Multibox freeze upon quitting issue on DX12 still present

[Jao_I]

Now, since latest dev-blog recommends switching to DX12, I believe this issue needs some more attention.

In nutshell: if you quit one of 2 currently open EVE Online windows (both omega ofc) while you use DX12, the PC will freeze till next GPU adapter re-init.

For trolls: this has been reproduced on 2 fully different PCs, with 5 minute fresh Windows 11 install. This also has been reported and even escalated to the seniors (requests 2187728 and 2175590).

So, the DX12 is not playable when multiboxing, I should keep my launcher to use DX11 .

Issue is not mine alone, similar people are reporting the same behavior across multiple sources:

Multiboxing and screen freezing

I’m running multiple monitors with multiple clients. Most of the time my clients run without issues, my cpu/memory/gpu utilization levels stay in the 50-70% range and everything runs smoothly regardless of what I’m doing in game. Sometimes however, one client on a random monitor will go black or freeze, the game still responds to clicking (ie: if I double click in space it’ll move and if I click the right spot where a module will be it’ll activate, etc) but I can’t see anything. If it’s frozen,…

And many more (will post more in comments)

So what I can conclude - I just reproduced the freeze today with DX12 on 23H2, 12th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i9-12900K 3.20 GHz, 64,0 GB (63,7 GB usable), 3080 Ti.

Please, CCP, we cannot use you’re recommended settings. Investigate please.

Can't play Eve with multiple clients since updating to Windows 11. Random Clients will freeze

Since updating to windows 11, I’m essentially unable to reliably play eve with 4 clients open. I’m experiencing three main issues, and here they are ranked from most problematic to least: One of the clients will reliably have it’s UI completely freeze after a few minutes of playing the game. I can still hear Client sounds when I move my mouse around, so it seems like the client is still getting some input, but the UI will freeze completely, and nothing I do seems to unfreeze it until I clos…

And more, just no point putting them all here. They all are fixed by switching to DX11.

In nutshell: if you quit one of 2 currently open EVE Online windows (both alpha ofc) while you use DX12, the PC will freeze till next GPU adapter re-init.

In a nutshell: You are violating the EULA, so a freeze is perfectly valid i guess.

Sorry, omega, i meant omega. The alpha won’t open.

I also have been issue with clients freezing after quitting the game…

[Jao_I]

Actually. I just found out that disabling V-Sync on all windows did help.

Nope… Now it hangs even at switching and starting of other clients. What the helll…
