Hey guys,

I've already submitted a tech-support ticket but thought I'd put this out there to see if anyone else is having similar issues.


When attempting to open the in-game browser, the Mac client freezes. To restart the client, I am required to force quit in Activity Monitor the 3x Eve Online processes and the wine server process.

If I only force quit the client process and restart a new client session from the existing launcher session, the new client session will not start at all.

Upon restarting the client and launcher from scratch, sometimes the browser will load successfully, but most of the time it will freeze again. Trouble-shooting steps are listed below:

  1. Restarted client and tried opening in-game browser again - client freezes
  2. Tried opening with different website (browser bookmark shortcut) - client freezes
  3. Tried opening with different account on same computer - client freezes
  4. Tried opening igb both docked and undocked - client freezes



I'm running latest client and launcher. This issue has only been noticed since the Mosaic patch a few days ago. Prior to that, client was running smoothly.

Client: v13.04.878744
Launcher: v2.2.878305
OS: Yosemite, v10.10.3 (latest)
Mac Specs: iMac 27in, late 2013; 3.5GHz i7 24gb memory, GeForce GTX780M

I'm having the same issue right now. If I skip the launcher, everything seems to work.

OS X 10.9.5

Launcher: v2.2.878305

Reproduced the issue on my old MBP. This is on the back of a full wipe and re-install from scratch after I just got the iMac 1x week ago.

I also experience the same issue....

I am running 2xEVE on a MBP, cloned with the EVEClonemaker.

I have to restart my MBP 3-4 times till i get it to work.

This is really frustating.

CCP please do something....fast....

Just tried this technique this morning, didn't get a single successful in-game browser launch in 10x attempts (on the iMac).

Seems to have less of an issue on the MacBook though. I had an initial crash when first trying to launch the IGB (using EVE launcher) and then none after (opening client directly).

Same problem, very frustrated.
Browser was working fine on Mosaic. It does not always freeze, I feel like 50% of time.

Client v2.2.878305, but it has been happening also on earlier versions of Mosaic.

I still don't have the problem. I might once have had it, but I only rarely do anything with the IGB.

IGB works-- swells it ever does, in station, while undocking, jumping through gates. The one thing I can't test easily is whether an API pull from the IGB would cause mischief. I don't do industry. I even ran the Niarja pipe while plugging random information into Steve's Fuzzwork apps.

So, it's not a simple thing. What are you all doing with the browser? Is it really just crashing the client on launch? CCP, is there a way to extract information they can send you?

Only difference I see is you updated to Yosemite. I thought Eve wasnt supported in Yosemite. Maybe it's time to update OS X with mosaic.

I can't find any official word about Yosemite support, so I can't unreservedly recommend it. I can only say that it works for me.

Well, it was working fine in Yosemite until Mosaic was released. Even now with the small bi-daily patches, it's still freezing about 80% of the time.

Now on v13.04.879797

I don't think it's an API thing either as I have the browser freeze when opening on a Google bookmark.

As of earlier this week (I haven't checked today), I'm having this problem. I did put in a ticket, haven't heard anything back.

I hear that Yosemite 10.3.3 has some problems. Whether this is related to that I can't say. All I know is that currently the only practical solution is to not use the IGB.
