Overview not refreshing ranges and speeds.

Several of my friends and I have been experiencing overview issues where the Speed and range get stuck and do not undate as a ship moves around the grid. I have filed a bug report but was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this problem.

Please could someone tell me if its a server side issue or is there something we can do to stop it happening to us in combat.

Had the same issue myself last night. The last time this bug showed up it was more consistent, like every time I jumped into a new system it would lock up speed and range columns, required a patch to fix so I am not sure if that was a server-side patch or client side. Hopefully this gets fixed before it costs me another ship.

Yes. I've had the same thing happen several times. This has cost me a Daredevil, several Manticores and a Cerberus.

Sometimes warpable objects or bookmarks also don't respond. It is very frustrating. I've stopped popping in implants because of this garbage. This has been an issue since 3+ patches ago actually.

When you lose your ship to those circumstances CCP will also NOT reimburse you your ship as "they can't tell wtf happened."

I can guarantee you the overall client lagginess has something to do with it. Ever since Incarna was put out with that UI upgrade, it has been absolute garbage. CCP said it'd be an improvement, but it appears absolutely NOTHING has improved with the UI. It has just gotten 200% laggier.

This problem needs to be looked at asap, knowing the range and speed of an enemy ship is pretty damn critical to pvp in this game, wheather its someone soloing in a vaga, or an FC calling targets we need to be able to rely on the overview to deliever accurate information.

It seems this issue doesn't have many threads or mentions in this forum, are the devs and bug hunters aware of the problem? I've seen players get very upset because of this issue, ships lost to it can't be reinbursed because it isn't an obvious error that would show in logs.

I experience this problem on a regular basis.

Besides the overview completely freezing up, it also lags by 30-40 seconds on a much more frequent basis. I would estimate that about in 50% of the fights I get into I experience this in one form or another. This is not isolated to large fleet engagements, the vast majority of the time I encounter this is with less than 30 ships on grid.

This has started ever since they did that CarbonUI update on the Eve Client and every subsequent update seems to just make things worse.

I have the following setup:

Intel QX9650 @ 3.0 GHz
Nvidia 780i SLI motherboard
8GB of DDR-800
2x Nvidia GTX280
75GB 10,000rpm OS drive
1TB Data Drive
Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit

and a solid AT&T ADSL connection at 6Mbps/512Kbps sitting behind a DIR-655.

There should be no reason for Eve to be causing problems.

I also have another similar setup at work, with a 20Mbps/5Mbps connection, that has the same exact UI lagginess issues.

IF all these improvements have been done to the core structure of the Eve cluster, then the client is NOT seeing those benefits AT ALL. Any and or all ship loses due to this lag should be reimbursable!

Happens to me too.
