Anyone else getting pc reboots when you're fired on, or fire upon something?
I can repeat it every time.

yup, the same with me,
Same thing happens every time, At the first shot an angel thug fires at me, my pc reboots.
Have tried to reinstall EVE, no difference.
Have not experienced any problems untill the 1105 patch. :-(

Same for a member of my corp, seems for him its 250mm cannons, other weapons seem to work ok. Was hoping to find some info here for him, still at least i can tell him he is not alone.

Yup, i am the above person Nova is talking about. All of my weapons work fine except 250mm cannons, their not active/active light does not show up when i equip them and when i fire them the game crashes immediately or after 1-2 rounds, this proceeds to restart my computer and list a device failure. I reinstalled my drivers (3.5 catalyst) and i am using a P4 3.16 ghz, MAYA GIGABYTE RADEON 9000 PRO (128 mb), Windows XP, and 512 mb ram. I already sent in a bug report as well.

For me its the drones, any drone any where around up to about 50Km starts shooting and my pc reboots. I think its the sound other people with the same video are not having a problem. I have intergrated AC97 audio.
I am going to go and get an audio card and try that. In the morning.

I got the same problem and I distinguished it to the sound. They changed the sound to a real artillery boum and not a machine gun anymore, and everytime someone or me fires that kind of boum it makes boum here at home :)
Glad I am not alone and to bad for us.
I use as well an AC97 inboard soundcard and new drivers?????? well....
Guns that doesn't work are: 250mm, 280mm, Carbine 280mm others I don't have, now I have to go hunting with beams and a 200mm - just hope that I won't encounter NPC who are using the above cannon.
Can we manually change the sound file for that, or can we turn off completly the sound? Turning down the sound doesn't work.
As well I get under the splash screen an error, which I have to click i.o. EVE will start: Title Bar: "Digidesign DSI", Text: "Could not load at proper address"
Maybe there is a conection???
Maybe someone got a new driver for the AC97 card???? Help is much apreciated.
Cheers M8s, hang in there

I also have the Avance AC97 Audio card. My 280mm howitzer works fine, I just found out that i crash as well from drones fighting near me. As posted above the problem seems to be with the sound card/drivers.

Same problem for me too with onboard sound an AC 97 also so far ive lost 2 ships and a lot of decent equipment to this bug. Any chance we can have it fixed as a priority as Eve's unplayable without it being fixed.

Time is running out.
Over 24 hours this bug has been out, and reconfirmed but many. Am I being unreasonable not wanting to pay for a game I cannot experience to the fullest?
Free month is almost up and with it, me...

Well, I confirmed that if you turn off the audio in prefs.ini file by setting audio=0 everything works just fine.
This morning I found a solution, you go to local computer store, plunk down $49(us) get a SBLive card and my problem went away.
I tried all sorts of drivers, I don't recommend you waste your time, as none had any effect at all. There is something wrong in the audio code maybe a divide by Zero, I think, as the AC97 is embeded in a motherboard critical componet, when it crashes it takes your system down.
My system is a Compaq Presario 6000, I not saying this how you should have to fix your problems. But I did wanted to share that this did fix it for me, if you want to go that route. I see it did not fix it for Hue Jorgon so no garuantees.
So I am moving on to the next problem, how to get my lab slots back.
Good luck all.

A new hint from the MS-Knowledge Base:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;311152
"SYMPTOMS
When you run the Microsoft DirectX Diagnostic tool (Dxdiag.exe) sound test on a computer that has a VIA AC'97 Audio Controller (Windows Driver Model), the test may not run properly, and you may receive the following informational message:
Your Sound Card does not support hardware buffering. Sound will only playback from software buffers.
CAUSE
The VIA AC'97 Audio Controller driver does not support a 22050 audio sampling rate, which is required for the Dxdiag.exe sound test.
STATUS
This behavior is by design. "
Well maybe they sampled certain sounds with 22050?
Devs are u listening?
For the hint from Gantell - havn't tried that out, but thanks for the info about the pref.ini
Cheers

Just to let you know, I'm having no problems with AC'97. The driver I am using was downloaded from the website of my motherboard manufacturer, so if you have a MSI motherboard, take a look here:

Same deal here...
As gantell pointed out to me it was likely my soundcard.
Everytime i fired my 250mm scout or my 720mm howy the game when poof. I also had this sometimes when a person spawned and the poof sounds was generated...all in all my soundcard seems to have problems with poofsounds...
Im gonna try shutting down the sounds before i get a new card though and when that helps il get myself an offboard model..maybe il get another SB live =p.
I'm gonna see if i can get more info on how the AC97 chip is embeded. I personally have an ASUS A7V333 mobo...
The latest patch seems to have new sounds to the weapons i think this is the reason why crashes didnt happen prior to patching.
Thx a bunch for everyone that helped me figure this out!!

It's time for Eris to get a clue. CCP should make a statement about this.
It's the exact same things as what Zombie did, you may not attack in "safe-areas" (empire/within sentry range) without loosing your ship.

I have the same problem.
Been tresting it since the patch. It is sound related and have traced it to projectile weps. I have been tring diffrent weapon types and the lasers seem to have no affect nor do the small blasters.
Anything larger than a 150MM autocannon drops the game faster than a dress on prom night.
I have not had this problem with any other game or until the new sounds with this path.

Can confirm that
AC`97 soundcard, ASUS A7V333X mobo
Game crashes 100% within 10 seconds of someone firing a 250mm light artillery proto, or on similar sounds.
It also takes windows with it, so most probably u'll only see your machine rebooting. (I managed to get a BSOD telling me, there was a hardware failure blah-blah, and reboot - the usual xp sh*t)
Will try the soundcard drivers, to see how they fix the issue.

Good news, the link someone mentioned above:
http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/dlac97-2.aspx?lineid=5&famid=12&series=8&Software=True
Solved the problem. If you have the same weird crashes, give it a try.

Well I installed this driver and Windows liked it. It loaded everything connected with it, like perfect, volume, record player everything, not sign in the device browser, but the sound is not coming out :( and the game works now - without sound. Any1 got any idea? Normally when u install a driver and there is a fault, windows tells you.

I'm having the same problem as well, I only noticed it last night.. Cost me 2 Harvester Mining Drones :((
I have an ABit AT7-MAX2 Mobo, which also uses the AC97 Onboard Soundcard. I'll DL and install the drivers from the link posted above and get back to you all with my results.

Hi Guys
We are looking into this, problem is this seems to happen only with these intergrated sound cards and then usually if you have old drivers. Drivers for these sound cards are generally found on the computer manufacturer site or the motherboard manufacturer site.
We're trying to reproduce this here so any information about your computer would be of help. We know it's the AC97 card but anything to narrow it down more would be great.

yes I have the same problem :(
I also have the ac97 onboard sound, and same thing with the drones, soon as a drone fires upon a pirate, my pc resets itself.
well! on the bright side it looks like its being resolved! woohoo!
I have a gigabyte ga-7va card, it happened in beta a lot, then when the game got launched ive never had this since the patch before last.

I was helping a dev today on the chaos server and I fired many guns - many guns in order to distinguish which guns, well and now they are looking into this issue.
Thanks CCP for listening.
