I was dual-boxing a major fleet engagement last night with brackets on. Had no lag or fps issues.

Running M4A89GTD/USB3 Pro MoBo, AMD Phenom II 965BE proc, ATI Radeon HD4890 GPU, and 4GB of RAM.

Also, thx CCP. We never even saw TiDi.

UI is fine. Its just different.

Unified Inventory things I want to see fixed :

No 1 : LOOT CANS

These need to be a special 'type' operating a little differently to other inventory windows. I fact, they are already different since they have a 'loot all' button.

When a loot can is opened, have it open in its own window. Never, ever, open it n in a window being used to show some other inventory location.

Let me move it around and resize it where I please and then remember this for next time I open a loot can.

When the loot can is emptied, have the loot can window close completely. Do not switch its contents to show any other inventory location (eg., my cargo hold)

If I open multiple loot cans, open them as tabbed windows on the first.

There are others, but let's try baby steps.


You have to hold shift and then it will open in it's own window. It will do this about 50% of the time, if you're lucky . . . .


I have found that there is a lag when doing this. You have to continue to hold down the shift key untill the window is done spawning. if you just shift+click, and immediately release shift, it will jack your current window instead of opening in a new one.

Glad to finally hear that CCP is working on the FPS issue. I may see daylight before my sub runs out.

Glad to also hear that CCP recognizes the magnitude of the UI problem. I can keep my mouth shut now and just give them moral support to overcome it. Everybody makes mistakes, it's the determination to overcome it that counts. If they are determined to use as much time as necessary to work on it, I don't mind waiting for as long as it takes to perfect it.

On the other hand, while reading this thread earlier, analyzing the problem with the UI, I thought of an idea, and would appreciate good input from you smart people in this thread.

FIX IT CCP

Dying is not scary, It's almost like we've been prepering for it our whole live's. But it was very sad. I didn't want to go. I love my life. I no longer try to be right. I choose to be happy.

F**k shift/clicking - it's a LOOT CAN - it only needs to function in the way I described.

Are ccp geting a kickback from Logitech et al for wearing keyboards / mice out faster ? What happened to 'intuitive' operation ?

Well, it appears a response comes to posters from CCP when you congratulate them on something completely inane or useless, like a new suit in the AURUM store. Anything else, vague or nothing, or they delete your posts. CCP doesn't want the reality of their terrible patch efforts as seen from teh player side, they're only interested in things that apparently fit their rose coloured glasses. Checked the player and account numbers lately? ;)

At any rate, I figured out the fix for the lag, and it'll work for EVERYONE. I know, no thanks required. :) All you have to do is set ALL the graphics to low or off. Turn off all the special effects, every one of them, and Eve becomes MOSTLY playable.

Now, i haven't been able to fully test this since stumble/update 1.1.5, because now the client doesn't log in at all. I run the repair, and it says nothing is wrong, but Eve still won't connect. Actually, i had to UPDATE the repair app FIRST. Maybe some dev can explain how that resource sucking virus/updater, DOESN'T update ALL the Eve files?? IF the updater ran behind the scenes, as a TSR, THAT might be useful. An updater that doesn't update, is useless, like, the new inventory.

So, if I can't log in and top up my training ques, i get that time back, right? Loading up the skill que for a few extra days to be safe for a Tuesday patch is one thing, but daily patches, that are busted, 4 days later - hard to plan for, ESPECIALLY when the lag makes the game basically an IMAGE rather than something that can be interacted with. So, take your time :) Just make sure you compensate the players (you know, the people that PAY to play??) for all the setbacks YOU cause :)

T1 Minmitar ships are now colored too much like Amarr ships. The detail work is nice but I think the color is wrong, it should have been more copperish, like the old version.

CCP I have done my best with your new UI. I have even set up a new corp hanger similiar to what I had prior to this new UI debacle. I also set up a new ship hanger and a new item hanger so I do not have to deal with that horrible tree interface. However, this is where things get annoying, To have what I used to have now I get lag when I dock up or log on because of the worthless loot calculator you have. Make that optional or get rid of it because it is completely inaccurate. All it does now is add unwanted lag while serving no purpose in its present state.

Please rewrite the code so whenever I click the items tab I don't see my ships cargo hold. If I wanted to see that I would of clicked to see that. We are forced to try and get similar old UI usability back but in doing so are forced to get lag because of it. Lets be realisitc, if you want to know an items value all you have to do is view market details to see its worth which is far more accurate than that worthless loot calculator that does nothing but lag when you have tons of assets.

CCP, I don't know what you changed today but as soon as I load EVE. my GPU fans start going wild.
GPU usage shoots up to 99% on both of my GTX 580 3gb's...
GPU Memory Usage doesn't exceed 600mb, so it's not my in-game settings, which I haven't changed.
Performance was fine before today's patch.

I just logged in, and found that today's patch improved my fps to 80% of what it was before. It's playable for me now! Big smile

Thanks for the good work, keep it up!

Yes well said, and this is just one more indicator that most of the sucks praising this abomination of a Windows File Manager UI are obviously playing this game in a very limited way/ Perhaps if they tried out a few more aspects of the game like serious mishing etc, they might very well have a totally different opinion.

I have only one UI related request. When I loot a container in space, can the inventory window please close automatically? The UI opens because I'm taking something. Once it's taken, I don't really need to look my inventory.

I am trying to salvage right now. I used to be a very profitable ninja salvager before the Crucible overview changes screwed with my workflow. I have salvaged thousands of wrecks.

This new UI is absolutely terrible for salvaging. Atrocious. Embarrassingly bad.

Shame on you CCP. You guys really suck. It's beyond lousy that you guys have screwed up the UI this bad, and refuse to fix the real issues with it, instead trotting out Soundwaffe to tell us to read the Patch notes, like we're too stupid to do that or that what you're addressing in any way is one of the fundamental issues that were raised when this was on Sisi.

I like the game, but you've made it crappy to play. You're unaccountable to your players, and frankly, really incompetent based on how you have handled this, from testing, to patching. I don't know how else to express myself except I have time left on my subs, and I am considering starting a social media campaign to shame you into fixing your mess.

This isn't just me, it's hundreds of players with these issues. Fix it.

Tears will be shed and pants will need to be changed all round.

Not enjoying the muddy, ultra-dark Minmatar ship models at all. I understand that when all of the fancy graphics settings are turned up in a game, things usually look darker (more shadows, etc.), but what was done to the Minnie Fleet of Rust is visually unpleasant.

GPU: GTX560 Ti (latest drivers)

Lag: again

Stop touching whatever in that inventory stuff, at each patch you add more lag, not thank you for this. Can I get back my money for all the time I can't play or wasted behind the screen trying to play "Lag-On-Line" ?

Seriously, try to play on TQ some day, or should we move on to china/japan server?

Sorry to state that but...

China Server is down since a while. Thats why CCP added language support for chinese players so they have to play on tranquility.

They know they screwed up with the UI. And they are determined to get it fixed and don't care how much dev time it takes away from other things to do so. And I believed them. They have to. They know players are unhappy with it and they have the data to show it, feedback like the forums, petitions, bug reports and feedback from un-subbing players.

The old UI is NOT coming back or being rolled back. It is genuinely impossible to do so as so much other cool stuff in Inferno is built upon it. There was some other stuff mentioned about UI development which for the reasons I've already said I'm not going to repeat here. But I'm now confident that UI will be a suitable replacement for what we had before. It's just a matter of how long it will take.

...

An example from the history of EVE Online:

The "new shiny" ingame jukebox with added playlist support (introduced with "Dominion" in December 2009) was not working for me for more than 18 months since it hit TQ in unfinished/untested state until it was fixed silent without any further comment on the patchnotes in July 2011 (Incarna).

And as a personal sidenote from me:
The inventory is a way more important(!) part of the game and the new GUI is still in beta state. A huge drop in FPS with every
opened window. And multi boxing is a mess in the current state. And at this point i dont talk about the Unified Inventory, i point at the whole Graphical User Interface.

The buggy Jukebox in the past could easily be bypassed with OOG use of WinAmp. And now try to find a workaround for the laggy/buggy new GUI... There is none! Roll

Conclusion:
Its a shame for CCP to replace working stuff with new code that wasn't ready to release and untested from QA. Also there was no deadline to push it on TQ!

Also i am not willing to pay a subscription for all of my 4 active accounts for more than one year (more than €500) until the devs getting this mess fixed and working. Sorry...

Thanks for this, but what are we supposed to think, when Soundwaffe says in the last week, "look at the patch notes" and there isn't a damn thing on there that is a fundamental issue with the UI?

I mean, sure they want to fix it. Let's say I believe that. They aren't showing any indication that they even know what's wrong.

That is the entire problem. This culture of being stoic about their screwups is nonsense. It's also crazy that we need someone to go to a live event to report this stuff back to us because they are so miserable about communication with customers.

Thank you btw, you've added more value to this thread than anyone, player or CCP.
