I have 7 characters, and 6 monitors. Definitely a niche use case, but I have some quality of life issues I face daily. I have 5 1080p monitors, and a 4K monitor. Every time I launch my accounts, the monitor each account is set to launch on, the resolution, the UI scale, and the graphics settings are reset every single time. Every time I launch my accounts I need to manually set every single setting on each account. Its rather annoying. Why does EVE not remember these settings on a per account basis? ---

Yep. I got a new computer and was pretty annoyed to find all that I had to set up from scratch. Worst was resetting my overview, which I know can be saved and shared, but that is not exactly intuitive either, nor do I understand it all well enough, so I just did it from scratch. At least I learned a few things about those pesky overview settings in the process. ---

Have you assigned each of the accounts to their own separate Launcher profiles? If not, and they are using a shared profile, then they are going to keep overwriting each other. Here is the base EVE support article on launcher profile management: > **[Profile Management Tool](https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/212689029-Profile-Management-Tool)** > > Settings are stored in profiles, when a user makes changes to their settings within the game they will be saved to the currently selected profile. Users can have as many profiles as they wish and e... You will want to create separate profiles for each account, and then assign them accordingly (which is done under the account-level settings in the Launcher, vs the Launcher-level settings where you create additional profiles). The article also includes instructions on where to find the files if you need to back them up (for a reformat or new computer setup). ---

Thank you! This is exactly what I needed to do. I was not using separate launcher profiles, and they were overwriting each other every time. I just went through and set everything up and its working as I wanted (every account has its own profile now). Saves me a ton of time and I can get in the game a lot quicker now. I sent you 75 mil ISK as a thanks. ---
