Thanks for the evidence that proves that it's not depleted VRAM, this is good information. Are you all using resource caching?

The white squares stuff only happens to me in planetary mode, all planetary structures are not painted and instead we see white squares in their place.


It only hapens to the first (any) planet I open and if I open another planet the problem is fixed until I log and relog.
This happens only from time to time and not everytime I log.

I have the latest drivers for a ATI Radeon HD 5800
Intel Core Quad Q9550 2.83 Ghz
8GB memory
windows 7 64

Some tips from a fellow programmer: when I open the planet it takes 2 seconds and the grafics stalls, I checked it wasn't the CPU but the disk. It seams to be the bottleneck and the problem cause for this for some reason I think the texture wasn't loaded because the disk didn't delivery it on time, maybe a time out somewhere... hope it helps.

I don't think this issue is necessarily tied to the amount of time the client is open.

What seems to trigger it is the number of systems loaded - if I log in, and start moving around right away, the issue can happen within a couple hours. If I log in Monday morning, then go to work and come back, it won't happen until I've been flying around for a few hours. At a guess, it starts happening somewhere between 30 and 50 jumps after login, but as the client doesn't visibly keep track of that information I can't give you a specific number.

Same symptoms as above poster, plus some issues with the map; stars in the starmap lose color (or appear with washed out and incorrect colors) and the solar system map's background loses its blue tint and is replaced with white/grey.

happens to me too. Explosions are a white glow that gets really big then vanishes.
My ship is just a glaring whitish outline of it's self.
etc, etc..


1) Time from starting eve to the issue occurring
Ranges from a few hours to many hours, Never instant or within only a couple hours so far.

2) Are your graphics settings low middle or high?
Max Settings
1920x1080
win7 x64
i7960
x58mobo

3) Graphics card
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680 2gb

4) Memory Size from GPU-z
Seems to occur starting around 1 gig

5) Memory Used at the time of the issue occurring
About 1.6 gig

Glad you're working on it. :)

I disabled "Resource cache" and it hasn't happened to me since.. Might be chance but I'm not sure.

I strongly believe there is a memory leak in the graphics code. As I'm playing, the more I warp around, the faster the issue happens. I'm getting the same problem as everyone else and could easily generate similar screen shots.

It takes about 3-4 hours and the task manager usually displays between 1.5 and 2GB of ram dedicated to the eve exe.

The only time I've had it fix itself was during one session where my video drivers crashed and restarted (happens once every few months, but usually in other games) without killing the game first. RAM usage was still crazy, though.

I believe you could reproduce this issue in this manner:

- set up 2 grids with a large number of entities
- warp back and forth between them
- dock in a station or jump between systems regularly

Ideally with a smaller or older video card that has much less vram.

This is still an open issue being looked into, we'll write more if we need more information.

Hello, I believe I tried to tell you guys about this problem months ago, happy your finally doing something about it...

the earliest I noticed these bugs happening was back in "2012.03.16" thats where my first screenshot is from, it basicly started after the patch just before that... if you want to find the core issue, look into what was changed back then...

on a side note... http://i.imgur.com/LRlax.jpg you should look into this also... don't know if it happens recently anymore... but basicly this happened alot to me when warping to and from mobile warp bubbles... what your seeing is the bubble somehow splattering all over my screen, emitting from the center of my ship...
