My production setup : multiple copies of launcher so that I can have default account names for different sessions, and don't need to re-enter username/password while swapping between PI alts.
Everything on D drive due to limited SSD
So initial install duality to d:\program files (x86)\ccp\duality copy folder to duality2
launch both : works OK. realize it is installing to C:\ProgramData\CCP\EVE and change config on one launcher to d:\... This is automagically copied to second eve install (nice)
restart both launchers and start downlaoding shared data to d:\ProgramData\... .This seems to work OK.
Minor problem : rework production eve desktop icon (all good : recopied new link to desktop)
Base install completes on both windows (with some stutters but seems to work OK)
Major problem : Hit Play on both windows. Neither duality session works. Locked up and wont restart Try again with just a single duality session. Still locked up.
Some potentially useful logs out the primary duality install are at https://www.dropbox.com/sh/h4q2dwhsdn2q2mk/AADkHbpsE3ZaNrapfDOfBK4za?dl=0 (a copy of the files in D:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE-duality\launcher\cache -- excluding browswercache folder)

Ok. so after my previous failed attempt ( https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5314792#post5314792 ) failed, I came back and tried again.
Hit play and gave it a long time. After several minutes of *nothing* I finally had eve start. Note: I have a fairly crappy internet connection which might be at fault, but I really would like some indication that *stuff* is happening rather than having to wait.
I did change c:\ProgramData\CCP to c:\ProgramData\NotCCP as I told the launcher to use the d:\ drive
Autopilot will not let me 'find' a destination but I can still use my personal assets to set a destination.
Resizing a window initially causes that client to freeze for about a minute. maximize Client 1 window; and then it freezes maximize Client 2 window and it also freezes Restore window ?? Ok I think Resize client 1 : freezes again wait a bit and resize client 2 : now ok resize both clinetns and everything ok
Dock in a different station for the first time : presented with a black screen for about 10 seconds (capatins quarters off; but load station environment on; setting optimized for performance, but effects all enabled. (treating a station like it was a fixed background would be better)
General comments; each of the freeezes I am experiencing feel like the client has crashed. One stated purpose is to get newbies in the game faster. so leaving me thinking that I have crashed is not going to inspire confidence in a newbie.
A DXDiag for my system can be found at https://www.dropbox.com/s/wt4n99szqcy2lkm/DxDiag.txt?dl=0

Ok. A complete reinstall of the duality. Remove d:\...\EveDuality, remove d:\ProgramData\Eve*, also remove %appData%\ccp\eve\*duality*
Even after shutting down all eve sessions and launchers and attempting to re-install from EVE_Online_Installer_852537.exe, I get freezes during the initial installer process (Hitting next? after accepting licence agreement). Rebooting PC seems to solve this.
After installing, set /server on a new shortcut. create another copy of duality's folder so I now have duality and duality2
Fire off duality1. Immediately turn crash it because I forgot log server Start logserver from primary Duality install
Fire of duality 1 again
Read https://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Log_Server, and from log server start file -> new workspace (nothing appearing, am I doing it right?)
Duality loads 323.41 MB of data and sits at 100% for a minute or 2?
I check the resource download setting, noting it has remembered my previous session preference (so obviously not a 100% clean install, but I am ok with that)
Fire off duality #2 session. It doesnt seem to need to redownload stuff (nice)
log into both duality #1 and duality #2 Log server starts going nuts (good)
both launchers swap between launching and back to play (local time 12:58)
2 eve windows start but are 'not responding'
Log server shows 2 crash dumps uploaded Log server shows a whole lot of resources being downloaded
after a couple of minutes I click again on one of the eve windows and I get a black fullscreen window. Alt tab a couple of times (mostly to update these notes - and I am a little impatient) and tab back and get a character selection window (no portraits - but thats ok at this point)
Resize window to a couple of configurations ; everything Ok
Click on second eve session and get a black screen but this time much shorter.
1:04 click on 1 pilot from each session and get black windows for about 30 seconds; and windows nag about allowing network traffic. 1:06 : 'smoke effects' showing on eve session 2. presented with 2 docked windows and everything black 1:08 : eve session 2 starts having a flashing set of lights . Eventually both windows show up
(so maybe 3.5 minutes of an unusable black screen when I first start? Would be a good time to show a movie or tutorial, or something to inform/distract user while resources are loading)
Open up market and get 'no messageId for a couple of marget groups (plex; Moongoo??) screenshot
undock at the same time (still at default resolution, I will dial this down later)
Autopilot search for a system fails setting Autopilot from personal assets works While stuffing around with autopilot settings something flashed up on session 2. The background nebula in Bei loaded?
maximise window 2 : freeze starts 1:17 local unfreezes 1:18 but ... probalby was 10 seconds? Get stopwatch app on phone. Restore window. this time was freeze for 2 seconds reszize window width : no problems Resize window height : freezes for 11 seconds (from stopwatch) Can now resize window 2 without any freezes can also resize window 1 without any freezes
set auto pilot to dock. Dockup. Session 1 docks first (bei Vi moon 8?): again getting grey smoke for a while (subjective 30? seconds) before station background shows up session 2 docks up : also gets grey smoke, this time roughly stop watch time of 30 seconds before station background shows up. (all stations are new to client) Undock client 1; dock client 1. Station background loads immediately
undock client 1, dock at different station (Bei planet 7 moon 8). Still have a brief 'grey smoke on back blackground) but 2? seconds (longer than at previous station but still ok)
dock client 2 at the same station as client 1 currently in (bei P7M8) takes 1:30 for station background to load. undock. redock. station background takes 1:00 for to reload
log off both sessions
Try to workout what data I have captured with the logserver (and partially fail) and worry that I lost some usefull stuff regarding the resizing issue.
Copy screenshots and what logfile server info I have into google drive https://drive.google.com/folderview?id=0B1HsU_rOxWl4MTdyMjcySUZHc2s&usp=sharing

CCP can tell us what *should* happen, but possibly not what *will* happen.
Try repartiioning a drive, or possibly installing the program cache to a smaller USB stick |
