Well, I understand this may have been reported already but the new driver from NVidia is conflicting with the Eve shaders. whole screen is blue blob, set shader level to medium and problem went away. Not what I call a fix though.

I was having the same issue with the recent beta drivers and a downgrade to the WHQL 314.22 and that seemed to fix it... Today I installed the LATEST WHQL Driver 320.18 and it seems just as busted as the beta drivers, bad form CCP

Actually the graphics issue is limited to the new launcher. If you start EVE with exefile.exe directly you dont get issues. Im running 320.18 smoothly as anal lube.

Odd, i had it... wait the launcher didnt load my graphics settings and thats why it seemed to cause it.
Oh yeah if you set the shader setting to medium or low it works.

Still blue for me ExeFile, eve.exe, and the launcher shortcut. I used this patch on a fresh install and the blue just wont quit, here are some screenshots - http://imgur.com/a/T3WsL

Same problem here with my Alienware M14x R2 with Nvidia 650M. No problems with the older driver but the newer driver results in a big blue blob on the right part of the screen.

I followed the instructions on some previous posts here and set the Shader Quality setting to Medium. That seems to fix it. Thanks!

Same issue with my nvidia 680m. Set shader to medium as suggested and this 'resolved' the problem. Thanks for that suggestion!

Hopefully CCP pokes Nvidia about this to fix.

This problem is not just happening in EVE. Its happening in a lot of games. This is not eve's issue, it is an issue with the latest ( Today May 24th 2013 ) drivers. I verified this with two other games. Same problem.

Revert to version 314.22 as others here have suggested. This is how I fixed it.

Your looking at me....  Fascinating.

Don't want to bash the green team but how did this problem get all the way through the beta and into the final version.

Did they just test the driver with a session of solitaire or something.

Has the green team given a fix window that anyone knows of.


For now I'll revert.

The poster above is spot on with other games being affected, Just visited the GeForce website and seems many games COD,BF3 and others are affected by either artefacts, stuttering or a blue hue of some sort.

Well I don't have any issue with all my other games but EvE.

Defiance, TERA, Metro Last Light, Crysis 3, BLOPS2, CS:GO, RE6, etc. All works fine under 320.00 or 320.18. Only EvE has this issue for me.

I'm not reverting to 314.xx since 320.18 are optimized for Metro LL which I'm playing now. I'll just use medium shaders in EvE in the meantime.

After installing a brand new GTX 660 SC and logging in I was thinking DOA card. Thanks for everyone mentioning the shaders fix, it works a charm
