Issues, Workarounds & Localization

As stated above, I have already submitted a bug report containing logs from logserver.exe.

I am still experiencing constant freezes which make any sort of sensible play a complete impossibility.

The freezes happen whenever there is anything more than just my ship on screen. The more objects there are, or the larger the objects are, the more severe the problem becomes. Undocking and jumping are horrendous.

When undocking it's a full minute before I have any control of my ship or can move my camera to see the situation outside the station.

Edit: I should add that altering my settings for optimal performance via the Esc menu makes absolutely no difference.

Ok, I've had another go.

I did a few re-runs of the sequence represented by one of the logs I sent you.

During this time the overall system CPU usage did not go above 27%. During the events that cause the worst freezes (undocking/jumping) it did not exceed 9%.

The highest levels were when selecting an overview item or clicking a command in the selected item box.

Clearing the cache was the first thing I tried - made no difference whatsoever.

Ok I updated my graphics drivers to latest from AMD, ran EVE client repair tool, and cleared the caches. I was able to play a little longer and kill a few rats on the mission I was on, but within about 10 minutes of play time it went right back to freezing again. After 2-3 freezes I was able to warp out to station. Then it froze again in the station, and caused my PC to BSOD.

Incredibly frustating...

Have you changed hard drives lately, or added one? I have this happenning infrequently when one of my 3 drives go into "sleep mode" and stops spinning. When it spools back up, it freezes the game for a few seconds, and when both do it one after the other, it can last up to 10 seconds.

Cheers.

I too have submitted a bug report with this same exact issue.

I have tried clearing my cache. Nothing.

I have tried completely reformatting my system, since all my drivers were up to date anyway and reinstalled EvE. Nothing.

I have tried clearing my cache AFTER reformatting. Nothing.

I have tried deleting that file that some people recommended in my User's Eve folder. Nothing.

I have tried, oh it's useless, I'll wait for yall to get back to me.

3-4 second freezes every 20-30 seconds, unless more objects are on grid and it will freeze every 3-4 seconds for 3-4 seconds. But I play on! Because I refuse to let this issue stop me from stomping all those who oppose the CFC.

No screenshot required. Just turn off your monitor and unplug your mouse and keyboard every 5 seconds for 5 seconds to realize how annoying this is. Especially while floating many multiple accounts... zzzz

It's been like this for a few patches now.

Thanks!

If it's something outside of the Eve client it's an amazing coincidence that it started with the implementation of the Rubicon 1.3 patch.

[Edit] Are you saying that you are no longer working on a fix for this? If so, I'll have no option but to leave Eve and get a refund of my wasted subscription.

I was hoping to avoid that after the trauma of resetting everything after the previous time I was asked to do it.

It made no difference on that occasion and it has made no difference this time.

I can see no reference to renaming anything in the guide you linked and have no idea how to do it. I cleared my settings via the Esc menu.

It seems to me that whatever is causing this is buried somewhere in the Rubicon 1.3 patch.

Here are my gamelogs from just before and just after the patch:

Everything was fine when I logged out, switched off my computer and went to bed.

When I switched back on again I downloaded the patch and logged in to Eve - the freezing was immediately apparent.

Bump.

Massive lockups still happening. 5 to 10 seconds at a time, every 10 seconds or so.

Cleared cache, ran the repair tool.

Only happens when enemies are on the grid. Especially when spawn occurs.

Monitored disk usage on an SSD, never much used, the remained of the system works flawlessly.

CPU never above around 20%, memory at 35%. Tried min, medium, max graphics settings, including turning resource caching on and off.

No other games or programs suffering from this sort of lockup.

Feels like some bad code executing on loading and positioning enemies, perhaps textures or shadows, though that should be flawless with dx9/11.

So who knows, definitely something wrong with the eve client, not the machine, OS or internet.
