EVE Online character select screen just goes black

Login works, then the character selection screen is pure black. I can hear the music, and clicking where my character should be does nothing. Verified files through the launcher and updated drivers.

does it go black in windowed mode too? i had this once and switching the client to fixed window instead of fullscreen got me past it. multi monitor setups seem to trip it more than single ones.

have you tried clearing the cache from the launcher settings? that's usually it. if not, verify the game files from the launcher, update your gpu driver, and try swapping between DX11 and DX12 in the launcher's client settings. an overlay (discord, afterburner etc) can also cause a black screen at that point, so turn those off while you test.
