Also, another thing. Can you guys try resetting the cache files? In the Escape menu -> Reset Settings -> Clear all cache files
If it still persists, just keep posting here so I can continue to debug it.


i even try fresh install of eve client, no change

if i play single client, problem is gone, at moment i start second and its starts.

at first i though its overheating problem, but when i checked my VC was cold.
upgraded my VC drivers to latest, downgraded them to few old versions, no change.

Same problem, the first client I login with is generally OK but the second client is frequently unplayable when I login. I have experienced the UI appearing normally but disappearing, but I've just logged in and got this too:

I got the same issue of windows disappearing even when running a single client, the windows will show back up eventually if moving around a station but will present a ton of artifacting and other weird stuff.

This happens on my XP machine but not on my Win7 laptop.

Intel Core 2 Quad Processor Q9550
Geforce 9800GTX x2SLI
WinXP 32
Ram 4g

edit: I notice it only starts happening after initially alt tabbing which might be why people notice it more with multiple clients.

Same issue when running x2 clients.

ALT + TAB to switch between the 2 clients does this for me randomly, if i have parts of the UI missing i select Tactical option and that brings everything back as normal but the problem seems intermittent.

The random window disappearance isn't really a Crucible issue per se. I've experienced it for Incarna as well - albeit at a much lesser frequency.

With the Crucible patch, the frequency that this happens is very debilitating.

So far, only my items window in hanger seems to do this (just up and up closes on its own, makes me sad)..............so far.

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

I am also seeing the screen flicker as well - if its not flickering, the entire UI Disappears except for the ship information in the bottom that lists the cap and mods.

I have been having screen flickering issues for quite some time as well - really noticeable when probing, also had a petition on about that, and they said to delete the cache files as well.

Dunno if it is an related issue, but I have had times where my drones window disappears. That is the only one that does, making my drones unusable.
