Re: eve online wont save logins over 50accounts

Seems a bit odd.

The account details are normally saved in character specific copies of the cookies or settings/ folder. Admittedly the new launcher is a little different so if you are using that, then there may be something else required to be virtualised for that. Unfortunately I am not aware of what, if anything at this time. I can only suggest you validate that all the characters have the appropriate virtual file settings, and that they are unique and are not attempting to use file names that are invalid.

As for the ISBoxer bugging out, I am aware that there is a limit in the slot naming, so once you launch 50 slots it might be a bit strange, but the toolkit should manage the layout, although I would imagine you'd be running out of space without a large array. That said, there are some limits depending on various choices in the wizard though. e.g. a Tiled Layout will have generate a maximum of 7 rows, it will then determine the size of the regions based on the number of rows and your screen size (for a max of a 7x7 grid to work out evenly). Using 63 slots, you would probably need 8 rows for it to work out evenly (for an 8x8 grid tile). I'd need to spend a lot longer digging through to find other limits, suffice to say, yours is an extreme use case, so you will no doubt hit a few undocumented boundary conditions.

i dont think my problem is the blown limits, on my other computer (27accounts) same problem appears, where 13 of the 27 accounts have the login there everytime i restart the client, but the rest wont save no matter what i do

Re: eve online wont save logins over 50accounts

Yes, the two issues are not related. Saving of files containing your account info is up to the game; the only part of this process that ISBoxer does anything with is that, if configured, the Virtual files, so when the game says to the file system, let me read/write the "cookies" file, ISBoxer can redirect this to the file "cookies-charname". It is also setup so any access to a folder with the word "settings" in the path, will be read/written to the folder "settings-charname". So, there are several things that could prevent the files being saved correctly.

  1. You have a reserved character that cannot be written to a file path. There are a bunch of rules here: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/librar ... onventions
  2. You do not have enough space on your drive
  3. You do not have permissions
  4. The game is not exiting cleanly, and thus not writing the files.
  5. You have copied character records to create your additional characters and you did not change the virtual file records for the copied characters, so they use the same virtual file as another character
  6. The writing is failing for some reason, perhaps contention, but this is hidden by the game
  7. Something else I haven't thought of.

Re: eve online wont save logins over 50accounts

1. im sorry but this is all chinese to me
2. nope
3. nope
4. the game exits properlyish but the issue is static from day 1. the username switches out with 1 random login of the missing names. and is the same for each account that's login isnt saving. it changes every time i relog (every 24hour downtime)
5. i created new characters ^
6. also chinese to me
7. probably

Re: eve online wont save logins over 50accounts

Some of those I expected to be not likely.

But the first one basically means, do you have any toons named with the characters < > : " / \ | ? * if so, it will break the virtual files.

You could check to see that the appropriate settings folders/cookies files are being copied for each of your characters. Depending on your OS, and the language, these may be in different locations. The likely location for the settings folders are %LOCALAPPDATA%\CCP\EVE You should have 1 settings folder named for each toon. I don't know where the cookies files are, but they are needed for the account/username details, but if you don't have settings folders for a given character, chances are you don't have cookies files either.

I don't know if this CCP bug is still applicable. I found it mentioned on EVE forums too, but in an old post.
Lax wrote:Finally, until CCP corrects a couple minor bugs, you will have to use a workaround in order for the Cookies file to correctly save your Username for each Character. Just logging in and clicking Play is not enough to save your Usernames! If you need to change the Username that comes up in the box, including if that box was empty when the launcher came up, you will need to log in, then click "Switch user account", and then log in again. I have mailed CCP Atropos about this issue via the EVE forums, so hopefully it gets resolved soon.

After logging in for the first time and ensuring that your username saves, you will not need to enter or select the Username any more, just your password in each Launcher.
Worth noting, this is in reference to their old launcher. The new EVE Online launcher is recommended to be bypassed.

edit: I assume none of your accounts are Steam accounts.

Re: eve online wont save logins over 50accounts

steam accounts no, so i assume there is no solution to this problem =/ sucks when you have 200+ accounts and it takes an hour everyday just for logging in
