Oooh that's a new one, congratulations SMILEY

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 SMILEY

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.

What I'll do in the mean time is try to uninstall the launcher (no uninstall program ftl SMILEY) and do a new install, see if that helps.

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.

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)

Hi, pretty sweet writeup.

One note - you can set it up so that your more stealthy characters stay invisible each time you launch Friends - just uncheck the 'visible' box next to their name in Options|Preferences|Friends Network|Privacy.  You can also set the visibility default for newly created characters.

If you'd like a more global ability to decide whether to go visible each time you launch Friends, you can set it so your characters stay invisible for a set delay after Friends is launched.  Go to Options|Preferences|Friends Network and look at the 'when I connect, set status to' options.  One of them is 'visible after a delay of X seconds'.  The delay gives you a chance to use the dropdown when you open Friends to stay invisible for a that session.  Or let the delay expire, and you'll go visible automatically.

Enjoy the beta!

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

Hi,

You can set that as a preference - go to Options|Preferences|Startup/Shutdown and select 'Exit Station Launcher when I play a game'.

If you want to more easily close Friends to save memory, you can turn on:
Options|Preferences|Friends Panel|When Closing Friends Panel 'Also disconnect me from Station Friends Network'

BTW, my favorite (but unrelated) option is:
Options|Preferences|General|'Don't display game EULAs unless they're new'

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!) SMILEY

We've got devs popping up everywhere!

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