EVE General Discussion

Look at me!

Interesting. Is this memory leak somehow selective?

I ask because I have not experienced this nor has anyone I am in contact with, and usualy a memory leak (sound related or not) is fairly universal. I personally keep the sound on in EVE, which puts me in the minority I am sure.

Of course, that doesn't explain the multitude of bugs that were reported months beforehand and were well known before every expansion, yet were never acted upon until unleashed on the main server and enough people raged and threatened to quit about them.

But you seem too busy trolling to be bothered by something as inconvenient as history.

I know three people with the same issue, two of us have the same sound cards (onboard RealTek HD, but different drivers) but one has a completely different chipset. It certainly seems to be a minority issue though from the feedback we've received.

When something is pointed out on the test server, if scheduling allows it should be looked into and fixed asap. However if the bug is relatively minor in a game that receives constant updates such fixes are often relegated to a post release schedule.

What is more often the case is that something NOT discovered during testing on Sisi becomes a big problem, and people begin raging about a lack of quality control. Those people fail to understand how code can behave differently when up under different load conditions.

Does that put things more in perspective for you, or would you rather continue ignoring the main (and very factual) point of my post...

I tried formatting it but... the formatting options are rather primitive. I did indeed use line breaks and I organized my words and thoughts to make it easier but there is only so much I can do. I felt that the information could be (but surely is not!) important to CCP. Personally, it is not relevant whether or not any of their customers read it.

And no, I am not giving away my stuff. I am not rage quitting. I will check back in a few years and see if anything relevant has changed. It would be nice to "start over" with a large amount of resources.

I never liked RealTek, I was happy when I bought a sound blaster card to override the onboard.

The bizarre thing is, I've never had any issues with RealTek at all. I actually threw away my Sound Blaster card because the RT onboard was so much better for games. The only issue started with the Crucible update, which was even more arcane since (as far as I know) the sound system wasn't touched in any way.

Those crazy computer pixies and the spaghetti code that is EVE.

Amazing, you just admitted the reason I am cancelling my accounts and dismissed it as being proper for the industry. "If scheduling allows", "release schedule", "post release schedule", etc. These may be the industry norm, but Eve is the only part of the industry that I ever see since I do not play any other massively multiplayer online games. If this is the state of the industry, then none of them will get my money. I do not accept such a poor experience with other products I buy. I will not accept it here either. Perhaps the industry needs to grow up?

if you spared no expense on your uber desktop gaming machines, because you like to game and all, why would you spend that kind of cash on a Macbook Pro that in comparison in price, you could have bought an alienware laptop? Then you complain about your Macbook Pro performance while gaming, when you do not have a gaming laptop? you buy gaming machines for gaming don't you? and since when does having a gaming machine mean you cannot use said gaming machine for, i don't know, EVERYTHING ELSE you could need to use it for
