I did try running it in Compatibility mode, but it didn’t hook either. I guess I’ll wait till I pick up a couple 400 series cards

SoftTH might not work with 3 or more graphic cards, the author explicitly mentioned two GPUs. I assume other uses might still work but might not be supported. Also, I do not use SLI mode, as my second GPU is not made for it.

In essence the hack hooks up to DirectX and overrides some of the normal settings, and forces higher graphic resolutions. Image gets rendered and sent to its correct monitors.

As said before, it is important that the IDs for the monitors is correct in the config file. If it still however does not hook, check for output in the SoftTH.log file which gets generated each time you run EVE on SoftTH mode.

I’ve put SoftTH.cfg in my user folder and in “C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE – Copy\SoftTH”.

I’m running in SLI mode, with a 3rd graphics card running my 3rd (right) monitor, does this make a difference?

Perhaps if I knew more of what this does exactly, I’m still quite puzzled how it actually “hooks”, and why and how the files get executed. Thanks so much for all your help

The shortcut is correct. In the SoftTH folder there have to be the files from the hack.

Also, it is important that you place the SoftTH.cfg in the root of your user folder, for example C:\Users\[yourUserName]\SoftTH.cfg

A couple things though – I don’t see 1.09 RC available for download on their site, just beta 1.08.

Also, perhaps mine isn’t hooking properly, I’ve created a shortcut like this:

target: “C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE – Copy\bin\ExeFile.exe”
Start in: “C:\Program Files (x86)\CCP\EVE – Copy\SoftTH”

Still no difference, the game starts up like normal. I also tried putting the “start in” folder set to a SoftTH folder in my user directory. Because Eve is a bit different than other games, there’s a workaround, right?
