[Resolved] Blackscreen Issues for Mac users - 29 October

We’re currently investigating an issue where Mac users are experiencing a blackscreen upon logging in or undocking. Our engineers are looking to isolate the issue, and we’ll have an update as soon as we have more information. You may also follow along with the EVE Status page (https://status.eveonline.com/)

If you are a Mac user, we strongly advise you to not log-in if your character is in space.

Update 13:35: Our engineers are testing a potential fix for this issue. We will look to have the next update at ~15:00 UTC to confirm if the issue is resolved or not. Thank you for your patience!

15:00 update - the build needs a little bit longer to cook, but will let you know as soon as it’s ready (hopefully within the hour)

15:42 Fix is out and working! You may need to restart your clients to receive the patch.

Thank you everyone for hanging in there with us.

I hope Omega accounts get compensated somehow for not being able to play the game.

FYI before either of my accounts could undock, the hangers were empty. I could tell that nothing was missing as the volumes were still correct, but visually nothing was there.

I also found my bpcs were not showing in the station no more, inability to set destination to any system and indeed after undocking in a shuttle black screen..

I undocked two toons. One on each account. No ship modules were loaded, no modules and no objects in the overview, making it impossible to redock. I had to force-quit and now I only get a black screen when trying to log into those two toons.

I can log into the others but I’m not undocking them atm. Would love to have this fixed fast as I only have a limited time to complete the event track :slight_smile: so keep poking them hamsters

edit; On the toons that are still docked I can see the items in the ship that I’m currently in but not in the ones in my hangars. Volume and value is still showing as if working correctly.

Edit 2: Items in hangars are all over the place. Some hangars and containers show the contents correctly while others look empty except for volume and value

Assets in other stations are not resolving in Personal Assets, my jumps distances are off, I cannot see details of pilots (employment, etc.)

BTW - It would be great if the Launcher was updated with a note in the feed on the left so that we are aware of the issue before logging in and being totally confused. Thanks!

Looking forward to a fix!

You can load the New Eden Store and close it.
Then the environment loads partially.

You can’t dock however, had to start up the windows box for that.

Same Same :wink: GL! o/

Installed the launcher update. Nothing changed for Charakters undocked - still completely black screen. Charakters in station look ok, once undocked I observe the same as with the others undocked - only a black screen.

for me, when I click on my toon to go in game, black screen , no station graphic load , only music :smiley:

I am on an M1 Max Mac Studio and am experiencing this issue as well, unfortunately I did not know about the issue until I undocked.

After launcher update I was able to login, complete a couple indy jobs, and then I undocked… black screen. Character select says I’m undocked. Big time afraid I’ll get blapped.

I hope my ship hasn’t been blown up! I’m assuming it auto-warps off after some minutes. Was hoping to finish a few of the Crimson Harvest parts this afternoon.

indeed, we hope that, we can’t wait to do this delicious crimson event ! Good point, we know who is using Mac now :wink:

Besides the crazy black screen / UI disappearance on undock, cargo hold on some ships are not showing items. Orca in particular for me, both the cargo hold and drone bay were not showing item icons, but the fleet hangar and other bays were fine. Running macos 26.7.2 on an m3 max macbook pro 2023 model.
