Issues, Workarounds & Localization

Recently, not sure specifically after which patch, been busy with finals, but...

Now when I try to play the game I am experiencing lag when loading up a new system. I will jump through the gate, I can see the new area, I can type in the chat windows and see other people talking but I do not seem to be loading up the system I've just jumped into. I can right click and I have the drop down menu with all the pertinent local information for the new system (stations, stargates, bookmarks and such) but I cannot actually warp to anything. Approach/Align are on the menu but they don't actually do anything. Sometimes I jump through to a new system and there is no problem at all, it loads right up. Other times I will jump through and it will take anywhere from 20 seconds to well over a minute to load up. I don't know exactly how long it would have taken in some instances as I mostly live in Null and have no desire to sit there inert 15km off a gate waiting to die.

I've ruled out it being a problem with a specific zone as when I am in fleets nobody else experiences the problem.

Essentially the game is not playable for me in this current state. So, I'm willing to accept the monthly fees credited back to my account(S) for the duration of this new feature.

I am running Win7 64bit ultimate on an asus MB with an AMD phenom 3ghz quad core and 8gb of RAM. There isn't a single Intel chip on my rig.

I do run multiple accounts at the same time and to diffuse this as the scapegoat ahead of time, I've been doing that for years and never encountered that problem.

I have no other stability issues or discrepencies once the zone has loaded, everything is fine. As I mutli box it is weird that one account will experience the issue and another may not.

I will follow up with dxdiag when I get home from work.

I have this problem as well.

I just noticed it last night and it's a real PITA when trying to PvP. Thankfully no losses due to this issue thus far. Have there been any changes in the Crucible update that would cause this issue?

I have the same, it appears to be everytime a new skybox is loaded ie changing regions and certain constellations.
It probably is an ATI card thing as the only people i know who have the issue use them cards.

Yah this is continuing to happen and I am on Nvidia as well.

I don't quite know what to say in the bug report as there appear to be a lot of variables as to why and when this seems to be happening. For instance, I had no issues travelling around in my ships in low/null/high sec today - whereas the other day it appeared to struggle to load systems with a lot of people in them.

Today as soon as I got agression and had shield/armor damage + overheating damage, jumping into a system with one other person in it (from 0.0 to low) had a delay in loading the environment. However in both instances I was engaged in combat prior to this issue emerging.

This is getting to the point where it's becoming unplayable especially during PvP situations. I am still testing out different Gfx settings but I never had issues like these in the past and only appeared after the latest Crucible update.

Any thoughts or ideas would be helpful...

Is there any progress on this issue at all?

This is making the game quite unplayable and there is no replies from the technical support...

Any feedback from the bug report?

This means that CCP know about the bug. Right now many people from CCP are away so it might take over a week before this issue will be looked at.

I've been having the same issue as well its completely random for me I tried clearing my cache and it seemed to fix it but I cleared my cache twice last night and I still had the same issue. What makes it worse is I will be fine for an hour or so then I will randomly have delays at gates for 1-5 minute waiting for the system to load. This only started happening after the last few patches.

P.S. I am using an EVGA video card.

this has started to happen to me now since the last patch

bump!

I have now reinstalled the EVE client in order to ensure that there were no potentially corrupt files since the last patch.

I first attempted to run Repair.exe, which did not work. It downloaded a 3gb file and reverted me to EVE: Incarna which did not have eve.exe and failed to launch as a result. I then uninstalled the whole game and re-downloaded it from the EVE web site.

Thus far the game has been running smoothly and there did not appear to be any load lag between systems/constellations/regions. However, I have had insufficient time to test this fully as sometimes this lag dissapears for a while on re-log or computer restart. I will undertake more thorough testing today and determine whether the issue is still there or has been resolved.

If people have the time/patience to try this and test it out, go for it. Otherwise watch this space, I will update you later today.
