Lin-Young Borovskova Science and Trade Institute Caldari State 42	Posted - 2012.05.22 20:21:00 - [1] - Quote Jarne wrote: It started with the "improvement" of ship (shader) models in what was called the "premium client" back then. All T1 Caldari ships got the same boring blue, all Gallente ships got that TERRIBLE highly-toxic-waste-green, etc.. I still hate the Gallente T1 style. Nice T2 hulls like the Phobos got their colors totally washed out (I really liked the "classic" pink!). Also the Ishkur, Ishtar, and so on. Now it hit the nicest (IMO) of all T2 ship hulls, and it hit them badly: Paladin, Absolution, Retribution. Did I forget one of those lovely ships patterned in gold and blood? Now the blood has dried, and it stinks :-(. Edit: I totally forgot the Guardian, the Crusader and the Pilgrim, well and the Ark I think... To make it worse, the nice Redeemer green is hardly a green anymore o.O. Anybody else dislikes where this is going? On the plus side, I really liked (and still like) the new Navy Geddon and Apocalypse painting. The new Damnation is also pretty awesome. I don't think I have the absolute response, however may I ask you to consider some points: -Directx used in Eve is not the latest one -Hardware speaking, witch one is your graphic card? -witch leads to some other questions: Are your drivers up to date? Did you installed clean drivers and not on top (ATi GC's essentially since those are known for their horrible drivers) Are you using some experimental drivers? (you shouldn't, but it's a personal opinion) Are you sure your GC is working perfectly? (clean of all dust, proper drivers, proper connections/input(voltage) Just a simple example and this is good for ATi as for nVidia cards, if you don't have the proper power plant in your system this can make you have tons of horrible graphic bugs. Be sure this is correct for your setup, many manufacturers offer you the possibility to watch this out with simple programs you can trust (known manufacturer) I do have some issues with my GC too, however those are annoying only after at least 1K players in the same system. Doesn't mean I have a perfect stuff or whatever, far from me, but those little points can increase the number and quality of issues you can experience.

Same card and drivers look great before update. Now look like **** after udpate I can actually tell you the opposite. Maybe the problem doesn't come from your hardware but from the high opinion you have of your own hardware knowledge?
