Soe Launcher going live ?

Interesting... though I don't use it since I only play MxO.

I broke the chat " /> It won't let you make a heart now any O_O faces... darn

Anyone have a fix to the update freezing?

Oh, I use it for spying on the game without launching MxO itself.

o.0

It is still in Beta, just a new beta version with some tweaks and fixes.

Thats all changeable from the privacy settings of your friends network preferances. I only appear online as my main when i use SL.

To answer a couple on here (from questions I've asked myself):

As Virrago  says on the other page this is still in the beta right now. To go into that in more detail, there are still a number of features that are still being designed for the launcher which will need to be tested out beforehand. This particular update was to play around with the friends and chat areas of the launcher, although there's been some minor coding changes to the game launch system too, which has caused problems for a few games (huzzah!  ) oh and then there's general UI changes too.

Hmm... what else... oh yeah, those of you who get a freeze on the update, it's unfortunately a combination of issues that are being worked on, which is down to how station launcher updates itself when there's a significant download. The main thing I can get one of mine {I have two launchers, one is a nice one that I don't touch and one I screw to buggery with  } to crash on is the download of the dll files. They're not overly massive files in themselves and if I was downloading them from a direct source it would take a matter of seconds, however the launcher update download is a bit daft. It does do it eventually if you leave it for like forever, however right now it usually (more or less) goes through alright if you close it down and get it to start up again.

I am awaiting a workaround on the download btw, I've asked one of the tech team and the main dev who work on this if I could get direct download links as they will be sitting on a server somewhere, yet it's probably a secure access and normally only through the launcher for downloads for public, so it might be a while on that.

In terms of issues that many people generally still have with the chat system, that's still going through massive development, as is the whole launcher in general. They know that there's a big ol' list of issues that need to be sorted, which is basically why there's been no definate timescale to the end of the launcher beta period.

Hope that clarifies a few points on it.

everytime i use it, it locks up on me when i try to send someone a message, so i dont bother with it

Define "locks up" as in the entire program, the chat window or the general friends area... (just checking)

I'm talking with MasGravy over PM's about the recent update (more specifically about the download issues but not exclusively), I think this might be the first he's heard of it, so he's probably checking it out.
