My EVE client is constantly freezing up. It is worse since the last patch. It can happen at any moment, while doing any activity. I can be in warp, coming out of a gate, in normal flight, chatting with friends, it doesn't matter. It is making the game unplayable.
I am using an iMac.
OSX 10.6.8
Processor: 3.2 GHz Intel Core i3
Memory: 4GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics: ATI Radeon HD 5670
I have cable access to the internet.
I played EVE on this same computer six months ago and never had these problems.
I completely reinstalled the client with no beneficial affect.
At first I thought it had to do with voice chat. I would get a message saying: You have been logged out of voice chat.
I disabled voice chat and the freeze-ups are still occurring.
Help!

I uploaded the latest system updates. I also turned down some of the graphics and installed some fan software (the computer felt pretty hot).
It seemed like the problem was fixed, but tonight I started experiencing the same freeze up problems again. I filed a petition. The computer thermostat read 48 degrees celsius when the game froze.
I play in full screen. I lose control of almost everything. The mouse still moves around and some windows will open up, but I can't do anything with them. The in-game internet browser still works.
I tried the Console thing you mentioned, but couldn't figure out how to "Filter on "OutputDebugStringA" ". |

I cleared my cache in the hope that it would help. This was mentioned on the "known issues" page of the EVE online site.
Now the game won't start at all. Sometimes it freezes on the character screen. Sometimes it freezes after I type my password and hit enter.
I can't get to my customer service ticket to report this problem because i can't get into the game at all.

Problem solved.
I upgraded my OS to Lion and now the game works perfectly.

Constant freezing now. Can't go more than two minutes without freezing up. It got worse after today's patch. |

Six months ago my Mac gave me no problems at all.
I took a break from EVE and returned a month ago. I've been plagued with problems since. Managed to play, but couldn't do everything I wanted to due to the risk of locking up.
Unplayable today. |

That's it. I'm done. I'll check back once a day to update my PI (if I can squeeze it in before freezing) and see if anything is fixed. I won't actually try to do any real gaming as it is futile. If it isn't fixed by the time my subscription runs out I'll just let it lapse. Damned shame, as it is a great game. |

This happened on my last freeze-up/disconnect. My ship did not enter warp. I was just sitting on the gate and did not warp as I reentered the game. |

Try this: remove the EVE Online folder from your library. You will lose all of your overview settings and game settings will revert to default, but the game plays properly for me for about an hour. After that something becomes corrupted and I have to do it again.
Does this happen to anyone else?
BTW, the Library is hidden in OSX Lion. If you open your Finder, press "option" as you click "Go" and the Library will appear. You can then find your EVE Online folder in Application Support. Just drag it to your desktop to see if it works for you as well.

I was unable to repeat the success of my experiment (temporarily playing freeze free by removing the EVE Online folder from my Library). My client constantly froze on my last attempt to play. I couldn't play more than two minutes without a freeze.
It froze:
1) When I undocked from a station
2) When I warped away from a gate
3) Accessing my hangar
4) In normal flight |
