=== Launch Mumble with EVE Online ===

To ensure you don't forget to launch Mumble, and to make sure the overlay loads properly (if you're using it), you may consider using a batch file to launch both EVE and Mumble with one click.

{{hatnote|'''These instructions will reference the default installation directory. This should be replaced with your own where necessary.'''}}

==== Copy the EVE Online shortcut ====

Create a separate copy of the original EVE shortcut. There are two reasons for this:

#You are going to alter your shortcut. In the case where you do not want to launch Mumble as well, you will retain the original shortcut.

#Easily copy the EVE icon for the new shortcut.

==== Modify the copied shortcut ====

Right click on the shortcut and select properties,

*In the Target: field replace everything with {{code|C:\Program Files\CCP\Start.bat}}

*In the Start in: field replace everything with {{code|C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE}}

(The start in line must be set to your EVE installation, this is because the launcher outputs a debug.log file. If you do not set this is will dump the log wherever your shortcut is.)

The shortcut can also be renamed if desired.

==== Create a batch file ====

The batch file can be placed anywhere, just remember to alter your "Target" field in the shortcut to match where you place it.

You will need to go to the folder <code>C:\Program Files\CCP\</code>, create a new text document in the folder and rename it to '''Start.bat'''.

Once done, right click the batch file and open it in a text editor such as Notepad.

Add the following, altering the paths to where you have EVE and Mumble installed:

<pre>

@echo off

start "" "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Mumble\mumble.exe"

</pre>

If you are using Windows 8 and your overlay does not work, you will need to add <code>nod3d9ex</code> to the end of the Mumble line like so:

<pre>

@echo off

start "" "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"

start "" "C:\Program Files\Mumble\mumble.exe" -nod3d9ex

</pre>

Save and close the file to finish. You can now use this new shortcut to launch both your EVE Client and Mumble at once.
