Installed Eve on new Laptop. Launcher opens and patches correctly. Once I log in and hit play I get a brief command window (DOS) and it disappears, after that nothing. No Exefile, CCP programs or anything else running in task manager. I have tried reinstalling, safe mode, compatibility modes, bypassing launcher, disabling anti-virus, turning off Windows Firewall, all to no avail. Same thing happens if I execute Exefile directly.

I am out of things to try. Any thoughts?

Have you installed display drivers that can handle opengl/directx? Also I think opening the loglite might show something Loglite can be found from the E-button next to minimize and close buttons in top right corner of the launcher.

I updated graphics drivers and even disabled the Intel option through the bios to make it run NVIDIA 100% of the time. I am now wondering if this is a DIRECTX issue. Under the launcher settings on the Game tab it says "your computer only supports DirectX 9" but in Dxdiag is shows I am running 12.

I don't have an E-button on launcher. Just a settings wheel and don't see Loglite anywhere. I do have logs though in my launcher cache.

Quick clarification, I see the screenshots of the Loglite button. That appears to be the client screen that I cannot even get to. My problem is before I even get to that screen. Again to clarify, I can log into the Launcher application but when I hit play I get a message stating Launching, followed by a quick CMD window splash and then nothing.

Are you using the new or the old launcher? New one looks a bit like this: http://i.imgur.com/7ck1opt.png

If you don't have the new launcher, follow the video linked in this thread: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=466789&find=unread

If you do have the new launcher, please copy-paste the version info from bottom right. E.g. mine is: Launcher: 1011198 GUI: 1.857

I've wiped my computer and reinstalled windows 7, tried old and new launcher but the game won't run. All I get is a few seconds of loading when I click play from the launcher. I have tried to run the game directly, but nothing runs. No idea what else to do.

Ok, I've managed to get the game to start, so if anyone else would like to try what I did here it is.
After trying all the launchers and getting no results I made sure to download java, which I didn't have because of the recent computer wipe. Not sure if that was what did it because I also made sure to get every microsoft update I could, including all of the optional updates. After that, and resetting my computer, I opened the launcher, hit play, and waited a few seconds. I didn't think anything had happened, so I closed the launcher and then eve opened up in the background. Hope this helps someone else.

Java is most definitely not needed for EVE (I don't have it on any computer that I play eve on) and please make sure you disable java plugin for your browser unless absolutely necessary.

Eve runs on win7 SP1 + security updates (no optional installed) so there is something very strange going on. Can any of you post the logs to show where it gets stuck?

I know that Java isn't needed, but still, I thought that I had better cover all bases.

Pretty sure this includes display drivers for your card. If you don't have a discrete display card, you probably are using intel integrated one. Drivers for that are probably easiest to find from optional windows updates.

Windows bare installation doesn't include display drivers that would support 3d, thus none of the games that use directx or opengl should not work.

Thus if this problem is only with the EVE client and all other games are working well, please submit support ticket to CCP.

A) you are missing the 3d driver, or B) your hardware doesn't support directx 11, so select 9 from: new launcher > settings > Launch options > check: Run game on DirectX 9

Dev helped me solve this issue. Posting resolution in case anyone else has this problem.

It's possible the game has been unable to extract some directx files it needs. Please try manually extracting them. Here are the steps:

Download and install UniExtract from this page:

http://legroom.net/software/uniextract

Use UniExtract on DirectXRedist in your client's "bin" folder. This should extract five files. Put those files in your bin directory where DirectXRedist is located.
Try running the game again.

Usual location would be:

\EVE\SharedCache\tq\bin\

This worked for me. Thank you.

Just make sure you extract the files in the bin folder and not in the new folder DirectXRedist created automatically by UniExtract.
