Like the subject says, I can launch the client but all I see is black. The mouse cursor is there, but nothing ever shows up.

I know the client is not frozen because I can 'x' out by clicking where I should normally see the button.

The problem started 17 April, at about 1400 Eve time. Right around the time systems started to crash and as a result I needed to log off. Since that log-off, I have not been able to launch the game properly.

I have the same problem, but i can allso hear music. Been looking all around the forums and google for a sollution to no avail.
If there is one, I havent found it and it has probebly been burried by trolls.
But from what I have found on the forums it has been an issue since July 2011.
You would have thought that some DEV would have actually found this pice of faulty coding and deleted it by now and told the rest not to put it back in again (sadly noone listens to him, they only steal his -"\Red Swingline Stapler/"- .)

theres a recent thread that states a player had a similar issue as yours and a full re-install of the game fixed it. worth a shot

Resetting EVERYthing you can in the launcher worked and clearing all caches. I don't know why, but it was a desperate attempt that worked before breaking down and re-installing.

Hooray for the continued support of Mac users! And the prompt 2+ week response time for bug reports!
