Issues, Workarounds & Localization

I’m running 7 clients, never had a problem before. Now after updating all the clients "forget" the name of the account, they all used to remember their corresponding account name. And they also work fine for a while after launch, but i get a crippling slowdown. The slowdown doesn’t come with time; it seems it gets triggered after doing a system jump, but not every time.

As soon as the slowdown starts all clients become unplayable, and the only way around it is to logoff or quit the game.

Seems it’s NOT a problem with the hardware or the gfx of the game, rather something that runs almost every time i jump system. I say this because if it were a gfx problem it wouldn’t go away with a logoff with no restart.

The problem persists regardless of client graphic settings, cache clearing, toilet flushing, or incense burning.


Anyone else has this problem?


update:

This appears to be fixed on the current SiSi build. after one hour of flying around and jumping all the time, the client is stable.

if you have this bug on the live servers, please check SISI to see if the bug is fixed for you.

Yes same problem here, and it's not jumping because i'm sticking to 1 system and it just gets slower and slower to the point of being near unusable.

Same problems here with 3 clients. Framerate has dropped from a steady 60fps to a struggling 24-28fps.

This is now in a worse state than before the optimisations made in the last expansion. :(

Nothing seems to be bottlenecking. Plenty of free memory, cpu and gpu at < 40%

Edit: If I minimise the other two clients, the 3rd client returns to exactly 60fps like before. I dont notice any changes when jumping to/from different systems.

1 client runs at 70-150 fps. When i start second client (own folder on HDD) both clients (both window mode) drop to 2-10 fps. Awesome patch.

Someone post this in general discussion so it gets noticed.

I have the same problem, running to clients, and every time one client get a around a get my frame rate drops to around 3-4

+1 from me

I used to run two clients, two monitors, window mode with no issues, fairly consistent at 60fps. After this patch I was running some missions while salvaging on the other client and when NPCs were on grid my fps dropped to around 10-20fps until the NPCs were killed. This patch broke something.

Yep, had ~ 60 fps with my single client , and now it is almost 30 .

Same here, single-client with dual monitor in fixed-windows mode. Graphics card is AMD HD 6870, latest catalyst drivers.

Please look into this, the game is unplayable right now :(

Same issue here, and on only one client. Have all effects turned off, evreything set to low, and my FPS has dropped to ~30 while zoomed in. I get issues when I undock as well with my framerate dropped to like 5fps until I zoom in, move the camera around for a little bit and then zoom back out.

No idea what's going on, but this is really annoying and I frankly I don't care about graphical improvements if they **** all over my play experience (read: fps).
