Myself and corp mates are all experiencing this problem. Resetting default window position didn't do a thing!

I have the same window problem as the others describe before me

I have reset my windows to no avail.

I put my station windows in my preferred size and position, undock - dock, and then e.g. the Station Services window has resized itself again.

Same accounts for Overview. Undock put window in proper position, dock - undock, and then the overview window is on another location again :(

Please fix.

The workaround works, thanks for that.

And thanks for those who tried to reset window positions - I was reluctant to do that because I would have had to rebuild a hundred or so container windows...


I hope CCP finds a solution soon Sad

Same problem, any word on if it's going to be fixed?

Guess not, just another feature to deal with.

I'm having the same problems even after I've reset the windows as suggested.

They just don't want to remember where I've put them.

i to cannot get my windows to stay pined

All automated intel should be removed from the game including Instant local/jumps/kills/cynos for all systems/regions.Eve should report nothing like this to the client/3rd party software.Intel should not be force fed to players. Player skill and iniative should be the sources of intel.

Yeah, I'm not sure that CCP grasps the concept of "pinned means that window stays where I put it, period".

A "fix" that works for me is just not having the windows in exactly the same place, so I moved my overview and drones one "snap distance" away from the edges of the screen and placed my station services in the corner, so far it is working.
I had problems with this before the patch, so I already knew not to place any two windows in the exact same place, in case I ever opened both at the same time...

About 2 years ago, when I started playing this game, the selected items and overview windows were in the upper right corner and the station services window covered the right side, and I haven't changed them since. So imagine my surprise when I download this new patch, and the client update, and find that every time I dock/undock, the overview window moves to the lower right corner and the station services windows compresses itself into a little box about midway on the right side.

It could just require another client update or maybe a new patch, either way, I hope CCP fixes this and soon.

A temporary work around.

As soon as you hit the dock button and waiting for permission, press ESC to bring up the options window.

Now just wait till docking permission is accepted and station interface loads then just ESC again to exit the options window.

worked for me so far.

Guess we're stuck for sometime till it gets fixed.

This problem need to be addressed ASAP. Proposed workarnoud about going to "Options Window" When I undoc/dock is ... I would rather want it censored what I thinking about.

We're working on this already and it will be fixed as soon as possible. Until then, Cynika has posted a workaround in the Incarna 1.1.2 issues thread, which we were able to confirm as working quite reliably:

1.Dock, enter hangar view, go to esc menu, general settings tab, change windows snap option to "Don't snap"
2. Grab the station services window and move it a little bit away from screen edges (it should not stick to any side od screen)
3. Enter esc menu again and turn the snap on to your desired value.
4. Undock. If the ov windows were relocated previously put them in the position you want them to be.
5. Dock. Station services window should not be relocated from the posision you put it in the last time.
6. Undock. Same as above - ov should not be relocated.


Another reliable quick fix is to disable Window Snapping altogether within the "General Settings" tab (set the Window Snap Distance to "Don't snap").

Resetting all Window Positions and clearing the client cache (both available in the "Reset Settings" tab of the game options) have also been reported to help some players, but those were not working in all cases.

While I hope this is fixed soon it begs the question why it even happened to begin with. Is there no testing going on at all? How could such a bug that affects lots of players get missed like that? I think a lot of players would be happy if releases to add features were tested *properly*, even if it meant having to wait another week for an update to add or change functionality of features.

How many times do they break the window handling?

Cargo hold problems, chat windows, now station services.

They should know that they need to test it more as they keep breaking it.

Yep, I'm running into this too. It's actually pretty annoying. Atleast there are a couple semi workarounds, but this really needs to be fixed.

Thank you Big smile

Was driving me crazy. This is working for me.

What works for me at the moment:

I usually have both Station Services as well as the Overview pinned in the upper right corner of the screen.

For now I just pinned my Station Services windows a little lower (so not touching the upper side of the screen, but still hugging the right side), while Overview stays where it was.

This works and the two windows don't influence each other again.
