Hi I just got back to EVE after a long break and I just noticed that my pc like freezes when I try to fire up more than 1 client at a time now that I have applied the newest patch.
Is this working as intended or do any of you guys know a workaround?
Kinda sucks to own 2 accounts if you only can play one at a time now.
Thanks!

I'm on vista...my comp locks up whenever i start even one instance of eve...additionally i get a lot of lag in streaming music when im running eve. I don't know what the deal is, i also used to be able to run 1-2 accounts without these problems.

It is not working as intended.
You should be able to run multiple clients. I know that I do.
The problem is likely more specific to you computer set up. Try double checking your video drivers and general operating system health.

i found moving the windows page file off the main drive onto another drive gave me a 150% boost to FPS and allowed me to run 3 clients classic style again.

What are the specs of your computer? When was the last time you played EVE with multiple accounts? Are you running EVE in Classic or Premium? |

Are you using the new Trinity Premium Graphics they use a lot more resources, you might want to try lowering the cache to normal or low under the graphics tab.
I am using WINXP 32 an over clocked Q6600 and 7800GTX and even though I can run multiple accounts I use the Classic Version when running missions.
Computer specs would help.

There are a couple things you can try.
If one of the accounts is a trial account they will not work together. This was purposely done by CCP to prevent some issues.
Now both accounts are paid for. I seem to have better luck using 2 different copies of the Eve Classic Client one in directory eve the other In EVE2 directory. Note when you patch one it will shut down the other.
If you have a dual core or more processor set affinity for each instance of the game. Make sure your OS is updated, don't depend on auto update. There was a particular bug with AMD processors that you had to patch from AMD to fix but it may have already been fixed by CCP, MS or someone a while ago. I don't remember anyone having issues with it in the last year.
The new high definition graphics client can be dual boxed but for me at least it effects other graphic applications. A TV card in my case gets really jumpy. So when I dual I usually use 2 classics or one of each.
Make sure the sound is off in at least one instance. I used to have an issue with this using a Creative Labs Audigy 4 card, but that problem went away when I upgraded to a Razer AC-1 card.
It would help if you posted system specs.
