Since you are also running soundblaster liver 5.1 cards, what version are you using?
The last update i had was that live drive update from 2003, i've not seen anything more current for the cards. Though i find it interesting, i physically removed the card from the machine, then re-installed windows, so theres no drivers for either that or the onboard mobo sound, wich ive disabled in bios to try to further rule out, Im not sure what else, if anything can be done to keep it from tripping over that audio dependencies line, especially when the comp right next to me has the same card and drivers and works like a champ.
Actually, this helped a lot. My driver remains the version from 7/19/2002. The drivers I got from the CD that came with the sound card did not even install. I found these drivers from somewhere on the web. I tried the LiveDrvUni-Pack and it didn't seem to update the drivers. I tried LiveDrvPack_Patch next and it still didn't update. Any ideas why I can't update the drivers or how I can (I got the 2 updates from Creative web site)? If all else fails, I guess I blow another $30 on another sound card.
Yeah, that LiveDrvUni-Pack is the last one i had, and iirc its not so much a driver patch in the update sense as a funcionality thing. there was a bug before that patch that broke surround sound in windows, so you had to run that to get the back speakers going, and it added some stuff to that mixing tool, but thats all it did as im aware.
The LiveDrVPack_Patch does not update my drivers. In fact, it causes the sound to stop working (and don't show the driver as updated). Therefore, I uninstall the drivers, restart, let Windows find some driver (not Creative's), reboot, installl LiveDrvUni-Pack, reboot, and I can get back to the 2002 Creative drivers. You say you have 2003 drivers from the LiveDrvUni-Pack? I tried downloading a WebPatch.exe which supposedly has the 2003 drivers, but it says that it cannot detect any Sound Blaster audio devices.

THANK YOU CCP! </end sarcasm>
Would you like to still tell my that the issue is with my audio drivers? I bought a new sound card (Diamond Xtreme Sound 5.1) and guess what? Exact same symptoms, exact same problem. Any more bright ideas?

Originally by: Leeroy Aletheia I actually fixed the startup problem on my computer. Here's what worked for me:
What RB Nathanian wrote made me take a look at my own clusterName in the prefs.ini file, which was; clusterName=AndrT-PC@AndrT-PC. I figured that maybe he was on to something, but instead of changing the name in the prefs.ini file i went ahead and change the name of my computer to ANDREPC (leaving out the *T* and *-* signs that might be causing problems), and now the game runs fine! restarted the game 3 times and no problems so far. =)
Hope this helps some people.
Yes I also rename my pc without + and - and everything works now

I filed a bug report.
http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=585921
Maybe if enough people file, they'll realize that it's a problem with their software and they'll put a fix in the next patch.

Exactly the same problem here - been playing a bit today (reactivated my account after quite a while), then closed eve and later tried to start it again, but only the splashscreen pops up, then nothing (automatically closes). Running it on WinXP.

Originally by: RB Nathanian Hi i solved the "won't start" Problem for me:
in prefs.ini i had
clusterName=***n**@**n**
after i turned it into :
clusterName=***ue**@**ue**
it worked !
seems +,-,_ and other letters not according to english language could cause problems.
solved it the same way at a friends system. Worked also if this lines are deleted.

Deleting: boot.ini I mean prefs.ini seems to be the only work around for now... If only there were people that worked at CCP that did stuff like computer programming or something.
And for Budda, Allah, Jesus, Confucious, The Dali Llama, Jewish God, and all the other spiritual supreme being's sake... can you get rid of the phukun 5 minute timer already?!?!?!?!!?!?!? ---- a reply which adds nothing to a thread or results in a thread being bumped with no new discussion worthy content is considered spam and as such warrants a forum ban |

Install eve on a virtual machine.
If using VMWare (this is the one I would suggest): 1. Follow these instructions to launch a WMWare image with windows installed. 2. Install Eve on the Virtual machine 3. Tell us if it runs.
This will be a several hour process and other better tutorials might exist. You can probably get a pre-configured virtual machine off a torrent from any number of torrent sites, but you can't always trust those.
I would really like to know if this works or y'all. I have used this trick to get some other apps to work when there were hardware conflicts in the past but it does not always work. I have also used eve as a benchmark of sorts for testing the performance of a remote VM at work and it performed well (about a year ago).

I'm getting the same situation... I guess. I get the splash and then black screen and then it crashes.
I don't know if sound works or not, going to try it tonight.
This is the last line from the LogServer: 7022009.12.11 06:14:30:666Timeslice warning order 5, 4939ms in tasklet: entering 'Trinity::_WndProc' from '<NO CONTEXT>^<bound method Login.LoadScene of <blue.BlueWrapper object at (snip)>>'
And the MS Crash I get says it dies in _trinity.dll
I've tried a few of the things including changing prefs.ini and it made less error ands crap before it got here but it still dies here.

I too have filed a bug reprot on the _audio.dll crash problem. Got back a "gee that is an old soundcard" and a request for a /minidump. Did that.
Wife is a bit old to but food hasn't changed much that she can no longer cook. Same for sound and soundcards I'd say.... |

Edited by: Yenala Ryon on 15/12/2009 22:19:12 Tried VMWare installation, its not working in there. The Logserver is looking a bit different tho, but im no expert in reading that... (still ending with the starting dependencies for audio, which are: [] line)

I'm at the same point. With my old Soundblaster card they said it's old drivers. I bought a new Diamond sound card, they asked for the minidump and I've been waiting quite a while for their response. Looks like they ran out of excuses.

I don't know anything about a sound card causing trouble, but if I even thinking about changing the shader settings seems to cause my client to crash in the same way that has been described before. I really hope that CCP can get this sorted quickly, it is getting ridiculous...

Still waiting. I think Monday will be 3 full weeks of not being able to log in. What's my incentive to keep playing when my problem is not even being acknowledged?

I know. I bought a new video card in the last expansion because they wanted to get rid of classic client. I bought a new sound card for this expansion to try to fix the issue. Maybe I'll buy a whole new computer and cross my fingers and hope that I can play. No thanks. I'll buy a new computer for my own reasons when I want to, not for this game.

I had the same problem of a blackscreen after splashscreen... no hints in this thread worked for me.
...but I finally figured out what my problem was: somehow my DirectDraw and Direct3D Acceleration in the DXDIALOG had been disabled, I really dont know how this happend but after manually enabling those options everything works perfect
You can check the status of your Hardware-Accelleration by typing "dxdiag" in the run-prompt of your windows and search for those options, its in the 3rd tab^^

Can anyone recommend some freeware for me that can tell if any of my devices are using old drivers? I went to Device Manager and clicked every device and did Update Drivers. I went to the company website for at least my audio drivers. I also found an update for my audio driver through Windows update.
