So game worked fine yesterday, downloaded the new patch. And now on the load up screen its just black. I am pretty sure the install worked because I left it downloading when i got into the shower and I came back and it had launched eve but the screen was black.

Funny, today's patch loads the splash screen then goes straight to all white for me. On both of my EVE clients.
Once again leaves me asking.
Does CCP EVE test this stuff on the MAC, or do you just fire them up when once we submit bugs?

My screen also goes black when I try to open eve post patch. Is this anything to do with the changes to config files I made to improve frps after downloading apocrypha?

If you changed the config file before the patch, try trashing it, it worked for me. I got an exception after the patch, trashing the config file fixed it.

Do u mean deleting the config file completely or reversing the changes I made a couple of weeks ago?

Basicly i think the test der Software, but in time where money is spare.
The solution is : "It matures by the Costumer"
But to defence of CCP they are not alone whit this slogan. sadly....
And hey my client crashes after patching into a black screen and running the Logtool from Cinder creat a kernel panic.

Trashing config file worked. Only problem is that frps dropped back to 11-20 from previous 90+. Aaarrrgghh!!!!

deleted config file, but now I get lots of little white star looking things. I can click stuff if I go to the corner I see quit text pop up. Tried reapplying the edits to the config file but it puts me back where I was. One thing I noticed is it has shaders 3.0? I dont know if this is what im thinking but I thought they were using shaders 2.0?

Look at the fps sticky and change the 2 things there, frame rate is back to where it was.

If fbobackbuffer is still Y then no I don't, sorry. Putting fbo to N makes my screen black. Make sure it's set to Y.

Same here, deleted the config file, but still my screen goes all white.
Was reading in the patch notes that Mac use pretty much need to be on OS 10.5. While I've had very little issues with 10.4.
I'd be interested to know if anybody else is on 10.4 or if this problem happened on 10.5?

^^ This. After going through the fps-boost changes, my FBO was set to N on my MacBook Air, leading to a black screen. Setting FBO to Y made it all work again, and that was the only change that was needed for me. ——— “If you're not willing to fight for what you have in =v=… you don't deserve it, and you will lose it.” — Karath Piki |

It was using shaders 3.0 last week because i run two clients and so can see the config file on the 2nd client which i haven't yet patched.
but then, the patch worked fine for me. i just deleted my modified config file and re-launched the app and it was fine. just applying the recommended config edits now to see if they still work.

I too had the the black screen of death when I applied the latest patch. As others have pointed out I believe it is because I modified the Config file. Deleting the file solved this problem for me. However my fps has dropped once again.

A new version of Cider (2317) was distributed with this patch. My guess is that the problems stem from that.
A bit of quick testing with disabling VBO is not coming up with any issues, so I'm thinking it's safe to re-apply the config changes on this version. However if someone can do some testing and it's not, I have a copy of Cider 2289; if something was definitely broken, I can upload that and people can manually revert to the older version. ---- FREE Explorer Lead Megalomanic EVE Null-Sec Player Influence Map http://dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Veritefw/FWinf |

Did some tweeking last night and found that if I wiped my EVE app and preference folder clean, then reinstalled (no changes in config file) it worked just fine.
Now the minute I changed the shader or graphics quality...BAM! White screen for me (Black screen I'm guessing for others).
I was able to run a version of EVE with the config file set to display in a stand alone window by changing the [sldv] setting, but once I do anything to help teh graphic performance, via the in game settings. Once again BAM!, white screen for AX.
So if you need to get a skill change in or market order, I'd give the wipe clean, don't change settings approach a try. I'd also save your old preference files somewhere, as I know have 500 bookmarked pilots I need to rearrange by folder.

I'm on 10.4.11 and I also get the white screen right after the initial apocrypha picture. Sound is present, so I can tell that it's running because I can here myself logging in, etc., but it stays white. Before the patch it randomly turned black in game in response to docking/undocking/warping/etc., and I was also getting allot of hallucinogenic effects involving large planes of color, psychedelic candy striped space stations and the like. Sometimes it was enough to 'minimize' but most of the time I had to quit and restart. After the patch it's all white all the time.

That cider thing might have potential, but how would one install just that part of the client?

Yes I'm on 10.4.11 and I get the same white screen. I was playing on Wednesday with NO PROBLEMS, CCP decided there were problems and now I have problems, Does that make sense. Also in all the threads about this latest patch I can't seem to find any reply never mind an answer from CCP. THIS IS COSTING ME MONEY

Why do you expect an answer from the devs about something that is not supported?
By definition "not supported" means they will not support you.
We already have very few answers to things that are supposedly supported, I'd actually be upset if they were to spend time for things that are NOT officially supported.

I'm sorry what is not supported? The MAC client on OS 10.4 or hacking the MAC client?
Because this issue will happen in a non hacked client, once you update the in game graphic content settings.

10.4.
Apple doesn't do driver updates for 10.4 any more, and there are some nasty driver bugs in it. 10.5.6 is the only OS supported. ---- FREE Explorer Lead Megalomanic EVE Null-Sec Player Influence Map http://dl1.eve-files.com/media/corp/Veritefw/FWinf |

What Mac are you behind with what video card inside? It's a bit tough to "troubleshoot" without knowing at the least those 2 additional items.
