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.

Known workarounds: Set EVE Online to launch in DX11 mode. a. In EVE Launcher, click the Cogwheel in upper right corner. b. In left sidemenu, click EVE Online. c. On the right, under Select DirectX version - in dropdown select DX11. Rollback driver/adrenalin vesion to 26.7.1. a. Go to the A…

I’m facing the same problem too. Switching to DX11 didn’t fix it. Resetting the graphics card drivers didn’t fix it. Formatting the computer didn’t fix it. I’ve already tested all my computer components, and they’re in perfect working order. You gave me an idea with that possible solution of yo…

noooo you can’t just blame AMD. How will I blame Fenris then?

Well, sorry for the delay in replying; I tested it without Adrenalin, and yes, it seemed to fix it—until the same problem happened again… It wasn’t severe enough to shut down the computer like before, but it caused me to lose a fight and left my accounts stranded for over a minute; then things went…

Any news on this issue? Still experiencing it! Does anyone know if the optional Adrenalin 26.9.1 driver helps? Thanks.
