Hi all.

Returning to EvE from a long hiatus, I am now mainly using OSX, yesterday I reformatted my iMac 2011 i7, and booted up EvE today after doing all the updates etc.

However it seems I cannot play more then ten minutes without it locking up to the degree where I have to hard reboot my iMac to get out of it ( cmd, period and escape do nothing )

As such it's unplayable, anyone got any advice I could use?

Parallels, and install Windows.

CCP doesn't actually make a Mac client, they take a Windows client and wrap it in Cider so I suspect most of the crashes are coming from Cider.

But, if you install Parallels and then install Windows and then Eve it runs super sweetly including multiple clients in the same VM.
