Switching X Sessions

#1

So I have a perfectly working 64-bit client using DX11 w/ DXVK that I run in a separate X session. Previously I was able to switch sessions (to look up market data or whatever) and come back to EVE without any problems. However, as of today when I try to do this the program will crash after 5-10 seconds with an unhandled page fault exception (see here). Is anyone else having this issue or know how I would approach fixing it?

I’ll add that this happens with all wine versions available in the launcher and certainly did not happen as recently as yesterday evening.

I honestly have no idea what you mean about switching x-sessions, maybe thats how Linux Noob I am :wink:

I simply run the game in windowed mode, and since dx11 gets me horrible FPS… I play with DX9. What do you use to switch sessions?

He probably launched two X sessions in the same time.

It’s one of the X feature and you can CTRL-ALT-F7, F8, F9… to switch between them.

I don’t know why he does that but X allow that.

I think I remember a very old pinned thread (on the old forums) about this, and I never quite understood why someone would do that.
