Issues, Workarounds & Localization

So, I don't have a rocket ship for a machine, but i can comfortably run 9 or 10 clients on it. Only had a couple clients logged on yesterday, so I didn't notice anything, but today, Eve is screwed, again. Touch the UI = broken Eve.

Right now, I can barely run 5 clients and even those are like playing in molasses and I get a crisp 3 to 7 fps. Every time I mouse over that virus you call a unified inventory, the client screen turns black and the cursor churns and churns, and it can take a minute or more before the client responds again. If i actually click anywhere in a client window, the lock up is longer. If I sit out in space, doing nothing but just sitting there, after about 5 minutes, the clients just start randomly going black, freezing, and then unfreezing again. The overview doesn't update. The inventory doesn't update. Chat doesn't update. Cursor position, mouse clicks and key strokes don't update, and then will decide to do just random **** when the client decides to act like a functioning piece of software.

I have tons of ram available with less than a third being used by the 5 clients - so memory isn't an issue. I'm running half the clients, with major problems, that I could run before with no problems at all, so it isn't a video issue. The Hd activity light only flashes briefly and intermittently, so it isn't a space or cache issue. You've screwed something up, and apparently, i'm not the only one. Hopefully, it doesn't take you bunch months to fix this screw up, and hopefully we don't get to hear the devs whine about how it's so hard to fix the things that they've screwed up, like last time.

A little item on the side though. Why is the game so stupid that it assumes I'm trying to merge a cargo hold with a stack of missiles? Why does it just not let me drop it into the space, figure out that I'm NOT actually that ******* stupid that I'm trying to merge two dissimilar items, and just add the new item to the inventory? Is that a foreign concept in Iceland? Also, why is it that when I drag a selection of items into an inventory window, it decides there is not enough room for the complete transfer and moves nothing? Why doesn't it just move what there's space for, and give me a split stack window to click ok on?? Now, while i wouldn't doubt that this is related to that useless integrated inventory virus, it's been like this for a long, long time. I know fixing these things doesn't get you "truck loads' of money, like for the time you bunch waste on those useless clothing items, for the useless avatars, that stumble around in those useless closets you call captain's quarters, but just an FYI, fixing tired **** like the myriad of inventory bugs is a smart way to keep CURRENT customers, as customers.

As far as your latest bug injection goes, if I can't use the accounts do to the latest injection of lag, they'll go into unsub until I can. See? It costs YOU money. Imagine that.

After doing some more checking, whatever "brilliant" change was ijmplemented, runs the cpu(s) at 100% capacity, non-stop. That is what is causing all the issues for everyone. That is why clients freeze, unfreeze, white-out and come back, etc. So, CCP needs to figure out what they've screwed up now that causes Eve to sponge up 100% of the computing power of the machine.

Along with this, is the standard poor coding that came with the OTHER virus, called the launcher, where the launcher starts up, starts an executable, then gives you an error message saying that the executabel is rtunning so it can't do the update. This bug is only about 7 months old, and not as high a priority to fix as "important" things like uselss shirts, uselss skirts, etc. But then, CCP gets MORE money for those useless items.

Lastly, the ability to drag and drop a group of items is COMMPLETELY BROKEN. Items need to be moved one at a time because of you drag a group that is larger than the container, none of the items will be moved.

Well done CCP. Fix little things that are pretty much inconsequential, and break huge things in the process. Status quo. Obviously, you need to hire more players as they seem to be the ones that understand how your product works.
