Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Having major graphical glitches with windows 8 in eve. It runs but it makes my eyes hurt right now.
The issue what I am getting is crazy colors like it is running almost in a different bit mode. I have no idea why though.

My system is as follows

Asus P67 Deluxe
I7 2600k
16gb Ram
2x HD6970
SSD and HDD
Graphic driver is 12.11

Confirmed issue with crossfire; severe graphical flickering and discolouration. Running the game in a Window bypasses crossfire and as an added bonus makes the desktop more easily accessible.

EVE was stalling on startup in Windows 8 when running the same client installation that I was using on Windows 7. It would take 2 minutes to load unless I ran more than one instance. The Repair app seems to have fixed it, though.

I uninstall windows 8 no way to play eve. i use 2xhd5970 in crossfire mode i even disable the crossfire no joy. Remove the ati cards and install the gtx690 still no joy...... back to windows 7 everything works just fine. Is there a way you people go to linux? because this windows 8 .... You know..

I am running Windows 8
everything ran great with windows 7 Ult. i was able to run all 3 clients without any issues -

I have zero issues running one client of EvE .. However - if i try to run 2 or even 3 clients they all crash - any help ?


i did try to run the game in compatibility mode windows 7 with program as an administrator - no joy
i did try to install the game into 3 different dir. and running each client that way - no joy
i did try to mklink /D thing (this in fact made everything worse Eve wouldnt run at all - so NO JOY

the popup message is always the same ccp.exe is not responding

the file sent to microsoft is also always the same
Compatibility issue

Can you please verify that you are using the latest drivers for Windows 8 for me, and report back with the version you are using?

you know you're not s'pose to be talking about these things in this thread - in fact only those having issues with windows 8 and the game are -

Or did you two not read that in the first post?

Running Windows 8 on 2 devices. Having issues as follows:

Device #1: Samsung Series 7 Slate
Issue: As described by a number of people here, if I alt-tab or close the client, it leaves it in a "neon zebra" state. Obviously some sort of graphical glitch/driver issue so not massively concerned as it's not my primary platform (apologies to those where it is).

Device #2: Desktop PC Intel Core i7-2600 CPU @ 3.4GHz, 8GB RAM, 64bit
Issue: And here comes the more insidious issue...when I'm playing for potentially an 'extended period of time', it either seems to lose connection or simply freeze the client. I am attempting to do some more root cause analysis so hopefully can be more specific. But it almost feels like the good old memory leak days when after a period of time the game just locks up. As soon as I have something more concrete I will post a follow-up (or edit this one).

NOTE #1 - The freezing issue is not related to multiple clients, it occurs even with a single client running.

Disregard all posts i figured out the problem i was having...

Bcuz - i have an Alienware computer it also has AlienFX - whenever i opened more than one client the AlienFX would become confused as to which client to run -

So the FIX -

Disable AlienFX within the settings menu in eve itself

everything runs great can now run 4 clients without any problems

I'm actually upgrading to W8 64 Pro version this weekend, any advice even the most basic one is the most welcome.

Stuff I keep:
Pross: I5 3.2GHz
DDR3 1600Hyperx 12GB
MB: Asus P7
GC: Gigabyte 460 GTX 2G DDR5 (OC version)

PP+regular peripherals being consumable I'm not really worried about. My worries are all about how to make this 64B version exploit at best pross/mem/GC resources to make Eve work perfectly with highest resolution settings. I'm not considering the internet connexion since this one is not a problem right now and shouldn't be after upgrading but can consider about upgrading to 100mB

Opinions about what I should take a good close look at before upgrading or while upgrading?
-software upgrades: AV - navigation security etc?

Thx in advance.

EDIT: I'm not actually upgrading from "x" windows version, I'm buying a full W8 pro version, thus installing in a new HD (sata 3TO 7200t/min 32Mo 6GB transfer), also keeping previous Win version in old HD while waiting for a full system stability.
