All settings reset at default

[Mr_Chili_Palmer]

Logged in tonight to find all my settings had been returned to default setting what a pita to do them all again.
Is there a tool to do a manual back up of my settings, if no toll is there a guide?

cheers

UI did a complete reset. Are there settings in the EVE folder to recover?

Do yourselves a favor - backup your settings. Go to the C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_(x86)_eve_LOGINNAME_sharedcache_tq_tranquility\settings_LOGINNAME folder - there you’ll see a file (or a bunch of files if you have more than one character) named something like core_char_XXXXX.dat. Those are your “layout” setting files. Make a backup of them every so often (along with exporting your overview settings). If the client resets all your ■■■■, just copy your core_char_XXXXX.d…

I would add to the above that you can just backup your entire “settings_XYZ” folder into a zip or 7z or other compressed archive and should your settings reset, you can just copy that folder back into the C:\Users\XXXXX\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_program_files_(x86)_eve_LOGINNAME_sharedcache_tq_tranquility (or whatever your folder is called) folder to restore your settings. Just remember to do this regularly.
