Earlier in this thread, I reported that the lag issue had gone away on my armour tanked Apoc. That is still the case, however I've noticed the lag issue occur when fighting Supreme Drone Parasites. The problem was worse when fighting more than one Supreme drone.

For those of you not in the know, the ship model used for this drone type is the same as the Dominix. Maybe the fancier graphical effects are not working as intended?

It got fixed for me when I changed from the newest Omega drivers to generic ATI drivers on my X800 XT PE. I dunno what happned really just that the driver change helped. I havent tested the new ATI drivers in fear that the same thing will happen.

There is a lag problem outwith armour hardeners. Both me and a freind lost our ships in the same npc rat fight last night because of lag. I started fighting 1st and I had no hardeners or repairers of any type fitted. The moment I fired my guns (blasters or rockets) I start getting 1 frame every 15 secs or so. I knew I was in trouble so called a freind in to help me and the moment he fired the same thing happened. I got blown up and the lag was gone and I got to watch him get blown up too.

The rats were ones I could handle on my own no problem usually.

Was hoping my petition would be succesfull but by the sounds of it it won't.

Very poor show and has put a real downer on the game for me as I am quite new to Eve and what I lost was a lot of work for me.

I had the same issue i think, you can easyle see if you have the same issue by in space dropping a can and fire at it, if it lags when you fire then you have the same issue. Ive found that a solution for it is to delete the char settings file under the cashe folder.
I did petition this and the GM was not able to solve it but trough tests, i managed to figure out that its the char setting file that are corrupt. contact me ingame if you need further help.

EDIT:

Ive done alot of test's on this before I was able to figure it out, and it seems that it laggs only the second the weapon is activated and is about to fire, if you use guns with long ROF they will only lag at fire stage (with only one gun of curse)

And no i'm not gonna play zoomed right out.. i need to see my ship to play the way i want to

One thing I noticed that may be related, or not (might be related to all the server disconnects that happened last night). I was in combat, and noticed a particularly fine shot that I wanted to view, so I opened the Log so I could look for that shot. I instantly locked up, and eventually the system crashed. Apparently it crashed for everyone else too, tho, so I am not sure if it was just coincidence or if they are related. I had all my hardeners and repairers on at the time, and was engaged in combat with NPCs

I never really made any connection with hardners but I suppose it could explain alotta the grp activety lag.

But well guess I'll go check if it has made any difference.

i think that it is due to the new effect that was added as i noticed that when you zoom out to a distance (where you can not really see the ship as more than a small dot) that the lag spikes were not noticeable, this came to mind when speaking to a friend who was on the main server while i was testing

Hmmm, I was able to have 2 Large Armor Repairers, 3 Armor Hardeners on and tank a 2 Angel Battleship, 4 Angel Cruiser spawn with no noticeable lag. During the battle, I zoomed in and out to test if there was any difference, missiles were flying around the place. Even cycled different configurations of Armor Reps and Hardeners to see if I could cause lag. Unable to. I wonder what the difference is.

Not sure if anyone else has noticed this.. or if it's even important...

I get the same image freeze from armour hardeners and repairers...

But I also noticed something else which is slowing my game down..

In the graphics options, I can now no longer change the shading option.

Or rather, I can change it, but the next time I open options it's reset..

I run 2 clients on my machine, and this increases the lag (shading options are now continually set at 24+8 bit and z buffer set to 32+i forget cos i'mat work and can't have eve here :()..

Anyone got any idea why this is? I now have to run both clients set at full shading and am sure this is not helping the fps, combined with the armour problems (will of course check it out with the hopeful hotfix when i get home in four hours) are meaning i can only run one client and that gets lag...

Machines are..

Eve-system (for watching tv and mining):
xp 1800+
1GB PC2100
Radeon 9600

Good-system (for when there is dross on tv):
xp 3000+

Not only armor hardeners are causing lag.

I noticed in my Maller with 5 lasers that every time the lasers fire I get a half second where the client is not reacting.

Could it be that it is the audio code causing the lag?

I fly an apoc and have also experienced terrible client-side lag with the new patch. My armour hardners are always on but I get lag under the followong scenario:

I warp to a gate and start ganking a ship. The sentries start firing on me and I turn on my armour repairs. The screen freezes up completely. It unfreezes after 5 or so seconds then repeats until I am able to warp out. During the fighting (usually 1v1 or 4 people at most) it feels like a large laggy fleet battle.

So for me it could be the armour hardners, the armour repairers, or the sentries causing the lag, or a combination of all three.

I also had the sound disabled as that can slow things down during battle.

Hope this info helps the bug hunters

Why was this even added? The hardner "shimmer" is next to impossible to see at low levels of zoom.. and totally invisible (at least to me) at medium to long zoom levels.

Seems like a "Good Idea" that should have been left at the idea stage.

I can confirm this too its been driving me nuts since last night.

I run 4 active armour hardeners on a Dominix tank and the game freezes every few seconds with the effects of all four being to make it virtually unplayable and very hazardous for npc hunting.

I cleared my cache, reinstalled eve and defragged my system to hell and back.

If this can get hotpatched as a priority I'd be very grateful since I imagine its just killed all the armour tank loadouts in eve.

PS

I am running a new Geforce card and it worked beautifully before the patch (and still does when the armour hardeners aren't running)

This is strange..

I was having this armor hardener lag on Sisi right before patch deployment into TQ. I was told by a BH that devs were looking at this.

After patch was applied to TQ i went in and immediatly tried it with my tempest. No lag.

But now, i get the lag on my apoc.

Either it's connected to the ship or there was a hotfix for this that somehow got 'unloaded'

edit: looks like there's a graphics bug related to it. When i activate hardeners, i get a sort of second layer of guns on my tempest. Bug reported with a screenshot.

Yup, same here. After this patch I can't use armor hardeners. What he hell caused this? I'm assuming thats what the devs are saying too :).

Good luck finding a hotfix for this one guys...cause it seems really obscure.

Yer I came here searching for a lag post and found this. I've been hunting rats for a long time now and had no problems until this patch.

Today I patched and jumped into a system and the got periodic pauses which got worse and worse. Didn't know it was the hardeners (have 3 running).

A fix would be nice :)

Goddammit, yes.

And I've found no way to stop it so far.

Well ... after having heard about it from others in corp and alliance I thought to have a go at it ... I'm no longer sure this is a graphics card related issue. The system at work had it twice out of 3 quick hunts, my laptop once out of 6, at home twice out of by now 13 .. can't put the finger on it as each system has a different graphics card. Confused. Filed a bug report though with systems details on each.
Cheers,

"Anyone else having this issue?"

Yup, lot of people. 'Tis old bug, reported multiple times, last time less than two weeks ago.

(mind you, used happen to me before but doesn't really happen anymore, so it might be issue with graphics card type and/or drivers ;

A corp member of mine is having the same issue: hardeners active, insane lag & screen freezes (doing a general spawn in a maller ), also hearing the same from a few folks in Omist (including 3 ship losses due to it ..)

I can confirm that at least flying the apoc equipped with the hardeners causes this. Dunno if it's tied to hardware or software though. Took the Raven out and had zero "freeze" issues.

So that's what it is... I did notice insane lag, but didn't make the connection...

Seem to have this problem only when armour hardners are on causing screen to freeze every 5 seconds unless i zoom maximum out.

Anyone else having this issue?
