There's no new graphics content yet. I personally think the title of the news post is a bit confusing, but it does clarify it a bit in the body.

This engine will use the graphic card finally? (I'm talking about the classic client, not the super cool DX9)

"... this version is an updated DX8 version and does not include any DX9 content." May be this words is the key ? :D ________________________________________ b r e a k t h e b e a t z |

Ok, I mean.. the rusty look of this viator is now replaced by some silly reflective look.. like it was polished somehow.?! And running two clients does give me some funny ui-bugs (buttons disappear, shipps diasppear after jumping).. but I'll wait what others have to say about that

The same tends to happen here, especially when you do alt-tab while being in autopilot, and try to maximize the window again after your ship jumped through a few gates.
Edit: actually it seems to be more a random error, I even got a Visual C++ Runtime error message once. _________

Try setting to window mode, i crashed to desktop when i did.
New client is far more CPU and RAM intensive on my machine also.

I tried, it worked fine until I tried to minimize the window and then maximize it again, took a screenshot this time. _________

I can't see any "new" look on anything, ppl in local say their ships are looking better so I'm really confused here. And cpu load is same as on TQ.
Doesn't look like the gfx card is doing much yet.
And lots of weird gfx bugs, icons not loading and lag is worse than before this last patch

Its not just the title of the new post that is confusing. having sat a TQ and SISI client on the same PC I cannot see any difference in CPU / Mem use nor any change in fps.
So does the new engine actually use the graphics card more if it uses the old content?

Some stuff was given an overhaul, but in general the engine running the old content and code is very similar to what was there before, to maintain content compatibility. There are new code paths for new content.

EWWW what did you do to the FOV
it looks very confusing now, less fisheye though. Also the planets/stations seam to be WAY bigger then before.

hey hey
Its certainly lagging like crazy and i managed to moonwalk (went backwards) the ship into a gate.
Gate looked alot crisper and seemed to have a very nice lighting effect on it. no noticable FPS increases or performance increases but my guess was the lag and the constant trafic advisories wasnt doing much for the server and had no real bearing on actual performance.
Could a nice DEV please clear all my science jobs as everytime i try i hang the client .. . . the pos they were attached to isnt there anymore :)
Many thanks Mikal Drey

overall gamma setting is a lot darker than b4 also had to change gamma settings in me drivers to actually make out any details on ships.

Relax. 400+ people on the test server is very bad in terms of 'lag'. It just can't handle it.
The new 'content on demand' is weird tho I admit. I can forsee laggy fleet battles, where previously you would see whether your modules were active or not... Now you just won't see any modules at all. (tho...if you hover over them, it still says what they are...as I said, odd.
Also, Alt + tabbing = bad.

I'm guessing that its safe to assume that the content compatibility detection isn't working as intended? I say this because I know my card doesn't support shader 3 (and I was under the impression that this was a deal breaker for whether the new content works or not) but my sisi client tells me that my computer should support the new art content if it were available

The new engine doesn't care if your card supports SM3 or not because, as far as I am aware, it is used for the classic and enhanced graphics.

I assumee, it is compiled, delivered and never tested? First impressions: - server slow - client not faster; more CPU - not a stable build
Hardware: P4 3.4Mhz; Hyperthreading; 2GByte RAM Radeon X1900
Tests: Splashscreen 60% CPU in FullScreen (Hyperthreading; 2 virtual CPUs) Splashscreen 60% CPU in Windowed CPU-Load 65%-70% during entering Game (Character Selection) -> 10mins CPU-Load 65%-70% during entering Game (Entering Station) -> 5mins CPU-Load 70%-80% during dockout
Changing Windowed to Fullscreen crashes EVE -> destroying all settings....
___ ...no bugreports without a working error tracking system... Have fun or ignore it. ---

So, new engine does not offer anything new or improvements unless you buy a new graphic card with DX9 shaders 3.0...
