Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I think it has something to do with tabbing out of the game while in space. I'm not 100% sure on this yet (therefore no bug report written yet), but it seems similar to WiS: When you're not in the game while the station environment is loading, the game won't draw your character.

Edit:
Seen the static warp distance remaining too, but it's not consistent (sometimes there's no effect but it's still counting). So this might be a different issue.

I get this issue without alt-tabbing unfortunately.

As do I

i keep encountering this 'warp effect not showing' bug, no matter what settings i use (normally i keep them at optimal quality preset) , i only use single client, but ive seen it happen often no matter what setting is on/off, regardless of having alt-tabbed or not, sometimes it shows up many times in a row, sometimes it doesnt, i cant find any particular pattern. when i can ill get to filing an official bug report on this

i beleive it was introduced during incursion and has annoyed me since, previously the warp bubble effect would always show up consistently

Everyone who is having this problem should read this post and do exactly what it says.



It's imperative to include the DxDiag and Logserver files. The more we submit these files, the easier it will become to resolve the issue.

Still happening to me randomly.

Mid-2007 24" 2.8GHz iMac, 4GB RAM, ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro 256MB VRAM, OS X 10.6.8

Everyone having this problem should also see if it also occurs on Singularity. (So far, the warp tunnel has been present in every warp I've done in Singularity.)

Also, it's a good excuse to check out the new CQs.

If the problem still shows up, definitely submit a bug report with your settings, Dxdiag, and logserver data.

I got pretty much what's in the OP. I send a report yesterday, with DXDiag file, settings screenshot, and log.
Good luck.

Hello CCP,

This is also an issue for me across 4 different computers, all with different hardware and graphics settings. One is a new 27inch MAC, this one is an Athlon X2 with an AMD card, my work machine is running the latest quad intel proc and an 8800GTX card... you get the picture, I am 100% sure it is not hardware related (if that helps).

Here is my take on it:

I believe this has to be to do with the player moving the camera before activating the warp. If you undock from a station, do not move the camera even 1 pixel, right click on something in the overview and warp you see the bubble every time, if you move the camera even slightly, I don't see the bubble.

That is the same symptom across all 4 machines (the fourth is a laptop) and I can recreate it every time, as I always move the camera around it sucks to be me since I no longer see the nice warp effect (ever) and it really detracts from the immersion of the game. It doesn't matter if you are undocking from a station or just arriving out of a gate or what, once you have moved the camera, no more warp bubbles for you!

Please fix it, the warp bubble was always a little bit sporadic when I used to play, now I genuinely never see it, and it sucks, the warp effect is a real part of eve for me as it gives you the feeling you are powering through space, without it you just get to look at your stationary ship all the time and its pretty crap :P

EDIT: Think how many new players are coming to eve and don't even know the warp effect exists? I tried eve because I saw my friend playing and thought it looked ace *because* of the effect!

I agree with everything Fox said, I also believe moving/zooming the camera is the most likely cause. The entire warp tunnel effect could probably do with a total overhaul in any case, when it did work you would often get it sideways. Its sorely missed.
