Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Please try the following.

* Start the launcher.
* Click on settings in the left pane.
* Click on shared cache settings.
* Click on show in explorer.
* Delete the tq folder.
* Close file explorer.
* Once the button stops being gray (may take a few second or even minutes) click verify.
* Allow the process to finish.
* Reinstall your graphic driver (even if you have the latest driver and it's working with all other games).

You may want to clear the client side cache as well for each account and see if that makes a difference. Login to your characters and do the following.

* Hit Esc key on each one
* Select Reset Settings tab.
* Click on Clear all cache files.

Then see if the issue persists.

Same thing, wow.. huge hit in performance with multiple characters logged in.
Will try the suggested fix to see if that helps at all


edit: tried all the suggestions.. nothing helps. I used to be able to run 9 accounts between two monitors. FPS on non active windows stayed in the 20's with my active window 40-50+. Now FPS is single digits for non active while remaining the same on active windows; switching windows takes a lot longer is very jerky and often the non active windows don't seem to update (or they are running so slow that it takes a really long time). Oh well..good excuse check out some of the recent Stellaris changes

Confirm the problem 2 3 client lag freezes.And not helps to even just the minimum on all clients. Although this well-kept 5 Windows in one of them was the maximum graphics settings.

I had thought it was just my computer this past week. Thanks for the suggestion, after doing this it appears to load character portraits after I tab out of a chat and back in. However new speakers will appear with the default model. The rest of the problems seem to persist as well.

Have the same issue.

at first: sry for bad english

but I have the same problem, use 2 accounts
Furthemore i think eve uses only one processor core, evertime i have these laggs, one of my CPU Cores (i6850) spikes to 100% and all other 11 cores going down to nearly 0%.
When the spike on the 100% usage-core goes down to normal, all other cores come back to low usage of some %

I have thise probleme since 3 days now

When i have these lag, Teamspeak is hit too, as long as the lag spike is existent i dont hear anything in TS

I have been playing around with my settings over the last day or so. This is what I have discovered:

Single Client open:
- Graphical settings seem to have no effect on this issue what so ever - meaning its no a GFX related CPU/GPU problem.
- Being in station provides no problem at all - meaning it is something that is being loaded in space that sends peoples clients stupid (at least on my computer), by stupid i mean freezes, CPU usage tanks etc.
- Being undocked, my client freezes at around the 2minute mark, most of the time.
- I tested turning off audio, crashing seemed to cease. I got a mate to send a screenshot of his audio settings (he doesnt seem to have problems) and replicated it - crashed after 1min 4 seconds (i timed it.)

This leads me to think that with the Audio changes in 119.5 that something has not gone quite right. The only major difference between my mate and myself is operating system. I use Windows 7 Ultimate Sp1 he is on Windows 10. So perhaps the difference in audio drivers has caused issue? *just thinking out loud here*

My next test is logging in an alt on another client (all clients audio muted):
- Initially kept my main in space, with the alt in station. No issues detected.
- Undocked my alt into space, not issues detected.

So what do you do after an apparent successful test with one alt? Add in another alt - now this maxes me out as I only have access to 3 accounts so I would be interested in you professional multiboxers (yes you with the 15accounts). Heres the rest of my testing with audio muted:

- 2 toons in space one in station, no issues. Win7 Resource monitor clocks my CPU usage over my entire computer at between 30-55%.
- 3 toons in space. No issues, warped some around knowing that I was unable to really do so with sound on without crashing. CPU usage still within that 30-55% mark. Seems more and more like an audio issue causing some CPU's to tank themselves and eventually freeze the client right?

So my final test with all 3 toons in space is to turn on the audio for one client and see if it crashes all clients or just the one. Can you guess whats going to happen? I predict only this one client will crash... and funnily enough after a 1-2minutes. That one client crashes! Eureka much?

Given the information I have gathered over the last 30-45mins with these various settings I would be inclined to say that CCP in their effort to streamline (as they put it) the audio functions, have put an incorrect character or something in the coding (im no programmer but I do have some base skills) which is causing issues for only some of us.

So here is my suggestion - try turning off your sound in the menu then post here if you agree that I am onto something. While I can do without sound, to me it is another layer of immersion.

Edit: One last thing, all of my testing was done with graphics optimised for performance - so pretty crappy looking ships, but one problem at a time though!

Phonze out.

Same here.
Two clients running.

i7 6770k, one core maxes out at 100%, the other 7 drop to zero, the interface freezes for 10-15 seconds (eg ship freezes in space while aligning to warp), then catches up (ship is suddenly sat at a gate ready to leave system). Game seems fine for 2-3 minutes, then repeats the process.

I am also having this issue. I normally run 3-4 clients at a time, but after the latest update I am only able to run one at a time without *major* stuttering across all clients as well as other programs (web browsers, skype, TS3, etc) while multiple clients are loaded. I took a cue from someone else in this thread and disabled EVE voice, set my clients to 'Limit Active Sounds' and then turned on advanced audio settings and turned everything but Jump Activations and Warning Sounds to zero. I'm still getting some stuttering, but not as horribly as it was. Might be something to try until CCP figures out what the issue is. It was this or unsub some accounts.

new memory optimisation is a problem.
when client is minimized FPS in it comes for a 1000, and drops to 15-30 when client is resumed, this bugy operation causes a perfomence drop on other clients.
So nothing we can do until CCP will fix it
