Player Features and Ideas Discussion

My GPU can keep a steady framerate, but listening to the fans ramp up to literally 3 times their normal speed as soon as I land in an anomaly or something is not amusing. Given that I use a rather expensive GPU, and that that GPU is overclocked by a very decent percentage I'd hate to imagine what it's like for other people who don't spend stupid amounts of money on their PC.

Same here, literally goes from 60% to 100% fan speed and it's so loud. I hate it.

Yeah, and we still want all of the graphics options to be expanded upon quite a bit. They're about to do a phenomenal job with sound options when Kronos drops, so I would say that more graphics options is a reasonable next step.

I think this was to reduce the amount of people that run missions. Be a miner or gate camper like lots of other people and your graphic issues go away. Unless asteroid shadowing does he same thing...

So how do i turn off clouds without turning off all effects?

I would respond by saying that they tied it in with a bunch of other effects that have 0 impact on my performance that I don't want to remove from the game. I would also note that we're not asking for quality settings of the clouds, we're not asking to adjust the type of shader used on them. We just want them gone. It's a simple request, and it shouldn't even be something we have to request. Clouds just need to be fixed period, the performance drop is ridiculous.

250 ships on grid outside Jita doing all sorts of ******** crap? 60 FPS.

Getting within firing distance of every ship within a blockade mission and zooming in on my ship so that every hit fills the screen? 60 FPS.

Forcing Eve into 4k resolution and downscaling to 1080p to take some orgasmic screenshots? 60 fps.

One gas cloud? A jetliner with one engine blown lands inside my PC case immediately (less than 2 seconds for the fans to ramp up) and my FPS drops to the mid 20's.

Look away from the gas cloud to empty space? 60 FPS and the fans calm down immediately.

Look at the gas cloud again? My GPU does this.

It's not normal, it stresses my hardware with unnecessary and ludicrously sudden large jumps in voltage, and it's only going to become more of an issue as the game continues to progress graphically. It should be addressed now, not ignored until it becomes a game-breaking unintended consequence after something else is changed.

They don't? Strange. I only connect to EVE using a telnet client and using these CCP approved commands:

dock obj
undock
setOverView OVSetting
getOverView
dScan [obj | alpha,beta,gamma] range angle
approach obj | alpha,beta,gamma
orbit obj range
keepAtRange obj range
setSpeed percentage
warpTo obj range
jump obj
target obj
untarget obj
activateModule slot cycles
getAttributes obj

Exploration is a bit though, but using a MJD gets way easier.

Typical carebear request.
Awww, are the clouds and fogs too much for you? Do you need mommy to hold your hand because the lag is just oh so unbearable? I am sick and tired of you pansies coming here with your pussified opinions, trying to change our wonderful game because you can't grow a pair and HTFU.


I hope you see what I'm doing here.
