Since about Rubicon Ive been getting a bug from time to time that my overview completely disappears and my FoV increases drastically. Usually it lasts until the next gate jump, sometimes two systems or three.
I thought it might be some issue with my graphics card but one of the guys I roam with started having the same issues.
Anyone experience the same bug?
I run the latest graphics driver, my card is the GTX 560 Ti.

EDIT
My OS is Windows 8.1 x64 but I had Windows 7 x64 until yesterday.

I'm experiencing the exact same thing. Makes roams very painful.

I have the same issue, as much fun as a 180~ FOV is, losing the overview is quite literally a killer!

I experience this issue typically when my connection degrades. Bad wireless and all.

It might simply be a moment of lag.

Recommendations:

-enable ships wobbling in hangar view (pre-Captains Quarters)

-add more missions (NPC fleet vs. NPC fleets that actually shoot)

-STOP NERFING EVERYTHING!

I have seen this bug more consistently when the client I'm using performs a jump while minimized.

Thankfully this bug is no longer accompanied by the far more serious problem of a completely blank overview.

Jumping systems seems to be a solution to this bug, but not docking - I have a notion that initiating a new, unhindered jump animation is what reverts the camera.

Also get this on a regular basis. Quite often accompanied with a blank overview. Docking does appear to fix it.

Off topic, I see a continually degrading connection since main Rubicon release. As time goes by, jumps take longer and longer, latency effects appear to be far more intense and eventually I get stuck between systems in a perma doctor who tunnel.

Multiboxing compounds the issues.

Suspect it's very much a GPU connected issue.

I'm using an ageing 460GTX Nvidia card. Am wondering about GPU loading / recent driver releases and whether the recently installed "NVidia Experience Tool" is the root of all evils here.

Will report back some findings when I get a chance to play around with things over the holidays.

Please fix this. It makes the game near unplayable for me.

Hello, can we get a dev to take a look at this?

Confirmed it isnt as extreme as it was now, but I still get the bug in lesser forms. Mostly its just the fow shift and sometimes blank overview tabs. It is still frequent though and a gatejump seems to solve the issue.

getting nigh on 60% of jumps thru gates forcing this "fish eye" effect.

Confirm this is happening to me as well, multiboxing so happening on numerous accounts.

This one is back for me on a regular basis. Used to fix itself by docking and undocking. Now it doesn't. Requires me to log off and on again.

I've found this occurs more frequently when using >1 client. Note I have a 2nd screen running at a different res from my primary screen.It does still occur when using a single client though so unsure if related.

I did move to using the DX9 option from the launcher which seemed to clear the issue prior to last patch.

'Fish Eye' bug, nice description of the fault at hand :)

It happens to me too quite regularly, very annoying and can't really do much while it's like that.

Docking and undocking doesn't fix the problem but jumping to a new system usually resets it back to normal view in space.

Please fix!

From the Rubicon 1.3 patch notes:

Quote:
Modified the jumpgate transition to eliminate distorted fisheye camera effects after jumpgate travel.

I got hit with this recently (3/10/2014) while flying my interceptor. It happened very suddenly, jumping the next gate made it disappear but I can't for the life of me repeat the bug.

Just confirming its happening rarely for me. Nvidia GTX 770, w/ version 331.65 Drivers.
