Hello,

Today when i came home from work, my Windows automatically updated with Creators update and i then updated AMD Crimson drivers. And after that i have a problem with the EVE client. I'm playing all my games in fixed window, i'm used to alt+tab to win alot. But after few alt+tabs, or minutes EVE freezes. I can still hear sound from youtube, spotify or whatever program i'm using, but i can't do a thing until i hard reboot my pc. I can't even open task manager, ctrl+alt+del does nothing at all too. It pisses me off.

Does anyone else experiencing such issue, or know what to do in my case? I don't have backup point created and i already rerolled to previous AMD driver version.

Can't say this is a definitive solution, and I've been fortunate thus far to have held off on the Creators update until I see how the deployment is going, but I've heard that the new "Game mode" in Windows 10 may be causing some issues, and that disabling it, assuming it's still possible to do so, may resolve those issues.

Just a thought. Hope it helps.

Having the exact same issue, I can alt tab a few times but after a while, it will lock up it the only option is to do a hard restart on my PC. I am also experiencing frequent crashes but it might be unrelated. I have an Nvidia GPU and am running in borderless window mode.

Same issue here.

Atl+Tab works fine unless i tab to something java heavy. Like Fuzzworks website or PYFA.
Only alt+tabbing to youtube does not freeze my computer.

I do run win10 64-bit with an nvidia card.

I found that i can reroll back that creators update, so i rerolled back to previous windows version, but still the same problem....

Only one option left, factory reset...

I reinstalled EVE and deleted the "/*WindowsUserNameHere*/AppData/Local/CCP" file which was over 1GB in size and it seems to have fixed the issue. Make sure to back up the "settings_Default" folder located in "/*WindowsUserNameHere*/AppData/Local/CCP/EVE/e_program_files_(x86)_eve_sharedcache_tq_tranquility" as this contains all your in-game settings. You might want to try doing this before reinstalling EVE. Best of luck.

I don't have folder like that on my disk. There is no AppData in my User folder.

for me ( Nvidia GPU), it helps to reinstall the driver, after this i go to the launcher and in Settings, Shared Cache, i Verify my client ... now it works fine for me.

Hey,

had the same issue. For me doing this fixed it:

right click the eve.exe
go to compatibility
check "deactivate fullscreenoptimization"


Actual option names migth have been suspect to creative translation.

Playing for an hour atm, alt+tabing like crazy. Seems like this worked for me. But we'll see.

Edit: OK, it didn't worked. Got freeze again.

I've switched to windowed mode as apposed to fullscreen windowed and it seems to have worked for now. Will update if I crash again.
