That is normal for new characters. Portraits are copied from game to the forums from time to time in batches.
There is nothing you can do to speed it up, so please wait patiently. --

What they mean in a nice way is stop posting messages about your portrait missing ;>
But thanks for the official word on it, reading 5-10 new threads a day about this was getting short of annoying.
CCP. Keep up the good work. If having no portrait means you do better things in game, I can deal with a big ! any day.

Sorry i posted with an odd character (Cpt Iris) last time, this is the character that has been around for nearly a year with no copy. A friend of mine who created an account a month ago within two days had the copy done. I am guessing that it is done fairly often, just some people are not included or missed some how. I would of course like to have a picture on here but it is not that importent to me. I just find it odd that some are passed over, i would of figured it would be easier to just automate the process. I am the darkness in the light. |

This issue has been ongoing for quite some time. As near as I can tell, there either have been no portrait updates to the web site in about 6 months, or there are vast numbers of people that have not gotten a portrait update during that time. Can we possibly get an update about when this issue will be corrected? The updates used to run every few days. Now they've been broken so long that people have come to expect it sa normal that nobody gets a portrait on the forums. Has fixing this item slipped off the to do list?

Seems there is a technical problem causing the portraits updates not to happen (it is difficult to acquire a powerful enough server with a good graphics card that would generate the portraits).
Matter is being worked on though, and hopefully will be solved soon rather than Soon(TM). --

Who told you that? You don't need a graphics processor just to copy/crop a picture. On my simple 2.8 Ghz PC it would take about 0.5 sec or less to shrink picture about 80% and copy it to another system in the network. That is about 120 pics a minute. If EVE has 100.000 users it would take 50.000 secs or about 14 hours to copy all pictures from one home-PC to another. Surely that is feasible for a company that has charged some of us 100's of dollars in the meantime.
Come ooooohn!

I assumed that the picture was stored somewhere already and, if so, it would probably be on the EVE server, as most of my things are. So you're saying that the picture is regenerated everytime I fire up the client?

Portraits are generated clientside in the game. They're not regenerated each time you start the game though - that's what the cache is for.
Now, as we're getting offtopice here, i hope your curiosity is satisfied. --

My alt has the same problem. The person you are looking for is t20.
Here's a recap from t20 concerning this issue (post necrophilia ftw):
Originally by: t20
With the new location CCP moved to, came network issues. Constant disconnects from the net and the glitchiness that goes along with it, prohibited uploads that took longer than 30+ minutes. The characterportraits is one of those uploads where frustration and putting even more pressure on our already swamped network administrators didn't quite work.
The problems were at the root of having our internal network, the TQ cluster and the websites cluster + relating database in three different locations. With the move and the new TQ cluster now, however ... everything is at the same location, leaving us with a direct connection from CCP to everything else. There's no connection loss anymore and I can thus stop torturing our admins.
Rendering of pictures on my side, has never stopped. The machine that renders out the portraits is uploading all the portraits that have been rendered in the last 7 weeks. This process should take about 3 days (seen the huge backlog and the huge amount of new characters).
Note that against popular belief that these portraits are rendered "on-the-fly" or "need a clientpatch" these pictures simply reside on a dedicated webserver (http://img.eve.is) .
Deeply sorry for the inconvenience, all should be well on sunday at the most.
Originally by: t20
To shed some light on this: I recently re-engineered the way characterportraits get rendered, as rendering out all the new characters that came in per day was more the renderer combined with the directory crawler could handle. I'm handeling the rendering process differently now by splitting up the one monster task in 21 different tasks. All characterportraits with ending numbers 00 > 09 will for an example render out on mondays and thursdays.
the beautiful part about this, is that i only have 10 directories to crawl instead of 100, giving me LOTS more time to spend on rendering than on actually crawling directories with +10000 files in them.
what used to take 26 hours (and because of downtime, could only be 23 hours MAX) now takes, through this splitting, only a mere 8 hours, but spread widely over half a weeks time.
So to conclude, I would say that instead of instantanious rendering, your characterportrait should, in the next coming week when we've had a full cycle of the new system, render out in the upcoming 4 days of your character creation.

Pretty good idea. And the absurd part about it is that this would actually be fastest. I would send a screenshot from the game within a few minutes.
I don't believe all the talk about crawling and rendering. One machine could crawl all players within a month. Another one could render them, maybe 1 per minute, 60 per hour, 1400 per day, 70 days for 100.000 users. So 2 months.
Somebody is making this more complicated then needed. Is this getting symptomatic?

There is one other thing I don't understand about this issue. It was said the the portraits and their paramaters reside only on the player's computer and thus will have to be fetched from there one by one.
When I view the Info about another player in the game I get to see a nice thumbnail-picture of his/hers portrait. This portrait has to be requested and a slight pause is noticable. So, where does this portrait come from? Is it requested through a peer-to-peer connection between the players' systems? More probably it is fetched through the EVE servers somehow, so it must reside there somewhere already. Since almost all players' Info will have been viewed by another player at some point it would sound plausible that nearly all portraits are available on the servers already, somewhere. So, what gives????

I can't say that I'm 100% sure, BUT I think what you ask the server is what properties the portrait has, like what race/hair/facial morph and so on. Then your computer generates the portrait and stores it in your cache directory.
The last part is what the problem is about. Generating the actual graphics.
EDIT: This is also proven if you got a messed up gfx card like my laptop does. All portraits get generated with 2 mouths, even though it may look good on my stationary computer ;)

Since the "!" portrait URL is to an eve server. (http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=bigshot&cid=135722244) It comes from the Eve Server the current portrait you see of yourself in-game comes from you hard drive but you are the only one that sees this version. Others see the version on the Eve Server.

Yes, good thinking, that sounds plausible, although I can not think of the reasons behind that design decision. A .png of the thumbnail size would take at most 3K in size. Maybe the file with the atributes would be only 0,5K but all the hassle makes the efficiency effort rather moot.
And I still don't know why the rendering of such a protrait would be so complicated to be an obstacle.
If all thinks fail they could add a render instruction to the next patch and let the clients send all the pictures to the servers; another 3K in our personal databases can't make the difference....

I have to agree that it sounds amazing that some has been without a portrait for maybe 6 months. Imho it would be better to put a CCP employees regular desktop computer to crunch those and get it done in a couple of months. Atleast that's better then nothing >_>

Here's a quote from t20's blog published on 2006.06.05:
Originally by: t20
The position I'm currently holding has nothing to do with the CCP websites at this point, I will however continue to support the data-exports. ... CCP's constant expanding employee-base has allowed us to hire more people for the web department (or WebCell as we refer to it) and we jumped the 5 mark for this department, so my position in WebCell has been filled and then some.
So, more employees = slower service? Or maybe having to relog several times to post is an actual "feature"? I don't know.
By the way, I swapped my portrait 10 months ago, still have the old one show up on the forums.

Maybe the answer here is to delete the avatars entirely and for everyone to publish signatures?
IMO the majority of people get ticked off looking at the ! more than they would if it wasn't there at all. We can edit what appears below it, why not just give an option to toggle off the avatar itself?

Over 5 months here and no pic. I'd be glad if they would just make the forum work constantly, and being able to log in.
This game is ace, but why the hell they don't use all those euro's I gave them to hire some serious guys who can work with the servers I don't know. Get some experts, this game is 4 years old and it's still not functioning properly.

4 months now and still an exclamation mark. Dammit, how hard can it be to render a portrait and save it to a PNG in a DB? We're not talking about rocket science here! Give me access to the EvE source code (or the part that renders portraits) and I'll do it for u CCP! I'll charge $10 an hour so it'll work out real cheap!

(Had to log in twice in a row to be able to reply to this message)
The devs have been aware for about a year now.
The web programmers don't do game code or content or hardware (at least I hope they don't). Look at the blog I quoted earlier in this thread: CCP recently hired at least 5 employees to replace t20 in the "WebCell". Strangely enough this didnÆt seem to make any difference.
By the way, the ôFan Submissionsö page is still screwed up and has been for several months.

Look, I realize that forum avatar images may nor seem like a super important thing to some people. The problem is not if it is important or not. The problem is that we've been told many times that it would be fixed Real Soon NowÖ. That makes things feel like CCP thinks it is perfectly ok to lie to us. That tends to make customers cranky.
Fixing this shoud be relatively simple. We already know that when you post to the forums your character is put into a queue for portrait generation and that a job wakes up every so often to generate the portraitsfor all the characters in that queue. It should be fairly simple to determine the number of such portraits that need to be generated on a daily basis, determine an average time needed to generate a single portrait, extrapolate a growth curve based on current character creation trends and size out just how much hardware would be required to generate all of the portraits needed each day.
If it used to be a single machine and you can't manage to get one box to do the task fast enough anymore then you move to multiple boxes. You can have one box manage the queue and hand out jobs one at a time to each of the portrait generating boxes, or you can keep it simple and just split the list up between the boxes and let them batch them.
What we're really talking about here is not some massive need for a development effort, or some huge investment in time. What were talking about is an investment in hardware and a couple days of someone's time to get the things up and running and doing the job.
Now if we want to get proactive or something it might not even be a bad idea to go through the last 6 months of posts and pull out all the active characters that still have "!" as a forum portrait and toss them on the front of the queue. Since surely the hardware will be spec'd out to be bigg enough to handle future volume, it should catch up with current demand after a few weeks of crunching portraits 24 hours a day. (ok, more likely 23 assuming lack of db availability each day).

If CCP can't get a webpage to work correctly then no wonder they are having so much trouble keeping the game server and the associated nodes running. It's not a matter of which is a priority over the other. It's the fact that webpages are relatively simple comparred to running the game. And with the website being as monumentally screwed up as it is, it speaks volumes about the state of the game server, the supporting hardware, and the software running everything.

This char is about 6 months old. How ridiculous can this get? And I made this char with the objective of using her on the forums... how dumb was that Also swaped pic on my main char in April and still get the old pic on the forums. It would be best if CCP removes char pics from the forums, if you swap pic or make a new one they will never show up on the forums anyway... just another thing that sucks big time

I guess we can agree that the exclamation mark is there for strong feelings - and it works for both ways. Just check all the whining posts in the forums - can you count the exclamation marks?

I would have thought is would be easy enough to automate the process. The Character Name, Character Portrate and Account name are all stored on the game cluster. So write a program that auto copies these details across to the Forum database.

From "time to time" means that the portraits are updated every 4 years, provided that Friday the 13th is actually on a Wed. Then the portraits are updated. If you have not been playing 4 years and Friday the 13th didn't fall on a Wed, then you will just have to keep waiting.

If CCP are having so much trouble updating the avatar's why not let us upload our own???
Alot (correct all) of my other forum sits both game and non-game related allow user uploads of avatars so why not here - it would atleast eliminate the nag factor and reduce the workload on CCP.

Obviously, CCP has setup the forums to their preferences. It's their servers, its their website, its their choice. They gave you a space to put up whatever random picture you want to use to identify yourself. Its called a signature. These forums are lacking in many other areas compared to other forums. Probably, because they want most of the interaction to take place in-game. Hence: No forum messaging. Ect.
If the best thing that you people can find to complain about is 'getting a wittle cutsie pictwure' above your name in the official website forums, then that just proves how much of an incredible job CCP is doing with this MMO.
The problem has been recognized.
I'm sure solutions have been discussed.
It has been prioritized.

If they do work on a system for rendering forum avatars, then they should throw in a little script that prioritizes characters due to posting habits on the forums. No need to render the thousands of alts if they don't even post on the forums. It would make the people who are complaining happier faster than just going down the list of characters created and rendering them slowly.
Just a thought.
I LOVE YOU CCP!

This is really distracting on a personal level CCP.
The distraction breaks the 'suspension of disbelief'.
I can appreciate the nightmare from a technical stand point and rational for batching these jobs but why is it taking so long?
Yupe, the issue is purely individual experience related and not a technical bug; but its a chunk missing from the eve universe for us faceless pilots.
please run your scripts to update us all Mwhahahhaa

Can we get an update, please? I mean, there's been a TON of hardware added, was nothing done about this issue?
And if it's not a priority, just tell us, please. Being placated with 'be patient' when some folks have had this issue for 6 months, or over a year isn't giving the customer base warm, fuzzy feelings that anything is actually being done.
Sorry if I missed a more recent official response, but I'm not going to go thru 5 pages, when recent posts indicate there's still a problem.
Thanks in advance for some sort of response.

Originally by: Spurty This is really distracting on a personal level CCP.
The distraction breaks the 'suspension of disbelief'.
I can appreciate the nightmare from a technical stand point and rational for batching these jobs but why is it taking so long?
Yupe, the issue is purely individual experience related and not a technical bug; but its a chunk missing from the eve universe for us faceless pilots.

well, i've been playing for almost 4 months now and i still don't have my portrait on the boards/my character pages. apparently there's people who play for over half a year without portrait which makes me kinda worried. i mean, this is a payed service so we are entitled to demand our portraits now.

He he, notice the date this reply is posted, if not readable, it' from back in august. As said in some of the first post, there proberbly no way around it, will simply have to accept it woun't get fixed. I've had the problem a couple of time with diffrent machine ingame, made a petision, answer = re-install client. Well now I've update to kali, re-installed the client a few times, and it seems like the best fix ingame atleast is to turn on Lother or what's it called, ohh and run in fullscreen. If I don't it messes up the portrait. And as some migth have noticed, if you request a portrait or a regeneration of your portrait it'll work fine untill you log out. Weird issue. Just accept the fact it woun't get fixed...
Still waiting for ingame voice, with voice mods. |

Well, as I started playing early April, may I expect to see my portrait by the beginning of next year?
Wait patiently? This isn't the 90's. If a matter as simple as showing an avatar can't be fixed in less than a year, I'm getting really worried! And I find the remark of just 'waiting' even insulting, as if we're asking the impossible.
My portrait's all crumbled to a ! Estimate: 2 more years, for CCP, to fix it. |

For those wondering why people care about their portraits, there are forums here where alts are not welcome. You don't have to read many threads in those places to find someone's ideas shot down because they don't even have a portrait yet. Sad, I know, but true.

On an individual basis its easy - having said that it still consumes a small amount of cpu and disk resources to resize an image (more if you do it properly by resampling rather than simply scaling the image).
However, scale up the number of portraits which need rendering and you start making life more complex. Now factor in the fact that the portaits are stored on the same database as we're playing with and what would you rather have? A ! in the forums or lag?
Having said all that CCP should not have promised to resolve the issue by Christmas if they couldn't meet that timescale.

Originally by: t20 This matter is getting quite embarrassing, especially since it's just such a public one.
Here's the rundown:
We decided it would be better to start off on a clean plate and render out all the character portraits of people that are active and people that have ever posted on the forums. We also decided it would be a good idea not to run the replication at the same time as the rendering process to keep the I/O of the disks free for only the rendering of portraits.
My initial calculations were off, by quite a bit, unforeseen factors again. right now we've got 272133 portraits rendered; means we've only rendered out ~21000 portraits a day on average so far. This average will however go up, as I've fixed one of those 'unforeseen factors'.
So know that the rendering process is actually up and running and half-way there and know also that I'm not bbq'd, omgwtfpwnd or being harrpwn'd.
That is all. Carry on.
So they had 272133 completed and can do about 20000 a day. So they have done 372133 so far. How many active players do they have?? Or are they rendering EVERYONE who ever posted here but haven't played in 2 years???

i changed my pay back from 6 months to 1 month... if they can't solve a simple thing like this... or do they want money for it? i guess that is how they welcome new paying customers by granting them a big "!".... time to revise the avatar system I'd say err...
Is there actually something at CCP reading petitions or is everything there a bot?

With the number of other issues that CCP has had (bootlog, client crashes, etc.) does it really suprise you they would make a portrait low priority? I'd rather the **** work correctly than have my portrait show up.

Regardless of "the number of other issues that CCP has had", for the almost $250 they make on EACH user annually, one has a right to expect a virtually flawless product. According to Wikipedia, CCP makes over $35 million (yes, $35,000,000.00) in revenue - with that kind of money, there's no excuse for issues that linger for months on end.

Question related to this issue but not about the forum avatars here.
I notice that in pulling data for killboards and evemon, that my portrait is also still a "!". My question is, do these 2 entities (killboards and evemon) pull the portrait from the same database that these forums use to produce an avatar? My belief is that they do but I'd like to hear a definite answer.
Being a "!" here doesn't bother me so much as have a big ugly "!" on my killboard sig.

Yes, this is what bothers me as well. It seems to be linked, I'm positive about it. Thic character is over 3 months old now and I'm still seeing "!" on corp killboard and Evemon. I'm just hoping to get my Avatar ASAP

I started playing about 3 weeks ago, and my avatars worked at one point. Now they do not. I know one of the replies said "please be patient", but it seems that this issue has been around for a while and, after 3 weeks of playing, I'd expect my avatar to be wherever it needs to be in order to be able to see it properly.
Is there an update on this issue? Is there a resolution? If not... Is there an expected time until resolution?
Thanks!

Okay, not the usual avatar whine but I don't see much point starting a new thread...
is it me, or has the avatar image server gone down completely? All I get is broken-image icons where I used to see avatars, and trying to open, e.g. http://img.eve.is/serv.asp?s=64&c=1053970581 in its own windows chucks up an HTTP server error...
You on the case, CCP?

Originally by: RaTTuS So what is wrong with reading my post 2 up ? see THIS thread
That thread, which I've seen quoted any number of times as "this" through this thread, relates to the appearance of the avatar as an exclamation mark, at least as far through it as I've been bothered to read.
My post, which doesn't deserve its own thread, was about the fact that the exclamation-mark image (or avatar image of people that have had theirs rendered) now results in a server error, as does the character portrait that appears in the "My Character" page, regardless of which size is asked for. That strikes me as a different issue, no?

Still looking for my face.
I know you can transfer character portraits for a fee. How about I create an alt for this and you (CCP) pick up the tab? Now that would be a solution that shows some customer service.
