Moving client log file location

Hello Folks,

I'm wondering if there might be a setting somewhere that allows the location of the Game Logs to be changed?

The issue I'm trying to solve is that the game client appears to lag (in some circumstances freeze for tens of seconds at a time). It looks like the lag appears at the same time as some background jobs that run on my home server (which should not be impacting EVE on my desktop at all).

Right now, I see all the logs are being stored in
My Documents\EVE\logs

My concern is right now, My Documents is configured as a network share to my home server. So, for now, this is the only thing I can see where the client might be stalling if the home server gets slow.

So, I'm hoping there might be an easy way to configure the game client to put logs somewhere else. Preferably somewhere under %LOCALAPPDATA% . Is there anyway in the client settings this might be accomplished?

Thanks!
