Since moving into the new cache system that came with Scylla my loading is a lot slower on average 1-2 minutes and the performance of the overall game is down substantially.

This does not make me a happy customer.

Same here.

Game taking longer to load.

On undocking I get a black screen for a few seconds despite undocking from the same station yesterday so in theory I should have the resources required already downloaded? (no ships on grid)

I was contemplating downloading all the resources but don't want to go ahead and do this unless I know that this will fix the issue.

It is all very well making so called improvements but when they adversely affect performance and game play then this isn't how they will be perceived.

‘No, this isn't it at all. Make it more... psssshhhh’.

This.

I got that even though I downloaded the full cache, so don't bother.
I believe you already appear on grid while still having that black screen btw. .. Just lost a ship after undocking, already had a scram on me when I got past the black screen ..
Now, I don't want complain that much .. you win some, you lose some and it was lowsec after all .... buuut it kinda makes you want to have the 'old' Client back :P

I'm downloading the whole thing to see if it's any better.

Tried fighting, 3 1v1s (non-consensual)

First fight, thrashers at tac off gate, I got warp in near my target and shortly after landing the client froze for 5 or 6 seconds, got out damaged, wasn't recording.

2nd fight, cloaky sneaky on same thrasher, warped in cloaked, killed him no lag.

3rd fight, warped to bubble to engage rupture, client froze for 6 seconds, actions attempted during freeze didn't register, 'woke up' to armor damage, ended up losing the fight and it was close.

vid of the freeze

As it is, I can't play the game the way I like - which is to take challenging fights - not knowing if my client or my opponents client will lock up giving the other party a huge advantage.

I'll let you know if DLing the whole cache helps.

Switching my game to do it the old way seems to have improved performance significantly.

Thanks a lot for this idea. After enabling "Download all resource files" in the launcher settings in the Download tab my performance seems to have gone back to normal.

dear CCP,

since the new update, i find the performance of my eve-clients inacceptable. like others in this thread, my computer freezes when i am jumping gates, loading grids, go into planet view or undock. i will try running the old download method and provide information here.

i have checked the box "download all the resource files", started the client, waited for the download to complete. after that i started the client. there is still "resource loading" in the lower left corner, and the client freezes up to 6 seconds on the mentioned occasions.

the new cache system broke the game, apart from the framerate drops when entering/exiting grid, warping on gate/stations/belts or whatever else... now apparently needs to load something every time my weapon cycles. Seriously now... what the hell ?Straight

my workaround: make sure, this new "cache folder" is on the same harddrive as the game installation. im still testing, but after 10 minutes of play, this seems to fix my issues.

edit: yes, it does.

i have my client installed on a SSD, i have some HDs in the computer for p0rn storage. after putting the cache-folder on the SSD, old eve performance is back.

Mine is and was on SSD, but it's still the same.

Every weapon cycle = massive fps drop/stuttering :)

Just emphasizing as well the performance issues since the update. Game is pretty much unplayable from the constant socket closures and severe lag.

Not a happy customer!!!!

Definitely seeing black screen for a lot longer on undock since the patch.
First time it happened I thought my machine had crashed.


Should have said this is using a 27" iMac which has been fine before now.

Just confirming+pushing this topic.

My fps became really unstable sometimes rapidly droping down to 10fps for a sec and then going back up to 70...

very annoying and laggy.

Same lost almost 5 fights now due to this crappy lagg, was so sad to lose my svipul to a hurricane due to the lagg as i couldnt manage my reps correctly :(

Would be nice to get an answer from ccp saying what the issue it, how to solve or at least that they r looking in to it

After looking around, ccp is looking in to the issue it seems

I'm just glad I'm not doing PvP. I decided to run a couple L4 ops this evening and I swear the frames tank and chug more often than not and worse than I think I have ever seen in Eve (And I use to run this on a 9500GT back when I started). When it gets to a point where the mere visual quality is not the only casualty, but the actual functionality of the game is damaged, I'm finding it notoriously harder each time to simply ignore or laugh at the people who "threaten to leave if not fixed".

I've tried everything; Dx9/Dx11, changing resolution, using one monitor (I normally have Eve stretched across two), flipping different visual/audio settings, etc. Having full cache downloaded does nothing to help (only adds like another 700 files and about 200 megs to the folder), I've cleared my settings three times now, did fresh reinstalls twice, and my drivers are all up to date.

Hopefully, you guys (CCP) have some ideas and can uncover what ever dastardly plot against humanity is creating this problem and quell this "coup de ta" trying to overthrow my frames.

P.S. I say we hunt down the Sleepers, they obviously have something to do with this bug!

"Tomahawks?"

"----in' A, right?"

"Trouble is, those things cost like a million and a half each."

"----, you pay me half that and I'll hump in some c4 and blow the ---- out of it my own damn self."

I just wanted to add that I am experiencing the black screen after undock, stuttering, "resources loading" spinning in the lower part of the toolbar.

This was fine before Scylla, so there is a correlation between the patches and performance.

I have tried everything mentioned above and am still experiencing stuttering and black screens after undock (even with lowest graphic settings !)
