ValiumX	Posted - 2005.07.10 17:07:00 - [1] Will running two eve client have any problems to my graphic card? I mean like running it for hours both simultaneously. Anyway to reduce it stress load on my graphic card?

Blydchyld	Posted - 2005.07.11 09:35:00 - [3] Not a huge amount of loading i would guess. However, i would seriously reccomend that you have some good cooling in your case. ------------------------------------------------ I want you to be a fish.

(You may need to create a user on your machine for this...give it aleast power user rights) log into your second account. You can not log into eve with the same account twice you need a second account. I have ran clients for hours this way without any problems.

Also, this is best done on a system with a pentium chip with HT, hardly no lagging then. You do 2 accounts at same time on an Athlon based pc and unless its ultra fast chip then the lag builds up pretty quick and may eventually cause a ctd to one or both accounts.

Well i run 3 accounts at the same time on one amd athlon xp 2600 with 1gb ram and a ati radeon 9800 xt. As long i turn the sound off i can play 8 hours or more without any ctd or any other probs. but i noticed the new patch lowered the performance for a small tick if running all 3 acc's. seems to be local network lag somehow... but im not sure.
ALUN	Posted - 2005.07.12 19:20:00 - [7] dang, wish i cud do that, thought it was same for all athlon based pc's.
Cadadon	Posted - 2005.07.12 23:33:00 - [8] Its not graphics that are the problem with running multiple clients, its the CPU. Ever looked at the percentage that EVE uses of your CPU? Its normally over 70%. So 2 clients that want over 70% doesn't work, hence you get lag. Obviously lowering settings will help, but so far i haven't found a way of it using less CPU. A P4 with HT will help a lot. Cad

I used to be able to run 3 clients with no problems. Sound on, etc. P4 3.0, HT, 1 GiG mem, GeForce 5200FX. Now, with the current patch I can only run 2 clients with sound. The third client, whichever order I pick it in, causes my to PC restart after a minute, give or take (I start to hear a stutter in the sound). So I have to run without sound. That's seems a bit much. Like watching TV with no sound. Of course all my drivers are updated. I was advised by support to write "audio=0" in the perf file in the cache, and in fact to label cache as cache2 so another cache would be formed. How can they write a patch where you have to, for all effect, delete your current cache? Sounds like bad programming. Early tests indicate I can turn on sound on 2 accounts once all 3 are up, but I can't hear the mining lasers. Turning the thrd account's sound on causes the same restart. I'm not satisfied with this patch.

I'm not satisfied with this patch. Well, enough of that rant, I found a way to use 3 accounts with this latest patch with sound. I turn Hardware Acceleration to "none" and Sample Rate Conversion Quality to the lowest setting. Not sure if the latter makes a difference but you can experiment. I get a small buzz or sound blip every minute or two, but the game seems stable and I can hear. With Acceleration at the next to lowest setting, I get the blips every few seconds, but it still seems stable. Hope that helps someone.
