AddOnSettings.txt sometimes wiped.

Its multiaccount problem

why it happends?
no matter what addon for sets i use - Addon Profiles or Addon Selector

sometimes, probably when i entering to the game world/logout to character selection screen by two account simultaneously

all characters have all addons enabled and "Allow out of date addons" checkbox unticked
even if before i setup addon sets for each character separately and all was fine

and i need to login on each character of the account and setup addon's sets again, then relog to the 2nd account and repeat...

need to find a way to prevent this issue
any ideas?

When you start eso multiple times, do you use different windows users for each instance?
If you don't do this, they will overwrite each others profile data.

i use the same user, without virtual machines etc

but all fine, its working and do not mess each other
only sometimes

for example as you can see - all characters has their settings in one file

Someone on reddit had the same problem and using a different user solved the problem for them.

Grrrr

mby some1 can help here?

shift+right mouse click+run as another user works perfect

but shortcut wont

my code is

Code:

runas /savecred /user:"eso3" "C:\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online EU\game\client\eso.exe"

when i run is as bat or shortcut it launched the game for a second but then process of the game selfkilled
i see eso.exe for few seconds in task manager only

Try to put "start" in front. that way it should keep the process alive after the batch script ended.

Code:

start runas /savecred /user:"eso3" "C:\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online EU\game\client\eso.exe"

Not using windows, but I think I'd just copy the desktop link and edit the command inside it... should work, no?

Try this line:

Code:

start /WAIT runas /savecred /user:"eso3" "C:\Zenimax Online\The Elder Scrolls Online EU\game\client\eso.exe"

same, game window blinks and dissapear
i tried another applications, for example steam - all working fine and as intended

MAybe put the eso.exe file to always start as administrator, if you didn't check this checkbox in its properties already. Sometimes admin access opens a door

I just tried it myself and your first method works fine for me.
I put the line into a .bat file and adjusted the user and path for my own pc.
Only difference is that I have used my current user instead of a different one. Maybe you can try if it is working with your current user?
And another thing that might be different is the windows version. I am on win7 x64.
