Issues, Workarounds & Localization

o7 all,

i have a problem and i hope here is someone who can help me out.

i have a Geforce 750 and i got the problem that the graphics driver is often crashing which usually results in a crash of the whole pc and i have to force restart via power button. it was no problem for eve for a long time because there was the option in the graphics menu "hdr enabled". i had it unchecked and never ever got a crash, no matter what graphics setting nor how many clients i run. now this setting got removed a few updates ago and the crashes are back. technically i can reduce the possibility of those crashes by just tuning down the graphics and downclock the graphics card via msi afterburner. but first off i want to play eve in better graphics and second i don´t want to experience those crashes anymore due to obvious reasons.

does anybody of you have a solution for me?

Nobody knows a solution?

Might be hardware like Jonas stated. I've been using a GTX660 for three years now up until early December 2016 and had no drive crash issues. My card was starting to artifact and screen tear in Eve by that point though. Check your temps (not just for graphics card), too, especially if your whole system is locking up. It's one thing if Eve ctds because of it, what ever it is, but if you're having to force restart your whole rig due to a particular graphics setting in a game on more than one occasion, then that sounds suspiciously like something's getting too hot. It could also suggest RAM getting overloaded but I doubt that since Eve isn't nearly as much a RAM hog as other game titles get to be.

******* forum ate my post, *sigh*...



I keep my drivers up to date due to me having hope NVidia fixes this problem with a driver update, current version is 376.33 the most actual one. The card might be older but it was built in into the pc when i bought it around one and a half year ago. If i would have realized it earlier i would have gone to customer support but i didn´t realize it after around 2 months after i bought the pc and started to play with higher settings (and thus checking the HDR enabled setting) and at that time i also didn´t play any other games. Also i do not really want to buy another graphics card as it is unneccessary for me.



I am kind of sure it is a driver problem. On very rare occasion not the whole rig goes black but i see a message in the taskbar "NVidia graphics driver had to be restarted due to it crashing" (or whatever, translated from german). Also a lot of other people are experiencing problems with this particular card and all report the same thing. I am using MSI Afterburner since long time to downclock the card which comes overclocked from the factory. Starting temp was 75° max and now more then a year without cleaning the fan i only hit 85° max. Acceptable temperature. The 8GB ram stick i rarley see on 100%.

I think i will try in the next days to plug in the old 640 to see if i have any problems with it...

Well the card comes overclocked from the factory, that´s all i know. No clue how to downclock it at all and a google search didn´t bring the desired results. Can you point me in any direction with helpful information please?

And please don´t tell me I am complaining because going to the forum and asking for help is literally the last step i took except ripping the 750 out and putting the older 640 into the pc. I am using MSI Afterburner to downclock the graphics card permanently by about 10% of Core Clock and Memory Clock (which helps a bit as i pointed out earlier) and i spent several hours (meanwhile even days i think) reading through forums about people complaining about the same thing with this particular card. Tried a ton of stuff including settings in registry, NVidia driver and whatnot...

I run a pair of Nvidia GeForce GTX 690s in SLI config and, although this isn't your card at all, I'll tell you of a problem I had.

From time to time, while playing EVE - no other game, the screen would just go black (usually at a crucial moment, the way it always is). Sometimes, I could still hear audio, sometimes not, but nothing I did would recover the picture.

After a while, the screen would go black and the PC would cut out very suddenly. This would be followed by an automatic reboot, or silence. I could, however re-start the PC (and EVE) if I left the machine off for a while. Of course, I assumed that overheating per se was the problem. I was wrong, although perhaps not altogether so.

Long story short, the card was gradually becoming unseated because of vibration, losing contact with its er contacts. I hoovered the inside of the cab (plastic nozzle pls) and reseated the card. Perfect. I now make that operation part of my regular maintenance schedule and have not had the problem since doing so.

This may not solve your issues, which others seem to have picked up on, but I'm just putting it out there. It saved me from going and buying a new card.

I get issues with Asus Strix 1060 as well. Have a brand new rig with WIn 10 and 6700K i7.
WIth everything on high settings and no anti aliasing:

• All Ships and objects disappear completely when appearing in new system at times.
• The transition effects between systems sometimes don't show.
• Music routinely decides to not function but voice over effects remain.

I might try dropping the quality and see if it makes a difference.

How should i send you an ingame bugreport if the computer completely freezes? Are logs of previous sessions sent with those reports? And if not is there a way i can identify such logs and send them to you?
