Amazing content update CCP, but something is wrong: before Rhea patch my two ACC worked like a charm on my notebook ( 8 Gb RAM, Quad Core 2 Ghz AMD ) , now it's very anoying lag ... CryCry . If i make CTRL+F9 , it's obviuously better.

Please please fix it.... i want to enjoy EVE again.

Thank you.


Confirming the MASSIVE frame rate hit playing with more than one account.
The only workaround I have found that helps is minimizing the inactive window and NOT alt-tabbing.

I was thinking, you could set up a second server, which players could log onto and check the new changes before they get released to TQ, like a test server. Then you could look at the feedback and listen to ideas and problems that your customers have found and utilise that in your own QA work.

That's funny...

1) When you select a station in the Deliveries folder, under Corporation Assets, there is no reason for the entire list to brighten - and then darken again, when Show Info is selected for one station in the list. This is very annoying to the eye when doing Show Info on a series of stations.

2) When you Deliver To a corp member from the Corporation Assets deliveries hanger, there is no reason for the entire background to darken, when the Select Member popup window appears, and then brighten again when the window is closed. This also occurs with various confirmation popup windows. It is also very annoying to the eye, when doing a series of activities - such as transferring delivered items at multiple stations wihin a region to a corp member.

Similar behavior occurs throughout the UI, in various windows, as focus changes or items are selected.

Fade up, fade down, fade up, fade down, fade up, fade down.... definitely produces eye strain after a few minutes.

Please fix by turning off this unnecessary fade up/down effect.

Thank you.

Not sure what to think of the new UI and it's not easy getting use to it. I don't like the fact that the pinning and unpinning of the windows doesn't make much of a difference in transparency now like it did before where you could see though some of your windows. The buttons for the entire UI have no definition anymore like they use to. Seems to be more of a strain on the eyes when selecting what you want.

Ok I have had some more time to use the new UI and I just want to put another thought out there about it.

1. The screen is completely blocked by windows now which it wasn't before.
2. The game almost looks like it did back in 2006 with shadows and shine coming off the ships and other objects in space.
3. Transparency is horrible.
4. Bring back the ability to customize colors in the UI. I don't like being limited on a few choices of window coloring.

I cant even download the patch, it run through 2/4 real quick them i get a exception window. Then i run the repair tool, stops loading when its on 6/7 percentage done is different every time i run it. Now i uninstalled Eve client and rebooted my pc, and start to re install the client. Only now it wont even install. I keep getting a archive failed extraction error. So Why CCP why does your **** patches always break my game.

I have to go through the headache to find out what does wrong. Always having to uninstall and re-install. I love playing your game, but every time you have a patch released or a new expansion, it breaks the game. So please get back to me soon as possible.

Ok for some reason now its installing, ill keep an update as things change.

The night before the patch, I was getting a constant 60 FPS during a fleet fight. Last night, in a fight with similar numbers I was getting 45-50 FPS.

I have turned off the blur option and I have high-end hardware so that is not the issue.


So, despite “performance testing”, either the new UI or the new PBR are causing significant reductions in performance. No-one asked for this new UI, and most people hate it.

Fancy new cr4p is all very well, but performance should not be sacrificed for it.



CCP still breaking stuff that works instead of fixing stuff that is broken.


Awesome.


I'm seeing fully opposite effects, whereas I used to get around 35fps on average with 300+ pilots on field and substantial hangups when landing on a grid with a fleet or 2, now I get constant performance of 60fps (vsync capped) and barely a hitch when landing. If only it helped with my head ache.



What did you do to get that ?


I'm not really sure, but here's the general gist of things:

Blur off
Transparency 0
Carbon
No pinned windows
AA disabled
Textures, Shader High
LOD miedum
Post Processing Low

There thing here is that for the first hour I had weird stuttering and generally horrible performance. After rebooting my computer I logged in to find the most fluid Eve in 5 years. I guess post processing might be a resource hog.


Post processing does tend to hog resources.

However, I was running with everything maxed, brackets on etc before the patch and was getting a solid 60fps. I kept exactly the same settings after the patch and it was fluctuating between 45-50fps.

So the "improvements" CCP have made have certainly impacted on performance, as nothing else had changed.



What I would give for 45-50 fps. I used to be able to run 2 clients at constant 60fps no problem. I have what I would consider to be a fairly high end PC. Now with one client I'm stuck 20-30 if I undock, and 40-50 docked.

Jump fatigue is still in the game. It should have gone with CCP Greyscale when he was canned.

Before the patch, when you broadcast for reps (need shield/cap/armor) there's a little icon that shows up above the bracket in space for both you and other people in your fleet. After the patch these icons are completely gone. I always use this to confirm that I did broadcast for reps so I don't have to have logi broadcasts turned on when I'm not flying logi. So suddenly having this feature removed for no reason at all makes it extremely frustrating and inconvenient.

I am having issues with viewing the contents of containers remotely through the Personal Assets window and my UI scaling settings won't stick. I've tried this on both accounts on all characters and none of them work. I've tried clearing cache files and resetting window positions but neither of those worked.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Not sure if this is an issue or planned - the Ship Fittings Window - I think it needs to get a pinned option... this would help greatly.

Also - pleas make pinned separate from transparency completely separate - some windows need to be clear while others are needed to be opaque depending on use... pinned needs to be it's own as both types need to be able to be pinned.

I am not sure if others have noticed that - but it looks like a bug...

What is happening:
-right-click on screen, select a gate and then select "Jump"
-Alt-Tab to switch over from Eve to desktop
-wait a reasonable amount of time - to make sure that there was enough time for the ship to jump
-bring back Eve screen

The ship should be on the other side of the gate - but no, it is not. It starts jumping through the gate only after Eve screen is brought back.
Until then - the jump is suspended (?).
Same behaviour with docking...

EDIT:
The issue is gone. Thanks.

I like the new UI - So, there's that.

Anyway - Bug: When clicking any giving flashing chat-tab, all other flashing chat-tabs also stop flashing.


This is my ONLY complaint with the entire release. PLEASE either give us the ability to select between:
a. Mouse-over squelch the blinks
b. Only turn off blink when chat tab is clicked (like how it was before)

OR remove the blink squelch via mouseover entirely (like how it was before). Just a feather touch on the chat window and all the blinks disappear and then I start missing things people are trying to tell me.

Patch notes indicate that "Issues with mailing lists have been fixed".

Does this happen to include raising the population cap?

The NPSI communities have reached the limit on how many people can sign up for these, and they are critical to passing on information about the group's activities.

Can't shoot blues if you don't have any. Long Live NPSI.

Seems we got served a partially cooked meal again, some bits edible others unpalatable,

Whats with the Frame rate drops involving UI functions.

Whats with the problems selecting movement functions when near a gate at times.

And the constant EWarps.

And why can I now not select 'Display Contents' on remote station inventory cans

And why are my eyes so painful after playing for only a few hours, maybe the way to bright backgrounds coupled with the squiffy chat windows.

And why are we continually having these discussions on this forum after so many promised improvements being offered by CCP's new way of doing stuff, seems to me that increased number of patches simply equates to increased number of screw up's, Did the players ask for a new UI, Not see anything regarding such a mass request on these forums anyway, minor improvements maybe asked for but not this abortion.

Realistic ship rendering, It's a game, not real life, there supposed to look a bit garish at times, not like so many Nissan jelly mold products.

For once Will CCP listen to what players really need for the money they invest, what might that be, simple ''Fix what you know is broken, make it work as intended, then start looking to introduce new ideas but ensure they are not broken before hand or break stuff when they are introduced''. Take your time to get it right rather than rush it in and be certain of getting it wrong.

I have the same problem. The colours used to help me find the right icon quickly.

Possible solution: on mouseover give the the new icons colour. That way as soon as I drag my mouse over a button I'll have immediate feedback regarding whether it's the right button that I'm about to hit.

Neocom icons in full colour on mouseover.

Should be easy to do.
