I downloaded the latest patch and when I restarted I got this black screen issue some other people are having. Everything else seems to work fine. I have never run into an issue like this before.

Love this new bug... results in loads of confusing information in intel channels...

Drag name from local to a convo input box. While dragging to the input cross through the convo where a name has already been linked. If timing and drag path is correct you will prepend the linked name to what you are dragging.

Has to be the most fail bug I have every witnessed in a GUI.

I have been experiencing the freezing issue pretty constantly since Crucible.

Since the most recent update (1.2.1 #2) I can't actually log onto the game at all.

I start the game client, splash screen comes up, then departs and nothing happens apart from the system is very sluggish until I kill the client (Force Quit).

I clear the Application Support folder, try again, it allows me to log in, then I try to undock, freeze.
Clear the application support folder AGAIN, log in, select character and it freezes as soon as it displays the captains quarters.

My current setup is a

Mac book pro 15inch (2009) with 8 gig of ram.

I have 4 accounts, how can I freeze these accounts until this issue is resolved?

Not sure if it is a new thing, but it appears that the Mac Client has a memory leak-- i know shocker right?

Simply starting the Mac Client and loading the login screen will progressively take up all your available memory on initial load. While the client does initiate a release of the memory (as seen in a backtrace)-- the blocks still get stuck in the 'inactive' block in such a way that the system level memory manager cannot full release it back to free status.

Using `purge` from the xCode package (default installed in /usr/bin/purge) to manually release all inactive memory does clear the issue temporarily, but the issue returns sporadically, mostly on system changes like a gate or cyno jump and docking/undocking.


Problem only gets worse if running multiple clients-- booting multiple clients simultaneously usually results in hung up system and reboot.

edit:
you can use watch (macports/home brew) to clear it out every 60 seconds with
`watch -n60 /usr/bin/purge`

Just upgraded from 10.6.8 to 10.7.3. Some odd issues.
Been getting many DCs. Eve stops responding, even TS gets disconnected. I got to cycle power on the wireless router to get connectivity back. I don't think that's a client issue unless the client is doing something that messes with the router.

Minmatar stargates have green panels when viewed from some directions and distances.

Lava planets have bright yellow polar caps.

But no sudden crashes or lockups.

The mac client is STILL BROKEN!

In fact it seems to be getting more regularly broken patch after patch.

Last night I was doing some Ladar sites, and every 5 minutes or so one or other of my clients would FREEZE.

It also freezes every 20 minutes or so when running a single client.

Updated my client to Crucible 1.2 today.
Everything was going well for the first hour or so, and then I got a black screen, with only the cursor visible.

At the time, I was scanning in a wormhole and chatting in corp chat. When the black screen kicked in I tried various things to get the UI back, but nothing worked.

I then force quit Eve and restarted it, only to still get a black screen. It seems like the UI was there underneath the black screen because the cursor was changing as I moved it about the screen (Note, the cursor is the ONLY thing I can see on the screen).

Am am running a 27 inch 2011 iMac with a 3.1GHz i5 processor, 4 Gb 1333MHz DDR3 ram and AMD Radeon HD 6970M 2048 MB graphics card running Mac OS X 10.7.2. My Eve client runs full screen at 2560x1440, with most settings turned up to medium or high, and CQ turned off.


I do have a cloned copy of the Eve client, which I loaded up and worked ok. Note, that copy is running in windowed mode. I did not try switching it to full-screen for fear of losing that too.


I removed my original Eve client, re-downloaded a fresh copy and installed it, only to get the same probelm. Total black screen, except the cursor, however I could see the cursor changing as I moved it around, for example over the Terms and Conditions box should be the cursor changed to what it would normally change to over that box.

Please help.
Many Thanks.


As per this issue .. I switched the media settings from windowed to fullscreen in order to enjoy a full evening of widescreen PvP .. and exactly as documented above.

Random freezes, char pics still not loading, crashes, severe lag after jumping through gates. When the launcher starts the game- random crashes (Black screen)
I run in full screen mode if that helps any.
doubt it will as I am convinced that there's 1, maybe 2 ccp people at the absolute most working on macs.
