So how the rest of Eve play using multiple clients on one PC? I'm trying to configure everything correctly, but even creating a junction file doesn't seem to do anything. I attempted to work through the Evelopedia directions, but it seems they may be out-dated possibly?

I am running windows 8.1 OS by the way. So how does everyone else make this work?

EDIT: I guess you can't log-in with a trial account.

(also on windows 8.1) I must be either incredibly stupid or eve is being stupid haha... how exactly can you alt+tab and get it load the client. I always get the "We appreciate your enthusiasm blah blah, only use one account"

Metzger Dresdner Malevolent Crackheads Likes received: 8	#11 - 2014-08-20 21:35:26 UTC Yea sounds like one of them being a trial is your issue then.

You cannot run a trial account at the same time as another account. Not to get off topic but why does that matter? If the client can tell if a trial account is active, why can't any client tell if two clients are running?

Takes about 20 seconds. They say most of your brain shuts down on the EvE forums. All but the impatient side, and the sarcastic side. No wonder I'm still awake. **This IS my main so STFU.
