Currently I have 3 EvE folders - SiSi, TQ 1st account, TQ 2nd account (as a walkaround to not being able to switch toons without relogging). At this moment each launcher/game updates separately and I'm ok with that.

With DoD will that change and if, how do i keep it the old way?

Can I patch all 3 clients and pick different cache folder for each or they will be somehow forced to use one?



All clients will use the same cache folder, but the client and launcher stay separate. With your setup you will still need to patch the clients separately, but you will have to download way less (as all resources are only downloaded once).


TY for clarification.

All clients patched, but either something went wrong, or i messed up with a path for one TQ cache folder. I now have a, lets say "main", game folder weighing 26GB (13GB cache +13GB ResFiles) and two game folders weighing under 1GB. Is there any way i could point third "bad" client to correct cache folder?


It looks like the update process failed to remove the stuff files.

Open a dos command box and go to your eve older. There look for a program named "rescache.exe". You can use that to verify that you have all the correct resource files and to remove files that are not needed. NOTE! Do not use the windows explorer to launch that program, it is a command line tool.

- You don't have to mix SiSi and TQ data if you don't want to. Just choose a different location for SiSi data.

This is actually not true - all EVE installs will use the same cache location.

Then why, even after i did the pre-DoD'd with SiSi did i have to migrate the whole thing a second time....so now i have two seperate Cache folders taking up space again....good show CCP...good show...

New Icon SiSi feedback thread that got wholly ignored!

An example of that a good ship icon set looks like.

I am guessing you should have used the same location as your first shared cache file, from the browse menu, on updating the other...is it as easy as: delete one, point the floating launcher at the other?

I simply removed the leftover ResFiles folder. As everything works fine I think problem is solved.
