EVE's settings are constantly being reset to the game's defaults. Not just a couple settings either, every single setting is reset. This happens once a day at least among the usual game crashes. I also currently have a petition open for the game crashes that has not been answered for 3 days now. Seeing as how I am *trying* to play the trial, this is having a bad impact on what I think about the game. Three of my days are burned out.
Also, is there a way to force EVE into saving the cache/settings/coredumps/etc directories under the actual EVE directory?

I also get this. I have multiple copies of EVE folders, one for each account. It happens almost every day for each of the clients. I run all of them with the "/end /LUA:OFF" switches. I tried to reproduce the reset, but still don't have an idea why/when it actually happens.
I have backups of the cache/Settings folder, but it's annoying like hell to go replace that stuff every day 3 or 4 times.

I'd like ccp to address this. Please fix without a work around that is not all the way functional. I'm not demanding or anything of that nature, but obviously there is a problem there. Thanks :)

First thing to do when you had a question or an issue, check the knowledge base... https://support.eve-online.com/Pages/KB/Article.aspx?id=367

My bad sorry, since I had this on Vista, I assume you also had it. Never heard someone with XP with this issue =/

Pilk thanks, but no thanks. The notion is appreciated, but honestly the solution must be hard coded, by CCP. I do think that CCP should take your fix and use to patch their program. I am not savy enough to fix your solution once CCP decides to make another change. That and they should fix their product not me :)

I'm running XP and if I right-click the Eve shortcut, then select "run as", then uncheck the box where it says "Protect my computer and data from unauthorized program activity", everything seems to be OK. The problem is, you have to remember to do this each time you open the client.

Batch files and command line arguments are not a solution. I'm really doubting that I will continue playing this after the trial ends. It's not enjoyable to have to reset all my window locations and sizes along with all my video and game settings every day if not more.
I also think it's ludicrous that a game's setting become corrupted on a single crash. Get it together.

same problem... 5h yelling at my computer and at the rest of the world didnt help, the bat neither, "/end /LUA:OFF" didnt help, reeinstalling didnt help even after clearing every possible cache file, eve folder and prefs ini before... (ramdrive was deeinstalled 2 just 2 be sure)
atm i "play" like this: "loggin in, changing all my video, audio, overview, general settings plus shortcuts ~ 15min, playing 2 h, disconnect, logging in, changing all my video, audio, overview, general settings plus shortcuts ~ 15min, playing 3 hours, disconnect and so on.

hmm seems like thats something that came with some windows patch, all my folders are like this, but not the files inside, i guess it isnt the source of this problem then.
btw i forgot to mention i am running xp

Edit: actually audio settings seem to stay disabled as i told em, and additional chat channels are still there too.
Are you starting with the .bat every time? Check to make sure the shortcut you're using uses the .bat and not the .exe (it should pop up a black command-prompt window for a few moments before launching Eve).

Ugh this has been driving me insane.
All my settings are saving EXCEPT those of the drone bay (folders) and my overview setups.
I have sweet **** all idea why or how it just is happening.
It's happened with the .bat file as well.

Edited by: Leandro Salazar on 02/07/2007 14:44:51 Adding my name to the list of people affected by this. I am running XP, no LUA stuff, and my settings are reset apparently randomly on startups. Sometimes it works for a whole week, sometimes it resets twice a day. Easily identified by saved settings starting in windowed mode, and reset ones in full screen. So I at least get a warning lol...
Thank you SkyFlyer!

Edited by: Pilk on 03/07/2007 01:33:42 Very strange. Try (Windows XP):
attrib -R "%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\CCP" /S
Or, if you're using my .bat, substitute the red part, below, with your Eve directory:
attrib -R "C:\Program Files\CCP\Eve\UserProfile" /S
