Missile trails looking like dashed lines

Hello fellow capsuleers,

I'm having a problem with my missile trails. They look like https://www.dropbox.com/s/jrg68pvn5gc0s1e/2017.05.29.16.35.14.png and nothing seems to help, so I'm wondering if anyone has seen something like this before and possibly found a solution.

I've contacted the support people, tried all kind of settings, both high and low. I've cleared the cache and re-installed EVE from a freshly downloaded installer. Everything else seems to work graphicswise, ship trails and all.

I tried to search the forums for similar problems and found only some people not seeing the trails at all. Launching with DX9 seemed to help them but sadly it didn't solve this.

My PC is an old rig, still running Vista and GTX295 but I find it hard to believe that would be the problem, since everything else runs and looks just fine.

Any ideas or solutions would be more than welcome.

A little update to this issue after testing and lots of coffee.

Seems like if I switch Multi-GPU to Single-GPU for EVE from NVIDIA Control Panel, the trails are a whole lot better. Still not perfectly smooth and continuous - which I don't know if it should be in the first place - but definitely an improvement. I can actually follow the path and see smoke as well. So, yeah... maybe that solved it or at least equals to a workaround I can live with.
