Ok, so I've got a bit of an annoyance. I run multiple clients and atm to start up each one I have to first make sure the 4 .dll's are (native, builtin) to launch the launcher. Then to start the first client I have to switch the 4 around. Once the client is on log in i then repeat for each extra client, doing the switch 12 times for 3 clients really sucks.

Has anyone found a way around this?

msvcr80 and 90 to native, 100 to builtin should do the trick based on my initial tests.

Run the game from one installation (1 wine prefix) so that you only need to update once + only switch the dlls once. If you have different resolutions for each client then you might need to make symbolic links to your installation and run the other clients from the symbolic links.

In my case I didn't switch builtin, native in winecfg. I have a shell script for the launcher and 2 others to run bin\Exefile.exe for my 2 accounts:

my launcher script:

#/bin/sh
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export WINEPREFIX="/data/wine/eve"
wine explorer /desktop=eve1,1800x1100 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"

my client script:

#/bin/sh
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
export WINEDLLOVERRIDES="*msvcr100,*msvcr90,*msvcr80=b,n"
export WINEPREFIX="/data/wine/eve"
wine explorer /desktop=eve1,1800x1100 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\bin\Exefile.exe"

for my second account i have a symlink from CCP to CCP2
