Launcher closes inappropriately

    The EQ Launcher is programmed to auto-close maybe half a minute after you have launched the game with the selected account. This is normal and expected.

    However, it will also inappropriately close if you open a new instance of the Launcher in order to log in another account, but are not fast enough to switch to a different account from the account drop-down.

    The new Launcher instance detects that the account you previously opened and still currently have selected is already logged in, and it will close itself out, requiring that you open yet another instance and try to be faster this time.

    Recommendation: Only auto-close the Launcher when both (1) the currently selected account is already logged into the game, and (2) the user has also actually clicked the Play button in this particular instance of the Launcher.

    This would give the player as much time as they need in order to get around to selecting another account from the drop-down and log into the game, without the Launcher unexpectedly closing out on them.

    This can be more of an issue because of the way the Launcher sometimes seems to sit on a blank loading screen for half a minute or so when it is opened, prompting a less patient player to alt-tab away and do something else for a bit rather than stare and wait for it to do its whatever thing.

    Thank you for reading.
