== How to launch the game on a new computer ==
== Launching the game on a new computer ==
 
# Plug in your portable EVE to a new device
# Make sure the drive letter is "X:". If not, change it in Win+X -> "Disk Management"
 
Now, there are two different approaches you can choose. One is manual, second more automated but requires a minimum knowledge of Windows
 
=== Manual ===
Navigate to "X:\EVE Online\Documents" and copy folder named "EVE" and paste it into "C:\Users\.user.\Documents"
Navigate to "X:\EVE Online\Local" and copy folder named "CCP" adn paste it to "C:\Users\.user.\AppData\Local" (this is a hidden folder)
 
 
=== Automatic (WARNING, ONLY FOR PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTAND XCOPY AND RD COMMANDS) ===
# In "X:\EVE Online" create a text file named "startup.txt" and paste the code below:xcopy /E Documents %userprofile%\Documents\ /Y<br>xcopy /E Local %userprofile%\AppData\Local\ /Y
# After saving the file, change extention from ".txt" to ".bat".
# Run the script.
 
Now you can launch the game and play instantly with all your accounts logged in and all user settings saved.
 
== Cleaning the computer after playing ==
 
# Exit game (make sure it does not still run in tray)
# Run "clean.bat"
# If you want to clear more traces of EVE running, navigate to "C:\Users\.user.\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Recent" and remove all EVE-related shortcuts.
# Disconnect your device.
