Client Freezes and Symbolic Links (CCP Devs requesting feedback - particularly from multiboxers)

[EaTCarbS]

If you multibox and use symbolic links to set up your multiple EVE instances and your EVE client freezes frequently, especially on undocking or jumping I would like to hear from you.

There may be a bug in Windows, or possibly in Python that has to do with files in folders accessed via symlinks, but I haven't been able to work out if this is affecting the client or not. So, if the very specific condition described above applies to you, I'd like to hear from you and learn more about how you set up the symbolic links.

Either post here, or send me an EVE mail.

Thanks!

i never had that freeze, yet im having a TON of clients reporting that cache is corrupt. a restart fixes it, but every time i run the game two or three clients get that error.

made a bug report and it seems to be a different bug that that one with junctions.

I don't get freezes either. Its usually just a client that crashes, or a black screen when I undock, but even that is rare.
