Originally by: Kane VanKeio I run a highend i7 pc. As soon as I launch Eve, I hear my fans go nuts. Before patch I could run 3-4clients and everything was fine, but now something is not right. Thought I got some virus first that ate memory, but now I start believing that this latest patch is ****ed up.
I tried AoC at launch and I remember their memory leak problem that made clients crash and freezelag like hell. I am almost 100% sure CCP has some issue like that now, else people would not gotten this problem, even if they have an old or new pc.
EVE has had problems with memory leaks before, during Dominion i think it was. If your computer didn't have uber super duper processing power undocking from stations was a nightmare, as was warping, using jump-gates, and pretty much everything.
The short-term solution was: turn down your graphics
The long term solution was: next patch fixed it \o/
If this is a memory leak, the same solutions should apply. -------------------------

Dear CCCP,
I am petitioning you because BLOOHOOHOO I am dumb and I use nearly minimum spec to run your lovely new graphix engine. Running it on ultra maximum caused it to break, not my own negligence or ignorance to the laws of thermodynamics and I haven't cleaned it for 39485 years because I am fat.

Maybe we can get to the bottom of the problem...
How high did you have the graphics set?
How long did you spend wandering around in the captain's quarters?
Is your computer on a carpeted floor, against a wall, inside an enclosed space, near a t.v, monitor, radiator or other heat source?
How many clients were you running at the time?
How long had your computer been on before loading Incarna?
Does your computer have the necessary power supply to handle utilising it's maximum output for prolonged periods of stress on the hardware?
With these answered we may be able to work out what happened. -------------------------

Although my system hasn't gotten to the 'blow up' stage yet is is running hot enough to fry an egg on the CPU. I can run any current Gen game on max settings at about 70C-75C... Incarna pushes this to almost 90C!(Max rating for my CPU). I've ran my system many times in the past at max load without any heat issues(Hottest it's gotten is around 80C at max load). Something is definitely amiss with this update.

Next couple of questions:
What is the average temperature ratio of your computer whilst it was running on idle?
What was the usual cpu and temperature when running 2 eve clients in the past?
Does all your RAM run at the same mhz or are they different?
The reason I emphasise on the RAM is because I blew out a motherboard and processer, along with 3gb of RAM from running EVE in the past because it was 1 stick of 1gb DDR2 running at 400 mhz and 1 stick of 2gb DDR2 running at 800mhz, because of fluctuation in the RAM speed with the load the whole thing fried as it was trying to operate things at speeds that one RAM stick couldn't handle. -------------------------

It seems to be a lot of people are having issues with their PC's getting well overheated and then imploding..
I don't know why but i ain't got this issue at all, the only problem i got is the fact that my CPU gets cranked up like hell when im using the CQ, but my GPU stays the same o_o

I, also have a relatively new cpu build. This is a re-post from a different thread, figured i would put it in the right place.
i7 950 3.07 GeForce 460 1 GB 8 GB DDR3 1600 RAM Win 7 64bit SSD
I can run every other game at top graphics and not produce the amount heat that incarna gives off on only a single instance of the CQ. Now, im not a graphic designer/coder but i have seen instances where the textures(or UI) get constantly redrawn causing huge amounts of heat to be produced by a GPU. The concern about walking away from my computer while docked in a station, thus causing my GPU to run very hot for extended periods of time, is not something i am very amused by.
The ΔT from 1 client to 2 clients is actually marginal, though.
DXDiags / logserver files available if they would help.

Crossposting this from another thread because I want to be part of the threadnaught.
For real. I have a cooled 8800gt that has never once overheated until last night. Got two BSOD's before stripping out some noncritical hardware and rearranging my PC's innards AND installing another fan under the gfx card. That was all good, but I still have to keep the side panel open to keep the card cool enough.

I'm also suffering from a heavy temperature problem which is why I'm hoping we can all try and work it out. The problem I'm having though isn't with the GPU, it's the CPU, my computer core is designed to shut off at 100 degrees and it does exactly that if i leave the character detail graphics on high and leave CQ on for 10-15 minutes. However turning the detail to med dropped it down to around 85-90 degrees which is damned hot, but not enough to push it into crashing, still, i wouldn't particularly like to leave it like that for a long time.
Eve has had this problem before with Dominion though because of texture rendering, but back then it was on spaceships, in space. The problem never arose whilst in a station looking at the ship.
Until we work out a long-term solution though, I think the safest thing to do would be to either uncheck the 'load station interior' box in the graphics menu, or turn all character rendering graphics options to the lowest possible.
These graphics options are:
Shadow Detail - Disabled Physically Simulated Cloth And Hair - Unchecked Low Quality Characters - Checked Character Detail - Low Station Rendering - Low
Once those changes have been selected, exit the menu and then restart your client, upon loading it back up again you may see a significant improvement in computer processing, and a significant drop in GPU/CPU temperature (though at the same time, it'll look pretty gnarly to look at).
Another possible eventuality, although unlikely, could simply be that the Carbon render system is simply too advanced for current day home computers to utilise efficiently. Seeing as CCP must have quite amazing computers in order to generate the engine in the first place, it would have to be tested on lower-end computers of many different varieties in order to to come to a final evaluation of how it would react to general public use. Given how many varieties of home computer builds that are available to the general public, issues are almost guaranteed to arise with some people. However, THIS many people does seem a little too suspicious for it to simply be a minority problem with certain hardware. -------------------------

The only thing I can think of that could have caused the issue would be that your power supply was pushed too far trying to operate your entire motherboard, sound, graphics, harddrive and RAM all at once at maximum power output from all of them (something we all seem to be encountering), the result would probably be a power surge sent through your computer shorting out most if not all of the things that it was running at the time.
At the moment it seems like the most logical answer. -------------------------

I really hope they don't take away the ability to disable CQ/WIS because IMO its utterly useless and it looks like crap on my laptop... It kinda works, but not very well and everything is grainy and the animations for avvy movement are stilted jittery, non responsive and bad... It needs to be optimized and cleaned up alot... This is really disappointing becuase its becoming a focus of alot of angst and frustration and adds pretty much nothing to the game...
CCP, Please don't force us to use this... Please... It sucks...
I'm sure it has its place for some users, but most of us seem to not appreciate the effort. Let us contineu to ignore it...

Kagu is dead on and the easiest way to work around what is likely some memory leaks in the CQ is to disable station loading in your graphics menu.
See how things run. If its still running hot, hitching or crashing, turn down graphics settings to the minimum level.
CCP will get this stuff fixed but trolling through all that new code will take a bit of time. |

A thought did pop into my head whilst dilligently speeding into town to fetch my next couple of days supply of energy drink, and it was regarding the amount of people who have been posting issues with their laptops.
Somehow I'd completely forgotten beforehand, but I remembered, laptops were never really invented for heavy gaming use, they were designed to be a sort of 'portable office' so that people could do their work on the go. Though there are some laptops designed for gaming, such as Alienware ones (like the one shown by CCP Soundwave during AT9), most were never really designed to give a heavy output of graphics and fast processing. The case that computers are having big problems with Incarna would only double the chance of the issue coming up on a laptop, as it's parts are smaller, more fragile, and more susceptible to heat (I used to play Warcraft through a laptop on my lap and got burn marks from it once... worked great as an iron though to get rid of those unsightly creases).
If anyone here does have a laptop that is able to run Incarna at an acceptable level without the likelihood of it imploding or melting into moon goo, could you please let us know what your system stats are so we can try to work out an average idea of what kind of requirements a laptop needs to run Incarna? -------------------------

GPU = Graphical Processing Unit
CPU = Central Processing Unit
If a graphics card has enough RAM built into it it will attempt to do all the graphical rendering itself whilst the computer does the processing and all the other cool stuff.
If the graphics card does not have the required RAM, or that RAM is already being used by something else, the computer will do it instead.
Well, I 'think' that's how it works anyways. If it is, it answers why some of us have GPU problems, and others have CPU problems. -------------------------

Until an official answer is given the only current possibility I can think of, looking at all the different issues that all happen within the CQ, is that the Carbon rendering engine that creates your character and the Captain's Quarters, as well as the character customiser, either has a serious memory leak problem, or the Carbon engine itself is simply too great a load on computers that aren't top-of-the-range up-to-date super computers. From what it appears Carbon requires a LOT of RAM to operate, and by a lot I'm talking crazy amounts.
I'm using a 2gb DDR2 RAM stick but my VRAM, which is kind of like 'fake' RAM on your harddrive, is set to 50gb, essentially allowing the game to put it's entirity into my computers random access memory and causing it not to work so hard, which is why it's burning, but it's not melting.
Another post I saw from another thread had 6gb RAM and wasn't experiencing huge problems except from more processer usage. Others with 4gb (or maybe more, or less) may not have a huge amount of VRAM on their system and so Carbon is simply pushing the computer to it's brink, then either making it crash, or turning it into bacon.
However another thing I noticed is people running Windows 7 seem to be experiencing issues more frequently than those running Windows XP, though XP users are also getting problems, and so far I haven't seen anything from anyone using Windows Vista (could it be that windows vista is actually GOOD at doing something that other windows aren't? ).
Pondering on the inner workings of Carbon, a possibility in the way it operates could be that every single frame it renders is then processed and then put through some kind of post-process to give it it's huge amount of detail, before being shown on the screen, this entire process from start to finish would be done within an eye-blink, as it would be doing this 30 times every second in order to create a standard frame-rate.
Alternatively it could be that Carbon uses a lot of layer-upon-layer texturing to give it's detail, as this would enable it to seperately shade each texture to make shadows and lights look more realistic, a character could have 100 layers on the face alone just to give a smooth and believable shadow effect along with the small knicks and creases on the characters facial structure. A believable theory given how players were able to construct character faces in whatever way they chose, since the faces alone were created using millions of polygons.
This would generate a lot of processing requirement which would push a computer VERY hard to keep up with how much work it'd have to do to make the frame-rate operate at a usable speed. -------------------------

After talking with a friend of mine who has an extremely powerfull gaming pc, it's fairly safe to deduce that the ultimate problem is indeed with hardware and/or RAM.
So far he hasn't encountered any problems with Incarna at all, not surprising since his computer specs are:
Windows 7 x64 Intel Quad Core 2.8 ghz Geforce 460gtx 8gb DDR3 RAM 800w Power Supply (As far as I can remember them anyhow)
8gb of quick RAM would probably more than compensate for the load Incarna puts on a computer.
If this is indeed the case then I can offer this possible solution (but only for Windows XP as I don't know the desktop of Windows 7):
Go to 'Start > Control Panel > System > Advanced Tab > Click 'Settings' in the Performance area > Advanced Tab > Click Change in the Virtual Memory area > Click on the drive you have windows installed on (Your system drive, usually C:) > Click the Custom Size Button > Type '4094' into the Initial Size (MB) box > Type '10000' in the Maximum Size (MB) box > Click 'Set' > Click ok untill you get back to your desktop > Restart your computer.
Once your computer has rebooted, your computer will automatically use from 4gb to (almost) 10gb of your system drives harddrive space as if it were RAM, allowing Incarna to process information more adequately and thus, decrease hardware stress and high temperatures. -------------------------

Even when a software like the EVE client uses the maximum processing power your CPU and GPU provides, then there is still a safety margin that should stop the system from overheating. Except of course the safety margin was removed by overclocking the system, or some simple hardware failures like dust on your graphic card or your fan.

http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1534046&page=1
There has got to be something else going on. Ive been messing around most of today to see what works best.
Im running Dual core running at 2.6 Ati 5870 1 gig of ram 4 gig Crucial RAM Nvidia 680sli Win 7 pro 64
Ram usage is at a pretty constand 1gig processor is running at 75-85% load GPU is running at 30% load
CPU temp 52c GPU temp 54c ---------
I have since added a 10" case fan which has dropped the CPU temp down to 43" meaning probably a general airflow issue.
The GPU temp I resolved by going into CCC and overriding the fan speed and putting it at 50%. that has brought it down to 44c
In station it runs at 35-45 FPS. Turning off the sound in game for some reason gained another 10FPS
I have tried all graphics settings including OC the gfx card however the load on the card NEVER goes above 30-35%.
I cant work out for the life of my why the CPU is being taxed as much as it is and yet there is hardly any load on the GFX card

I'm not too sure, I just played around with the solution I posted above and have now dropped my cores average temperature to 60 degrees instead of the 90 degrees it was pushing before, the CPU is still being taxed but isn't causing huge temperature problems.
There could be some other issue, but at the moment I'm fairly convinced it has something to do with processing and RAM.
Also yes lots of hardware and software has some kind of safety margin to prevent overheat, however for example, some third party companies remove these safety margins when modifying original products to sell in order to get more power out of them (companies such as Zotac, who modify Nvidia Geforce cards to make them 'better'). It's nowadays quite hard to find an original Nvidia or ATI card, most of them are modified 3rd party ones. -------------------------

Try clearing your computer case and processer fan/heatsink of any dust, if that does not work, try the possible solution mentioned earlier in the thread. -------------------------

Yeah, I'm looking at something in the line of OP. 2 Accounts docked and I'm doing some 1-5 FPS, undock 1 and I go to about 15-20 FPS. I wouldn't dare logging on the 3rd account.
