Thanks for your response. However I'm in the second class - TWO CCP accounts (Thus two sub fees, Same Credit Card FWIW), TWO Characters, two separate training paths (A Miner and a Hauler what could be clichT?). On Linux you cannot run both clients at the same time (Unlike on windows) - at least according to the Cedega support Folks. I was hoping that the blurb about multiple accounts in your patch notes meant that this matter was fixed in Cedega. From your responce I guess this means the matter was not addressed?
No, the issue we resolved was only related to running multiple instances of the client, each with the credentials of a different Windows user. There were no problems running multiple instances of the client so long as all were run in the context of the same Windows user.
I didn't know it was a problem on Cedega/Cider to run multiple instances of the EVE client; it has a purpose when you have multiple accounts and is possible and supported under Windows. We're working on supporting Mac and Linux and we have regular meetings with TransGaming these days (as can be seen from their front page...). I'll bring this issue to their attention and have our QA team look at it.
You CAN run multiple clients via cedega. That said, its a royal PITA at times to set up. Currently running two clients on linux works "better" via two instances of wine than cedega.
Under cedega, you currently have to manually (on some distros and under certain video memory/physical ram constraints) set the video memory, or the first instance will hog the resources causing the second client to fail to load or cause both started clients to crawl at unacceptably low frame rates or just flat out ctd both clients.
This doesn't occur to all hardware combinations, and there have been several reports of multiple clients being run.
Personally, I've been using one copy of wine "taskset" to one cpu core and the main client via cedega "taskset' to the other core. (also manually cutting reported video memory in 1/2 via the cedega settings to keep the cedega client from slugging out the secondary client.
