Pilk, i thank you a lot for posting and linking your solution, but you must understand that until someone from CCP says it is ok to use it (like they did with EVEMon), i am not gonna install it.
it is not your fault, of course, i just do not like doing things on my computer that i do not really know how they work or what can they do to my system.
still, my question remains. is there any way to refrain EVE from creating a folder for logs and captures on "My documents" without using any external program?
Fair enough. Petitions take a little while, and I'm unsure if they'd certify my .bat since it's a very simple program with only one developer. I know Dark Shikari is a programmer, and pretty trusted by the Eve community, and he knows my IRL contact info; would his word suffice while I wait for a petition response?
Edit: Petition #693377 submitted.
--P
well, i hope your petition goes fast, since many people are quite f*cked up with this.
about dark shikarii, even as much as i respect him, he is no god, and i remember him sanctioning a bussiness that later was a scamm, so at the moment, i will not install your fix, although i thank you a lot for your patience and work.
come on CCP!!!! either give us a solution or say that Pilk's file is ok

One begs the question "Why should i have to hack/edit/butcher or otherwise edit the game at a base code level to be able to run it without it going belly up?"
I myself run two clients and have tried everything suggested and even tried running from a USB drive.
Everytime i log in with a different char i am back to full screen default settings. With 3 accoutns and 9 characters i use regularly i'm fairly hacked off now.
Please CCP release a fix so that we cna at least play the game or you will be losing alot of people who play with multiple accounts.

This sounds like you might have another problem.
You should check that your time/date/month/year settings are correct, as having them off by just a little will cause the symptoms you describe.
Also common things like read-only files or borked file permission can cause it.
Just a suggestion,
Vala D.

still, even if he has another problem, the problem with EVE creating a folder on "My documents" still exists.
has anybody managed to refrain EVE from saving logs and captures on "My documents" without using any external program?

for those interested (hint: devs appreciated), here is how my screen looks when i try to run two accounts at the same time from only one install.
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
this has happened to me always, and the solution was to run them from 2 separate installations.
now, even that solution has quit working, and my screen looks like a bad photoshopper work everytime i need to log on with 2 accounts at the same time

You don't need multiple Eve installs to run multiple accounts concurrently. I've been running two accounts for over three years and always done so from the one folder. The only time I have more than one Eve folder is when I have a Sisi patch.
Actually you do.
Clause 10A of the EULA requires that each account is supported from a separate install, one license per account.

I dont think that's a cache issue.. I doubt running from a seperate cache will help cure that, only a better video card (or video card drivers) will cure that.....
sucks dont it ;P

You're absolutely right here. If you are only connecting to Tranquility then you can and I would recommend that you use a single client. The EVE client handles multiple accounts (and therefore 3x multiple characters) and you don't need to make any changes from the default install so long as you are only connecting to Tranquility. The only settings that are then being shared between the accounts are the audio settings and the main program window settings.
Only if you are connecting to our test servers, Singularity or Multiplicity, then you need multiple clients, since those server are running different versions than Tranquility. But then you also have to use "/end /LUA:OFF" or examine this thread (a re-direct approach to multiple clients) or this thread (a "multiple Windows users, set 'run with different credentials' for each client" approach to multiple clients; top part of post) to keep the clients separate.
Which is exactly why we were forced to make this change. The data and settings files should never have been stored in the Program Files folder anyway (not even on Windows 2000 and Windows XP). Windows Vista enforces that programs don't write into the Program Files folder and Windows Vista users are by now a sizeable part of the EVE community. We didn't have much choice in making this change.
oh great, stuck with ****ty clutter in MyDocs forever, gee thanks for not even giving us a serious option - why can't LUA OFF also work on capture/logs? why do *I* have to start messing with batch files just to get the old functionality back? "because of Microsoft" - yeah right, you just don't freaking want to

Now, I can't post GM correspondence, or I will get WTFPWN't.
But I can paraphrase it, and cite the petition number, and may the gods (or ISD or the GM's or Kieron) strike me down if I speak falsely.
2007.06.29 22:33:00 (Petition #693377) GM Faolchu: [PARAPHRASED!]
Modifications of the eve client are not allowed. However, if this .bat file does not modify the files for the Eve client program itself, it is ok. In fact, generally speaking, so long as it doesn't modify the client, if all a program is doing is changing where folders are located on the disk, you're fine.
So, yes, this is a valid workaround. All I'm doing is changing file and folder locations.

no, that is not the problem. before the patch i could effectively run 2 or 3 clients without issues from different installations. now, everytime i try to log in with the second client, i have those wonderful shiny new colors.

I mean, its pretty much situation normal for me, except I can't use EVE Launcher to start my client. I have to start it myself from the custom shortcut after EVE Launcher has loaded. Just as well EVE Launcher can do the right thing even without starting the client itself.
You have the post-Rev2 Eve Launcher update? It works fine for my two clients. |
