G'Day,



I have 4 accounts running a mining setup ( an orca and 3 hulks +).

I am sick of alt tabing between ava's. I have 2 comps running 2 ava's per comp.
I am running laptop due the amount of travel I do.

Well my problem is that I decided to try run my accounts on idividual screens. 1 on laptop 1 on external.
This woks for all other things Iv tryrd but not eve. It keeps opening my accounts only on the laptop screen.
Iv played with diferent setings but cant get it to work.

Help

Well for start, from your description it just sounds like they are in full screen mode and not windowed. With windowed mode you are free to move them anywhere you please. (ALT+Enter is the shortcut)

If you want to run another client fullscreen you will have to specify that every time you start up the EVE client. In the Display & Graphics settings in EVE there is a setting called 'Display Adapter'
This will show the name of your adapter, and a number after it indicating the screen it is on.
Change it to show on another screen.

Why not make it account controlled, which screen it will open up at ?


To the op: i'm using 3 accounts, two of which runs on the same screen(secondary), while my "main" char runs on the primary.
The only solution that is tolerable for me, is to have two different eve clients on my harddrive.

Being a multi account user, with more than one screen is at best a pain in the ... buttocks. get used to it :)

you can run one client with different settings using links; More from here: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Multiple_clients

I disagree!
