I've been using a script to launch the game, so that I can separate cache folders for my alts and also move cache out of system drive:

Quote:
Set home=h:\Games\EVE\Cache\Alt\
Set USERPROFILE=%home%
Set HOMEDRIVE=%home:~0,2%
Set HOMEPATH="%home:~2%"
Start bin\ExeFile.exe


It's been working perfectly until I decided to clear the cache by deleting the whole folder. Now the game doesn't start, and here's the error in the log:

Quote:
Unhandled Python exception: BluePyOS::PyError()Traceback (most recent call last): File "autoexec.py", line 17, in module File "iocp.py", line 29, in UsingIOCPNameError: global name 'prefs' is not defined


Looks like the same exception occurs twice in 2 different threads.
I've recreated the folder h:\Games\EVE\Cache\Alt\ - no luck. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Have you attempted to run the EVE Repair Tool? Are your drivers uptodate? My guess would be either something is corrupted and unable to start correctly (hence running the EVE Repair Tool) or that some driers might need updating.
