Meh. It it a REALLY dumb ide to ask an developer participating in the EVE Prather program regarding EULA-breaking automation. And even if I wasn’t, I would report him anyway. Botting and scripting is **BAD** for EVE ---

Hi All, I was just wondering, for me when I have them showing it will show the current active client as live but the other one will be frozen (Like a screenshot) and then when I switch it does vice versa. Do I need to change some sort of settings on my eve clients? NVM should have searched post. had that button ticked about inactive clients… 🙂 ---

Eve-O Preview was installed and working great on my two monitor setup. Pretty easy to install, etc. I had to, today, clear cache and perform resets on my Eve toons and now Eve-O Preview is not working well. If I do not have Eve-O Preview running I can Alt-Tab to each toon/client without issue however Eve-O’s preview windows are either (a) not showing the actual graphic (just a black box), (b) a solid green color, or (c) 100% non-responsive. I have tested it by launching my Eve clients and playing the game with and without Eve-O in use. Lastly, I am not 100% sure how to ‘uninstall’ Eve-O Preview. I renamed the original install to \*.old and installed a new instance but the same behaviors are happening. Any ideas or help would be great. I have reviewed their own site and this one to no avail. Really like the app and hope I can fix this. Thank you. ---

Check the client settings. Guess they are running in Fullscreen mode instead of Fixed Window. ---

Is there some way to cycle through clients with a left/right hotkey, instead of assigning a hotkey per client? Would make going through daily alpha rewards and checking who has empty skillqueues faster, since you can’t bind a hotkey to a client on the character screen. ---

Constantly crashing my game clients. Each client runs fine at 60 Fps without EVE O. Not sure what to do to fix this, but I don’t feel like losing my ships to this program. I can go about 10 minutes before one of my clients crashes. ---

Crashes how? Since EVE-o does not interact with EVE in any way, that’s an interesting report to hear. ---

Then do not use it. You know where the delete button is and there will be no traces of it in your system. Considering that EVE-O Preview does NOT interact with EVE client in any other way than moving its main window, this looks more like a host system instability. ---

* * * Well, my friends, I guess you all know that the world has changed last week. The crazy sh\*t is going on. For uncertain period of time development and support of of EVE-O Preview are in minimal mode (read: there will be delays). Still, the application itself is quite stable, even on Win 11, so I guess you will be fine 😀 Fly safe and stay alive. ---

I’m not sure if anyone is having the same issue, but I run 5 clients, however one specific client won’t show up in Eve-o. I’ve tried checking/unnchecking all of the settings, closing both Eve and Eve-o, to no avail. Any ideas? The other 4 work perfectly. ---

Is it always the same client? Please show your configuration file here (WARNING: It contains your char names. Replace names with ### and somehow mark the client name that is not displayed) ---

Hey, thanks for the reply! I took a look at the config file to copy it here and noticed that for some reason, the client in question was marked as being way off screen. Instead of “FlatLayout: 1-1000” it was set at over 3000, so I lowered it and it appeared on screen. Thanks for the prompt! ---

Hello, I have been using EVE-O preview for some time now. I have set up Hotkey bindings for my main clients but was wonder is there a way to set a hot key binding to switch between clients in a ascending or descending order. For example, Shift+TAB Cycle from client 1 through Client 9 and Alt+Shift+TAB cycle from 9 to 1. This idea basically minimizes the amount of window clicking. “EVE - Evenextclientascending”: “Shift+TAB” "EVE - Evenextclientdescending ": “Alt+Shift+TAB” I know the script is incorect just put it that as an example. thanks in advance. ---

There’s literally lots of programs to automate routine windows switching tasks. Pick one, list your clients in a script and bind hotkeys to walk the list. ---

Hi so having a slight issue, whichever client opens second won’t switch to by keybind, (Clicking on the thumbnail still works) this seems to be because I play with a fixed window? is there a workaround that doesn’t require me not to use fixed window clients? ---

I understand as you say, there are many programs that do these things. But that’s not what I was asking. Im not asking for another program. I am trying to perform the next client function within the eve-o preview without the need for a secondary app. I am unfamiliar the the script formula needed to to create a key bind that will switch to next client without then need to create a key bind for 21 clients. As I have 21 active actions. ---

Just wanted to chime in additional support for a toggle client (asc and desc would be great) hotkey getting added as a feature. When multiboxing, sometimes it’s nice to just switch to all of them in order one at a time to do something vs needing a ton of unique hotkeys that need to be assigned and pressed.
