IGÇÖm a noob on a trial account thus I canGÇÖt post to the forums so if people could test this and spread the word if it works that would be great. I am running the following: MacBook Pro 15-inch, Mid 2009 Processor 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo Memory 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 256 MB Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63) I was reading about how to tinker with Mac graphic cards and it seemed like one of the few things you could do without really knowing your programming stuff is: under energy saver preferences, under graphics, you can select for better battery life or higher performance. Now when I first opened these settings my graphics were set for better battery life. When I changed the setting to higher performance I was forced to log out of my OSX session. When I logged back in and opened the Eve Client (directly, not through the Eve Launcher) my I was able to log in and select a character and play without issue. I have restarted both the eve client and my computer multiple times and can now still log in 100% of the time. I havenGÇÖt done much other than fly around, dock and undock for a few minutes but everything seems to be completely fine. Thanks for your time. I love the game and plan on becoming part of the community when I can afford it. Best, Parslurium That choice that you've found in the energy saver preference effectively switches your laptop between two different graphics cards, a low-power 'built-in' card, and a dedicated graphics card. Clearly your on-board graphics card was affected by the bug, but the dedicated card was not. I'm glad to hear that you've fixed your issue, but it's a solution that is limited only to those with your model of computer (or possibly other MacBooks). However, all MacBooks with that option really ought to be playing with the "Better Performance" option anyway. Ideally Eve would be able to detect the onboard card and warn you (not going to happen anytime soon!). Uh, wow. Ingrid is right. I had the same "issue" with the longer battery life versus better performance. Look, I think that Mavericks defaults to better battery life. I had no idea that this option had been selected. As you, now when I changed my settings to "better performance" all is well. So, I think that everyone should just check your graphics energy saver preferences (perhaps even if you are not running Mavericks, which some of you are not). I can't believe I went for this many days stumped by a bug on my internal graphics card when I didn't know that was what was going on. Good grief. Yeesh...I'm likewise seemingly fixed by that one small setting change. Kinda feel like a horse's rear end right now...
didnt work for me, but at least now my other games work better. guess I'll have to wait for the next patch
