Laptops shouldn't be left on all day using gpu heavy programs, they do get hot hurr durr. @op try idling in another game all day and see if your laptop doesnt get hot. The opening screen does have a rather fancy animation.

but

everyone knows that there are problems with Incarna's performance, even CCP have admitted it. Cards working way too hard for the environment needed.


A quite useless animation that takes way too much GPU for its purpose. I will not leave my laptop open with EVE log-in page from now on, but I would honestly appreciate an option to disable such animations to the a log-in page. I do not need it, the cost is simply to high for the gains, just like Incarna...

Really...... if you had any idea how computers process 3D and the limitations of a computer to process only the amount it is capable of you, would be blaming the manufacture of the laptop not the company that makes a game.

The problem is the laptop can only process so much to the limitations of its hardware the heat you feel is actually the manufacturer putting something with no under clock in it to stop burning a hole in your desk.

the real question is why would you want to idle on login page? when you come back to the computer after a while dont you get the "socket closed" error first time logging in? wouldn't it be quicker to load it from scratch?

also get a notebook cooler, they are heaps better than they used to be. I did a heap of research and ended up getting a coolermaster single 230mm fan version. for me it dropped gpu temps by about 15 degrees over just wedging the back of the laptop up. also keeps the the surface of the lappy alot cooler (mine gets warm around the touchpad after a couple hours)

thats what I got was like 25 bucks or something from local pc outlet.

Then why do other games, more demanding than an EVE log-in screen run just fine? Why do I have this issue JUST with EVE Online? Is my laptop to be blamed? And when I say other games I mean Deus Ex 3 and other current games on the market.

Err. that linked pointed to issues with CQ which CCP and everyone else acknowledges/agrees was an issue.

You are complaining about a LOG-IN screen. If your laptop cannot run a single page animation and it's a "HEAVY GAMING" laptop (an oxymoron nonetheless) then the issue is NOT CCP.

Which part aren't you getting?

But I am a solutions person so I am going to suggest you take the lappy out to the garage and crank up the compressor. If that's not possible, a can of compressed air available from most good electronics shops should do the trick.

Failing that. Buy a HEAVY GAMING PC and use the laptop for forum posting. It's pretty darn good at doing that.

Meh, there is no option to disable that useless animation. Thanks for your time and input, but this wont fix the heating problem. My laptop runs EVE just fine, it heats up though. My surprise was to see that the log-in page made my laptop this hot. Honestly I feel that is just a useless "feature" just like Incarna.

I'm on a laptop and haven't had any issues like this, even if I let it run for a longish while.

Am I doing something wrong? P

Hey as an aside on this.

My wife's laptop turned itself off the other night. Vent was blocked, it overheated and shut down.

Isn't this feature enabled on your laptop?

If not. Fix it. (RTFM)

If so, then your laptop was not overheating and therefore this topic is null and void.

Ok people, nothing to see here.... Move on..... Shocked

I like your logic. :D

I would say overheating happens when touching your laptop becomes a nuisance due to heat., not when it shuts down.

The log-in page uses very roughly the same amount of hardware resources as being logged in and in space in a safespot.
If you have trouble with the log in screen, you should have the same problems with the "in space" part too.
Oh, and the "in space" part actually runs smoother in Incarna than before it. It's the CQ part that's uber-stressful to hardware.
You might want to consider ramping down your graphics options OR cleaning your laptop's insides OR getting supplemental cooling.

P.S. Would it be nicer if the log-in screen detected idleness after a few minutes and started running something that's much more milder on the graphics card instead (like a movie loop, or maybe even a black screen with some text) ? Sure would. But you'd need to suggest that.
