Tried installing EvE on my potato laptop (Asus N55SF). Seeing the 'Download on Demand' was hurting performance I opted out of it and allowed a 7gb patch to do it's thing in the launcher. However after this I cannot load space... Station environments works just fine, but space is just total darkness. (note issue started first after I checked the box in launcher for Downloading everything)

So far tried Repair Tool, Deleting Cache, Rebooting computer, Reinstalling EvE. Nothing seem to do the trick. What do?

Noticed that EvE is using the integrated graphics and not the card from nvidia... but there is no option to use the nvidia gt555m in game and I've already chosen the nvidia card for being used in "NVIDIA control panel".

Also adding to stuff I've tried - reinstalling graphics drivers.

Solved it, the uninstall never removed "C:\ProgramData\CCP\EVE" so I did another reinstall removing this manually and now I can finally see again.
