Yes same problem here, and it's not jumping because i'm sticking to 1 system and it just gets slower and slower to the point of being near unusable.

Happened to me with single char on, while jumping thru wh, and changing from map. Fps from 40-50 to uplayable 1fps

On my laptop, same thing with 3 clients, on stargate this time from 40 fps to 3-8.

+1 from my corp as well.

As Snorlax said, we're investigating. It would really help if people experiencing this issue told us how many clients they're running, how much RAM they have and what type of video card. Either as a reply to this post or in a bugreport.

Thanks

I don't believe this problem has to do with multiple clients, but rather opening multiple clients simply compounds the issue.
I get this major slowdown on a single client. Graphics settings have almost no effect on FPS. I'm running 8 GB DDR3 RAM, ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4670, and Core 2 Duo 2.93 GHz.

Thanks for your posts, we believe that we're closing in on a fix.

Same here, single-client with dual monitor in fixed-windows mode. Graphics card is AMD HD 6870, latest catalyst drivers.

Please look into this, the game is unplayable right now :(

Thanks for your posts, we believe that we're closing in on a fix.

Hi, the fix I was referring to is currently on Singularity. If any of you have time, we'd really appreciate it if you could see if this build resolves your issue. The fix concerns persistence of settings, something that this fine thread clued us into. Given that, please keep a careful eye out for saving of client settings, including window layout, etc. Thanks for your patience in this matter

Instructions for connecting to the Singularity Test Server can be found here: http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Singularity

I've just been on Singularity and I'm still getting <8 FPS on a single client while sitting in station. No improvement I can notice.

Could you please send a bugreport through the ingame bugreporting tool at F12 from Singularity, while this issue is happening? Please include a screenshot of your client, with open fps monitor (ctrl+f) and client monitor (ctrl+alt+shift+m).

Thanks!

Tested it, I was trying to do the stuff I usually do on Tranquility but so far I see no difference I must say. But again when I hide my UI (for screenshot) , seems the framerate goes up quite significantly.

Done, I hope it helps.

I experienced similar performance issues.
Hiding the UI does also increase FPS significantly on my clients.
In addition to that I noticed that anti aliasing sets itself to High from Disabled, from time to time when I undock form a station. When I enter captain quarters for example it is turned off but when I enter hangar view it is turned on again. There is no way to disable or change other than to restart the client, AA for me when it enabled itself like this.


I will update Singularity and run some tests there.

My Mac is effected as well.

iMac 27", Mid 2011
3.1Ghz Intel Quad Core i5
16GB Ram
ATI Radeon HD 5750 1024 MB graphics
Mac OSX Lion 10.7.4

It really feels like single client is worse but the problem is deeply shown when running two, then it shows its exponentially worse over time.

Happens to me when I run three accounts. When I open my third account everything works fine for a bit, 60 FPS across all three clients. But if I undock even one character BAM every client drops to 6-7 FPS and will stay that way until I log off, not even re-docking helps.

Not sure if i'm right but all of the specs i've read that seem to have this issue are using Nvidia cards, or did i miss something?

I'm getting the same issue (And the socket closing one) since patch, i've comfortably run two clients before now the only slowdown i noticed pre patch was opening the same planet for PI in both windows, but now its almost everything i do. If i try to warp both clients at the same time, my PC just begs for mercy :(.

I'm using a slightly old Nvidia card too, just thought that might have something to do with it is all :S. Hope we get a fix soon though!

We've tracked down a likely culprit and are working on a fix. Sometimes seemingly innocent changes in low-level rendering code can have unforeseen side effects.
.

Whatever the patch changed.
The sideeffect is that it has no effect. *scnr*

Hi!

Our test-server Singularity was just updated with a patch for these performance problems. We found some issues in our rendering code, which caused the GPU being flooded with very small requests. This has been fixed now on Singularity and we assume that this will solve the performance problems or at least reduce them a lot.

It would be awesome if you could help us by testing this on Singularity, as we have still trouble with reproducing the issue reliably in-house. Please report back here, if it worked for you, or if you client is still totally slow.

fps seems to be back (60fps) on each clients i bring to front @ sisi, so thats a relieve! patch asap!!
(however the fps is gaining again in the background witch was dropping(= less load) before patch, can u have a look at that to? )

win XP 64
24GB
I7 975 (3.3Ghz)

But then again, there's no one else flying ships and nothing to create enough lag (no POS where I landed). So hopefully I can test more and find something to fill up my brackets and overview.

Still completely unplayable for me. I get 60 FPS just fine as long as I stay in space in one system. I can shoot at people or rats and everything is peachy.

However, any of the following will drop me to about 2 or 3 FPS, roughly 50% of the time: jumping through to another system, or docking, or undocking, or opening the star map, or opening the market window.

Bug Report Number?

We have deployed one fix to TQ today to address the ongoing rendering performance issues players are experiencing. Based on our testing on Singularity, many players have experienced improvements but this is not a conclusive fix and we are continuing to investigate.

If you are still having performance problems after today's patch, please tell us about it here. Alternatively you can submit a bug report through the in-game bug reporting tool (F12), this will capture useful diagnostic information about your system.

looking forward to testing it on sisi

more wanting it to get to tranquility asap :P

Just tested again in TQ:
1 Client Docket in Jita
1 Client flying in space.

Both startet frm the same installation dir.
Both have over 60 FPS.

jita char undocket, everthing is peachy.
Jita char docket, BOOOOOM. 5 fps, even non eve stuff like winamp does not work smooth anymore.
The 5 fps stays until i close the jita char.

IGÇÖm running 7 clients, never had a problem before. Now after updating all the clients "forget" the name of the account, they all used to remember their corresponding account name. And they also work fine for a while after launch, but i get a crippling slowdown. The slowdown doesnGÇÖt come with time; it seems it gets triggered after doing a system jump, but not every time.

As soon as the slowdown starts all clients become unplayable, and the only way around it is to logoff or quit the game.

Seems itGÇÖs NOT a problem with the hardware or the gfx of the game, rather something that runs almost every time i jump system. I say this because if it were a gfx problem it wouldnGÇÖt go away with a logoff with no restart.

The problem persists regardless of client graphic settings, cache clearing, toilet flushing, or incense burning.


Anyone else has this problem?


Small update:

most ppl who are reporting this slowdown, also report that the VGA load goes down, as if the video card goes on idle mode. besides including your hardware specs also check if you notice the load/cooling/temp on your vga going down.

AAAARGH!!!

I have major LAG problems so i found this thread. This all sound very similar what im facing. All is good when i run only 1 client but when i log another client in game went so laggy it took 10secs settings page to open from esc button. Note i had both characters in same system. Lag wasnt that terrible when i reduced other client display settings. But when i undocked that alt my whole comptur froze like 15 secs. I didnt have any lag problems before this latest patch. I used to run 2 clients with max grapics and world of tanks same time with this computer. Its also pretty new comp so it shouldnt be reason for lag.

- 3,4ghz quad core
- hd4870
- 4gb ddr3
- 64 bit win 7

This really sux more than the stupid inventory did. Now i cant really play this game anymore. Except maybe with 1 char but whats the fun in that...

Edit: Also i noticed that when the major lag hits my cpu usage is only 40% and memory usage is only around 60%.

Eve still effectively unplayable for me. I should mention that unlike a lot of the above posters, I'm not multiboxing, and only have one graphics card. So I don't think it's an issue with running multiple clients or multiple cards at once per se, it's probably just that whatever issue exists gets worse when you have 2+ clients that might trigger it at once.

Unless there's an emergency patch today, this will mark one full week of completely-unplayable Eve. :(

Im in the same position as yourself, 1 client 1 gfx card and 1 week of non eve time.

Adobe flash player
Try to uninstall it.
Then Reinstall it.
JUST TRY IT
so far its worked and update your drivers too

The latest changes (fix for Anti-aliasing and writing settings) are on Singularity now. It would be awesome, if you could try them out and report back in this thread.

seems to be fixed on sisi, you should test there if its fixed for you.

i'm an owner of a EVGA GTX 670, installed on seven x64 with whql lastest driver 301.42. On singularity like tq i cant undock because all goes in slowdown after some second then i log in. Every time i launch eve after a few minutes i must reset from the case button!

i tried some different setup from the nvidia control panel but nothing, after some time with only ONE client open all goes slowdown (WM aero included). I tried also the beta driver, but the max time before the slowdown is 20 minutes!

With all other games there are no problems, please fix this issue soon, i play eve from 3 years and now i'm in delve for the war!!! Is a ******* stress that i can't log in because eve for me just now is unplayable

also looks like a nasty memory leak, was monitoring task manager processes with one client logged in started at around 650kk and crept up to over 1gb memory used and still rising even when idle docked in station

Could you please send a bugreport with as many details as possible? If you already sent one, then please reply with the id of it. Is it possible to send an ingame bugreport after the slowdown started, or is it too bad at this point? Getting any kind of logs (either through the ingame bugreporting or through logserver.exe) would be very important. A screenshot (best with open fps monitor and client monitor (ctrl+alt+shift+m)) and your detailed video settings would also be very interesting.

Strange... Logged on, flew around a bit, jumped a few systems. so thought the issue was fixed. Managed to mission successfully, but on my way back to agent, I opened Internet Explorer, went to a webpage, and the frame rate immediately dropped to around 2.5...

This is getting ******** now, having to restart the client after every 9-10 jumps or so as memory usage is upwards of 1.5gb and rising with every session change plus fps rates are all over the place, either deploy the fix thats on sisi or rollback the damn server, or are you going to replace every loss incured because of this ****** patch

Please try running with the LogServer and file a bug report, attaching the log. Put my name in the header of the bug report so it gets to me quicker and I'll take a look. We have not seen memory leaks of this nature inhouse, so I'm curious to see logs from your sessions.

I am seeing the main problem still on TQ. It acts like a memory leak to me--progressive through various session changes in the game. I am however seeing it fixed in SISI. I simultaneously auto-piloted four accounts last night 30 jumps on sisi and the problem did not manifest.

I did notice on SISI that the hanger graphic/animation freezes on dock up. Basically the ship wont spin but everything else works just fine including right clicking your ship. Its just wierd not seeing your ship spin and makes me think internet spaceships are not real and I should go get some exercise or spend time with my friends lol.

If you need a bug report on TQ for the main problem, and or on Sisi on the ship spin problem I can do it. Do you need these?

While I appreciate the vigor in which you are personally putting to resolve this issue, I'd suggest that CCP invest time and people in fast, easy, and idiot proof tools for customers to report bugs if CCP is going to rely so heavily on them for QA. The instructions look easy enough but between replicating the problem, using the log server, reading all instructions, and filling out the bug form, its going to take an hour out of my time which frankly is a bit much for a product I pay for.

Thanks,

Seb

I'll see if we can repro the ship spin problem - I'll get back to you if I need more information - don't worry about the formal bug report.

Are u shitting me, what about the probs making the game near unplayable ie the huuuuuuuuuuuuge memory leak, and ur fixing the damn ship spinner, way to go ccp borked patch after borked patch and u worry about the stupid ship spinner

Bug Report 139802 updated.


EDIT: As to ship-spinning.. I don't suppose the complainant has unchecked the "Load Station Environment" box?

Confirming that AA off on a 8500GT from Nvidia Control Panel for eve online, seems to have solved the issue with fps drop when docking/undocking and jumping systems.

Is this patch on TQ?
Because two of my corp mates say multiboxing now works for them.

Yes, we have a fix now out on TQ. We're still keeping an eye out for more issues, but the latest fix should address the most severe cause of slowdown.

Thanks for the work to address the various problems so far. But are you implying that you know of other perhaps less severe issues and this remediation is ongoing?
