Usually I can open two EVE clients from the launcher on my PC, one for my main, one for my alt. But for some reason now when I try opening the second client, the process opens, I can see it open on my taskbar, but no window appears and I can't switch to it. Is anyone else getting this behavior?

I'm running Windows 7 Home Premium 64bit, with an AMD Radeon HD 5870, 16 GBs of RAM.

I've always found it better to use a separate install for each client. That's what I do, and I have had no problems :)

(Yea i know we are still in the updating process and this could still change.)

Maybe a DT issue? Try once the servers back up.

Its no big deal imo, it was only a comment to say that things are/have/could change in answer to the OP.

I get this occasionally as well, mostly after patches.. Usually you'll find launcher.exe still running in task manager after you close it down. Kill it off and everything should load up fine.
