Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I'm having this problem as well. Mac client, OS X 10.6.8, Intel processor. This issue only happens when opening containers in space, not while docked. The relevant log entries generated by opening containers are all along these lines: clicky


Painful to watch, isn't it?

After todays patch the looting does seem to be a lil more 'smoother' ie, it doesnt freeze the client, still a slight delay

I have the same issue since large 1.1 patch few days ago. And i am already using a SSD, and I will not wait till August for this beeing fixed, its horrible to loot and salvage :/

pardon?
what about cashing up in the memory? or with a delayed write or some kind?!

would be insane to use defrag every week because EVE is messing up the HD fragmentation

I have a better idea... Give us the old UI back no one likes this new POS.

If this is a game code problem, why isn't everyone seeing this behaviour? And how can CCP Optimal NOT be seeing this?

Turn on the in-game FPS monitor and loot something. Guarantee you'll see an FPS drop during the loot action.

FYI, Running 3 clients on 1 installation.

Inferno 1.1.1~1.1.2
Looting becames a problem where loading (shift-double click) wrecks contents in a new window will cause lag of 1~3 seconds for each additional can/wrecks opened.

The lag of 1~3 seconds then will also happen at "every single" occurrences when I press the Loot All button, seems something is wrong with the transfer of contents from one entity to another during this process.

Inferno 1.1.3
Seems to have solved the issue above, no extensive testing done, but I do not feel the lag

Inferno 1.1.5
The lag is back with this patch, so issue still not resolved


My system is 2.5 years old, I can't get the log server working with multiple clients on 1 installation. It keeps crashing. Remember though, most of us here have not a single lag issue prior to Inferno expansion regardless of our system setups.

I already have Eve running on SSD, so the suggestion of defrag is not a good idea for me and does not apply, thus, the problem has still eluded you (CCP) and therefore I hope you find a solution for us ASAP, because the gaming experience is pretty horrid atm with all the un-anticipated lags popping up everywhere.

EDIT: I cannot speak for everyone, but I believe the majority here will agree with this is what we're experiencing (sorry, don't like frapping)

This is what the FPS graph is showing the issue (you may have already seen it) with interval 1 on, steady at 60FPS normally

---　---　---　---　---　--- ( < == normal FPS up in the sixties or hundreds depend on setting)
　---　---　---　---　--- ( < == where you get abysmal FPS drop every time you press loot or opens up a wreck)

Fill in the gaps with imaginary vertical lines and you see my poor attempt to make a graph (yay, everybody loves graphs)

Off Topic:
In the culture where I worked before, it's not uncommon when the company asked people to take forced vacation, what's common is that after the forced vacation, they asked those very ppl to not having to come back and redundant them straight away.

On Topic:
Anyway, this issue is very much hurting the bearz community who do missions + looting/salvaging for a living (and enjoyments perhaps) which I suspect is a rather significant portion of the Eve playerbase (say...15% ~ 20%? just guessing), you are making the game unplayable for us for whatever reason (yes, my wife doesn't bother logging in since Inferno saves from just updating skill queues, most of her activities has been severely disrupted and game deem unplayable). I hope you (CCP) is not telling us here that we're here to endure at least another 1~2 months of no real fun gameplay (yes yes, I have done other things such as exploration, but I don't always have time to play and HiSec L4 is a very relaxed way for me to kill the limited leasure time I have while keeps a steady stream of game income to keep up with my in-game spendings).

I play Eve because it's supposed to be a game where I can do whatever I like when I wanted to, I do not like it when a certain play style is being forced or imposed on me because some features were changed or broken or deemed the only suitable way for the players to play from the service provider's own perspectives.

I sincerely hope you find the fixes for many of the problems induced by the latest expansion (IMHO, the worst post-expansion experience I've ever had since my almost 4 years of playing)

Will do once I get on later, if the opportunity to loot a lot presents itself--people, it appears that you've got a severe memory-leak here that didn't exist before--like, 'sup with this?

I use SSD, but I have 0.5 sec delay with opening loot window and up to 1 sec delay after I press "Loot all". It looks like Inventory window updates all tabs in inventory and updates all icons from hard drive - which is not bad for my SSD vertex3 or 2500k processor, but awful texture updates for 9800GT videocard.

And proposition:
I use Shift Click on Fuel bay tab - and it always displayed in another window where ever I place it - very useful. Make the same option for Wreck and Cargo tabs. Then there will not be any updates in client for whole inventory after pressing "loot all", and it will be nicely resized to the place each capsuliers would like to see.
