The patch didn't move my settings to My Documents, but still deleted the settings in my install folder. So now I'm left with no settings saved at all. :(

1) <eve install>/cache/settings folder is empty.

2) C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\My Documents\EVE doesn't have a settings folder.

Now my 2. clients works again. It seems Eve stores some information about graphics modes at the server ??? I configured eve at my notebook (where the client worked)to 1024 *768
Set my gaming PC to this reolution too.
And- it worked
Now i had my 2. client accessable and could change it to working resolutions ...

Okay, I did a fresh install. I need the command line exactly how I should have it because it wasn't working when I did it earlier.

btw, im using XP and I have two clients that I use and I want to keep the settings seperate.

The default administrator account for XP (the one that can actually do everything) is always called Administrator as far as I'm aware. However, it doesn't show in the list of selectable users in XB-style login window. You might have to switch login style to classic, change user name to Administrator and leave the password field blank; not sure if that will work and I cba to read the entire feedback thread right now, just thought I'd throw this in for your consideration in case you still have the problem.

Why You think that I'm an idiot?
I NOT need to rebuild my EXISTING overview settings, I just NEED to GET THEM ALL BACK!

---

Unless you've backed them up somewhere the patch has overwritten prefs.ini and the Settings folder.
This means all your overview settings are gone - they're stored in the CCP\EVE patch as .dat files now. You might be able to recover some minor things like the IGB list of blocked sites from your old cache folder though.

This has happened in every major patch thus far.

A little more civility and less hostility towards people who are only trying to help would be nice.

You will need at least 2 users set up on your windows install with the second passworded.

Client 1... run as normal.

Client 2...
Right click the EvE icon.
Select Run As...
Check The Following User box
Select Second User name
Enter Password
Hit OK

The settings for the second client will be saved in Second Users My Documents folder.

I'm sure there is a command line version of this but I can't remember what it is.

---

Its called runas.

cmd --> runas /user:[new user] "C:\Program Files\EVE\EVE.exe"
Then enter password. voila. Works with Accounts without a Password too.
You can automatize this with a simple .bat file ;)
(Or a shortcut)


Btw. nice work, CCP, cant wait to get home from work and play around :)

Forcing gaming data onto the C: drive messes up 3 classes of your players:


1) People who wish to keep only OS files on drive C and keep all data on another drive.

2) People who run more than one account from their machine, which will now apparently write to the same files, mixing things up, with unknown results if two clients running at once write to the same file.

3) People who try to keep the cache directory on a RAM disk for extra speed.


So, please, take the person who made the decision to comply with some stupid Microsoft guidelines out behind the shed and beat them with a leather strap. Then, give us the option of keeping all data where it previously lived -- the /LUA:OFF switch as I understand it only keeps the Settings in the original place, not the rest of the cached data.

Thank you.

Signed. Please for the love of <insert deity> give us a configuration option for where the game saves data. The My Documents folder is for My Documents, not for random game files.

Game settings should stay with in the game folder so that if it is moved to another machine / HD / etc it still works.

Just another paying customer who is sick and tired of program settings under windows being spread between registry, profile, application data within the profile, my documents, my games and program directories...

---

OMFG /signed /signed and /signed again I can provide the leather strap if you need one

It seems all NPC's have had their hitpoints upgraded, by a rather large amount. Was this intentional? Mistake? Or am I totally FUBAR the last couple of days?

It sounds like already explained issue with no ship bonuses applied to guns.
