I get a green flickering screen in the startup and ingame . after a new fresh instal of windows and eve minimal drivers instald only directx 9 and graphics card drivers .

There is no problem when i run eve.exe (Safe Mode)

I have tried the Nvidia 314.22-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-whql drivers and the 320.00-desktop-win8-win7-winvista-64bit-international-beta drivers. No better results same problem.

I have set in the nvidia control pannel / Manage 3D settings Vertical sync on Adapive That makes the flickering go away but stil there is the green screen.

I tried one time to repair eve and that helpt but then the graphics is wherrry low and after changing graphics back to high the problem comes back.

I have a Geforce GTX 690 Graphics card and windows 7 64 bits sevice pack 1

Please advice

Hey Gaming god.

This problem just came up for me recently. Same thing with the Shader Quality setting. Medium and low is fine, high I get the green and red screen.

When you say you role back your drivers, are youy using an AMD or Nvidia card/drivers?

UPDATE:

So I managed to fix it on my end as well using the same method you did Gaming God.

I just want to mention that I currently use the GeForce Experience to manged my nvidia drivers for my GTX 670. I usually have the option in the settings to download beta drivers. Well, in order to roll back to the official drivers, I unchecked that option in the settings of the GeForce Experience window and went to nvidia's site to download the latest official release. I chose a cutsom install and checked the option for a clean installation.

Now everything works great. Just wanted to post my experience with the issue.

Same thing here, shader at medium works fine, in high most things gets a green tint., but no flicker.

I just updated to the latest official drivers 320.18, but I guess I'll have to rollback Cry

GeForce 680.

I had the same thing going when I switched to GTX 680 recently with latest official drivers.

Fixed with turning down shaders. not a big problem, but it sucks having to find out what it was.

only thing I need to figure out now is why I were running eve client on 1300 fps at max setting, then it suddenly went down to 60 after rebooting the client.

Thanks for sharing, gents--shader quality to medium fixed it for me, and I honestly would not have thought of that.

Hello,

I also have a gtx680 card with nvida 320.18 drivers (latest at the time of writing this). My screen is also green with a redish tint, turning down shader quality from high to medium fixed it, thank you for the solution.

I hope nvidia fix the problem soon.

Hmmm, trying to resolve a "hardware" issue by pointing the finger at the drivers??? Waiting for Nvidia to resolve the issue isn't going to happen. There is a reason it hasn't been resolved through driver updates, it's not the driver that's causing the corruption. Despite Nvidia suggesting they are working hard to overcome the issue, read between the lines ffs. Remove your gfx card, ensure the Peripheral Component Interconnect Express(PCIe) lane is clean and free of dust, as well as the actual gfx card(use Isopropyl Alcohol to clean components and a little compressed air) then re-seat, paying particular attention to the SLI bridge if your running SLI.

Voilà

No applause necessary Cool Just logical eh Mr Spock .

If it was infact a driver issue we'd all be plagued by it wouldn't we???

If I'm wrong, flame me, if I'm right all donations appreciated Big smile
