Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I have been having a strange issue recently (~past two or three days) with open windows disappearing while I am docked.

Say, for example, that I am browsing the market while docked (in either ship hanger or captains quarters) and I make a purchase and suddenly the client goes haywire. My open windows disappear - character sheet, assets, the market window I just purchased from, even chat and station services. The EVE menu bar stays where it is supposed to, but the other windows are just gone (not minimized, just gone); I can spin my ship, but I can't do anything else.

At first I thought "Oh, great, client crash", but nope, the application appears to be running fine, and if I hit ESC the game menu will appear. Sometimes the game menu opening fixes the issue, but often times I have to quit the client and relaunch. I haven't made any hardware or software changes over the time that this has been occurring - it just started happening the other day, seemingly at random, and it has gotten even more random since then, to the point where I'm basically not able to do anything while I'm docked up.

I really don't even know where to begin in fixing this.

I have the same issue, client windows disappearing and reappearing randomly. What helps is ALT+TAB to windows and back, but the issue returns after some time ..

Same problem, except all my windows disappeared...chat included.

I've been seeing this issue as well and it getting really annoying fast. The Alt-Tab clears it up for a bit but it alwasy happens again within mins or even seconds.

Win 7 Ultimate 64-bit, Service Pack 1
AMD FX(tm)-8150 Eight-Core Processor 3.60 GHz
32.0 GB ram
Nvidia GeForce GTX 560

Same thing on my Eve client. When i have inventory or for an example science window open or just if i haven't
moved my mouse over the screen in 2-3 minuttes. Chat windows are gone. And the other windows also is gone.

This started the last week for me too, i usually get my screens back by clicking on the eve-icon in the "eve-taskbar"

Update:
I started monitoring my graphics card (Nvdia 760 GTX) when your docked EVE slowly starts eating all the memory of the card.
Alt-tabbing releases the memory (drops from 4 gig to 500 ish MB)
To reproduce: Sell stuf and check market prices and wait a while (basicly opening and closing screens while docked)

Submitted ticket
When you're docked for al longer time and/or when you open/close a lot of screens (i.e. selling stuff) EVE slowly eats the memory of the Graphics card (Nvidia GTX 760 with 4 gig) Alt-tabbing back tot windows releases the graphics memory (drops from 4 gig to 500 ish MB)

Don't know if this is scrictly Nvidia related or a general issue.

- OS Win7 X64 fully patched
- Processor Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 960 @ 3.20GHz, 3201 Mhz, 4 Core(s), 4 Logical Processor(s)
- 12 gig Physical system memory
- Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
- Grapg Mem 4096 MB GDDR 5
- Graphics driver 331.82

Anyone try resetting the UI to fix it? You'll have to redo your window positions, etc.

esc > Reset Settings > (in the middle) Reset to Default Window Positions

or the awful & painful
Reset All Settings

Same issue here

win7 64 bit
intel core5
nvidia 460 driver 331.82

It's really annoying!

Same thing happening here. It's often associated at the same time with the sound (i.e., music and station effects) turning off and the client crashing. I don't seem to have any problems in space, but it seems to happen in station.

Having the same problems also, Only really noticed it since the Rubicon patch, alot of the time they either reappear themselfs or an alt-tab resolves the issue, but on the odd occassion the client locks up and i have to force close it in task manager. its rather annoying!

A fix would be nice, just glad its not just me.
