Anyone has an info when this windows not drawn bug on windows xp will be fixed?
It works somehow with one client (at least mostly), but I would love to use more than one again, and windowed mode is not really a turn on

Probably never. Windows XP was released October 25, 2001. Making the game XP compatible would be working backwards. It is time to upgrade to 7. |

Can you at least try to upgrade to Windows Vista? I can't imagine anyone using XP for anything these days as that system is already over 10 years old for crying out loud. It is literally as old as Eve Online. |

Windows XP will be fully supported by M$ till 2014. It's a fine OS. Clear your cache and I bet you'll be fine.
I'll eat my hat if CCP isn't supporting it for years to come. It'd be downright foolish not to.

Nothing wrong with XP here. And I don't see any reason to upgrade to 7 for as long as XP works fine. Which it does. |

Comparing Windows XP to asbestos to try to justify upgrading to a new OS is ridiculous.
There is nothing wrong with XP. As long as it continues to do what we need it to do we will continue to use it. Upgrading to the newest 'thingy' just because its new is silly. |

nevermind .. win2k works pretty well too..
win vista, win 7 etc. got some "nice features" which are mostly useless and have double maybe even more requirements to even run.
PS .. i use win7 but that is just because i tried it once and was too lazy to go back after an month or so.
Anyway not sure if its an OS problem. Try what others told, or/and try run another client from another folder. Means multiple copies of EVE but i heard its how some use it. Since it was un-stable for them otherwise. |

bolded is true, yet anything else is really just useless as neon tubes in your computer case.
Rest works just fine, altho it requires some tweaking and it works like an charm. Talking about security and microsoft OS .. really ???
edit : actually event he bolded part is not true, since you can "tweak it" so it looks exactly same as win7, however -2GB RAM requirement. |

Windows XP is ancient, ugly, unstable and embarrassing. Do you want to burn a DVD? OH WAIT WINDOWS XP CAN'T NATIVELY BURN DVDS. AHAHAHHAHAHAH. Enjoy your start menu which takes up the entire screen, and your lack of instant search. Enjoy the limitation of 4GB of RAM, including your GPU's RAM. XP 64bit you say? Completely unstable and no support. Enjoy your hideous control panel with a huge block of options to scroll through, with absolutely no categorising or sorting. Enjoy your lack of a wallpaper slideshow. Stare at the same wallpaper every day. Enjoy your constantly crashing programs, and an 'end task' button in the task manager which actually doesn't work.
You know error reporting in Windows XP? You know how it's useless, so you always click 'Don't send'? Well, in 7, you are actually given solutions. Enjoy your lack of Aero snap. Want to see 2 windows side by side? You have two choices. Either painstakingly click and drag minimised windows into position, or end every single program except the two you want side-by-side, then right click on the start bar and select some option hidden somewhere. Enjoy your lack of jumplists. How do you instantly go to a frequent website from your desktop? Use a bunch of saved bookmark files in some unsorted folder? Well, I just right click on the Firefox icon, and click on the site I'm interested in. Enjoy your lack of items on the start bar which give useful information. If I have a download in Firefox running, or a copy-and-paste job in explore, the icon becomes illuminated with a status bar. XP doesn't even have Homegroup support.
How do you go to your desktop which is beneath several windows? Click that little desktop button which is like 1/8 the distance from the left to right of the screen, and about 10 pixels up from the bottom? Make sure you aim carefully! On Windows 7, I swing the mouse to the absolute bottom-right and click. No aiming necessary. Fast and easy. Want automatic, clean, safe, and up-to-date backups? Not with XP! I see over 15 steps on the Microsoft support page to get a backup on XP. How many steps on 7? 5 for the first time, and none from there. Let's have a race. Open something you'd never use, like Paint (Which is better in 7, by the way). I press the start key, type paint, then press the enter key. Done. 2 seconds. Hmm, since you're using XP you'll need to click start > All programs > Accessories > scroll scroll scroll search search search > Paint. 15 seconds. How do you access all of your recent word docs? Well, I click start, hover over the word icon, and see all of my recent docs to the right. Easy. XP? You probably have folders upon folders of out-of-date shortcuts.
DirectX 10? DirectX 11? XP has neither. Support is dwindling. Enjoy not being able to play 50+ games at their best quality. Oh, something deleted your boot.ini. Oh dear. Well, Windows 7 doesn't have anything that archaic, and one automated and easily accessed Startup Repair later and you're good to go, with no loss of files, full reinstall and faffing about with command prompts. Hmm... Your display driver crashed for the billionth time today, giving you a BSOD? What a shame. Windows 7 can automatically reboot your display driver. Yes, often without even crashing the game. Want to connect to a wireless/VPN/mobile broadband/etc network? Like 2 or 3 clicks on 7. XP? Well, did the internet even exist in those prehistoric times? No wonder it takes like 10+ dialog boxes to do things so menial. It's time to use Windows Update on your XP computer! Let's see, was it Microsoft Update or Windows Update? Oh, I forget, I'll just click one. Ok, here opens Internet Explorer and OH GOD THE TOOLBARS ARE EATING MY FACE. Yep, now we just wait 10 minutes for the search and...oh... no updates. Sadface. Windows 7? Automated. If you want to go over advanced or optional updates, just type Update into your inta-search, press Enter, and a dedicated, in-OS UI appears. Which searches for updates in seconds! Sweet mother of all things holy, UPDATING IS EASY.
Oh dear, you have several notifications. Look near your clock. THOUSANDS OF ICONS ALL FLASHING ARGH MY EYES. THEY STRETCH OUT SO FAR TO THE LEFT MY TASKBAR IS GONE NOW. Windows 7? Click the arrow, and a little box appears above. It's 2D rather than 1D, so it fits a huge number of icons in a small space. Oh yeah, furthermore, some of these notifications are now added to the action centre. Got an OS update, security warning, maintenance process and more begging for attention? It's all in one icon rather than dozens.
Windows 7 is both shinier AND more usable. XP consists of huge lists to achieve the same thing with 4x the clicks and mouse movement. System requirements? Don't make me laugh. 2GB of RAM costs $25. Wait a minute. You can't upgrade anyway, because you're using a 32bit OS.
Your PC is the operating system you use. If your OS it out of date, then your entire system is, too.
Anyway, that's my rant. Update today. It's so much better and it affects every day of your life. |

Probably never. Windows XP was released October 25, 2001. Making the game XP compatible would be working backwards. It is time to upgrade to 7.
On one hand I agree that we really should upgrade soon from our bugfree, stable and much loved Windows XP.
On the other hand that's not the issue at all here, if it somehow turns out that EVE doesn't support XP anymore I'd like to know since when and where is the big announcement to the customers?

The way you go on and on makes me wonder if you'll have the same said rage on windows 7 when you move onto newer windows. Also several of the "selling points" you mention for windows 7 I have no use for. Several of the XP problems you mention I've never had. I'm not going to update to 7 unless I have to. Why, because microsoft thinks its better to teach someone an entirely new language every other year instead of sticking to the language they taught people. Language in this case being formatting, style, looks, methods, etc. For me, changing an operating system every other year is as drastic as tearing down parts of my house and rebuilding just as often. You might argue that its more like painting your room every year, but how often do you really repaint your room?

GǪalso, my XP isn't having any of the problems you enumerated (well, maybe DVD burning, but who the hell uses physical media any more?)

Oh, so you don't care for 'efficiency' in general. Ok. You don't need to upgrade, but if you do you'll notice improvements in all aspects of computing.
XP has many problems. You just don't notice them because they're efficiency-related rather than specific crashes. 10 seconds of your time wasted every 5 minutes every day is something you should avoid.
And, yes, Windows 7 is already very slightly bad in comparison to Windows 8 Developer Preview. Seen the new task manager? PHHWWOOOOARRRR. |
