Doing things this way risks corrupting things like overview settings, bookmark folders, or any other locally saved configuration. It also avoids using an extra 11GB of disk space that the "create another copy of EVE Online" would do.


11 .. mines up to 14 GB now



The unexpected increase in size is due to a rather unfortunate oversight in the design of the launcher, it keeps patches after applying them. I am poking Team Special Circumstances about this on a regular basis. You can fix it yourself by following these steps:

1. right click the client and choose Show Package Contents.
2. Browse to: > Contents > Resources
3. Find files ending in .patch like "EVE_Online_351477-352940.patch" or "EVE_Online_367569-369870_mac.patch" and delete them.

CCP Gangleri, on a side note there is no "Inferno Macintosh issues and feedback" thread. The only thread of this sort currently pinned is the old, escalation to inferno one.

While you're at it, the link in OP points to an old version (rev2) of clonemaker and should probably be updated or deleted.

Hi all - for some reason I am getting the cloned application as corrupted. I used the Clonemaker from the evewiki site because the one in the OP gives an error.

The new patch is causing an error. We are waiting for a new clone maker app.

I've patched the clonemaker to work again :

Note the default clones name is now "Eveonline 2" :)

YAY! Thanks.

I note that it appears that the change you made is to force the CFBundleExecutable value in the Info.plist to be "cider" instead of what Transgaming set it to (tgUpdate).

Good find!

yep it was pretty trivial ... I couldn't see tgUpdate in the inner Eve app bundle so changed it to point to cider instead ... I'm guessing tgUpdate is in the parent app bundle

This will be fixed with tomorrows (May 31) update, Inferno 1.0.5 after which the clone maker linked to from the OP (thanks Lexmana) should work again.

Thank you for the update to the clone maker.

However, the file given in the initial post (located here) gives a 0-byte file.

Also, you mentioned running multiple instances via the launcher. Can you comment on the potential problems with caching and settings I've been hearing about when sharing preference directories?

Changed the link to point to the wiki page to reduce chance of missed link updates in future, thanks for the heads up.

Running multiple clients from the same settings is less likely to cause issues these days, there has been substantial work done to improve the way the client caches data. The main reason for having separate cache folders is to have settings saved for different playstyles. We want to include this as a feature in the launcher but it is unclear when we will be able to achieve this.
