Hi,I was just wondering when the Station Launcher will upgrade to the New Launcher? I saw that it was released today and see people in the channels saying that they got upgraded yet I have re-run my Station Launcher multiple times and it has not upgraded anything. When I Check for Updates from the launcher it says that I have the most recent version.Thanks!

No update and still no new launcher when I run my launcher.When I check for updates this is what I get :You are currently running the most recent version of Station Launcher ( Version: 1.1.12, Build: 1.1.12.1075273 - Release ).

Station Launcher is no longer supported. My testing plus what I've read on the forums says that you'll have to install LP4 by running the newest setup program because LP1 and Station Launcher don't trigger an automatic LaunchPad upgrade.Personally, I will continue to use Station Launcher until LP4 works better and has Launcher's features.-= Therendil =-

Ok thanks.I thought it was since they had a walkthrough specifically for upgrading the Station Launcher stating that it would upgrade automatically.

The walkthrough actually got a couple of things wrong because plans changed somewhat after the walkthrough was posted. There's also an announcement today that full upgrades to LP4 will happen on 12-6 regardless of what you are using now.-= Therendil =-

Can u install LP4 in a directory separate from the Game?

Sure. But it becomes the game once you run it and it downloads the assets! <img src="/smilies/8a80c6485cd926be453217d59a84a888.gif" border="0" alt="SMILEY" />

I don';t want it my main game directory.

Probably not. With LP3, it looks like SOE changed the rules so that each game installs its own private copy of LaunchPad and launches the game by running that instead of running eq2.exe. IMHO, any attempt to install LaunchPad in a separate directory likely wouldn't work and would break quickly if it did.-= Therendil =-

You are forced to install the launcher in the directory with the game - BAD DESIGN.
