EVE General Discussion

My complaint is with the target information, which is almost completely washed out by the nebula (the SS was from my thread asking for widescreen mode back and was cropped for demonstrating that specific issue). The SS actually is a little clearer than the actual game because of the compression adding more of an edge to it. Looking 'up' while in Domain is hard on the eyes, reading target information can be nearly impossible.

My only complaint right now is the Amarr station (with their old textures) are way too shiny on the sun side.


Oh... and most of the stars should not be as bloomy as they are. At 40AU many should be downright invisible.

They are also great braised after marinating in tears, but yeah I hear fried are pretty darn good.

People need to quit sugar-coating this problem. If I hadn't done everything that's been suggested already I wouldn't have bothered to post in here. It's a damn shame that a nice effect like HDR has to be lost (turned off) because someone on the DEV team can't (or won't) figure out how to give a us control of a simple graphics parameter. When you can't even read the distance to a locked target without moving the background around to a dark part of space or checking it in the overview, you may as well be flying from the solar system map.
Btw, BLOOM was removed from the Eve graphics options a LONG time ago.

I'll bet you 20 Mil that if the user community had access to the .dds files and anything else that was needed, there would soon be a mod to fix this.

Edit: Actually, it's such a pain trying to get anything fixed like this, I've decided I don't care anymore. I don't need the agitation. Good luck, CCP.

Thanks, mate.
Yes, hating is bad. i really do appreciate the Dev teams and all the work they do... but sometimes I feel like they are off in a dark castle somewhere, doing whatever they want, telling us to eat cake.

We'll get it right someday.

In the meantime, at least I know that there are a few pilots out there willing to stand and fight the dragon.

Try using a welders helmet with a + 10 lense, it's good for mig, tig and sub arc.
Use +12 though if you ever have to do PI on an ice planet.

Gamma controls aren't going to work well. The nebulae can be too bright while in a different location the only time I can see my ship is by the silhouette of its hull that's darker than the dark back ground. I'd like to be able to darken the one and brighten the other. We're not going to get that with a gamma slider unless you care to be changing it constantly.

I usually play in a dark room with one lamp on...very little ambient light unless it's daytime. So bright lights on the screen are actually blinding, and make it impossible to see my ship without playing around with the camera position.

From what I have seen in their videos, the developers at CCP work in an environment that is basically a well-lit office - this might explain their seeming lack of concern regarding this issue... and perhaps even the attitude of a number of our fellow pilots who play in similarly well-lit areas.

In any case, I've sent a barrel of sweetrolls to Iceland as a bribe, er, tribute to the Yarl of CCP.

I used to be able to get things done much faster, but then I took an arrow to the knee...

Cheers.

If you can't play eve blindfolded by sense of smell and the Force alone, you are doing it wrong.

Instead of trying to be funny or troll like most people I will just say while I do not experience this problem I do feel for you and agree that CCP should fix it. Peace
