the following, as this seems to fix some of the more general issues but god only knows if it'll work for your problem:

delete archive.txt

if you installed with default path it will be here:

C:\Program Files\Sony\Station\Station Launcher\LaunchPad2

you will lose your preferences and it will not remember you

That's a general reset of the Launcher information.

KNOWN BUGS 

Managed to compile a general list of some bugs/issues that are appearing on the Station Launcher.

If you're getting a problem, check HERE first to see if it's already listed.

Nope, no joy in doing that or re-installing, same problem occurs!

oh well you're just silly!

lol I dunno then sorry, just have to wait to see what response it gets off a dev on the station boards.

Click Options -> Update New Characters and that will pull the details down again, just be prepared to click no a few times due to the unresponsive script messages.

(thats the same problem I had)

By the way, when you log into the "Friends" thing for offline chat, it will show all of the MXO characters on your account as online. If you don't want them showing, toggle the thingy in the upper right corner of the Friends window to "Invisible."

EDIT: However, it will default back to "Visible" each time you log in. =P

There are over 1650 names on my MxO Friends list.  From what I read, the Launcher loads the list every time and takes more time for a longer list.  If the Launcher stores all that in memory, there will be trouble.  Is it possible to close the new Station Launcher once the game itself has been launched? 

It has potential, but it is not ready. The communication with the server needs to be looked at. The friends panel locks up consistently for me. It seems like it is trying to load all the data in one massive hit. It would function better if the data was broken up into chunks, or organized in a different manner. Why must it load all characters immediately? It is unwise to make such a large query in one go. By default, Flash will display the script timeout warning after 15 seconds of waiting for a response from a routine. It usually happens during data requests and for loops. It doesnt necessarily mean that the routine has failed, just that it is taking longer than 15 seconds.

That's why they call it a beta release my friend. It's still in testing.

If you want to give feedback, pop it up on these boards, the developers will work on it (I hope)

Hey Mas! Thanks for the compliment (and the information!)

We've got devs popping up everywhere!

Kinda cute that it only shows you as a little newbie here though

it bugs out and gives me "this script is slowing down ur pc, terminate script? "yes" "no""

then it crashes and when i log back on, my buddy list has been wiped off completely, i have tried this on 2 pc's now.

BE WARNED!

IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR EXISTING SUBSCRIBERS USING STATION LAUNCHER

Alright, the exact specifics of the Station Launcher "update" to your files even though you've already got the game is coming clearer.

It creates new versions of a lot of the existing game files.

If you've done things like me, which are to go and create your own hotkeys and things, you'll need to backup your current options.cfg (and if you use it useropts file) which are found in your main game directory.

More details will come through about things like this as the devs get more feedback, so keep it coming.

1. Station Login
2. Station Game Choices
3. New Station Window when Selecting Any MMO not just MxO
4. New Login Prompt
5. Script Error
6. End Result

Switches people, switches.  Proc is right.  The Station Launcher calls the MxO launcher and when it does, it uses the switches which tell MxO to bypass the loading area and any previous /jackout location and start at the last used hardline.  I have ten icons in a quick launch bar, one uses a manual log-in and character selection and sends me to the Loading Area or a previous /jackout location.  The others specify an RSI and auto-log the account and RSI and place it at the last used Hardline for that RSI.  Since the /jackout command and a manual log-in are often used to re-enter areas which would take a long time to get to, like the bottom of a Hideout, this issue will have to be resolved before the Station Launcher is released.  Otherwise, there will be a revolt of people who still expect to start in the Loading Area or last /jackout location.

Good thing is that they do know that this is an existing issue so they will be working on it (i reported this very thing a while back.)

It is a feature that they were thinking of having with the launcher and they thought they'd removed it in this beta but both ourselves, EQ and EQII are having this "auto load into game world" issue. 

As far as I'm aware there's still a fair time this will be in beta because they want to have all things like this sorted beforehand (obviously).

If you do want to give them feedback they really, really, really go and say it to them on the boards here. Equally, if you wish to report a bug, pop it onto here.

Urgh!

As this is something different to the above information I'll pup this here.

Seems imageshack is being... well nasty to me about some of the images in my initial walkthrough of Station Launcher.

What I'll do is go through this whole thing tomorrow, clean up my image issues oh and then put some updates up about things now that the beta has been running for a little bit.

I probably should have posted this earlier.

We believe the issue of the station launcher not properly initializing the character profile folder (where to look for it) should be fixed. So the old location for all your character's hotbar setups and what not should now be back to normal.

Alright 9mmfu, thanks for the update!

I'm going to be having a proper look through any old issues that were posted up on here to see if they still exist or not but things certainly seem to be a hell of a lot smoother on it now to say the least
