Tried the beta drivers, tried the resource cache fix. Still get a lovely hard lock upon hitting F10 for that lovely starmap. I already submitted my info to AMD...I really hope they come out with some sort of a fix. I'd hate to think I wasted $500 on a 7970 only to find out that it just doesen't play well with my I7 920.
Anyways, not like I've been doing much except skill training this last year anyways, but it'd sure be nice to be able play if I did want to! |

@Teh Minez0r
I was aware of this attempted fix and it does not work for my machine. I am one of the 7970 users and I have the unfortunately i7 920 CPU/socket combination.
For me...the easiest way to check to see if the issue is resolved is to open the star map. At BEST I've had about 5 seconds before my machine completely locks up and requires a hard reboot. Matter of fact I was theory crafting about not having sufficient power on my own, but the mentioned solution, to set "put computer to sleep: Never" does not work.
I'm still in a 'wait and see' mode to see if the newer set of drivers will address the issue. Honestly I'd just like to see AMD acknowledge that there is a serious issue, CCP already has and they're doing what they can on their side to see it addressed as well.
For the hell of it I've enabled Graphics OVerdrive in the catalyst CC and bumped the power control settings to 10% to see if that makes a difference. I'll edit the post to see if I get to reboot in a bit. |

yeah maybe its intels chipset drivers fault no idea, certainly its not CCPs fault. Though I'm wondering how the drivers work with earlier cards but not with the 7k series... I'd understand it if the 7k driver was only for this series, but it's for all from 5k series on. Doesn't make sense in my eyes.
FYI, my current rig, I had a pair of very dated 4xxx in a crossfire setup before I upgraded to the 7970 earlier this year. This same rig played nicely with eve...so I'm thinking it's something in the software/coding for the next (current?) gen cards. Still a damn shame though. And I've no intention of going back to those dated cards. Gotta play ps2 with all the pretties turned on after all. |

I just tried the 12.11 beta drivers linked a couple posts up, ran a reboot, launched Eve, hit F10, and right after the map loaded, BAM, another hardlock.
So no love for my own system. I'm starting to wonder if there's maybe something wrong with my rig that is causing issues above and beyond the obvious?
Is there anything in the game folder related to the star map that could be corrupted? Would blowing out the eve install and starting from scratch do anything? I had initally thought my HD was bad so I purchased a new SSD to try that theory out....same problem immediate system freeze.
I've already submitted the issue to AMD as a Dev suggested way up thread, Has AMD confirmed that they are working on the issue at all?
On a side note, I'm reluctant to throw away a 105+ Million skillpoint character...but I'm seriously considering just walking away and saving myself a bill when I can't enjoy the game. Not raging against CCP or anything, just stating a frustrating fact. |

@ Digital & Kraillach. I was running in full screen, but that's due to only running one client. Good news! I launched Eve in windowed mode and the client DOESN"T HARD LOCK MY SYSTEM when I launch the star map! Halleulejah!
Also, I actually got a reply back from CCP on my bug report, they said it can't be duplicated?! The fact that I've duplicated the issue every time I've launched the client in Fullscreen kinda negates that.
That being said, this is acually a useful data point.
Hopefully it can help resolve the overarching issue, as for me personally, playing in windowed mode is a bandaid, not an actual fix.
Cheers all, and I'll update when I hear more on drivers or if I have another hard lock! |

Not to nitpick, but I installed beta drivers on Oct 24, and I had the same issue. However, yesterday I d/l the Retribution client and today I'm logged in and on the starmap, have been for a few minutes now....perhaps the Retribution client release addressed the issue? Regardless, I'm quite happy the issue seems to be resolved, even if I have canceled my account. :)
Cheers all and happy hunting! |
