Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Happened to me again last night (on Tranquility), and it was during a ship explosion (mine lol). But previous cases I was not involved in any explosions of which I am aware. No crash dump was made this time but I updated the bug report in anycase. In my case it is not reproducible in a way I am able to determine, but I will turn on loglite from now on to try and capture what is happening.

PS open bug report from 5/22/17 is EBR-121228

EDIT: This might be a different bug with the same symptoms, as the exefile crash with explosions is one I can reproduce, and work around by turning off the explosion effect. I suspect there is some deeper underlying issue.

The answer to that would be a Ticket to Support to get reimbursed. ;)




I have yet to have this happen to me but I want to try to figure out what exactly is causing it.
Could you guys add a screenshot of your graphic settings so I can determine if there is a correlation between the bug and the settings.

Thanks

EDIT:
So I've found that the client is refferring to the "e:\" drive quite often.
Seems like CCP is using Jenkins (a Java app to automate stuff like building, testing and deploying software) which is installed in said "E:\" drive.
My best guess is that somewhere deep inside the code it somehow wants to load sprites or code from said e: drive and, in failing to do so, crashes your client.

LogLite might actually show what it is trying to load from there.
Would be interesting to see what happens when you create a new drive (E:\ obviously) and place a file in the exact location that EVE is trying to access.
Step 2 would be to put a python script there to see if the client will try to run it inside the game.
I dont think there is any vulnerability here but would probably be fun to play around with .

Here is the error that I managed to force out of the Client a few days ago that lists said "E:\" drive:

10:59:13    client::General    error            {
10:59:13    client::General    error                "id": 3952,

10:59:13    client::General    error            },

I had to modify that code a tiny bit or otherwise the forum wouldnt let me post it as it thought i was using html tags.

As I mentioned above, disabling ship explosions fixed it for me. Your milage may vary.

Its a two-screen set up.

I have since disabled explosions: just searching low sec for someone who wants to blow me up - its harder than it sounds...

Thanks for your help - I still haven't heard from CCP.
