Hey fellow eve players

I just did a fresh install of Win 10.

Previously, I had 2 full client installations for my two eve clients. When the shared cache came out each of them updated and one cahce was created.

I now reinstalled eve. It used to be that my clients remembered the monitor settings, so if client 2 was running on monitor two, it would stay there.

Now, when I log in with character 2 and put the client on monitor 2, then log in character 1 the client appears on monitor 2, even if it used to be on monitor 1 the last launch.

Is there any way to work around this? It's slightly annoying.

Found the solution myself.

Noticed the shared cache is actually in a hidden folder "ProgramData", not in "Program Files (x86)".

The Program Files folder only holds the launcher and launcher caches. Created a new EVE1 folder in the Program Files/CCP folder, copied the contents of the EVE folder, then created a new shortcut to the copied launcher file.

Lost 1GB space, wrong client settings: resolved :)
