Originally by: Ascendic What you dont understand is the client worked fine until copying settings files from my other pc. The other pc runs at a different resolution as well and maybe be part of the problem if the client is trying to launch at a resolution that is unsupported. There is no hardware fault.
What you don't understand is that EVE Online only use this settings files to store 3D options, resolution mode & size, etc... The registry is not concerned, and there is no backup copy of this files. If you remove them, the client recreate new ones with the default settings, not the one you had before. I did it so much times that I am sure of it.
So if you screwed up the client by copying a new set of settings files, it is obvious that the problem don't concern this files or EVE itself, but something above them. For me, it is an hardware fault. Signature removed for not being EVE related. Zymurgist |

Yes I tried installing to a new path and it did not help. Also installed latest DX runtime, it is running as admin. The logserver still shows that the font service is failing to start and that blue.dll is also failing

Its obvious your deduction is fail considering this. Upon reformat client worked. Drivers have not changed since. Client stopped working after copying settings files over. Same problem happened before a reformat. Eve is searching for a font file that it is not loading correctly which only happened AFTER loading these settings files. Until then there were no issues running the client so something is causing it to look for files that I did not have installed but even after installing them it is failing to load. Explain how the client had no issues before and suddenly now its a hardware fault? You fail at troubleshooting.

eve client doesn't care about your registry, if they are missing, they just get recreated. so are config files. nothing important is stored in registry
can you specify from what OS are you trying to copy the config files ?
I had the same issue when I upgraded from vista 64b to win7 64b (clean install). config files just had't worked. I was lazy to play with it, so I've just config everything on the way :) |

1. Is the path the same on the new computer to the EVE folder as it was on the old one?
i.e.: (old) C:\CCP\EVE
(new) C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE
2. Did you copy, not only the "settings" folder found in the "User" folder but the one found in the appdata folder?
With the failed font thingy not working, I'm suspecting that something in the "settings" is looking for something that is just plain missing. Keep digging for more EVE files dude.

If you rename the Settings folder, does EVE work?

Edited by: Ascendic on 10/09/2010 19:51:21 Edited by: Ascendic on 10/09/2010 19:50:26 The path was the same on both machines until I did an install to a new directory. But what you are saying just made me remember something. Until I put it back to the original path (the one the same as the pc settings were copied from) in the server log there was an entry that said it could not find the folder path for something. This makes me think there is deffinitely a file somewhere that is telling EVE where to look. I cleared both the appdata and user folders of any eve related files multiple times. When I copied settings though it was only from the appdata folder not the documents folder. I ran a registry search and it turned up nothing besides an installation ID code.
Also I reinstalled using an older client running Dominion to see if that would clear anything and nope.
