Since downtime yesterday Eve causes a driver exception when starting in DX12, it doesn’t matter if I load 1 or multiple characters.
I have an AMD based system RX9070 XT and Ryzen 9 5950X processor, and have heard others with AMD systems have similar issues.
Switching to DX11 resolves the issue.
I have the exact same issue with same GPU after that patch.
I have an AMD 5900XT which is basically a 5950X so we pretty much have exactly the same specs
I haven’t tried disabling resize BAR yet, will try a bit later and update here if it works.
But it’s not a great solution even if it does, as it definitely affects performance and you can’t control it per-game, it’s a BIOS system-wide setting
I am also experiencing the same issue as you. My computer configuration includes an AMD RX9070 XT graphics card and a Ryzen 9 9950x3d processor. After the update on the 25th, when I launch the game in DX12 mode, I can only enter the character selection interface. If I continue to click to enter the game, it immediately crashes and reports an error. Even after updating both the graphics card driver and Windows to the latest versions, there has been no improvement.
So you didn’t update the graphics driver - it is only the EVE update that broke it? But maybe an older version works better in the meantime?
At least this post is more intelligent than screaming “WTF is AMD doing?”.
It is always CCP/FC’s fault. 
Correct (at least for me), no graphics update, it just started happening after the 25th game update (2026-08-25.1)
Hi,
Same issue, specs: Ryzen 5900x, 32gb Ram, 9070XT. Driver time out error only with eve, tried various other games such as WoW, World of Warships with no issues.
Completed a total clean GPU removal and reinstall with no change. Even did the same with EVE.
I tried WH40k Space Marine 2 and SWTOR and both ran fine, it’s only EvE which seems broken.
I have not updated my drivers in the last few days.
any way to solve this issue beside switching to Dx 11 ?
pc spec : amd 7800x3d rx 9070x , 32gb ram
They replied to my in game bug report saying they’re aware of the issue and that for now the solution is to switch to DX11
The reply from @ISD_BH_Windixie
Hi Mifune Jaynara
Thank you for your bug report. The developers are already aware of this issue. While we are unable to provide a timeline for a fix, there is a workaround by switching the client to run on DX11.
Sincerely,
ISD Windixie
Even on DX11 the game will eventualy end up in black screen and will disable the screen its running on. Great job FC
That hasn’t happened to me at all
Happened to me first time, now I managed to stay in the game/fight for longer. possibly an anomaly.
Keep an eye out just in case
This is pretty annoying to be honest. I have a brand spanking new 9070xt, bought a brand new PSU and I can’t believe DX12 will crash my display driver on launch EVERY TIME. This is pretty annoying I hope they get that fix out quicker.
Same issue ryzen 7 7800X3D CPU, 64GB RAM, 9070 XT. Issue appears to be exclusive to Eve Online, as I can run a long list of other games and software without any problems. Was fine until this last update of Eve. The longer I can’t play, the less likely I will continue to sub omega.
Nobody “can’t play”…you switch to Directx 11 in the launcher and you can play…
Did you just jump over the first post and the solution for the meantime?
Yep, I’m exactly the same. Have a 9070 XT, and a Ryzen 7800X3D, 32 Gig and a Whammy bar.
Took four days of relaying tickets with Peanut in support for them to tell me to use DX 11 …
At least a few of us, all with good systems and a variety of them are having the same problem, hopefully they will work out a fix.
