Don't know if this will help anyone, but I'll toss in my personal experience if it helps:

Before today's patch, I would crash at every gate. I took someone's suggestion and turned of AA (I did NOT change any other setting NOR did I change the renderer to DX9). That simple change fixed the crashing.

Once I installed the patch this morning, I turned AA back on and I've been crash free ever since. No artifacts or any other graphical glitches.

My (aging) setup:

AMD 9950 BE quad-core cpu
4GB DDR2 RAM
ASUS M3A32 MVP Deluxe mobo
ASUS HD6870 gpu

Really? Then what happened during that Captain's Quarters thing?


Give me one case it was the game fault for destroying one GPU and was not a case of bad cooling design. You cannot blame a game for stressing a GPU so it's own cooling fails.

Well in theory should never happen, Card shuts itself down technically as a failsafe, Is at a hardware level,

EVE now brutally repeatedly crashes vid card drivers on this patch...
Paying good money for two accounts that have an empty Q...

Tried fresh, no AA, no FXAA, etc. Even attempted to run it through a VMware host...

dxdiag http://pastebin.com/auer5rHu

Edit:

rebooted, prevented dxtory (dx capture and overlay app) from running, set all graphics to low, FIXED!
if i set gfx settings back to high i get awesome graphical glitches and driver crashes

To be fair, the patch seems to have fixed my issue (AMD R9 280X), but based on what I'm seeing here, this entire incident has been an ongoing festival of failure, and I really think it's time for a blog post where someone says "sorry guys, I'm ultimately responsible, here's what we think is going wrong and here is how we are going to give restitution".

I was having the issue but after today's patch I made ~30 jumps and have had 0 crashes. I noticed that when I undocked from the first station it took a while for the models to load. My ship, the station, even the planet took about 25-30 seconds to load. After that I had no problems warping around, I didn't make it to any highly populated areas, but I was only having problems near gates in low sec or while jumping.

I'm running in DX11 everything on HIGH and HDR on.

For me it's the following:

Mac: launcher updates fine but when I start black screen with music... Force quit is very slow and I even had to hard reset my mac book pro twice while trying.
PC: Laucher gets stuck or freezes completely, cant't even log-in, repair tool gets stuck with 22% while downloading about 700mb

No way to play atm and the launcher cache on both systems didn't solve a thing for me :(Oops

I'm having issues too:

This started with today's patch. I'm using an NVidia card, on Win7 64 bit.

1. Launched the game, as soon as I got to the character selection screen, everything went black. A few seconds later, I got a BSOD with the error code 0x116.

2. Launched the game, as soon as I got to the character selection screen, everything went black. A few seconds later, things came back. Moving the mouse and highlighting my character caused another black screen. After a few seconds, I could log in, with visual artifacts in the character selection screen. In-game appeared fine.

3. I came on the forums, read that clearing the cache might help. I cleared it, which restarted the game. On character selection screen, my main character's picture was gone. I got a black screen. Couple of seconds later, the game minimized, and I got an error message from Firefox telling me that it crashed (it was running in the background. It was also running when (1) happened.) I alt-tabbed back into the game. Black screen, came back to Desktop. I quit Firefox again, alt-tabbed back in. After a few more black screens, I could log back in. In-game appears fine.

After the Patch I've had no problems, all settings high with AA set to Med and DX11.

I was in a 200+ fleet last night and no crash.

Seems more stable after mornings patch, but now I have some kind of glich while warping, warp tunnel effect is pixelated and sometimes, usually while flying through a planet, the warp effect freezes completely, but doesn´t crash.

Seems like CCPs response to the petitions on ship losses due to their buggy code is tough luck.

Sure would be nice to get a dev to respond in this thread about this.

Edit: Still isn't fixed, happens less often mind but when it does it crashes the whole system.

OSX still has the issue as well... apparently CCP isn't able to reproduce the mac issue which is quite much the same issue on Windows.

I do hope we get reimbursements for this issue, game time and ship losses.

Hmm ok this has not been fixed ..... at all...

I still have frequent driver kernel crashes when running EvE, not an issue on any other game.
It starts out with a small flicker the accelerates resulting in a Blackscreen, then driver crash, but no client crash.
Before todays patch i even had a client go apeshit and doing pixelation only seen before on Commodore64 loading screens (Yes i am that old) Even reinstalled my GPU driver.

That doesn't sound like the same issue. The issue mentioned in this thread only affects AMD graphics cards. You have an Nvidia. Would appear that your issue is unrelated, and is being caused by something else. In my experience, the display driver crash we get has no warning either. I never get flickering, it just goes poof and I get a driver crash. Your issue seems different. Though the GTX 285 is a very old graphics card. Maybe it doesn't like something that was changed. Shaders perhaps. Or perhaps you're trying to run the game in DirectX 11 mode.... which the GTX 285 cannot do. It only supports up to DirectX 10.1. I'm not sure if EVE defaults back to 9 or not.

With today's patch my drivers didn't crashed in character selection, they haven't crashed in gates or stations. Also no BSOD. Looks good so far! I have everything at minimum, I will try to max it and see what happens.
