Thankyou zofu for pointing this fix out to me.

I'm aware of the runtime switch, but tbh it doesn't move all the settings, this does. Not only that, but this allows you to stick them anywhere you like and have as many settings setups as you want without them interfering with each other.

Here we have a step by step guide on how to keep your settings seperate even after revelations 2.0 on WinXP... I'm told the directory names are slightly different on Vista.

1) Make a directory such as "E:\EVE" as the base (from now on refered to as <BASE>)
2) Make a directory for each server you use in that directory... for me I have a directory called "<BASE>\Sisi" and "<BASE>\TQ"
3) In each of these directories make a directory for each user/character that uses that server .. so... "<BASE>\<SERVER>\<Character>" so I have for example "E:\EVE\Sisi\Eewec" and "E:\EVE\TQ\Eewec"
4) Make directories "Local Settings" and "My Documents" in "<BASE>\<SERVER>\<Character>"
5) Make directory "Application Data" in "<BASE>\<SERVER>\<Character>\Local Settings"

Personally I did all the above for a generic character then copied the tree for each further character I wanted to add and simply renamed the relevant directories.

6) For each of these you then need to make a bat file. I made the names kinda obvious like "EVESisiEewec.bat". In this file (you can use notepad to edit/make these) you need two lines.

I have the directory "E:\EVE\Sisi\Eewec" for one of my chars and have my sisi installation at "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE Sisi" so the bat file contains:

set USERPROFILE=E:\EVE\Sisi\Eewec
start "evesisi" "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE Sisi\eve.exe"

---

I'm not entirely sure what that first arguement in the second line is for... but don't use the same name as the bat file or it loops... or at least it does on my system.. and if I leave it out I just get a dos box.

Make the relevant changes for each of your chars for each server you want to use.
This also now means you only need one copy of the installation for each server you use.

If you don't make the sub-directories EVE just simply fails to run.

I noticed when I did this that the current sisi build makes alot of redundant directories.

Hope this helps.

I have followed the procedure in the OP, but can't get it to work for me. When I run the bat file I see the new Rev II splash screen for about 10 seconds, but then nothing. (If you watch in task manager Eve also drops out of here). I have created all the directories etc. and double checked paths but can't see what I am doing wrong.

Any help would be much appreciated.
