EVE Information Portal

Got my issue fixed... I ended up doing a complete Nuke of my windows install. Wiped everything out and reinstalled only the basic programs I need. I did the complete windows updates though. I am back in action. I still have no idea what broke or where in my client but It's fixed now.

On a separate note. Aineko, you have the best avatar I have seen out of all the forum avatars since they rolled them out. Very Well Done! Just thought i'd toss that in

As reported, while watching someone change ships in space if you have your overview locked, when the overview becomes unlocked and resorts the player's name will no longer be present and instead it seems as if there's an empty ship flying around. Been having issues with logging on since crucible was first released where I get logged on, choose my character, the "entering game" window does it's thing and disappears; at this point before crucible I was fully logged in and capable of controlling my ship by doing things such as cloaking while my ship was in-warp to the spot from whence I logged off. Now however I log on, select my character, "entering game" window does it's thing and I'm greeted with nothing but blackness, a black screen that lasts anywhere from 5 seconds to however long it takes my ship to warp that 1,000,000 KM back to the spot where I logged off at. This means that sometimes my ship is on grid before I have any control over it, meaning I'm not cloaked or anything, spoiling potential kills in my wormhole and leaving me vulnerable to attack if I happened to get disconnected while on grid with a wormhole, a celestial or heaven forbid a hostile POS. I've reinstalled the client, I've nuked my whole OS installation and reinstalled the client with the same results, it's unacceptable. The salvager sounds get stuck so often that when I'm in my salvaging ship I have to be zoomed out from my ship as far as the camera will zoom out to avoid the sound getting stuck, the sound is horrible anyways compared to what it used to be. Sounds like someone threw a bunch of rocks and pots and pans into a concrete mixer. Would be nice if you could keep certain open windows from having a button on the neocom, for instance the system/d-scanner that I'm sure a great deal of players have open permanently have no need for there to be a button for the open scanner window on their neocom, or another example the cargo window of the active ship doesn't need it's own button on the neocom, or the people and places window if you're someone who likes to leave that open as well. At the very least make it an option to remove buttons of open windows from the neocom. Overview locking upon mouse-over is a terrible idea, holding down CRTL to lock the overview was more than enough considering most people (I really do hope it's most people) already CTRL+click to lock targets anyways so it's not like their finger isn't already on the button waiting, it's really annoying that I'm being forced to move my mouse outside of the overview or stop moving it within the overview to lock new spawns without having them appear at the bottom of my overview, I'm the kind of person who's trying to be as quick and efficient at doing everything in EVE as I can so I'm locking target just as soon as they appear on my overview which means my mouse is within the confines of my overview moving around causing it to lock. MAKE IT OPTIONAL, I don't remember asking for this new "feature" and it certainly has inconvenienced me more than helped me especially considering that I can't info people's toons that are stuck in my locked overview after they've left grid so really what's the big advantage of it? I've also noticed a high incidence of pods escaping me and others I've spoken to, the scenario is this:you pew their ship and it dies, they aren't spamming warp so their pod is still sticking around long enough for you to lock them with a primed point/scram. you ship locks them and maintains lock for up to three seconds but immediately upon locking your primed point/scram deactivates and won't activate despite having a target lock, for the remaining three seconds or so as you pound your scram button full of rage and anger the pod initiates warp and gets away. Might just be a fluke or something but as far as I can remember if something stuck around long enough for you to get a target lock with primed tackle, they were tackled...so what's the deal with that, anyone had any similar experiences lately?

And no, super forum warrior Salpun, I have not filed a bug report though I have cleared my cache and settings several times. I lost faith in the petition and bug report system long ago, I basically post here in hopes that someone else has had some of these problems and hopefully solved them somehow and would like to share.

Thanks for the OS info and the shout out
While TQ bug reports seem to slip through the cracks very easily. Sisi bugs have a very fast reaction time, if they are easy to replicate by the bug hunters. Though its still 50% or so to get a response for issues like yours.
I woulds suggest you make a sisi build find an instance where it works every time and submit bug reports about that testable case.

The new bug reporting tool makes bugs like what you are experiancing easy to document. Prep the report take a picture while it is happening and submit. The more people that submit an issue the faster the root cause is found and fixed.

I hope your issues get fixed so you can injoy the game even more.

Has anyone else had any problems with editting your bio ingame? If I edit my bio at all, it freezes the rest of my character sheet (ie. cannot switch off the bio screen to any other item) and if you close and reopen the char sheet, everything is blank. Only a relog of the client fixes it, and then any changes to the bio that were made have been lost.

I've had this issue since Incarna, where I'd undock or warp, and the game would flicker to my desktop and then back to the game. On other occasions it just makes EVE invisible. The game would still be running, but my desk top is showing and my cursor is invisible. I'd have to manually end the program and restart. It always happens when I get the loading bar. The problem has been getting worse and worse with each version released. I initiated a bug report almost three months ago, but when I go to up load the logserv file, I get a system 500 error from the website, so I can't get CCP the info they need. Whats my next step?

A little while ago i was trying to undock quickly, hit the undock three times and 3 messages warning me i had a agression timer, i hit enter 3 times to get them to go away, and my view switched from "ship hanger" to the "Captains quarters" loading screen and said it was loading. the overview window popped up and so did drones, etc. but, it still looked like i was in station, stuck on the loading screen. i waited a little bit and no change, so i clicked on the station in the overview and hit approach, and turned on my afterburner. i docked up and i loaded up in the captains quarters, strange because i usually have it set to ship hangar. i switched to ship hanger and the game crashed. i reloaded the game and then it was fine. :S

i tried recreating it, but got stuck trying to redock when the camera thought it was in a gallente station and wouldnt rotate. couldnt see my harbinger either.

i took a video of it, if you want to see it i can upload it or send it to someone.

I noticed something yesterday:

if you deploy a bomb and warp off grid before it explodes, you don't get any hit and damage messages anymore, only if you keep staying on grid.

So you never know if you hit your target and you don't even know if your bomb did any damage.

Um, no. Why is the burden always put on the user to go through hoops to document / prove that something went awry with CCP's service? Furthermore, testing an issue on Sisi may not even be relevant due to different code bases and hosting environments.

Yes! The in-game bug reporting tool on Tranquility is excellent and allows for great bug reporting capability. The burden is on CCP to review and validate these bugs as they pertain to a publicly available, commercial service.

I've been experiencing quite a few problems since Crucible 1.2.2 was released. Mainly the crashes. The client crashes quite often, and takes a few tries to get back in-game. The overviews keep jerking about and going strangely colored which gets very annoying. I'm sure this is partly to do with the fact that i'm playing on a 3.0 GB laptop with only a dual 2.1GHz processor, and that most of you other players have high-end desktops but if you guys could look into this problem it would be much appreciated.

Cheers,
Mr Stew.

New Issue, in Corporations tab:

It is now impossible vote to Lockdown any Corporation BP, since last minor patch it seems,
though it could have been before that.


I have bug-reported it, no comeback yet...
