Launcher - New Pages

1. Installer & Boot Experience. The launcher now has a dedicated installer for first-run setup and a real boot window showing download progress instead of a blank screen. Getting set up for the first time is far simpler.

2. Web-Based Login Gate. Before you can log in, your account is verified through a secure web gate with bot protection, which keeps accounts safer.

3. News Page with Unread Indicator. Announcements, patch notes and maintenance notices arrive in the launcher automatically, with artwork, as soon as they go up on Discord. An unread dot lights up when something new lands, and filters let you narrow to patch notes or maintenance.

4. Streams Page. Browse live Kick streamers playing Eva. The page shows viewer count and tier for each streamer, with a history of recent broadcasts.

5. Rebuilt Store Page. Buy game balance and item packs directly from the launcher. Browse by category, see what's inside each pack, and buy with your account's current balance. Your character roster is always visible to verify the purchase.

6. Rankings Dashboard - Six Boards. See where you stand: Level, PvP, Olympiad, Clan, Eva's Bounty, and Honor Grounds. Each board filters by role (for weekly ones), shows your personal best, and ranks the top players. Switch between This Week and Last Week for the seasonal boards.

7. Friends List with Presence. Your in-game friends now sync to the launcher with live presence — go green when you log in, anywhere across the servers. Click a friend's name to message them on Discord or pin them to the rail. Search finds cross-server alts.

8. Home Stats at a Glance. A new stats bar on the Home screen shows your weekly activity and tokens earned. Click any tile for the full breakdown: activity day by day, your characters and levels, or raid rewards by session.

Launcher - Account & Persistence

1. Server Selector Remembers Your Choice. If you play on more than one server, the launcher now opens on the one you played last, per account, instead of resetting to the top of the list every time.

2. Selected Account Persists Across Restarts. Your choice of which account to play sticks around after you close the launcher — no picking the same account on every boot.

3. Account Avatar Picker. Choose your launcher profile picture from the portrait set. Your choice sticks, and new accounts are auto-assigned the next free portrait so each one looks distinct.

4. Friend Pins Survive Restarts. Pin friends to your rail for easy access. Those pins stay saved when you close and reopen the launcher.

Launcher - Rewards & In-Game Features

1. Vote for Rewards in the Launcher. Click the Vote pill on Home to vote on Hopzone and Top100Arena and claim your 5 Eva's Secret Shop Tickets without leaving the launcher. A countdown shows when your 24-hour cooldown is up.

2. Redeem Codes in the Launcher. Got a code? Click Redeem Code in the Store to enter balance codes and item codes, both with character selection. Balance updates your wallet live; items appear in your mailbox in-game within seconds.

3. See Which Server You Are Playing On. The in-game indicator now names the server for each client you have running, so if you play more than one at once you can tell at a glance where everything is.

   Launcher - Alerts & Notifications

4. Alerts for What Happens While You Are Away. Get told when your character dies, when you are disconnected, and when a raid you follow spawns, plus a daily summary of your activity. You choose which of these you want.

5. Alerts by Discord, Telegram or Desktop Notification. Pick any combination. Discord and Telegram are independent — link one or both, and switch each on or off separately. Windows desktop notifications have their own toggle.

6. Link Discord or Telegram From Inside the Launcher. Linking takes one click in the launcher, with no website login needed. If Telegram does not pick up the link automatically, the launcher shows you a code to paste to the bot instead.

Launcher - Settings & Customization

1. Automatic Best-Route Selection. The launcher works out which regional route is genuinely fastest for you and picks it, now measuring the whole path to the game server instead of only the first half. You can still choose a region by hand in Network settings.

2. Network Settings Redesigned. Connection regions now show as a tidy grid with their ping and tier, with server status below, colour-coded by health. Both update live.

3. Minimize-to-Tray is Now Opt-In. By default, minimizing the launcher minimizes to your taskbar. If you want to minimize to the system tray while in-game, toggle it on in Preferences. This replaces the old auto-minimize behavior.

4. Day-Aware Log Viewer. Browse your launcher logs organized by day. No hunting through thousands of lines to find last session's crash.

5. Full Launcher Translation. The launcher speaks six languages: English, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Greek, and Portuguese, with correct fonts for each. Character names and in-game text render properly even in Cyrillic and Greek.

6. Consistent Pop-Ups. Every pop-up now shares one design: updates, repairs, deletions, warnings and errors. They also wait their turn, so two never appear on top of each other.

7. Anticheat Screen Redesigned. The screen shown while the anticheat starts up has been redrawn to match the rest of the launcher.

   Launcher - Fixes & Optimization

8. No More Phantom Updates. The launcher no longer claims an update is available on every boot. You only see an update when there actually is one.

9. Idle CPU Cut Dramatically. On laptops especially, the launcher now burns far less CPU while sitting idle. Measured on a 2021 laptop, idle CPU dropped from 4.7% to under 0.4%.

10. Self-Update Fixed for All Windows Locales. The launcher now updates correctly regardless of your Windows language setting. A prior build could refuse its own updates for some players depending on that setting. If you are affected and stuck, download and reinstall the launcher once from the website.

11. Fewer Antivirus and Clock Problems. The launcher copes better with antivirus software getting in the way, and with your system clock jumping while you play.

12. Honest Countdown After Too Many Login Attempts. Try to log in too many times too quickly and the launcher now shows a ticking timer telling you exactly when you can try again, instead of claiming the server is unreachable.

13. No More Getting Stuck Mid-Download. While an update, install or repair is running, language changes and restarts wait until it finishes, with a note explaining why the button is greyed out.

14. A Password Change No Longer Breaks the Launcher. Change your password on the website and the launcher now notices and asks you to sign in again, instead of quietly failing to load your pages and looking broken.

15. Stronger Account and Update Protection. A broad security pass across accounts, payments and the launcher itself. Changing your password now ends any other session still signed in with the old one, launcher updates are verified before they install, and the anticheat is considerably harder to tamper with.

16. Assorted Polish. The launcher icon is now legible on light desktop themes and taskbars. The account rail no longer keeps a leftover update ring after updating, repairing from Settings takes you to where the progress is actually shown, and adding an account no longer throws away the window you were on.

Website

1. Launcher and Website Show the Same Data. Store, rankings, friends, streams, vote and stats in the launcher are now driven by the website, so what you see in one always matches the other.

2. Voting Reworked. Voting is far more reliable. Rewards arrive once and only once, the 24-hour cooldown is applied consistently, and a failed delivery is reported honestly instead of quietly eating your vote.

3. Top100Arena Voting Fixed. Votes cast on Top100Arena were failing to register for some players. That is fixed and live.

4. Eva's Bounty and Honor Grounds Weekly Boards. The website now shows weekly leaderboards for Eva's Bounty (tokens earned this week by role) and Honor Grounds (PvP rank this week by role). Older weeks are archived and stay searchable.

5. PvP Rankings Match Everywhere. The launcher, the website and the in-game window now show identical PvP rankings, using the same figures the game itself uses. This Week and Last Week work on all three.

6. One Redeem Code System. The website and launcher now share a single redemption system, so a code behaves identically wherever you enter it and a failure is reported rather than swallowed.

7. Discord Avatars Fixed. Linked Discord avatars no longer show as broken images in the friends rail.

8. Website Fully Translated. All six languages — English, Russian, Polish, Spanish, Greek and Portuguese — are fully translated, including the new vote and ranking features.

   Infrastructure

9. North America Route 36ms Faster. The North American route moved from Miami to Beauharnois, Canada — 113ms down to 77ms to the game server, on a cleaner path in both directions.

10. Brazil Route 46ms Faster and Far Steadier. Brazil moved from São Paulo to Fortaleza — 209ms down to 164ms, with roughly one third the connection drops of the route it replaces.

11. Russia Gains a Second Route. A new Russian route through St Petersburg runs on a different internet corridor to the Moscow one, so trouble on a single corridor no longer cuts off everyone at once. It measures 40ms to the game server.

12. Faster Detection of Route Problems. A regional route that starts slowing down is now spotted automatically, rather than waiting for players to report that something feels wrong. Route health is visible live in the launcher's Network settings.
