EVE Online crashes, somewhere between 30 seconds and 30 minutes of gameplay.
This crash happens when a character portrait image request fails.
It can be reproduced instantly on login by overriding the image server dns so it always fails: echo "127.0.0.1 images.cdn1.eveonline.com" >> /etc/hosts
I tried this on my Windows Vista laptop, and when I did the same hosts file thing, the game played normally with all character portraits being replaced by the default.
