Col Arran Concordiat Tribal Band 45	Posted - 2012.12.12 04:00:00 - [1] - Quote 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.
Kusum Fawn State War Academy Caldari State 229	Posted - 2012.12.12 04:18:00 - [2] - Quote This comes up every so often on various forums around here, its a great idea but CCP has said no or completely ignored it in the past. Something about making the art department cry. I for one would love to be able to turn off many of the space cloud effects or brighten the rest of space, or change the text colors to be dynamic to backgrounds lots of things. Its not possible to please all the people all the time, but it sure as hell is possible to Displease all the people, most of the time.
DSpite Culhach Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 4	Posted - 2012.12.12 04:26:00 - [3] - Quote I have wondered how much work it would be to just have a button that forced say "wireframe" mode or something like that. I mean, as far as real mechanics, it would just be a custom visualization from the onboard computer, turning every object that it can see and scan, think of it as the difference between a google maps view of the streets compared to a satellite picture ... what we are trying to see is the tactical info, and we don't care/dont want a superbright sun or cloud blocking everything. The engine already draws everything, and theres lots of options to turn down that detail, so why not adda button IN GAME that basically is a custom much-lower-detail-with-a-twist and call it "tactical"
androch Lasting Forge Holding Rebel Alliance of New Eden 2	Posted - 2012.12.12 09:13:00 - [4] - Quote god iu guess its too ***** much to ask for the ***** assholes to remove the goddamn clouds... im running on a brand new i7 and a 7970 graphics card and those stupid clouds in mission areas even bog my computer down to 20 frames

I have a pretty beefy computer and even it has a slight hick-up with these things. Not to mention they are just too bright. Yeah, I have a pretty decent system and I still get a slight frame drop around these assets. I agree that they're too bright as well. Just yesterday I was running an L4 and couldn't see some UI elements because of the intense cloud brightness. Furthermore, the distribution and texture detail on a majority of cloud assets is downright ugly.
Mund Richard 35	Posted - 2012.12.13 18:46:00 - [9] - Quote Oh yes, it would improve my fps more than making my spaceships ugly in the setting, and I'd also like the result more as well, even aesthetically. Since you know, playing this game for the internet spaceship, as opposed to shiny clouds. Sarcasm can be like drugs.
Asudem Asen of Asgard 33	Posted - 2012.12.14 01:40:00 - [10] - Quote I can play 3 chars on allmost high details without heavy lags, but when I entered the second pocket of the "Recon" mission, the framerate drops down to a slide show. They need a serious performance revamp or a disable-checkbox!

Now we have other fish to fry.

Sobaan Tali Caldari Quick Reaction Force 99	Posted - 2012.12.16 18:07:00 - [19] - Quote I've agreed to this in several other older posts regarding this and still stand by it. At least a toggle function, hell we can turn engine trails off for **** sake but trails don't murder your fps like clouds do, and you can't even see very well at all with some of them.
Zee87 Black Lancers Ressurection 0	Posted - 2012.12.16 19:21:00 - [20] - Quote I've got a Core i5 3570K and a GTX 670... The game normally runs at 60fps constant, but in missions with certain types of cloud/gas/fog, it slows down to 20fps! These effects are very crude, and very unoptimized.

cBOLTSON Star Frontiers THORN Alliance 102	Posted - 2012.12.16 21:08:00 - [21] - Quote Confirmed , I run a overclocked rig, its pretty good can play BF3 etc and full settings with over 30 fps. Yet in eve as soon as I go near clouds of gas or what ever, my fps is reduced a hell of a lot. The load put on my GPU and CPU spikes considerably.

Oberine Noriepa 1058	Posted - 2012.12.17 16:48:00 - [22] - Quote Shall we keep this going until a developer comments on it?
Mara Rinn Cosmic Goo Convertor Cosmic Consortium 2251	Posted - 2012.12.17 21:59:00 - [23] - Quote The devs made some changes to some dust clouds already: you can see different clouds in Massive Attack and Ritualist Raids amongst others. However the gains made from those new clouds are completely obliterated by the new UI - I blame the T-marks around all NPCs which brighten up when that target is within range of the weapon you are hovering over. My current system grinds to a halt (literally, 0 fps or closer to about 15 seconds per frame) when there are more than half a dozen NPCs on field. This is worse in missions with dust clouds. How many of you still have severe frame rate penalties when sitting in empty mission spaces with clouds? That is, after the NPCs are all dead and the salvaging is completed. There is still more work that needs to be done, but the art team have done some good stuff so far with sorting out the graphical millstone that is dust clouds in missions.

Kirkwood Ross AWE Corporation Intrepid Crossing 7	Posted - 2012.12.17 22:02:00 - [24] - Quote Please allow an option to disable clouds. The only way to deal with them currently is to zoom way out and then my FPS recovers.
RangerGord Rothschild's Sewage and Septic Sucking Services The Possum Lodge 13	Posted - 2012.12.18 00:56:00 - [25] - Quote Is this another thing the devs refuse to pay attention to as compared to updated spelling errors that have in some cases been in place for years? Or heaven forbid making major changes to frequently used systems and outright breaking them despite warnings? This definitely needs attention... the only mission cloud I ever cared about they took away (the green space in Recon Pt 3), now all I see is boring space with random junk floating around. Sadly it seems like the devs don't quite have their priorities in the right place (based on several major expansions worth of testing and attempted feedback), so why start now? Why fix something that is actually broken or having a negative impact on current gameplay?
Arcosian EntroPrelatial Industria EntroPraetorian Aegis 42	Posted - 2012.12.18 01:30:00 - [26] - Quote I'm in favor of removing clouds entirely. With the new UI I'm already getting almost double the resource requirements for RAM and CPU load and every time I warp into a mission with a cloud I get a massive FPS hit and have to zoom all the way out unless I want to play "slideshow online." This is space. It's supposed to be empty so we don't need a ton of clouds or random collideable objects that NPC/players get stuck on.
Col Arran Concordiat Tribal Band 47	Posted - 2012.12.18 20:11:00 - [27] - Quote 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.

Given the sophistication of shipboard sensors it seems obvious that the tactical mode/wireframe mode would strip that out as unnecessary clutter as it may hinder the decision making process with disastrous results.

They look bad, and significantly drop frame rates on even high end machines. The inability to turn these god awful effects off is amatuer at best, c'mon ccp...

DSpite Culhach Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 8	Posted - 2012.12.20 17:18:00 - [35] - Quote Also, no offence CCP, I fully understand you were trying to make space prettier, but you have to remember that most of those clouds, being pure white, will basically allow our LCD backlights, which have nothing to do with light in space to shine into our retinas at whatever brightness level we have set. I just googled "nebulas" and not a single one of them cause my retinas to shut down. Does EVE even have a gamma slider?

Redo those gas/dust clouds, make them work properly.
Lili Lu 611	Posted - 2012.12.20 18:55:00 - [37] - Quote Signed many times over. This has been brought up before in many threads. However, it appears to never get any response from the devs, so it needs repeating. They need to respond and tell us why they just can't take them out until they figure out some featuer that doesn't tax a computer so heavily. It adds nothing to gameplay and in fact detracts from it when the damn things are so bright they hurt the eyes. Get rid of the ******* things CCP FFS

Col Arran Concordiat Tribal Band 51	Posted - 2012.12.21 16:13:00 - [42] - Quote 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.

JamieFattius Auduin The Fated E.Y 0	Posted - 2012.12.24 22:45:00 - [48] - Quote +1 to either a toggle that hides non-harvestable gas clouds, or to a dramatic re-work of cloud effects with performance in mind. Due to entirely unrelated issues, I recently had to switch from a Radeon HD6950 to a HD6570. I now can't have clouds in my FOV without my framerate dropping to ~10FPS. (Previously, my framerate never dropped appreciably below 60 FPS.) I know that creating a reasonably fast 3D renderer is actually really tricky, so I can totally sympathize when performance regressions happen. Perhaps you guys could have a couple of medium-to-low-end test machines in the office to be alerted to these sorts of issues really early on? :)
Inaishite Teikei Guatrau-Teikei Exploration 0	Posted - 2012.12.24 23:30:00 - [49] - Quote This has also been bugging me. I've got no problem with graphics whatsoever until I fly into a cloud and everything gets choppy, even on low settings. Not to mention the UI is sometimes invisible on its background. While I can zoom out, this is still almost game-breaking and certainly very annoying. I searched for a way to turn it off in the menus but to no avail. Please get rid of this effect or let us turn it on/off.
Rena Kenni Alt Holding Corp 1	Posted - 2012.12.25 13:02:00 - [50] - Quote It wouldnt be such an issue... If you know, such a large part of the playerbase wasnt directly effected by these damn clouds. If it isnt the massive drop in FPS from them simply being on your screen, its the fact that you cannot even tell whats going on many times because you are completely blinded by... Clouds. At this point, you guys gotta man up (whoever is keeping these worthless objects in game) and accept the fact that while it may add a tiny amount of flavor, it reduces the enjoyment of many people simply because of how badly it effects them. That is not a trade off you guys should be willing to make to keep a few replaceable employees happy.

Asudem Asen of Asgard 41	Posted - 2012.12.29 09:11:00 - [51] - Quote bumped by Macha Clouds still suck d***s! Next time Im facing a mission where I expect a massive FPS drop, I record it and send it as petition. Hopefully that will gets CCPs attention.
Jimmy Hawks Center for Advanced Studies Gallente Federation 6	Posted - 2012.12.30 08:21:00 - [52] - Quote I support this idea. The only thing that slows down my Machine are those clouds in the Mission pockets. I don't want CCP to completely remove them (some people might have a liking in those clouds and probably Super-Computers that can handle them just fine), but an -OPTION- to toggle them on/off would be really perfect. This OPTION would be win/win for everyone. So please CCP, pay attention to this, since it obviousely is an issue that many of us Capsuleers have.
Jack Harvey Iron Inquisition 0	Posted - 2013.01.04 08:38:00 - [53] - Quote +1 for the option. A counter point I could see is something like in counterstrike or call of duty - where turning off smoke makes you see through it (negating its existance). However, your overview as well as an actual icon on screen gives you the information you need anyway, BUT! A cloud could shroud what type of weapons the enemy ship has, if only for a few moments. That reason would truly be a rarity though since most cloud parties are in mission pockets.

Onomerous Shockwave Innovations Shockwave Sovereign Industries 1	Posted - 2013.02.21 16:26:00 - [58] - Quote Finally... a problem which actually needs to be fixed in F&I!!! There have been a few posts by CCP regarding this issue but they've not actually fixed it. There's no doubt (based on posts by CCP reps) they are aware there is a problem. Hopefully they will fix a true problem before spending vasts amounts of time on issues which aren't a problem with a fix which makes things worse.
Leskit The Night Wardens Viro Mors Non Est 10	Posted - 2013.02.21 17:22:00 - [59] - Quote Signed. While I haven't seen a noticeable drop in framerates yet (i7 920, gtx 660ti), I usually only run 1 toon, sometimes two. I don't have experience with hi sec anoms, but I live in W-space. There are plenty of sites across the different classes where you warp in and the immediate response on coms is OH GOD MY EYES...IT BURNS!!! The brightness on the white/blue/purple clouds is expecially intense, and needs to be reworked, tossed, or dimmed signifigantly. It's not fun to be running sites, warp in, and have some dumb-a$$ blue-white nebula trigger a migraine. It shouldn't be painful. Zooming all the way out is the best option i've come up with so far to deal with it in real-time.
Ollister Luthor Venture Syndicate 0	Posted - 2013.02.25 19:35:00 - [60] - Quote Signed as well. The fact that they make most text invisible should be enough of a problem, but the FPS drop I experience makes these super annoying.

DSpite Culhach Sebiestor Tribe Minmatar Republic 80	Posted - 2013.02.26 23:57:00 - [63] - Quote I'm pretty sure we could get "graphic options" that have noting to do with adding code and have a lot more to do with DISABLING code from running, the same way we already have "disable missiles effects" for example. I'd be perfectly happy to have have a bunch of lines and arrows in place of a lot of the special effects we are getting now so I could stick in tactical view, zoomed out and see it happen like in a game of DefCon. Yes yes, I do like "pretty" but for screenshots. Once in combat however, having icons in space that represent ship classes, rather then just flashing red boxes, with a directional arrow for flight vectors, including little dots for missiles etc etc would be a lot better to follow in my head and probably a lot faster to draw. I suddenly woke up thinking I had a nightmare, then remembered I can't even fly Amarr Battleships.

Radhe Amatin Caldari High Prime P R I M E 7	Posted - 2013.03.01 11:54:00 - [66] - Quote +1 to this.... I prefer to play with tactical screen on and zoom out to see a bigger chunk of the battle field..... but some of the clouds are just to dense, and at that zoom level u cant see what objects are in the cloud .... and some times i bump into them when i try to manual fly and kite the rats... so i have to zoom in to see what around then zoom out ..and its getting frustrating to keep zooming in and out for every change in course. So pls make an option to turn them on/off. Some people like to have a awesome looking cloud to watch fine play the with option on, some people have their frame rate murdered by them witch can make the gameplay rather dull give them an option to improve their experience and some people like me consider they are just in the way of my play style. So why not make an option to accommodate all your paying customers?

Wilhelm Ormand Arizona Republic Black Arboria 0	Posted - 2013.03.01 16:29:00 - [70] - Quote Jep, I would really like to see an option to disable the clouds, or at least turn them into something that might be less good looking but at least let's me play missions above 3 fps. Either way, with or without option, the clouds definitely need a performance improvement / rendering overhaul.

Alvatore DiMarco Capricious Endeavours Ltd 28	Posted - 2013.03.02 11:23:00 - [75] - Quote Ignoring half of this thread to say.... 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.

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.

Atm, framerates drop form 60 to 0-5 when watching the ship close to a cloud. The bad thing about it: Those clouds make the game unplayable zoomed in, and zoomed out (what you have to do if you don't want your legs toasted) they are so goddamn ugly they look like mushrooms. I'm also wondering why those clouds draw so many ressources, they look like simple jpegs that align to your camera and by comparison, even the winamp visualisations are closer to looking like nebulae. And those are some 5kb shader...

As an Amateur-Astronomer i can attest, that in real space if you're in a gas cloud or nebula in most cases you wouldn't even realize that you're in one, because the gas is spread loose over billions of km. The famous pictures from Hubble and other big Telescopes are photographicaly exposed over many minutes, even hours and made in combination with narrowband optical filters. Our eyes would never see real space in the Eve-Comic-Style. Beside of this, physical behavior of ships are also completely unreal, but hey, it's a game... To make long things short: Would be nice to get rid of these damn Clouds and an "Realistic Space"- Option would be great. Please fix this issue CCP or leave at least a concrete Statement.

RavenTesio Liandri Corporation Liandri Covenant 100	Posted - 2013.04.05 13:33:00 - [90] - Quote It isn't that the "Clouds" aren't optimised, but rather they still heavily rely on DirectX 9 Fixed-Function Pipeline for the Alpha operations... something that ironically a 2005 Graphics Card Is better designed to handle than a modern card that has to emulate it which is incredibly slow. They are probably one of the few legacy systems that haven't changed since release. This is not the same as GPU Particles (which you can turn off) that are still not ideal performance wise, again because the engine uses DirectX 9 instead of DirectX 11. What I would probably suggest would be that the Clouds were redeveloped as a Shader, but with the graphics level they could enhance it with Volumetric (which is easy enough to fake actually for performance means, but they could due Soft Particle Volumetric) still point is if they worked on it they could be far better performance wise and utilise them for more than just cloud pockets but also ship explosions and nebulae.

The aforementioned clouds make my laptop breathe fire and my rather old, but still decent desktop to run at 1-2 FPS. I don't care who this might displease, it's an option that every modern (non-console ported) game has. I'd never complain about the amount of options available, but particle effects need to be there, as they are among the heaviest resource drains. Also, about someone mentioning wireframe mod - why not include something like the tactical screen from the Homeworld series or Sword of the Stars? EVE combat is meant to be controlled in a similar manner to a strategy game anyway. I would personally love to have the option to move my ship around in a more precise way than double clicking - the Homeworld 2 system for navigating a fleet in 3d space will tie in nicely with the tactical layout, that currently i don't believe is something that serves any good purpose as neither maneuvering, nor information tool (overview has all the distances and is plain better at presenting the information, unless you have a really small screen).

Maybe that's because I got used pretty quick to manually set the camera view to avoid looking at cloud effects because of their brightness. Without that additional camera control I was barely able to see anything while navigating my ship through sites with large cloud effects. At the moment the only real use for cloud effects seems to be making fancy screenshots. Besides that the possible advantage of having a nice view into space while playing is just negated by its downsides.

Spaminator 501st Imperial Legion Unknown Destination 7	Posted - 2013.05.17 13:49:00 - [113] - Quote Love the art in EVE. However... clouds reverse the experience of immersion by making an uncomfortable (or noticeable) change in frame rate no matter what kind of system you are playing on. If you don't want to enable players to remove the effect of a cloud, you could opt for the "kill cloud option" to produce a simple reduced visibility range. This option would be visually striking as the star background would disappear into darkness- only close objects would be visible... etc. and the best part: the frame rate would INCREASE. Lots of 3d games use this fog of war kind of option- players would be familiar with it already... and it would add a creepy effect to the environment. Imagine- things go dark except for close objects... and when the NPCs spawn and attack... their missiles and gun fire seem to come out of nowhere... you can still target them but it adds to a more dramatic and immersive experience. Cheers!

Johan Toralen Clockwork X3 23	Posted - 2013.05.17 17:11:00 - [115] - Quote These fps issues are usualy caused by overdraw. Basicly in layman terms when transparent textures overlap each pixel has to be calculated and recalculated multiple times before its final color is decided. It adds up the more layers there are. And as you zoom in more of your screenspace pixels are affected. Your gpu runs out of its fiullrate capacity hence fps drops even more. What adds to it in eve are transparent menus and now the new system scan overlay. It affects good hardware aswell because then you usualy have post processing and shader effects enabled that add to the number of times a pixel gets calculated on top of it. Usualy what can be done about it from a developers perspective is to cut down on the number of geometry planes of transparent objects, cutting out the texture via geometry (for instance a transparent texture with a round light source you don't just put it on a square plane but shape the geometry as tight as possible to the part of the texture that is actualy used, even if it adds to the polycount it is cheaper to render), implement fallbacks in the materials that make use of cheaper to render textures and of course optimization of the gfx engine the game runs on.

"Removed all clouds from the Hacking and Archaeology sites to resolve the FPS issues." and from 1.0.7. " We have removed the clouds from the Central Guristas Transmitter site We have removed the clouds from the Central Angel Survey site." So, patience Eyago, patience. out of patience. this is reported since at least 3 years ago, it was already a big issue for years when i joined in 2010. CCP failed at removing them from anom, they removed em from MOST Hacking and Archaeology anoms, but not all, they still pop in some, and i don't even talk about combat anom / mission... 3+ years for this.....pathetic
