Mina Bluerain Merch Industrial Goonswarm Federation 4	Posted - 2013.05.06 15:00:00 - [91] - Quote All right... so THIS and THIS are just plain ridiculous. similar thing happens to me on a daily basis, but this time it just took it all. not only this, but my graphics card, when displaying any kind of clouds, becomes the most efficient pizza oven... on low graphics... every other time I can play with max graphics settings and I have wonderful frame-rate while barely feeling any heat, but when clouds crawl over my face: total disaster. Please, CCP... I know you are busy and I really am happy with the new features that are coming in Odyssey, but if you don't put a switch in to turn all clouds off, then I will... and I won't give a damn about what the TOS has to mention about client modifications... PS: no, I won't do that... don't be silly. But at least, now you can see how mad some of us are...
Knetka Amu Blue Republic RvB - BLUE Republic 1	Posted - 2013.05.06 21:23:00 - [92] - Quote +1 Fix clouds either by removal option or fixing whats wrong with them i like to play up and personal cant be done when i do such look at a enemy and lord no chunky performance just ruins that idea

Some people who been on the dev roundtables on FF, reported that the resolution of dust clouds will come only after they release DX11 version of client. So yeah.. Brace yourself, Summer [heat] is coming. EVE Splash Ads Archive
Keenky Royal Amarr Expeditions 0	Posted - 2013.05.07 09:45:00 - [94] - Quote A pain and nothing else are those "Clouds". I still use and will be using the no-fog tool for my graphic card. Just have to be careful with rendering distance. Even for the cloud harvesters it works, since you dont need to see the clouds in any way.

They are considered as illegal client modifications and it's even more ridiculous if they really help resolve this problem (at least temporarily). Seeing no response from CCP at all on this problem I'm already tempted to say "**** it, i'll use it anyway if it saves my graphics card from burning". EVE Splash Ads Archive

So yeah.. Brace yourself, Summer [heat] is coming. I must have missed it... was it on stream? Never mind, even if it was, I missed a lot of it. So basically what this means is that they do have a grain of a plan, it's just not a priority? If that is true, I can live with that. Until then, I'll keep calm, have graphics on minimum within DED sites and look away from clouds where possible. I'm using an nVidia card, and since the 314.22 update, at least the framerate drop is not THAT bad (if you consider 15-20 fps in contrast to the 8-10 fps any good), but it still heats up like crazy and on minimum graphics settings. "For the night is dark and full of" EVE clouds.

Mina Bluerain Merch Industrial Goonswarm Federation 4	Posted - 2013.05.18 18:07:00 - [98] - Quote Here is some more. I know, I know, I sent 2 already, but this one is an even better example... /me looks out the window in despair patience is a virtue, right? Right, CPP?
Kult Altol Viziam Amarr Empire 272	Posted - 2013.05.19 20:14:00 - [99] - Quote Clouds are fine HTFU. Joking An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and unguarded. A narrow mind is a focused mind.
OfBalance Caldari State 497	Posted - 2013.05.21 16:50:00 - [100] - Quote Death to all super-clouds.

Coffee Rocks Thrall Industrial H-K Industries 4	Posted - 2013.05.21 17:52:00 - [101] - Quote Just adding my voice to the "please do something" crowd. I do the same thing -- pan the camera out and not look at the clouds and structures. Kind of defeats the purpose of having a a beautiful backdrop. o7 n++[ 2013.05.17 22:06:44 ] Josh Fehrnah > Coffee Rocks you are also kos [ 2013.05.17 22:15:07 ] Captain Karrzaka > I luv coffee :P Twitter: @thecoffeerocks Steam: CoffeeRocks

I am not refusing anything :) I am a content designer, I can remove clouds from dungeons but I am not a programmer so giving you the option to toggle clouds on/off is not my area of expertise :) CCP Affinity \| Follow me on Twitter Content Designer for EVE Online

They should just be removed, honestly :) - Either that, or changed to be way more lightweight. I got an Geforce 680 GTX, and i'm getting FPS drops in any plex / anomaly that has clouds in it, granted i do run more than one client(who doesn't?) But it still feels wierd having 100 fps+ Going down to 20, whenver you warp into a site that has clouds. One of the worst examples is the guristas HQ complex series, that tower in the very first room... Ugh :X My poor computer...

OfBalance Caldari State 503	Posted - 2013.05.23 00:15:00 - [107] - Quote Taking them out of any place one can is a move in the right direction and hopefully the word is being passed along that the clouds must be purged in general.
Charlie Jacobson 168	Posted - 2013.06.05 00:36:00 - [108] - Quote The "Blood Farm" mission has this terrible cloud that generates waaaay more heat than it should. http://i.imgur.com/QtM7M1K.jpg ^This is NOT pretty. Get rid of clouds altogether. It causes heat issues even in high end gaming rigs. I shudder to think of what this would do to an old laptop. OfBalance wrote: Taking them out of any place one can is a move in the right direction and hopefully the word is being passed along that the clouds must be purged in general. ^ Pretty much this, OR using a whole different (less resource intensive) rendering method for them. Currently they are the only things in EVE that ever make my fans speed up in the summer. Other games I play never do this unless I run stupidly high anti-aliasing.

A lot of the new exploration containers have clouds around them. They seem to be part of the graphic and aren't as bad as the mission clouds, but they still cause unneeded GPU stress/FPS hits while trying to play the stupid zoomed in grab-a-can game.
