Hey everyone, I got a deal on a travel laptop that is pretty low end but still more than enough to get 60fps in Eve.

I am running a i5-4210U with a Nvidia820M on Win8.1
Edit: Just realized I was on Nvidia 332.11 drivers, which are a bit older. I am going to try updating to the newest 347.xx set now.

I have a very similar home laptop for my family that runs eve fine, but it is a full size not a travel.

On this travel laptop I can play eve great in full screen. But if I switch over to window mode or fixed window the screen starts flickering and flashing with lots of tears across the screen. Alt+Enter gets me back to full screen, and stops the issue.

Anyone know what the issue is between Nvidia mobility drivers and Eve?

Update: 347.x drivers solved the issue with the graphics. I can now use Windowed mode.

However if I undock from a station I am getting the socket closed every time after about 60 seconds. Only seems to be happening undocked. Also notice my network connection goes limited as well, but If I do not start eve on a fresh restart, the connection is stable for other games and browsing. Interesting.
