Quoting myself, worked out a solution for myself on the overview ****-up:
This works only if you have Shadow Volume enabled in Windows7/Vista
1. Browse to 'c:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\i_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility\settings' where "i__program_files..." is your installation location.
2. Right-click on the folder 'Settings' and select Properties -> Previous versions
3. Locate a version which is before you updated your clienttand open it
4. Drag all "core_char_xxxxxxxx.dat" from the newly opened folder to the previously opened forlder and overwrite the file.
5.Launch the game, you should have old overview back up and running, but it will reset on every session change.
6.Export the overview once you're in space (all of the settings and everything) and it should now work like a charm. Note that you also need to tick all of the "Other tab presets" in the folder at the bottom of the list.
7. Now import the overview you just exported.
8. Restart the game, you should now have your old overview back.
Tested on Windows 7 Pro 64-bit SP1 |

We'll be putting out a fix for this tomorrow at downtime.
I patched the client, logged in, everything gone on the overview.
Could you consider creating a backup tool which you can distribute with the client so we can take backups before applying patches? You could also recommend running it before a patch is applied or just, dunno, automatically create a backup of the settings. |

Once you are transitioned things are all good again. And thanks to sharing it's vastly easier to pass out overviews to other people to help them sort it again.
It's a good step forward, yes it sucks it had an issue in it's roll out. But I'm sure you all personally went to sisi and tested overview settings right...... And bug reported this on sisi...... Hmmm, what's that. you didn't? Don't complain CCP didn't catch it when apparently not a single player on Sisi caught it either.
I'm not paying CCP to test changes on TQ, SiSi is for that. Yes, the bug was reported on SiSi but no one cared as they were fondling with -10 speed and +10 hull changes for too long.
Quoting myself to get some exposure for this, might be a tad late now:

It's been like that for all my accounts since the first time I saw that button. So I'm wondering is it just not working for me? Or am I confusing the New eden store with the NEX store as two separate things? If so what the hell is the NEX store?
I'm ******* confused.
EDIT: Sorry I meant NES, im a tard. But nevertheless that thing has not been working for me at all. I can't see any items in it to buy, I click on it and it just says "New eden store not available" Has done it on all my accounts for a month or so :/ The NES Store is tied to the CREST API system for account-wide AUR totals. So, unless you start with the Launcher client and then log in, there is no CREST connection for the NES to use. edit: dat triple post above me, :cripes:
It has never worked for me no matter where I log in or what method I use. |

I do not have a chanse to restore this by using "previous version " button in windows some other sugested in this thread. is there any software i can use to restore it? I've spent a lota time tweaking my settings and its not something i plan to set up again.
Not really no as the file has been overwritten already and you've most likely used the computer extensively after that lowering the recovery chances even further. |

Previously, it'd never worked for me either - though a GM pointed me at the problem. The shortcut I was using to launch EVE was the problem, for some reason... The advice I was given, which worked, was... 1. Locate your eve.exe file 2. Right-click it > Send To > Desktop (Create Shortcut) 3. Use the new shortcut Worked perfectly.
Cheers, I got this from a GM earlier today also. Now I just need to figure out why a shortcut pointing to a file makes any difference when I re-created said shortcut. |
