Hey.

Using DX11, 9/10 times when I launch EVE from the launcher, the game loads and all, but screen goes right back to desktop. Every time I click or tab to the game screen, screen just semi-switches into the game and then right back out to desktop again.
When I switch to DX9, it works.

However, I run multiple clients and with running DX11, everything just runs better. Background sounds works all the time as opposed to with DX9 I have to tab into that specific client for the sounds and actions to update/execute. I dunno why but my mouse settings are also somewhat messed up when I run with DX9.

Point is, it's doable with DX9 but it woulda been very nice to be able to run it properly in DX11.

Asus Z87 Pro
i5 4670K
Corsair Vengeance Pro 2x4 GB
Sapphire Radeon 6850HD 1GB
Samsung 840 EVO SSD

Windows 8.1 Pro. All hardware has the latest drivers.

All my other games runs fine, this issue is only with EVE.

Any solutions?

Same thing here. Since today my EVE Client minimizes everytime I open it. Switching to DX9 and clearing the cache helps. But I would prefer to play in DX11, looks better. Perhaps a Dev could help here.
