Hey everyone!

So, here is the thing...I use a laptop to play EVE and it's my only option. I have an AMD Radeon HD 6630M which I think should me enough for running the game well on low to medium settings. But the thing is, I had never had any problems playing the game and it worked fine, although it used to heat up my laptop quite a bit, until I got a little cooler that helped a bit.

Lately though, I have been having a few problems and my game has been crashing while in warp or in the middle of a mission...I can still hear the sound of warping and things like that and once I was watching youtube while playing and I continued hearing what was being said, but the video would freeze and I couldn't use my mouse or my keyboard. I'd try alt+tab and ctrl+alt+del and nothing would happen. So my solution was to turn off my pc and restart.

Since I didn't do anything different for this to happen, I started thinking what could be the problem, and I remembered there was a directX change from 9 to 11...could this be the problem? I have changed my settings to directx 9 yesterday and had no more crashing problems, but haven't played much since and I'm not sure if this could actually be the problem.

I'd like to know if anybody else had this issue and if anyone knows a way of fixing it or if I simply keep my settings to 9 if that could be the problem.

Thanks for your time and sorry for any grammar errors, english isn't my first language.

Edit: title.
