Black screen after login

Issues, Workarounds & Localization General Issues
1

Power went out at my house and upon rebooting and trying to login the new player intro video played through and then the client went to black screen. The client is also now full screen instead of windowed. Now when I try to log in any of my accounts it shows the “Logging In, done processing bulk data” message for a moment and the loading wheel at the bottom is there but the client doesn’t progress to the character selection page.

I’ve deleted the shared cache folder and let the launcher re-download all the shared cache files. Any tips?

2

Just to make sure: you tried the repair tool in the launcher to check for corrupted files?

3

This… every time I’ve had this happen it was due to corrupt files.

4

I have the same problem and the repair tool didnt help

5

I have the same problem. EVE was working fine, now I have black screen just like you.
Reinstalled the EVE, still black.
How did you solve your problem?

6

Same problem here. I change the clent’s setting to run with directx9 and reinstall, didnt work. By the way, where is the repair tool? Didnt see an executable with that description.

7

I have exactly the same problem after a crash. I have removed and reinstalled the client but it is still an issue. Has anyone had any success in fixing it?

8

I’m having the same problem. I’ve tried everything even setting the compatibility mode to different versions and made sure all of my drivers were up to date. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.
here is a list of the errors and warnings for loglite.

This works for me:

1- Uninstall eve
2- Delete the principal folder of EvE (In my case C:/EVE)
3- Delete ALL eve related folders (Remember copy your folder settings). Here you have the list:
-Documents\EVE (Save your pictures, logs, if you want)
-C:\Users[YourUser].EVE
-C:\Users[YourUser]\AppData\Local\CCP
Impportant Note:
In this folder C:\Users\ [YourUser] \AppData\Local\CCP\EVE\c_eve_sharedcache_tq_tranquility you have your personal settings (profile) for eve online, save the folder with name like settings_[ProfileName] (In my case settings_Tranquility) before delete anything. If you dont save it, you need to reconfigure all your accounts.

4- Reinstall Eve Online and launch the game (Remember, you start the game like the fist time)
5- Add your accounts
6- Exit Eve and reinstall your profile in the same folder (See before)
7- Start Eve Online and load your old profile

This workaround works for me under windows 10 pro 64 bits

Hope this help.

Same problem here, black screen (other than UI elements like menus and chat which are fine) after downtime earlier.

For me, searching contracts or press Esc and then closing the main menu when it appears clears the problem.

Clearing the cache did nothing and verifying the integrity of my files returned 0 corrupt files found.

CCP broke something it seems!

Windows 7, GTX 1060 (EVGA), i5 7600k here. Any commonality with what you lot are running?

11

same issue. Station environment failed to load. In space could see all bracket info but no GI or mouse movement. Loading map and unloading it brought things back, but i hear jumping through gates borks it again.

12

Same here. I changed the graphics settings to optimize for performance, and everything came back on as normal. Don’t know how long it’ll last, but we’ll see.

I also cleared cache with no luck.

13

I tried a fresh Eve install today, didn’t resolve the problem. Only happens on initial login (before I press Esc to clear it) and every gate jump thereafter. I can also clear the issue by changing from fullscreen windowed to fullscreen, but the issue reappears after the next login (at which point switching back clears it again!).

What hardware are you lot on? I’m using:

Windows 7 Ultimate 64
Gigabyte Z270 mobo
i5 7600k @ 4.7ghz
Noctua NH D14
EVGA GTX 1060
8gb RAM

Nvidia drivers 22.21.13.8233

14

Fixed it! Disabling Anti-Aliasing has made the problem permanently disappear! Woohoo

I’m also running a 1060, 7 64bit pro, 8gb ram with an i7 2500k. Gpu drivers from November maybe.

Got a similiar issue here.

Getting black screens after random session changes, as in UI still works but the 3D render fails somehow. Fixed by changing session, i e forcing a new enviroment by dock/undock or opening the ship tree.

This issue appeared just a few days back.

So, I started having a similar issue this week. Game launcher will load, Character screen will load, but when I select a specific character. The game will start to load go into a black screen, and then eventually I will get a disconnect pop-up message. The weird thing about this is, I can log into the other characters on this account with out any issue. Anyone have any suggestions?

Disabling Anti-aliasing worked for me too. Haven’t tried switching back to see if issue was resolved. Gpu driver update did nothing.

Hiya’ll,

i have the same issue.

  • starting steam launcher
  • starting eve launcher via steam
  • logging into my eve account
  • then the display goes black for a few seconds
  • it then displays displays few messages such as: “logging in”, “authenticating” and “done processing bulk data” while in the lower left corner a moving “loading” sign is shown
  • after the last message disappears the @loading@ sign freezes and the screen remains black
  • the mouse works fine and i can exit using the shift+alt+q shortcut at any point after this and it works properly

so far I have (without success):

  • rebooted
  • cleared all cache
  • used the repair tool
  • cleaned out any junk i could find on my pc
  • re-verified all the files
  • reinstalled eve
  • tried several launcher settings
  • running eve in other compatibility modes
  • all of the above several times and then some

to me it seems eve is running properly but its visual shell is not updating
any ideas as to how to fix this?

Greetz, Braxton

Edit: for some reason the problem has disappeared. I do not know why or how but eve works again. Thanks eve team thumbs up

Mine does something similar, I have to log off after docking. the render breaks but the ui still functions.
