Hello,

I've been running 2 client instances for a month, with no issues whatsoever until now. A few minutes ago my computer suffered a BSOD and after that all the settings (config. toggles, window positions, etc) from my alt account's client disappeared.

As a matter of fact, this is not a big issue: I know my computer has some unrelated problems that need fixing and I assume the BSOD is at least partly due to those. My question here is (for now): is there any way I can recover those settings other than configuring the whole thing again?

Thanks

EDIT: Nevermind, I had a great response in the Help channel. It seems it's not EVE's fault as I expected, the BSOD was due to the unrelated problems on my end (my HDD is dying and EVE must've accessed a bad sector). As for recovering the settings, it seems I can't, though what I'll do is use EveHQ to at least copy the settings from my main acc so it's easier to tweak.
Thanks to Zophael BloodLust who helped me with this.
