Since having to relog in my accounts this morning due to the sso issues, all settings seem to have vanished for one of my accounts. The other is fine and everything loads as normal. On the other account though everything has been reset to default. It took to tries opening and closing the client to get it to save just the graphics settings. Doubt that theres any way to recover it all so I'm just going about redoing all the settings, hopefully they don't vanish again.

Tell me about it. Same here man.

All my dang settings and windows have been reset since the dang SSO this morning... I mean every settings have been reset, fonts, sizes, window locations and that dang 90% UI scaling...

It takes me a long while to recreate my windows locations and such...

Is there a freaking way to save all these settings if CCP decide again to bother us with this crap?

Thx, Defier.

New launcher or old one? I heard the new one has a nasty tendency to default to preset settings instead of your settings due to how it having a messy profile system.

Just for future refference, here's where you settings are saved (Win7, could be different for others)...

C:\Users\USERNAME\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE , settings and cache folders are located in the directory that is named after the location of your Eve install, though the settings folder is your main target for how you have set your UI and user defined options and settings such as graphics and keybindings.

And for other data that might be worth backing up, such as your Overview settings...

C:\Users\USERNAME\Documents\EVE

New launcher. It's continuing to behave weirdly. After getting all my window positions, overviews etc reconfigured today I logged off for a while and come back and while most things seem to have saved it's still not remembering graphics settings. Particularly which display adapter is selected so that it displays the client on the correct screen.
