Test Server Feedback

This is probably know, but I'll post it nevertheless:

I just freshly installed SiSi client (by making a copy of my TQ client and applying the appropriate patch). So there are no settings at all associated with the client. I then started it, went into options to change video settings.
When changing from "Window mode" to "Fixed window" (same resolution) and simultaneously set ui scaling to 90%, I got this upon clicking "apply":

I then wen't on to change the language to english, resulting in this "Question":

I then exited the settings, entered my login info and since I forgot to disable the intro video it started to play. Unfortunately it looked like this:

I don't mind much as this is my (really slow) laptop, it might even be below eve's stated requirements. Since I don't know that for sure I thought I'd post it anyway...

Happens randomly to me. Every few minutes in CQ or when un-/docking.

ATI Mobility Radeon HD 3870 graphics cards running in ATI's CrossFireX configuration running into graphical issues. random graphics all over the place in full screen mode. can only play on the sisi server in windowed mode. most likley due to no updated codecs since the card is no longer supported. any help with this or am i just boned? and yes trying to update it with custom codec does not work.

This is for the latest version 311120 client on SiSi, most of this are not really bugs or gamebreaking, just for your info.

Downloaded and patched a new copy of TQ (version 306979)

First problem the client started in windowed mode and even opening the [Esc] menu and setting to ‘Fullscreen’ then [Apply] still make the client start in ‘windowed’ mode.

Undocked my Helious in Gallente space, spinning the ship is still very juddery, the ship is ok but the background spins in small jerks.
The ship is now very shiny and has a very nice gold shimmery effect from the reflection of the near by Nebula.

When trying to re-dock I had to blot out the sun with the ship so I could see the station when parked at my warpout point, the light was overwhelming.

The station jittered very badly when viewed from about 30 Km out if the ship was rotated, again the ship seems fine it’s just the station and background that jitters.

After docking the ship spinning jittered, resulting in somewhere about 10 short jumps for each 360 deg rotation.

FPS;
With interval immediate set;
180 with starfield/ background
200 in front of a beautiful nebula
120/140 when warping
161 when parked in my hanger.

Changed to CQ view;
FPS dropped to 68/80 with a large square wave showing on the FPS monitor.
GPU temp went up to 71 deg C
Fan speed went up from 1100 to 1350 rpm
CPU topped out at 40% load on all 4 cores.

So, avatar landed facing the ship (well done).
New Gallente CQ looks super, love the curved balcony, carpets on the floor, the spotlight shining on the station name over the door and the glass effect on the circular disk in the room. I did think if I stood on it would it beam me to my ship as it looks sort of Star Trek like with the matching dome in the roof.

Odd things;
Opening my wallet shows the total balance at the top right but the number is delimited with ‘.’ (full stops) and not ‘,’ (commas) as is normal for UK users (and I believe USA as well).

Journal still has the ‘balance’ isk column left not right justified like all the other currency columns.

The ‘Transactions’ column did not [Load] even after waiting quite some time.

Back to Hanger view and changed the interval to default.

GPU temp dropped back to below 60 deg very quickly
Fan speed reduced to 1200 rpm and below.
CPU load down to 15% average for all 4 cores.

Changed to my Orca
Warp drive was offline when I undocked

The right click on space background menu was unsorted, this was always alpha sorted, made finding my customs office much fun as they were mixed in with warp points etc.

That’s about it, thanks for a super update so far.

- Occasionally, the camera in the hangar view is NOT centered on the ship but slightly offset, i.e. spinning is eccentric. I couldn't find any way to reproduce consistently, tho. First time it happened was after changing UI scaling. EDIT: In fact the camera is centered, it's the ship that is placed off-center.

- The client forgets that I had set fullscreen mode after exiting and restarting, reverting to windowed.

- Every time I change window mode, it asks me to confirm changing the UI scaling, even if it wasn't changed.

- I am also experiencing choppy camera movement in space. Do note that its not only the camera movement itself, but also the HUD, noticeable for instance when you accelerate with MWD. The only setting that alleviated (but didn't completely remove) the issue was using windowed mode instead of fullscreen. All other settings, including interval mode, AA, etc., had no effect.

- Radeon HD6950 2GB, tested with Catalyst 11.9 and 11.10
- 27" 2560x1440 monitor

Had the same choppy camera movement and changing interval settings did not change it for me. Also my videocard is getting fried again so cannot stay on sisi longer then a few minutes. Temperatures going to 100 degrees and rising, that is in space with setting on quality not even trying out captains quarters. On tranquility max setting it hits 90 degrees at most after hours of playing.
In station with CQ off, I need to change settings to performance for being able to see anything.

Hi, after some testing I wish to report some issues:

-Nex clothing do not appear in character customization window.
-Impossible to open English Help channel, it opens like an empty window with no title.
-Impossible to close private chat windows and English Help channel.
-Choppy camera, but smooth animations when not moving the camera. Either in windowed/full screen mode with all to high level. *
-Choppy mouse pointer. Either in windowed/full screen mode with all to high level*
-The mouse pointer stutters also when I do not minimize the game window and open another app/window.*
-Drones randomly stop/resume fighting on the same target.

*After some graphic detail tweaking I found a good balance between good quality/good performance. Diabling HDR greatly improved the performance, disabling shadows helped me too. Unfortunately I have to give up some nice graphic options... but hey! I'm running Eve on a Nvidia 8600GT

The overall performance is good, no difference from Tranquillity. Loading times still too long for CQ. Ne nebulae system is fantastic.
With shader quality set to "high" the metal material of the ships becomes a little too dark. Go on CCP and give us the new BC's textures!!!! :P

EDIT:
sometimes Aafter hitting the undock button, the client freezes: all windows disappear, the ship continues to float in the hangar view and I have to CTRL-ALT-DEL to close the client.

Not sure if this is about the above, it dosen't fail to download as I can still login but it has to keep downloading it every start-up meaning the login time is extended.
