Hello!

Something really strange happened to me while in game. I was just traveling through nullsec, and as soon as I entered a lowsec system the game crashed. When I logged back in, the game would run for about 5 seconds and then freeze. After about 10 tries I managed to get myself back into nullsec, and then the crashing stopped.

I tried running the repair tool as well as restarting my PC. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this?

Sounds like a resource in one of those systems could be an issue. It might be worth try a shared cache vertification (from the new launcher, press the "E" top right of the new launcher, "shared cache" and click the verify button). This will go through and check all of the resources for corruption and remove any excess.

Failing that, you might need to do some more fault finding with loglite ("E" > settings > start clients with logging, "E" > loglite and then start the client.) and other tools.

Same issue here in highsec.
Everything was fine until I left the station and warped to a stargate. The game freezes within 5 seconds after each restart.
Cache vertification found no corrupt files. Last time I started the game, everything was fine, after the current update the game is not usable.

EVE LogLite is not very helpful:
warning 2016-03-12T21:03:10 8964 D:/Spiele/EVE/Launcher/evelauncher.exe evelauncher default Process 8004 crashed

As if I didn't notice it myself.
