Please add an option to disable clouds. My laptop I play on has a decent GPU and CPU in it but the clouds just kill my FPS. I can get 50-60 FPS anywhere with all settings at high. However the second I get into one of those clouds even on the lowest settings everything disabled my FPS drops to about 10-5.
I understand the art team works hard on things and I know a big graphics revamp was done but please. Its unfair to make people have to deal with resource sucking clouds that could easily be disabled by a simple toggle in the options. I really want to enjoy the new swing camera and to actually see my ship in space but with the clouds no matter how low I go I flat out can't. I'd love to get a new computer but I just don't have the money for one at this time. |

Sending this to the top as I'm tired of having FPS drop to nothing when I'm in an anom, unless I'm zoomed all the way out. |

I wonder how many pages it'll take before CCP acknowledges this. The clouds are literally the only thing I'm having trouble with, everything else is fine; the new UI, the Inventory, the ship rebalancing. I like everything CCP has done, except for the clouds.....damn those clouds. |

I'm certain it would as modifying the client is against the EULA. Most likely you'd have to disassemble and extract the resource files then change the files and reassemble them which is completely against the EULA. |

This exact question was asked during the Art panel at Fanfest 2012. You might want to look for it, it's in the CCPGAMES channel. Since laziness will probably prevent at least half of you from actually bothering, however:
CCP is aware that the clouds are terrible and they're going to be revamping them and optimized as part of CCP's current overall plan to convert everything in EVE to V3+ for the shift to DX11. Once EVE is DX11, they'll be implementing a new lighting system, including tessellation.
If you're not running a GTX560 or better (or the ATI equivalent), I strongly urge you to prepare for an upgrade.
Hmm so I'm not going to be able to play EVE unless I have a DX11 capable graphics card? Great way to keep players CCP, make us spend hundreds on upgrading our computers. To in turn spend money on playing your game, great business plan right there. |
