I have found a permanent resolution to this issue and I figured I'd share. Please read the symptoms below and hopefully this helps someone else out. My problem was that I was running on a Windows Domain at work, and then taking the laptop home (disconnected from the domain). Because of our domain settings, Eve was unable to access its required cache settings while at home. This caused the client to crash.

There are two solutions:

1. Log on locally.
2. Fire up the VPN.

I personally use the VPN since I'm working a lot anyway. There is no noticeable lag with our setup, YMMV.

Cheers,

I had created a topic on this some months ago, but had not had a chance to get back into it until now. I thought I would give the game/drivers a chance to work themselves out. That didn't solve the issue. So here we are:

Upon a fresh install of Eve, the game will run until the laptop is restarted, put to sleep, or shut down. When the machine comes back up, the game will not run.

I start the eve launcher, but when I hit play the game does not start. No window, no sound, nothing. All that shows is exefile*32 in the task manager.

I have cleared the cache for both the launcher and Eve.

I have run the repair tool. It does not work.

A fresh install will make the game run, as described above, until the computer is restarted, slept or shut down.

Here is a copy of the log file created when the game crashes out. I have copied the error section. Sorry for the Imgur link, the forums are giving me grief because they think the log file is HTML.

Edit: I have been successful in getting the game to run by trnsplanting the Eve cache from my desktop machine to my laptop. They are both Win7x64 and use the same install path. I have also been able to restart the machine and the game started normally. I will report back if this is a permanent solution.


Thanks,
