Short of sending a techie round to your gouse how can they fix your CTD's?
Clean up your operating system, consider a reformat. Make sure your fans are clean and your comp is well ventilated.
And finally, stop downloading from dodgy **** sites
If it was bad code it would be happening to a lot of people, its not happening to me and my friends.

LOL, I play many other games and dont CTD. I highly doubt a reformat and reinstall will fix something only one application is experiencing. I wish I can use that method though for my customers when they have issues with thier applications on thier servers..... Just reformat and reinstall!!! it should fix your issue!

... and anyway CCP has explained several times that their company works in departments
this means they will be fixing and making new patches at the same time __________________________________________

I run 3 accoutns on a single PC every day and have had perhaps 2 CTDs in a couple weeks.
You may want to make sure you graphics and sound card drivers are up to date.

every patch brings the game more off balance and adds more lag and CTD's

Still, loads of people are running the client without any ctd's at all. I'd say that gives some credit to the problem-is-at-your-end theory... Eve is demanding on your graphics card and it's memory and it's not at all unlikely problems manifest themselves first or only when playing EVE.

Yes, can we please get EVE build 0001 back !!!

CTD's are from memory, graphics card or internet connection issues.
The problem lies in your rhelm, if it was eve then they'd be about 50,000 threads like this.

EVE has crashed on me once in all the time I was playing. At the time I crashed I was killing an enemy Raven. When I logged back on he'd got away _________________

I just love it when good advice is greeted by "lol".
Is that really the extent of your vocab?

are you sure you're not confusing a CTD (Crash to desktop) with a disconnect?, which also boots you to desktop. ___

You think these fix software issues?

I haven't had a CTD in well a very long time. So again I'm gonna bet on something on your end causing this. EVE is very CPU intensive, and that might be why you only experience it when playing EVE. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

No but they do regulate heat, and EVE is very CPU intensive, which can cause your comp to overheat which would cause problems. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

Try disabling sound. It helped me back a month back or so when I kept CTDing mysteriously and swiftly.
Other than that, it sounds like overheating or bad memory to me. Most likely your graphics card is overheating, so try and build your own little fan-solution, putting an 80mm fan over the PCI-slot beneath the GPU. Overheating GPUs often result in visual artifacts (textures turning purple, polygons getting warped etc), sluggish and erradic slowdowns and temporary lockups, or even instant crashes to the desktop.
Poor memory often has symptoms like blue screens, strange crashes with error messages, crashes to desktops and VERY sluggish performance and long loading times.

It's an eve problem when going from full screen to windowed all the time in one sesson causes it to crash (Or changing res).

That's not a eve problem, that's your graphics card/drivers. Update em. ~{When evil and strange get together anything is possible}~ A tool is only useless when you don't know how to use it. - ActiveX The grass is always greener on the other side. - JoCool |

I think we can all accept there is lag... well in fleet battles anyway.
But bein a low sec guy I dont really see any lag ever :D yay for allmost empty systems
as for CTD's :/ never happend to me...

If your CPU overheats, you're going to suffer far worse than a crash to the desktop.

Not for me. Sometimes more lag, sure. More ctd's? Nope.

"If your CPU overheats, you're going to suffer far worse than a crash to the desktop."
Not necessarily. Depends on many factors including chip type and revision, motherboard type, etc.
I agree that he perhaps shouldn't post any more tech support tips though ;-)

If your CPU overheats, then yes, you're more likely to see a crash to BSOD, or your computer just turning itself off completely (fortunately modern BIOS and CPU thermal controls means complete meltdown is unlikely these days). Overheating graphics cards are another matter - ATI and NVidia seem to be getting a lot better at stopping a graphics card crash killing the entire system (VPU recover, etc). But they to still tend to kill whatever was trying to render at the time (i.e. Eve).
I have experienced just such a problem before - random CTD's in games (including, but not limited to eve). Only change made was to add an extra fan around the graphics card, and the problem went away. It's also a particular issue with eve, as, when sitting in a station, eve pushes my graphics card up to temperatures no other game manages to reach.
This is also a good time of year to be remining people of thermal issues anyway as (at least in the northern hemisphere) people may well be seeing their first hot weather of the year....dust-clogged fans and heatsinks that coped in the colder weather may not hold up as it gets warmer. A good spring-clean should always include the interior of your PC

Yep, eve is very CPU intensive, and not too happy if it doesn't get an adequate dose. The only time I've CTD'ed recently was when I had 2 clients up, and another CPU-intensive process going as well.
Anyway, addressing the original point:
Originally by: Snipergod87 Could u fix this problem before releasing the new patch?
Assuming it is an issue with the eve client, how do you expect them to fix it before releasing a new patch? It would need a new patch to fix the problem!
Besides, every patch has some optimisations and bug-fixes in it. Just because it contains some other stuff as well doesn't mean they're not fixing problems too.

IF it's just the GPU overheating though, wouldn't you see other weirdness before it cuts, like weird textures etc. Atleast I had that when my GPU fried, bad renders, missing/purle textures. But no CTD, just general lock up. That would fix if I manually killed EVE, but it wouldn't kill itself.

With the warm days coming, I experienced more CTD. I bet for my ATI Radeon switching off eve.
My fault, i ve a poor ventillation system.

Yep, that is the problem with things like overheating (or in fact any issue where complex electronics is operating outside spec) - you can never be sure quite what will happen. Something as simple as the chips being from different batches could change the exact behaviour when you take it outside spec.

Hurr hurr, thanks
In the reinstall guide should I start with "Make sure your computer is plugged in"??
Or do I assume the original poster has a modicum of common sense and not state the obvious.
Seems the heating issues are also a factor. Fancy that.
Go troll somewhere else.
