I now appear to be suffering from this problem, although originally i wasn't.
I was suffering from random disco's in gaming without warning, i reinstalled the client several times and then stumbled across the advice of updating all my drivers and turning off hardware accelleration for the sound drivers.
I therefore did this and am getting the black screen after the splash screen. i have no issues with the cache folder because there is no cache folder as it is a completely clean install. my last resort is to revert to a previous version of my catalyst drivers ( i think someone suggested 7.8 earlier) |

It would appear that going back to catalyst drivers 7/8 has done the trick and i am now up and running again. |

Same here seems the problem is somewhere there and NOT with the client corruption stated before. UP and running me happy bunny again.

ok i dont know if its the same or not, i have a corp mate who when he trys to start the game it dont work.
this is whats going on:
hit the EVE icon,
processes jumps to show eve starting
nothing shows on screen ( not a black screen not even a splash, not even the bar on the taskbar),
computer "feels" as eve is running in the backgound,
he did install the new patch for the test server BUT,
he was able to log in and play after he was on the test server, and was on and off afterward.

Okej, issue got resolved by taking clasic Arial font and renaming it(or cloning it) to arialuni.ttf - Worked for me in Vistas 32bit Ultimate. I guess this is the problem.

As a follow up to my previous post, it appears that for owners of 'some' ATI AGP cards (notably the x1950pro) the problem rests with the drivers. I have done a fresh install of windows xp32sp2. The black screen still occurs with catalyst 7.10/7.9 and while eve will start with 7.8 there are some cards having issues with 2d performance (in that the cpu does all the work).
So while some agp cards work with 7.10 I recommend you roll back to catalyst 7.7 until amd/ati have addressed this.
Do a search of the ati forums for more information

Possible Fix for some,
I have an ATI AGP Radeon X1950 running in WinXPpro 32bit
The black screen started after I went from Catalyst 7.8 to 7.9
A further update to the QuakeWars hotfix also resulted in the black screen.
Removing 7.9 and reinstalling 7.8 fixed the issue.
Also of note is that;
all other games were fine.
there was no possible way to exit the black screen, task manager would stay in the back ground.
I had to reset the pc each time.
all other methods failed me.
Hope that helps.

i also have this problem. this is the first time installing eve on this hard drive so i know it has nothing to do with the cache cause there is nothing inside of it (i tried both "solutions" anyway) i also tried installing Microsoft office which didn't help either. I'm wondering if when all of you get the black box does your mouse cursor change to the EVE one when you move it over the box?

haha, whoever said to just install office FTW. that fixed my prob...i didnt want to install that software since with this box i will do everything but work...but i installed office 07 enterprise minus groove and plus visio, project, and whatever that new frontpage is called (i forget) all for good measure and it worked without a complete re-install of eve. when you google this problem you get a ton of results from linux users. so in conclusion...add 1 more tally to office fixing the problem.

I got this black screen last night and I've tried everything in this forum bar installing MS Office for the unicode.tff font. I haven't got MS Office and microsoft have disabled all arialuni.tff downloads from the internet. Do I have to go out and buy MS Office to play Eve now? It's at least a hundred quid. Nice one CCP. I only upgraded my trial account last week.

I have same issue on laptop with Vista Home Prem. I also have Office 2007 installed. I have not been able to find the font file arialuni.ttf for download. Does anyone have a link? Since I already have office, I should have this, unless you have to have office xp.

The Font you are looking for is Arialuni.ttf (Arial Unicode) which is found in all versions of Office.
Hope This helps as I don't use MS office I use open office, Maybe CCP should think about using a font that everyone will have and not one that requires you to go spend $99.99 USD at the official Distributor, or for MS Office to play a game.

Still unable to get past black login screen on vista. I guess I have to load Ubuntu in a virtual machine to get it to work. Can we get a patch or workaround?

Well, I was planning to buy this game, but after playing the trial and having one of my characters become unplayable after a single day, and rolling back my catalyst drivers is not a feasible option, I am left with no choice but to not buy this game. It's a shame because I really love this game, but if my characters randomly corrupt themselves and become unplayable...

Well, one of my characters has become 'corrupted' and unplayable in the span of a day and a half. None of the things mentioned in this thread had any effect. Guess I won't be subscribing, which is a shame, because this game is awesome, otherwise.
Character info is stored server-side, so anything you think you might have lost, hasn't been lost.
In fact, you could technically wipe EVE off your computer, reinstall it, and pretty much everything except your menu colors will be intact.

GOT IT !!!!
It was the missing arialuni.ttf. I downloaded it from the internet and installed, now its working.

Failed to start service fonts (bin\blue.dll)
Probably just a font file missing that is used in the launchpad??
One line above it tries to open "arialuni.ttf", i looked into windows/fonts but couldnt find the file there. This error occurs 3 times in the log.
http://img.eve-o.info/log1.jpg
edit: Shame on you CCP, i googled a bit about this Font. Its a Microsoft Office only Font, as im using OpenOffice and not Microsofts the font wasnt installed. Sorry to say, but using a file from another companys application and then not including it into the installer is a bit... curious ;)
Just want to confirm for everyone that this fixed the problem for me as well. Im on Vista 64 bit. I only had the problem of a black login screen after splash.
I had trouble finding it online though, so I had to get someone to send it to me. Would be great if someone included a download link for it here. Im not sure of the legality of it though... might go against forum rules when i think about it. You get it with office anyway. Can probably even get it through downloading a trial of office from Microsoft.com

Those of you looking for the font specified use the search string below to help "find" the file you need
arialuni.ttf intitle:"index.of" "parent directory" "size" "last modified" "description" (ttf) -inurl:(jsp|php|html|aspx|htm|cf|shtml) -site:.info
c/p that into google and you shouldn't have a problem finding it

Thumbs down CCP

Just to clarify for the people who don't know how to fix it.
First download this file.
Then go to start > control panel > fonts > file > install new font. Find the file you just downloaded and click ok. |

Big fail ccp, good to see you care about your customers by not replying despite the fact that lots of them still cannot log in. Good thing my account subscriptions are coming to an end...if I cannot log in when they expire, no point in renewing eh...

Upgrading your graphic card drivers make things worse. I got to character selection when I rolled back graphic card drivers, when usually my computer crashed to splash screen.
But the rolling back drivers show that somehow the problem is in the craphic card and its drivers? However this must be worst patch ever. Very bad programming and qa from ccp.
running xp sp2 and radeon 9600. Any more ideas guys? Tryed them all now. I'm not going to get all these lost hours back. sigh.

I fixed it. It was a sound card conflict. GO to device manager in system properties.In sound, video and game controllers i have a load of devices listed. i disabled them one at a time then restored them if they wernt the problem.5th time lucky, disableing 'Unimodem Half-Duplux Audio Device' stopped the blck screen after the splash screen. i can log on as normal
Good luck

I seem to get this intermittently, with no consistent cause that I can see. Sometimes one of my accounts works, sometimes the other, sometimes I can log in with both, sometimes neither. It's getting a bit aggravating and I wish CCP would make a statement at least they're doing something or looking into it etc..

I found a fix through some googling. Apparently it has to do with a bit of registry hack. Run registry editor
