Hello people,

As a lot of you I was also having serious issues with my Mac Client for the past year where it would randomly hang to the point that the game became unplayable. That is until I found this fix after googling around for a bit.

1. - Launch the EVE launcher.
2. - Log in and launch the game as usual
3. - Command + Tab out of the client if running full screen and right click on EVE dock icon and navigate to Show in Finder
4. - Right click the EVE application and select Get info
5. - Check the "Prevent App Nap" checkbox
6. - Quit game and relaunch
7. - Repeat for all relevant clients (Sisi, Duality)

Done. That has fixed it for me and haven't had a single hang since. Before I was unable to close any Eve client without all other clients hanging. If the game hangs again make sure to check if the checkbox is still checked.

Now I will not take credit for this find, I saw this trick in this video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUAdyPJtSZo.

If any of you know this fellow, pat him on the back as this finally fixed my game.
