EVE Search - Black Screened

We have not had any luck in reproing this, but we have a patch going out tomorrow where we have at least an attempted fix.

I've gone through all changes to the graphics engine that went out in the patch that seems to have triggered the black screen on character select, and we're basically reverting those changes when running on a Mac. We're grasping at straws here, but I feel we have to try something.

Sorry, something went wrong in prepping the patch, it will be delayed until tomorrow. I'm hoping to get the build out on a test server today so we can at least see if the code change helps - check back later for details.

Oh Snooooorlax, I've got a present! ( If it actually contains anything useful! ) I've managed to get apitrace's of the crash (5 times over to be sure). So I've got every GL call EVE makes up until boom.

They all end the same way (well, you'd expect them to):

Now these are huge - the replayable traces are about a gig, and the text dumps about 100 megs. Hopefully, replaying the dump with apitrace will trigger the bug again. Instant repo. Not tried that yet, was assuming my only test case was about to get patched out of existance!

You'll need to get me an email address, or better, some space on a server I can upload them to if you want them.
