Yup confirming that totaly random things that I couldn't even start to have a clue to reproduce knocked me to the desktop three times last night. Eve has never crashed on me at any other time as long as I have been playing the game. Diconnects and other annoying internets problems yes but ctd nevah. 
OMGEMORAGE!!! CCP FIX NAO OR I QUIT!!!1111

If the EVE client itself were to blame for such crashes, it would affect everybody, which would pretty much flood these forums with whining. (Justified whining is still whining  )
Actually thats not quite true. It could be many many factors like certain hardware combinations that ccp never had a chance to test the code out on that are triggering random crashing. I'm going to go out on a limb and predict its something sound related with realtek and soundbalster close to the epicenter as before this patch I always ran without sound and now have it on all the time. As far as my system I keep it meticulously up to date with drivers and security updates and make sure its malware or virus free so that is not going to be an issues unless its a buggy new driver which is actually pretty common.

Seeing as most hardware runs it without problems, I would assume the code is fine, but that the hardware (driver) failing to execute it is defective.
Or it could be a combination of both. Hardware makers tend to have close ties to game developers and will work with them to add fixes to drivers or help the devs to iron out some issues in thier own code. This is why you get driver updates from the card makers so often. Case in point was supreme commander due to the way ati cards handled shaders and the games own grahics code. A new buggy(yay ati!) driver release triggered the faulty code and then both companys plugged it up. Result was an even prettier and better performing supreme commander than before the bug manifested itself.

Well considering the impecibly clean nature of my comp and the fact the crashes started on the last patch and never happened before then it seems there might be a misplaced decimal or other such mistake in the code of what is turning out to the be biggest and moast complex expansion to date for eve or any other mmo tbh. But eh now that I think about it it seems tied to the fitting sceen being open when changing ships or messing with the autofitting option. It will get squashed. |

Now that my mind has cleared of last nights alcohol haze I seem to remember a standard windows info window with something along the lines of visual basic error = 20 or somesuch.
