I still have an odd low fps bug. I get low fps in some solar systems, but not others. For example, in Urlen, my fps is fine. But as soon as I jump into Sirppala, my fps drops to 4. Urlen has 40 players in it, Sirppala; 15.

This happens in other systems too, and its always the same systems. Sometimes it there everywhere in a solar system (example: Jita). Sometimes its localized. For example in Sirppala, the Urlen gate is bad, but at the Anttiri gate, its fine. But after jumping into Anttiri, my fps again drops to 4. In Anttiri, it stays low everywhere.

This is not intermittent in time, Its always the same locations in the same solar systems.

Graphics turned about as far down as I can get them, "download everything" is on.

Some days ago I have sent a bug report because of crazy high CPU activity and heat generation during the hacking mini game.

With todays small patch (May, 10th) the heat generation is extended to every undock. Exactly: some seconds or one jump after a station or citadel undock. The cooling fan starts to take speed until maximum, hot air is blown out of the computer and a bit later the system shuts down the CPU and the game starts with permanent and significant lagging - unplayable in any PvP situation!
Heat generation stops some seconds after docking.
This behavior is perfectly reproducible.

Setup: Macmini, 2,3GHz i7, 8 GB ram, OSX 10.11.6, intel HD graphics 4000, screen 1920x1080
ingame graphic setting for structure details at medium and all other graphic settings at either low or off.

With this effects EVE is little to no fun to play. I'm afraid of damaging my computer in the long run.
I love this game, but I will not risk my computer for it!
Please fix this.
Thank you.

No, sorry - there are news:
The CPU heat is back! The same intensity as before, now it is while belt- or anomalies-ratting!
Crazy CPU usage, crazy heat → crazy lag!
Unplayable.

Been noticing a lot more lag on the system of late... going to try to remember to file my log lite files for CCP Snorlax. I used to be really stable, but not I'm getting a crash once or twice a week on my main account (doesn't seem to effect my multi-boxed accounts)
