EVE General Discussion

This is a nightmare of an update. You guys are really doing it wrong.

I have 3 clients on which i run eve online

The first one i install this on is a laptop at work that does not start up or open anything after the patching is complete. I only see a black screen and that is the end of it
I have to CTRL-ALT-DELETE it to get my laptop back working again
This morning the launcher started by downloading an update and then crashed again after launching the program
All i see is a black screen of nothing

I have installed the new launcher om my second system, that did manage to start up but only to find the client to be EXTREMELY slow (on a VERY good PC) and after setting all the graphic details to an absolute minimum i get some performance out of it

The third computer i have installed the new launcher on just downloaded the new launcher and then nothing happened
I saw the launcher window, but the progress indicator bar did not start for 15 minutes
I have reset the computer and restarted the eve client and only received the error message that i will paste under this message
This is actually on a 8 core, 8GB memory, full SSD machine that is probably the fastest around on the consumer market at the moment. It just crashes horribly

Now guys, pleas don't give me that S**T about me having to re-download the whole program, adjusting my settings etc... etc... and your whole arrogant attitude of "our clients are doing it wrong"
I actually am CEO / CTO of a large internet company and currently in charge of a large scale IT department. I know what i am talking about when it comes to releasing updates / new software

Releasing stuff that manages to crashes 3 different machines is a major error and a very very very good example of failing programmers / coding.

Working like this is an insult to your loyal customers that already have to put up with crashing servers, time dilation, captain quarters that NOBODY want etc.. etc..

Managment at CCP, take up your responsibility and reorganise your company. Roll back this error and use your common sense. Don't let your IT department be so powerfull that it can ruin your business.

Nope, sorry, no problems at all, if anythign I am getting less problems than ever.

no problems for me either, being the CEO of a large IT company I'm sure you'll be able to find out whats wrong.

Well guys, it is nice that your machines are working fine, but i am not making this up.
3 different machines, 3 different ways of crashing.

If your client is working fine then i would suggest you go back to your mining in highsec dayjob.

I've not had a crash but there is definitely a loss of performance associated with the launcher - when you couple the resources which the launcher needs with the resources which are needed by CQ (which is the first thing any new player will see) you are looking at potentially a very poor first impression of performance of EVE.

What is wrong is that things should actually just work. Putting respnsibilty for the correct execution of your programs in the hands of your customers is considered to be insulting in a professional environment.

And you are insulting yourself but writing another emo **** me I am baby boo and need you to hold my hand post.
And all those remark of how big company CEO are you... Well **** you noob! Apparently you don;t know shot and operate from your moms basement! ******* tool

Warking flawlessly on 4 accounts and I don't know crap about computers.

Saw one fellow in the help channel earlier today complaining about very slow client performance. Claimed to have a degree in computer science. Why is it only 'experts' have such problems and average users dont?

Worked perfectly for me

Once you get the splash up, go to the tools Icon, top right.

In there you will find a start up option and you can set to close when EVE launches and Only open for updates.

I clicked them both and EVE launches the same as it did pre1.5 and like you, the game is slow now. Ilogged in earlier and there were around 18K on, I moved a character 18 jumps over 4 regions and every system, the load time was 2 minutes+ for overview. After getting to the station I wanted to be in, I couldn't use the market, couldn't view my wallet, was being dropped 3 times average every 10 minutes.

I don't know what they did but it isn't "working as intended". Unles they intended to force us all to dock up and not play for a week.
