Brand new install of Win7. Brand new install of Eve. (C:\games\eve) Brand new install of Eve Probe (C:\games\Eve Probe)
Ran eve till launcher screen reported ready. Closed Launcher.
Ran eve probe (both with and without admin. It just sits there saying running)
Figured DX is missing. So manually installed DX9 redistrib from MS website.
Re ran eve probe. Again just "running"
So in light of this, just what does Eve probe EXPECT to have on a machine.
Does it need an Eve install? Does it need DX9/VCCs etc. (and if so why doesnt it check/tell you to install them)
I'd like to benchmark my current and backup machine and indeed an old Dell 1525 (which amazingly will run eve enough to skill change. its about 6-8fps in station on low)
Would love to help make the client more stable and give you guys more data on where/what Eve is being ran on.
Current machine is a AMD 955 3.2ghz AM2+/3, 8gb ram, 120gb intel ssd + 6tb of storage space, ATI 4770 512mb

We have heard reports of it not starting up on fresh installs of Windows 8.1, but of course seems to work just fine we try this ourselves. One report we heard was resolved by installing the EVE client - maybe that's worth a try. Please let us know if that works for you - we're anxious to find out what dependencies we may be missing.
Seems a reboot made it work. Bit odd.
I'll be trying the Eve Probe on my backup machine and also on an old Dell Inspirion 1525 that i use to skill change on. I know the results will suck but its worth it for the data points.
I'm assuming btw that eve probe uses highres settings to benchmark with. Is it possible you can do a max run and a minimium run for lower spec machines in Eve Probe at all?
Maxed out for showing off is nice, but being able to run Probe to see if a machine can give reasonable framerates may help for ppl wanting to play eve on laptops or lower class machines.
:edit: i posted my results in the results thread btw.

Ok i've broken it :)
You may need to make some tweaks regarding trying the tool on lower spec hardware.
Dell Inspiron 1525. 2Gb Ram, Intel 1.73Ghz T2370 Dual Core Pentium, 160gb Sata laptop drive, Intel Mobile 965 Express GFX running 1200x800.
Eve Probe V.0.83.5175.0 Results
Scene1: N/A Loading bar but no scene Scene2: N/A Loading bar but no scene Scene3: N/A Loading bar but no scene Scene4: N/A Loading bar but no scene Scene5: N/A (it did load the tower build animation however) Scene6: 1 fps 99mb
Eve does run on this laptop however (6-8 FPS in station with everything on low.)
