Eve crashes to desktop all the time on my system. None of my other games do this, and I maintain my PC pretty well, so I doubt I have system issues. On the other hand, I don't see a lot of people complaining about this, so I'm open to suggestions :P
I know it's in the known issues, and I know I should submit a bug report (I sent in 6 the other day with the dxdiags and crash dumps and all the other stuff that sounded like it might be helpful).
My questions are:
- How many other people are staggering along trying to play a game that crashes every few minutes sometimes?
- Does anyone have any suggestions for making Eve work better for those of us that do have frequent crashes to desktop?
- Is this something that is actively being looked into/fixed? (If so, should I keep sending more crash dumps? :P )
Thanks for any input. It's tough when you get addicted to a game that doesn't really work :P

YES FINALLY!!!
Dude, you're not alone, ever since "Dragon" came along, I've been having the same issues, but here's the thing, it first happened on my bedroom computer. So later I installed it on the Family computer, and its worked fine for a couple day. But now, its doing the same thing on the Family computer. Its as if there was a virus in the code or something, I don't know, nothing makes sense, I thought it might've been my graphics card; but it has nothing to do with it coz I have a ATI Radeon 9550 on the family computer, its thats pretty good, but its doing it on here too so I dont know

Yea, it's pretty frustrating. All I wish is that I actually knew what the problem is; and of course that they fix it. I don't wanna stop playing this game already, it's too fun, and I've only been playing for close to a month. You go to open something up, or you type something in chat and then hit ENTER, and then CRASH!

Something that used to happen to me with ATI vid cards was that the VPU recovery system in the drivers used to make different games crash. You can disable this and try it that way. (hopefully this helps some of you). Once I disabled this I never crashed in any of the games.

We would think that with a full time staff of game devs and 3 years to make a game run smooth, things like this wouldn't happen as often. :( Sad, sad, sad.

I have been fighting this battle for weeks on my new Dell laptop. It has a Centrino Duo Core, 2gb Ram, 80GB sata, 7900go, etc. This thing runs every game I have flawlessly and just about all at max settings without breaking a sweat but I am lucky to get Eve to run more than 20 minutes at a time. Submitted all the bug reports but that does nothing because this has been a known problems for months and not a single update from CCP. I have tried everything; clean load, different drivers, minimal install w/16 processes running, etc. and nothing helps. Now add to that the daily server crashes and my Eve universe sucks. I really hate to think how bad things will be when Kali is released. It will be months before the game is playable.

I have a brand new Dell XPS M1710 duo core, I have the same problem and get a CTD every 4-6 jumps or undockings.
My 4yo desktop (2.4ghz P4, 128meg Radeon 9500 Pro) plays the game perfectly, my Dell D610 (1.4ghz single-core, 1gig ram, crappy standard video card) plays the game perfectly, but my 1 month old XPS cant?
From what I've seen on the forum, players with similar problems on dual-core or dual-processor computers report it works much better once you you set up a boot option with only one CPU active. So much for buying a top of the line gaming laptop only to disable half the CPU power to play a game.

Dunno if this will help, but is there any way that you can set the app affinity to only one of the cores? I remember that people with hyerthreading CPUs resolved some errors by setting the program to use only one logical CPU, so maybe setting for only one physical core would help, too? Just a thought... |

FWIW, it isn't uncommon to have issues when blending 'old' apps with 'new' technology or even 'new' apps with 'old' technology. Anyone that's spent any decent amount of time with computers can give testimonials of the "upgrade blues" when things didn't work correctly if at all.
The only good news is that usually fixes like turning off 1 cpu core are only needed temporarily until the offending app gets upgraded and you're running a 'new' app on 'new' technology.

I'm having an issue similar to this as well. However i am not crashing to desktop, my computer is rebooting.
I'm fairly new, i started just before this " dragon " patch and had not experienced it then, but now i've had it happen several times.
P4 2.8 Intel
ATI 9550 video card latest drivers
DX 9.c
WinXP current updates etc.

Yeah, to me I feel something's "screwy" with dragon...
Usually before, my comp ran EVE just plain fine, stable fps of atleast 40 or more and didn't eat much of the cpu, like 70ish percent.
Now, I get unstable 25-32 and it runs at 91-100% cpu.

Still no official reply on the issue ?
I really like EVE, i have a great time playing it ; But the Hardbooting is really starting to scramble stuff up.
Could anyone DEV, hopefully, have any tips or perhaps a thought as to a way to prevent it, or perhaps what a fix might be ?

I'm also having crash problems. My system is pretty new (slightly over 1 year) and has ran eve fine before, along with all the other games I play. I admit I use wireless and occasionally that's the cause of the issues, but recently (last 1-2 weeks) despite high connection and high signal strength, it crashes to desktop every 5 mins at its worst (about 6 at its best  ). I'm soon gonna get my comps wired, and if the crashing persists (which it no doubt will) it'll be obvious were the fault lies.

I have been using this to force EVE to run on one core only and it seems to help alot.Also get the AMD Duo core optimizer. I have included links to both
SMP Seesaw
AMD Duo Core optimizer
Oh just for kicks:
AMD Opteron 165 Duo-core
ATI X1900
2G G.Skill PC4000
Good Luck :)

I hadn't heard of the logserver, so I did a search for it (Linky linky).
Sounds useful, and I will start running this when I play. The next hurdle will apparently be to find someone interested in looking at the crashlogs :p
(In regards to all the above multiprocessor/multicore stuff, I have a single core Athlon 64, and the game is nasty crashy for me.)

I accidentally uninstalled eve instead of evemon (lost all my settings ./wrist )
aaanyway... since then i have been getting Connection lost pretty much constantly.
I installed it from a new installer so i didn't have to install all the patches again, so i am quite tempted to fall back to an old one and install the patches individually and see if that helps :/

Blearg! This CTD thing is really really really annoying. I can literally play for about 30 sec to 5 min before it crashes. Basically if there's about a 50% chance if ANYTHING happens, it will crash: lock on to something, something appears in the horizon, warp, etc....
System Specs:
Desktop:
Athlon 2400+
1gb DDR
GeForce TI 4800 SE
Windows XP Pro
Laptop:
Sempron 3000+
512mb DD
ATI Mobile... something
Windows XP Pro
I did notice the less busy the server is, the less likely this is too happen (at 10k users, I was actually fine, but at 24k users, I literally can not play). The one other thing that seems to help..... is to have your map on..... maybe something to do with not having to process any graphics. I seem to be able to navigate (autopiloting) and do most activities that require you to not interact with anything in space. Basically combat, and mining are out of the question (well... still possible, but still pretty crashy and very very hard when you can't really move....). The map technique seems to cut it down to a tolerable crash every 15-45 minutes.... which isn't great... but is playable.... ish.....

I am curious as to why you never see a response in any of these threads regarding this problem from anyone working for CCP. They confirmed this was a known problem back in June and it is a sticky at the top of this forum but not one word since. I am on my desktop right now and it runs Eve flawlessly for the most part but my new laptop setting right next to me CTD's constantly. Actually CTD'd twice while typing this. A simple update that they have some ideas or are at least still working on the problem would be a great customer service move after three months.

I had this problem too. (P4, nVidia graphics, in a multimedia type desk top). Logged the crashes, sent the logs in faithfully, they would not admit the problem was theirs. Took me a very long time to solve, but here is what worked for me:
Eve graphics is very inefficient, it raises the temperature of the GPU significantly. Burned out two good video cards before I got a solution. High temperatures makes the system unstable, if you are 'lucky' you get the same symptoms, more than likely, they seem inconsistent. Other high end graphic simulations and games work even if features are cranked up. Used a number of active coolers, but once I got the GPU to stay below 50C/140F the game stopped crashing. It has been 2 months and not one crash, compared to a crash every 5 to 30 minutes. I have not noticed a rise in temp with the last patch (4557).
Sorry, this wont help much with the lap tops. A simple, inexpensive test, is to try to drop the ambient temperature 10 or 15 degrees, if the system seems to stablilize, let the temperature rise. If the frequency of crashes increases with the temperature, odds are good the GPU is running too hot and loses integrity, and automatic error recovery (retries etc.) just makes the problem worse.
P.S. Final solution was an active air cooler from Zalman for just under US$40. (Probably much cooler in Iceland, but haven't been there, so I what do I know?)

Alexis, I have no problems with eve i could run 3 clients at once download stuff and not lag.
And then i uninstalled it and reinstalled it by accident and now i get CTD's constantly, i am not willing to admit that it is miraculously my problem.
I logged 4 crashes with logserver and sent them off to CCP, hope it help some.

I suppose it is valid to point out that any game needs a working system to run on.
Not all hardware is the same. However, there's an expectation that if you mass market software, you'll have software that works on almost everyone's systems, as long as it has well-supported and well-maintained hardware, and has current software to back it up.
I have those things. All my other games, many of which are a *lot* more demanding than little old Eve, work fine. I don't have thermal problems or the games that really do push my GPU or CPU or memory bus would exhibit problems of *some* kind.
Anyway, I'm pleased to hear that you have no problems, and I'm not shocked to hear that you've located another 12 people who have no problems, but this thread is about people who *do* have problems.
Choosing a discussion about problems of some sort and posting "Mine works, if yours doesn't you must be stupid" is of course a time-honored internet tradition , and far be it from me to deny you the pleasure of flaming random people for no reason, but maybe you could go do it somewhere other than the tech support boards. Thanks :P

Ever since this last patch (Dragon) I have had problems with Eve being very "sluggish".
When I load up Eve my entire system slows down, my sound card starts to studder sometimes, and everything I do is very, very slow.
I never had any problems before the Dragon patch.
AMD 2500+
1 Gig or RAM
NVidia GForce 5200 (with Cooling Fan)
LOTS of Harddrive space! Over 100 gig free.
I run windows 2000 Pro SP4
I'll note that I tried it with Windows XP Pro SP2 and had less problems with Eve. However since windows XP pro SP2 gave me more problems (thanks to it's security features and active desktop.. a long story) with everything else the Windows 2k I have recently downgraded back to 2k and figure it was just a waste of $10 to buy XP from my school.
I wish I could get XP SP1, see how that handles with Eve & the rest of my system.
At any rate, other's are having problems in XP... and something is definately not right about this new patch, that wasn't a problem in the patch before. At least for me and the others in this thread.

Doesn't help.
I run XP Pro SP1 on this rig, I was away for the summer and started playing eve on 2 other comps, this one just plays for a short random period of time and then the video stops working.
Like completely, the light on the monitor starts blinking and I can't tab out or anything but reboot from the tower itself.

someone(not me) should keep a list of all the crash bugs and what they mean, that way when a player has a problem, they can look for it in the list, if its not there post it, and as much info as possible. I'm pretty sure the Devs would have something like this any way, but knowing what causes a problem to occur would be a good way of avioding that situation in the future.

true i agree but would be a bit of a undertaking given the amount of possible crash errors, runtime errors, BSOD' dump logs etc regardng video drivers, audio drivers, etc. but regardless this would be useful to say the least. how bout this how bout we set up a thread named "CRASH/DUMPLOG NAME LIST" as we get them, someone or some group gets togethers and gives definitions to the list and possible solutions in a secondary thread called "CRASH/DUMPLOG DEFINITION LIST". whatcha think??

I totally give up I crashed every 30 seconds to 5minutes. I am sure when I go back my ship will be gone. It is they eve program. It freezes up then crashes. I have a high end computer so it aint me and I play very intense graphic games or it ain;t the card. I send them my specs like they requested. I am new to the game on the trial so my question to people is why would I play a game that wants to make me scream in frustation being so buggy?
I hope they fix the problem

i feel ya pain man this has got to be the worst for me. i also crash like 30 seconds or so, hell i half the time crash to desktop before i can even go into the game. its really frustrating, make u wonder why you are spending $15 on a game that doesnt even run or at least run properly. i have never had problems til now, i used to be able to run this game with no issue, no crashes no nothing, i could play allnight with not a single crash. but now, its every 5-30 seconds. we can hope CCP is prompt with a solution.

today, i crached (or frozen) 2 times. Never had probs with eve (ok, second half year of eve 2003 i had a lot of craches, but i could live with it :) ). Now it craches really bad, mostly in big battles but also in bussy systems.
never had problems like this till today after the new patch.
it's not fun in battle with a 300mill ship watching a frozen screen (waited 5 mins, then i relogged, came back and fight was over :( ), lucky i was not killed :)

They are asking lots of questions but suggesting it is either our systems or our hookups. I have cable so my hook up is pretty good. They are also suggesting that it is individual problems rather than an overall fix. Methinks they do not get the message at all.
I crashed 173 times in one go as I counted. I lost my ship. who is going to make that up to me. No one. bummer.
I wish they would say "ooops, we don't know" I am almost 100 per it is their server and the patch interacting. I dont' think the freeze is a freeze but a lack of response from server sending hence no input in battles or busy systems.
I guess it is my fault likethey are suggesting.

switching to windows 98/me compatibility under my eve.exe properties seems to worka bit. crashing alot less. and actually to some degree stable.

I just wanted to add my input, as I'm having this same problem, only much more severe. (My client causes my GPU to crash within seconds after going from character selection to the game.)
I'm starting to believe the problem is completely related to the graphics card. Like about twenty other people who have posted about this problem, I have an ATI Mobility graphics card.
In my case, the graphics card works perfectly for character selection and for the introduction movie. But once my ship is drawn in dock, and especially if my ship is drawn with acceleration trails, my GPU will crash. I will either get ATI's GPU Recover message, a blue screen of death, or a hard crash with a black screen and looping audio.
In contrast, my other PC (with comperable processor, ram, and an NVIDIA card) is rock-solid.
As a PC tech, I have tried many, many different versions of drivers, from ATI to Omega. I've tried different graphics modes in the OS and in the game, and I've tried working with ATI tech support to fix the problem. And of course I have tried reinstalling XP (service pack 2) and directx 9.0c. I've even tested my card for defects by punishing it with benchmark utilities. Only Eve Online can make this thing crash.
Has anyone ever had any luck talking with CCP about this issue?

Doesn't help.
I run XP Pro SP1 on this rig, I was away for the summer and started playing eve on 2 other comps, this one just plays for a short random period of time and then the video stops working.
Like completely, the light on the monitor starts blinking and I can't tab out or anything but reboot from the tower itself.
Glad to see that I am not the only one... *SIGH---

Thought I'd post an update :p
I made another round to make sure all my drivers were current, made sure my windows updates were current, and did a good check for thermal issues.
I've been running the logserver and sending in at at least a couple crash reports every day. (I'll probably be the first player to be banned for spamming the dev team with bug submissions, since I log all my crashes and sometimes send 5-6 at once  )
Also, having read this thread and a lot of other posts on this forum, I noticed that a lot of the people who are complaining are using ATI and a lot of the people who aren't complaining are using NVIDIA. I know that's a million miles from a scientific or technical conclusion, but decided to grasp at the straws of hope and ordered a NVIDIA card just for the sake of trying it out. I'll post again once I get it.

I'm experiencing something simular... I experience a CTD whenever I do alot of jumps or moving things from one container to another and my client exits stating that:
"a malformed or damaged packet was received from your client"
this is the ONLY thing that has caused my client to exit the game. I have zero issues with graphics or sound.

I have been having the same crashes, it happens when i jump/undock mostly
In my first reply i included crashes, dx diag, ping ploter , etc
CCP replys it was my isp (i have fiber so that was out + i provided ping ploter resualts)and i need to run ping ploted
so i sent a reply pointing out i gave ALL the info they needed the first time.
so then my sound card is the issue, a sound blaster x-fi is crashing eve .... right.
I disable it and sound was disabled in eve any way. It's still freaking crashing.
I even reinstalled windows made sure to not install the SDK version of Direct X, installed only the latest drivers and it still crashes.
at this point i have nothing running in the background, have the sound card disabled and i cant expect to fly 5-6 systems with out 1-2 CTD's
my system isas follows;
amd64 x2 4200
nvida 7800gt
2gb ram
dfi nf4 mb
x-fi sound card(disabled cause it alledgidly BBQ's eve)

Same Issues, CTD (compiling bug report right now).
AMD 2200+
ATI 9200, latest catalyst drivers
512MB RAM
Creative Live! soundcard
Been getting crashes starting with the first main patch, and since downloading the latest update (yesterday) I have CTD'd constantly. Always CTD if attempting to run programs outside eve (e.g. Firefox), which was no problem before the patch, and also CTD if ingame situation becomes too harried for my CPU (example, market lags and I attempt to click something while lagged will CTD, as will warping into a deadspace with too many baddies or a dust cloud or somesuch). Of course, using an indy and jumping system-to-system also causes crashes.
I am currently experimenting with no sound and also lowering the priority of my exefile.exe so it doesn't load up the CPU so much, but current experiments have yielded nothing but CTD's.

For those of you with ATI graphics cards who are experiencing crashes, have a look at my post entitled [solution] Crashes, blue screens, freezes, and GPU recover with Macbook Pro. It's intended mostly for Macbook Pro users, but should be applicable to PC users as well. I'm interested to see results from others on this topic, regardless of hardware.

I also get the crash to desktop thing and its making me nuts. I get it a 3-4 times a night and have tried all new drivers and still get the crash.
It usually crashes from some user event... clicking an agent, opening the map, etc.
I dont have issues with other games.
AMD 64 3800+ X2
eVga nvidia 7900 GT KO
1GB DDR2 667 Supertalent 2x512
ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe (on-board audio)
Has anyone figured out how to get this to stop happening? Has anyone heard from support after sending in a bug report?
Thanks-

i read Velvok's thread and tried the underclocking, and it seemed to work
(however, my r1600pro agp runs at 500mhz gpu and 405mhz ram, so i adjusted it to somewhat 470mhz gpu and 370mhz ram).
performance was well, but i didn't like the idea of even underclocking my hardware, so i tried the following:
in the right bottom area of atitool, theres a Settings Button *click*
choose Fan Control in your Drop Down Menu, and choose to override the speeds.
i just ran the fan at 100% speed over the weekend, and had no CTD's/reboots/hangups so far yet. i played with my headset on, so the fan noise didnt disturb me. i will try lower values this week.
before i overrid the fan speed, i had gpu peak temperatures of 64¦C and crashes, with fan at full speed about 52¦C and no crashes. 64¦ isn't that high to cause the radeon to crash generally, but maybe producing enough errors to take down the eve client.
can someone of you (radeon)guys test it please?

Well im new to this and am using the 14 day trial, so far its taken me three attempts to get through the tutorial as after 5mins my system not only crashes but it does it wihtout rebooting so it is turned off. I have Geforce 6600GT, 1gb RAM, XP SP2, AMD XP 3200. I dont get it, i can run games like BF2 fine, but this is acting like my PSU cant take it.
