Same for me, will test dx9 without post processing. Few people have reported it's working fine like that.

Having the same issues. When I fly with the starmap open across my paths I do not crash. When I exit the starmap and jump to a gate I usually crash. Running a 6850 2gb . The crashes have only been occurring when jumping to a gate. Post processing has not stopped the crashing. I am mainly flying in caldari space.
I am running two clients on two monitors both max settings with Post disabled and on windowed mode .

Experiencing this problem where the display driver stops responding and recovers. Normally encounter this while jumping through gates, warping to structures - pos / poco's etc where interestingly enough when the system recovers I find i've been bumped thousand of km away from the intended destination.

One thing I have noted is that on the 28th there was an update to .net 4.5 to 4.5.1 . The results of this were BSOD while playing with EvE where the faulting module would be atikmdag.sys (atikmdag+0x277CE) . It's worth noting that after rolling back this update I no longer receive bluescreens, just display driver crashes when running DX11

System Spec

i7 920 @ 4ghz
12GB DDR3
R9 290X - running CCC 13.12

I disabled post procesing and antialising and executed eve as a win xp sp3 compatibility mode and no more crashes

Same problem here.
It crashed about 4 time in the past 30 minutes.
My card is an ATI Radeon 7850 with 2Gb or RAM DDR5.

AMD 1055T - AMD HD7950

Crashsing in dx11 and dx9, specially when warping to a POS. When the effect of the POS shield expanding starts appearing the drivers hangs.

Also a crash victim


I5 2500k
AMD Radeon 280x (gigabyte 3gb OC)
win7 ultimate 64bit

seems all affected are using AMD cards, ive evn trid running no OC (stocking card to 1100/1500) and no OC on cpu

Ill try the DX9 idea.

By any chance, how many people here play BF4 and have you been updating drivers and DX files to fix that, maybe this is linked to updating those??

hd6950 2GB (dual monitors windowed fullscreen)
win7 ultimate 64bit

Updated from 13.5 to 13.12 gfx drivers because drivers were crashing and game was freezing.
Didn't fix it, hope I can play again with mondays patch.

TEMPORARY WORKAROUND FOR VIDEO CRASH WHEN WARPING:

I think I found a temporary workaround. I in a previous post I already mentioned that minimizing video settings helps to avoid the warp crash (for me at least). But that wasn’t really a satisfactory solution. So I started to narrow it down.

I found that disabling AA (Anti-Aliasing) solved the problem for me (tested over 1:30h with over 70 jumps over various accounts). It’s not a perfect solution but at least all other settings can stay maxed out.

Hope this helps!

I originally posted this in another thread but some people have the same issues here... This gives you another option to try besides going back to DX9.

Can confirm I am getting this problem as well. Was moving an alt through high-sec between Jita and Amarr, and the client was locking up/crashing (not always permanently) on probably every single stargate.

My card is an AMD 7950 usually running at max settings.

CPU: Intel i5 3570k
GPU: AMD Radeon HD 7950
Driver: Latest
OS: Windows 7 64 bit

Maybe not, but you can add my AMD FirePro M4000 to the list.
The card crashed consistently when warping to a gate, station, or faction warfare beacon.
The computer has gone from something that could easily run two clients to an unplayable heap overnight. Thanks!

Looking around this thread, i'd say that the client is crashing on more ATI models than its running stable on. Since you didnt seem to realize that when you made your comment, Ive taken the time to put together a list for CCP.
Listed versions of crashing AMD/ATI cards so far include:
3570
4890
5700
5770
5800
5850
5870
5970

7970
8670
M4000
R9 200
R9 270X
R9 280
R9 280X
R9 290

So, just out of curiosity.....what version(s) of ATI cards was the original (bug causing code) tested on? Personally, I would pay top dollar for whatever card you guys test with if it means i wont have issues like this in the future. This is no joke. I really want to know the models you test with so i can go purchase one. Please also include the version of the driver your testing rig is using. Thanks in advance for the info.

Wow, i can't even start the game anymore. I select my character and then the driver crashes and I cannot play, I have to force quit the game. Please CCP rollback whatever you introduced in your last update, it's unplayable.

I find it interesting that CCP can basically release patches for the most complicated game I've ever seen on one server, where anything can be broken by the release of something completely not related, and they actually have a fairly good record of not breaking as much as you think they would and when they break something ERMAHGERDITSTHENDOFTHEWORLDHOLY****!

Just sayin'...

boot.ini not included. This isn't as bad....

Tried to jump out of Dodixie four times and crashed on every attempt. I'm essentially stuck in this ridiculous system.

Each time AMD crashes the game recovers, only I'm deposited 250-600km off my intended gate.

Currently cruising at a stately 450m/s towards the Botane gate. Only 247km to go!

You may add 6970 if you like.
