Issues, Workarounds & Localization

The only way I can reliably avoid this issue is NEVER to minimize or alt-tab out of Eve.

I other words, I start Eve and must run the game ONLY until I am done playing.

I cannot use my alts. I cannot use my computer at all, other than to run Eve.

If I need to start a different voice program, I must exit Eve, start the voice program
and restart Eve.

This is very frustrating.

XP SP3

In regards to this issue, I haven't had the screen UI disappearing nearly as often with the fixed window fit.

I have however, had a lot of issues with the screen flickering something furious when I have two clients running.

I am not sure how this relates to the UI disappearing, but it is almost just as bad as the entire ui disappearing when you are fighting stuff.

It flickers so badly that it goes white or it makes in unplayable.

Are you using WinXP Kopfy? The CC/second screenshot looks like our issue. The first one is very difficult to be able to tell if it is the problem or a mixture of problems.

The fix should be on Singularity later today. (In about an hour from now)
I would advise people to give it a go, testing on singularity is easy if you have the HDD space for another EVE installation. You can use your existing EVE install so you have minimal download.

By the way folks, it's up on Singularity. Let me know if you decide to test it out :)

Wooo. I really hope it holds. I still can't reproduce internally on our XP machines.

Me too!

Where you able to reproduce the issues I was describing?

When I switched to Fixed Window, it for the most part eliminated the issues with the UI disappearing, but it caused the client to flicker something furious.

It was on and off flickering, and when it was on, would get to the point where it would flicker so badly the screen would go white.

Also when you run multiple instances, it seems something is broken and it forces you to automatically zoom in on every object you click on. This is also random and happens when two or more clients are working. But one client will work fine, where as the other one, say I click on an SMA, the game will zoom in on that object, rather than just selecting it and me having to hit "look at".

Yep. Can't play without that fix.

CCPs right hand doesn't know what what the left one is doing. Th gave me - It was fixed answer when it's clearly wasn't.

Petitioned for refund for the time I can't play.

Haven't tried on SiSi yet but can tell you I'm still having the same issue on TQ. I've noticed that I can sometimes bring the windows back by clicking where my Overview is supposed to be, or... this is the weird part, if something in the Overview changes, such as my drones kill a rat, the windows will return until something else happens or if I click on the selected item window.

Have a bug report filed with all of my specs and the appropriate files, just wanted to share tonights observation.

Well, after approx. 30 minutes of testing on SISI the UI is still there. Although, while there is hope that this bug has been fixed, different one appeared, and is equally annoying. Textures on many ships are not loading (even after re-starting the client) in hangar, in space, even on "Ships" tab. Changing graphic settings doesn't help.
While in space, the engine fire is visible, so are turrets.

Same problem as everyone else, Window's XP SP3 ofcourse.

But I've switched to windowed mode and hit "maximize", The blue bar at the top is only a minor annoyance compared to before when the UI would completely disappear before I even had the chance to alt-tab =P

It may not be desirable but everyone here may find that work around less frustrating(AND PLAYABLE =D) then continuing with the current situation of "log out roulette"(Tell you what.. Its nerve racking to have the UI go -poof- while nav'ing through 0.0).

Hope it helps.
