Well,
Since now I was runing the two eve clients from the same installation. Unfortunetly the "enable audio" is shared between both clients. That means, if I disable it for one after the next restart the other one has it disabled too.
So, whats your experience? Are two installations of EVE working at all?

2 installations are working very good. Even better I would say. Throw in a 3rd for the test server as well when you are at it :)

Download the patches manually, copy and paste the patches into the other directory.
EVE also leaves a mess of crap behind, you could probably download the patch with one client and copy it to the other and get the same effect. Though I wouldn't know since I've never tried it.

i have 5 game installations. when patching the patch will look for ccp folder. i just cycle the installations' main (ccp)folder (rename-ing them) they are, incidently named...ccp, ccp2, ccp3, etc.
hope that helps!

I noticed that if you start the patch with "/?" from a dos-box in WindowsXP you get a prompt popup which let you select the eve directory. So patching the two clients worked without problems.

I've two copies "installed" and last patch(1575) I downloaded manually(as I always do) and ran it. I didn't get to choose location but I started the patch executable again and got to choose directory to patch. Very nice CCP ;)
On the topic I'm running 2 EVE clients(installations) but on the same harddrive, I've seen people say that it will work even better with each of them on different physical harddrives, I'll try that sometime when I feel the need to try something ;)

Hi
I have run both accounts from the same install but found that it ran better when I ran two seperate installs on two different disks, (have two EVE shortcuts on the desktop, each one pointing to the '.EXE' in question
This way I can also turn of one sound and have the other running if need be, for the updates no sweat, just have to update twice rather thzn once

I used to run two seperate installs for two accounts but when I would start my clients up after running the game earlier in the day the graphics would be really blocky and they could not be read at all (even the times I had only ran one client then came back and wanted to open the same one again). After becoming frustrated after having to restart my computer every single time I wanted to play EVE I unistalled the clients and then only installed one client and it has worked great since. Hoped this helped. My system specs at the time were.
1 GB of RAM
GeForce FX 5700 256mb
Athalon XP 2600+ (I think this is the speed)

Running two clients from multiple installs, I keep losing one in space when I undock with the other one. Too much for my system to handle, even with settings turned down? Sound is already disabled on both. It's a laptop:
P4 3.2
512 RAM
Nvidia go5700 (64mb)

3 accounts here, can be all run without problems all the time and at once.
I'm running all windowed -- the only time I tried 1 account running full screen got CTD, so I stay on safe side :P
About patching ... I installed 1 instance of game, copyed 2 other instances to other partitions (same disk) and have 3 shortcuts to desktop. It doesnt matter which copy I ran, I'm used to login into whatever acc I need -- with friends 2 accounts that 5 identities per game.
A64 3400+, 1.5Gb ram, nvidia 6800GT, DFI Lanparty 250Gb board. Also, I have dual monitor setup, one 19" and other 17", both CRT and running games at different resolution -- on 19" @ 1152x864, on 17" @ 1024x768. Ofcourse, I can move between screens.

I had a similar problem. Was running two accounts off of one client, after the cold-war patch docking/jumping/sitting in space doing nothing would cause one of the accounts to crash.
I uninstalled the windows signed driver for my card (geforce 5200) and installed the latest one from the nvidia site. Solved the random CTD.
Now I just have to worry about the computer itself as i'm getting random game freeze that my or may not sort itself out (this seems to be determined by the value of the ship I'm flying )
