Hi guys

I have noticed that the CPU and RAM usage for my eve client has gone up roughly 30% with the crucible expansion (minimum settings). Some friends of mine have noted the same. Was this a known issue going into the expansion, or are there some performance issues that need to be tweaked on CCP's end?

thanks :)

Well, think about it. New skybox, new warp effects, Caldari/Gallente V3, engine trails, a ton of other graphics related changes that I can't think of off the top. There's bound to be some more kick to EVE in terms of system usage. Not to mention the occasional glitch here and there that needs to be stamped out.

I noticed an increase in CPU usage also, posted about it..got ignored as usual :)

Anyway, skybox is a static background in a system, once loaded it shouldn't eat more resourced then before. Then again, i might be wrong..

In a mission where was smooth 60 fps all the time, there is 45-50 fps now, gets better when less NPCs are alive, i turned off the engine trails..still fps drop, turned off shots/misses and still lower FPS than before.
Same details setup as before the patch, turned shadows off, got a few frames but still not back to 60.

CPU wise, before i would hover at around 40-50% cpu in battles tops, now its at 70-75% until the reds turn to wrecks.
I am a nit-picky bastard, i tend to notice this things :)

Have the same issue. 95% cpu usage in battles, 10-15 fps drop. And it happens only when pirates start shooting at me, Min settings.
