EVE Information Portal

The whole overview goes nuts and disappears and comes back only after hitting tab many times. This includes the whole chat box, overview window, and any other window thats open. Plz fix asap as it might become fatal one of these times.

I'm having an annoyingly high amount of client crashes, even more than when Incarna first arrived

It seems to be linked to Alt-Tabbing, as around 1 in 3 alt-tabs will see my client blackscreen and eventually crash when I try to get back in to it. However it is woth noting that I have also experienced client crashing while just idle in station (hanger view) and simply trying to for example open my active ship'#s cargohold.

Running windows client on vista 32-bit, and yes i've already cleared my cache

I don't recall reading that, but if it's the case then I retract my issue.

Of course, in that case it would be great if it were configurable.

The client is using a massive amount of memory. The computer I game with is a bit complicated since I do other things with it. However, the VM software is loading Win XP on its own cpu w/3.25gb of memory and using 1 sm3 video card. It runs teamspeak3, firefox, and the win xp junk. Before Crucible I could run 2 clients without any issues. Now starting 1 eve client grabs 1gb of memory, which is released over time so that it is only using 100mb after 15 minutes. Yet if I start 2 clients, one after the other, neither releases memory, eventually crashing that VM because it pulled all 3.25gb of memory and maxed out the cpu. Is Eve SMP enabled?

In the eve client , I have cleared all settings and cache, nothing has improved.

A bug I found an hour ago is that I can no longer Edit Member by right clicking on a corp member, doing so opens a tiny blank window and nothing appears in it. Also, if I open the corp icon - member tab - role mgmt tab, nothing is displayed there. It should have a list of all the members of the corp. As CEO, all corp menus should be working for me. Petition sent over this.

More errors noticed and reported in Petition:
1) Director of corp in fleet gets an error dropping ore on top of ore already in orca's corp hanger.
2) Target lock of asteroid locks but the indicator on that roid says it is still locking, even when being mined.
3) Asteroid names in space will not clear so you have a bunch of names, static, even if you have moved away from that area.
4) Name of asteroid & distance remain on screen no matter how far you zoom out.
5) Where is the mining sounds? First it was a thrum thrum then a cruise ship's horn, now its an odd industrial noise. Bring back thrum thrum and stop screwing around with the miners.

Beta testing of software before it is released to the rest of us would stop these endless patches CCP, might look in to doing that.

Kind of disappointed really, I thought CCP was trying to turn things around and listen to the players. One thing the players have been saying over and over again is how about making sure every part of a new expansion works before releasing it, apparently that's too hard to understand. The new salvaging sound is joke right? Sounds like a toddler banging on pots and pans with a spoon and sometimes it doesn't stop when you're done salvaging. Solar system map, now that it's all dark, makes it even harder to see your bookmarks while you're scanning since they are no longer opaque after you launch probes like they used to be pre-dominion but that will probably never get fixed. Same with the bookmarks in solar system map not displaying their distance in AU from your ship, or the bookmarks being obscured by the beacons of signatures you've warped to making them impossible to read or even interact with at all. the bug where modules offline when docking at a station seem to be back with crucible, I docked earlier to buy one of the new battlecruisers and got back into w-space to drop off my bomber only to see that I can't cloak because my cloak is offline, luckily there was no one there to capitalize on that or I'd file a petition that would get the canned response "our logs don't show anything" and be sent on my way like I'm not a paying customer. CCP can you get something right on the first try for once maybe? I don't think it's too much to ask really, you have all the time in the world to test these things before you release them, so why don't you use that time instead of pushing things out before they're ready? I mean no one took the time to try and refit a ship from a ship maintenance array or an orca? If they had done so they would realize theres a MAJOR LAG PROBLEM and it makes refitting a ship in space the bigget hassle ever if you can even get through the process without rage-quitting. What's this I hear about aggression timers now applying to nullsec and w-space? No one saw that coming you say? Bah I say, proper testing can and will find most problems, I understand there are plenty of rare situational bugs that can and will occur after patching but the majority of what's in this thread could have been avoided. Being able to continue aggression on someone who has jumped out of a wormhole into highsec and not seeing any dev responses in the thread about it is commitment to excellence? OH and I want my freaking windows to collapse downward when they're docked on the bottom of the screen like they did pre-patch, most annoying thing ever, I'm not rearranging my windows just because some awesome coder broke the UI. ALSO fix the freakin bug where the forum eats the post and doesn't post it, it's been going on since the new forums opened.

Quick question..............WHAT THE FU** ARE THE TEST SERVERS FOR?!!!

The test servers are for risk-free PVP of course...

CRUCIBLE 1.0.0 patch #3 (Part 1 of 2)

CORP BLUEPRINTS MISSING COLUMNS: Lovely upgrade. Not only is the type face annoying, but the CORP BLUEPRINTS tab is missing "columns"... which means, not only can I not see what is what, but if I scroll through, all unseen blueprints are missing any idea of an ME (or PE) - I actually have no idea what number I'm looking at. EXAMPLE: "Ogre SD-90 [lots of space] Combat Drone Blueprint [space] Blueprint [space 1 [space] No [space] 300" ......THAT'S ALL: NO column lines.. NO column headers for me to see what numbers are referring to what, and to top it of, when you scroll lower, ALL NUMBERS AND INFO FOR ANY BLUEPRINT IS SIMPLY NOT THERE. Top it off with A LACK OF COLUMN HEADERS, and you have yourself a REAL CLUSTER FRAK. Seriously...

TYPEFACE TOO LARGE: Several problems going on here with the "new typeface". It's too big... as in, it's too wide. You leave no option for anyone to type anything smaller than the "bolded" version provided, yet your system chat tabs and the annoying time and date are "thin". SO PAY ATTENTION TO EACH TYPEFACE RELATED ISSUE:

TYPEFACE ISSUE #1: All numbers are too big, and the "zero" is ridiculously "convoluted" or "large". Yet in the realm of symbols, they suck.

EXAMPLE of "suck": The time reads 0805. My corpmate's security state reads 55. A pipeline in my PI says 410%. On a large flatscreen 1080p screen, the thin version of your own font (that you don't let us be able to type) is terribly thought out. It is too thin and all SYMBOLS are too small and but up next to the left side of any number or letter. SO MUCH SO, that you can't read them. This is bad for reading the TIME, reading any mass PRICES on the MARKET, etc. CHANGE THE FONT, OR LET US CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS.

TYPEFACE ISSUE #2: TOO BIG. For gods' sake, when a friend logs in, I see the "log in contact square" in the lower right hand corner... but i can't see their face because it is covered up by their name... Long names especially go beyong and ABOVE the square itself. What's the point of having a picture icon there? Another reason to CHANGE THE FONT, OR LET US CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS.

TYPEFACE ISSUE #3: Font size too big that it also DESTROYS the "NEOCOM" interface and that the speed and "warping" notifications are jsut too big and misaligned bottom-heavy that interrupt the actual normal 100% aspect ration of the warp meter. SERIOUSLY, CHANGE THE FONT, OR LET US CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS.

TYPEFACE ISSUE #4: Dare I even try to elaborate on the CEO and Alliance Interface? Now it's WAY TOO BIG and extends BEYOND the scope of the "width" of the screen and the arrows (as reported in 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011 - why do I even bother) the arrows to scroll further along "left" or "right" of options is simply non-responsive. So now cannot properly manage my own corporation (especially the give/take options for each container - or managing roles...) so CHANGE THE FONT, OR LET US CHANGE IT BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS. SERIOUSLY.

I MEAN IT: "SERIOUSLY" being defined as: IF YOU ARE NOT GOING TO GIVE IN-GAME FONT CHANGES A SERIOUS CONSIDERATION (...no, the 90% reduction only makes the "font suckage" worse) then: LET US DECIDE WHICH FONT WE WANT: Period.

SERIOUS VISUAL ILLNESS: IN-STATION CAMERA SEA-SICKNESS: Seriously? You guys thought it would be fun, instead of making the ships in the hangar move around slightly "adrift", to make the entire camera move about? Not good. It's sickening to have the entire station moving up, down right, left, etc while working in station. Please revert it back to just the ship actually moving in these directions... [It's becoming physically sickening to play this game now, on top of the drudgery of all the previous bugs a year or more old...] Look, you ended up giving us back the statio hangars because some of us wanted it... I'm only suggesting you should give US the option to choose whether we want the new EVE font.. or the old original version. And maybe, just maybe, that will also fix the CORP BLUEPRINTS issue.

PLANET HURTOKEN II: It's become (once again) the Rainbow Brite Empire Homeworld of pink, green and blue blob-like pixels... I have so many images I've submitted in bug reports for almost 2 years now about that one planet and no one seems to care. So there, I've said it again. Does ANYONE AT CCP care? Probably not, so why bother filing yet a third bug report about it?

WINDOW TRANSPARENCY "DOWN THE TUBES": Why bother with having the transparency of a game set when you just change it with each upgrade....? Now all my windows I can see through to the point that I can't see the windows. EWven "PINNING" the windows doesn't quite SOLIDIFY the window. Was this intentional? Again, it's one of the many things you left OUT of your list of patch/upgrade ptachnote changes.

And on an aesthetic note:

HORRIBLE BACKGROUND CHANGES... AGAIN: Why do you people bother changing so much visual "crap" when you do not bother fixing the important internal errors and bugs that seemt o follow and grow as the code of the game itself grows? All you do is worsen the game each time. Most notably was the starfield change in 2010. The stars were "softened" instead of the more realistic clean and clear stars... (the spraypaint spattered starfield crap)... then you changed the planets... (our HQ never used to be outside of a ringed dark planet until PI showed up)... and now, we were happy that, of all things (for example), we live in SAISIO... and that had always had a greenish background. I'm all for the idea of inserting nebulas etc, but you changed the entire background to a bluish cloud... with a red nebula. Why? Seriously, why?

PATCH INFO: By the way, did anyone in the office notice your "Patch info" button upon the immediate login screen is extremely out of date... it feels like even the game itself wishes it was rolled back to its previous "Incarna" tion... And I never thought I'd be saying that.

I confirm what is been sayd here, the salvager or tractor beam's sound randomly dont come off.

1. Refitting in space makes the client become unresponsive for about 10 seconds. Refitting multiple modules is a pain in the arse!

2. Fitting screen doesnt take ship bonuses into account. Fitting a covert cloak on a covert ops and it gave me the message that 10000 cpu was required and the fitting screen showed it as offline however it had actually fitted and onlined the module.


These both happen for everyone every time.
