Guys, do we really have to see the introduction movie for every new patch from now on? The movie makes my computer almost grind to a halt (like 1 FPS) and it's a pain trying to desperately click all keys I find to abort it.
Don't know why this happens, could be something with the video drivers. The game runs perfectly smooth, just not the intro.

esc key exits the introduction movie quite swiftly
Only time I've seen FPS drops as you appear to be experiencing are on dual monitor based setups where the intial load of the screen crosses to the opposite side in windowed mode - until the window is moved to it doesn't cross screens some system would experience a slowdown in performance.
Without more information I can't be more helpful.

Thanks for your reply. I do have a dual monitor setup, but the normal EVE play window does not exceed the main monitor display. Maybe the movie is ever so sligthly larger? The movie window looks like it fits perfectly, but I gues it could overlap just a few pixels.
However, I don't see the point in triggering the movie for every new patch...?

Again, ESC key skips it.

Yes, after about 2 minutes on my computer.

I am trying to get a 2 monitor setup working... I have a 2nd monitor up and running perfectly in windows. But how do I get the Eve client to take advantage of it?

Unfortunately you cannot. It would be good to see some dual monitor support built into eve though. I'd like to be able to have the map up on one screen and the main view up on my primary display!

Hmm i dont have the second monitor, but i remember that there was a dual monitor setup config in the beginning of eve.
Could be that it was in beta times... or testserver short after release.
Maybe theres a Possebility to modificate the Prefs.ini to unreveal a hidden menu.
But i doubt that it would still work or still be in there after more then 2 Years of Dev modding ;)
I suggest a mutch deeper Archieves serach on this website...
should be more then 2 years ago.
Anyway i think a Dual monitor support would be really really cool.
Would be an additional great Feature wich would seperates eve from the rest of the !WoW games.
just my 2 cents.
Ahh, and why eve dont have Customer polls on the website?
Anyone can answer this?

If you are wanting to use dual monitors when playing eve then it works fine in Clone Mode if you have EvE on one monitor and say IE/IRC/Winamp on another. However 1 client on each monitor doesnt work, it will lag badly, burnout your gfx card and cpu and you will get mouse stutter.
HOWEVER after a bit of playing around and such i have managed to get EvE working on 2 monitors. There are a few annoyances though but you can clean that up easy enough
This should work for most gfx cards as long as you have the right options and have a 2 monitor support on your card
1/ Goto your advanced GFX Options
2/ Goto your monitor options
3/ Activate the 2nd monitor and choose to :
a/ Span Desktop Horizontally across both monitors (this is the ball ache as you will now have everything across the 2!)
or b/ Extend Desktop onto 2nd monitor
4/ Make sure both monitors have the same Res or things will get hairy! (If this is not possible then make sure you have 2 seperate folders for each eve client and configure each for each monitor resolution, ie Acc #1 = 1280x1024 Acc #2 = 1024x768)
5/ Clean your desktop up by choosing to minimize all your windows and just restructure them on whichever monitor you want as minimized windows to use them. Make sure you DONT OVERLAP THE WINDOWS!!! Best way to do this is to have the eve window slightly offset ie left monitor to the left, right to the right
This is working for me
I hope this post benefits all

Hi all,
The introduction movie might be annoying when repeated but I think it's a good movie that does it's job. Wouldn't it be nice to have it in .avi format or similar to spread on the net? I think it could attract more players to the game. |

nVidia cards work with two monitors on EVE, ATI doesn't.
That is, you can have one EVE on each monitor (or a single EVE spanning) on an nVidia, but not on ATI. ATI only hardware accelerates 1 screen (giving it full speed). nVidia hardware accelerates both, but each only at half speed.
Of course on either you can use EVE on one and a web browser on the other.
