john 172 Wrath of Angels 0	Posted - 2013.03.03 10:15:00 - [1] - Quote In mission I am generally OK with most missions, but missions that include large gas pockets or whatever those massive clouds are just drive my FPS to the ground. So what i want to know is what graphics option on the menu controls those effects i have searched online maybe not very well but i can't find anything about it. If anyone can help it would be very appreciated.

FFS, EVE is probably one of the lightest games out there at the moment and people still find time to actually *** about their own crappy, 20 year old calculator not being able to run the game properly in some cases. CCP should just post up the MINIMUM requirements and tell you to ** OFF when you complain about the game and don't match up to those requirements.
Josef Djugashvilis Acme Mining Corporation 1038	Posted - 2013.03.03 10:45:00 - [3] - Quote CCP are aware of this issue, and in another thread (no, I can't be bothered to look for it) have said that it is being looked at. To the OP, I believe zooming out helps a lot. This is not a signature.
Toto Zinny Imperial Shipment Amarr Empire 8	Posted - 2013.03.03 11:02:00 - [4] - Quote I am sure that they are aware of this problem, because it's a big problem. Nice graphics mean for noting if you are viewing them at 5fps. I don't think they are quite sure how to fix ,or remove these terrible cloud things, but I look forward to the day when they finally figure it out.

It is possible not to have enough to buy a 1000$+ computer and there should be an option to play without those fancy graphics. About the clouds - yeah zooming out helps and i think I read similar things to previous poster, about this issue being looked at...
Charlepetit LaJoie Trust Me Ltd 295	Posted - 2013.03.03 11:04:00 - [6] - Quote Settings Display & Graphics Display Present Interval (set it to "Interval one") That change might be enough to fix your fps problem. If not, you can try the following: Settings Display & Graphics Graphic Content Settings HDR Enabled (try unchecking that). Post Processing (if unchecking HDR is not enough, try setting Post Processing to "Low" or even "None").

Post Processing (if unchecking HDR is not enough, try setting Post Processing to "Low" or even "None"). Have you even experienced this problem? I'd have to answer NO for you on both counts. Even with HDR set off and everything else on low the particle count in gas clouds using only one client will cause your GPU utilization to go apesht. Frankly, gas clouds annoy me. They're overly bright washing out your module status, difficult to avoid on screen and purely due to their annoyance factor (not gpu utilization) require me to zoom all the way out so I don't blind myself looking at them and so that I can see my module. Because I'm zoomed all the way out, why would I want them on grid anyway? HTFU!...for the children!

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that the interval setting would turn off the cloud effects. However, setting that to "Interval one" will tend to improve fps in general.
Roime Shiva Furnace 2126	Posted - 2013.03.03 11:40:00 - [10] - Quote No, that's not what everyone else is thinking. The clouds cause a massive, unnecessary strain on the gfx card. It's so hard, that the fans on my card start spinning and I find that highly annoying. -á- All I really wanted was to build a castle among the stars -

And my "TI calculator" is in fact a water cooled quad core 4+GHz beast with TWO screaming 500 series nvidia cards and multiple gigabytes of video RAM. While my system doesn't come anywhere near melting or dropping frames, it does kick the fans up into high gear in those clouds and of course, Captain's quarters! Because displaying a couch and some screens uses up far more resources than say, Battlefield 3.

Sorry, I didn't mean to suggest that the interval setting would turn off the cloud effects. However, setting that to "Interval one" will tend to improve fps in general. Interval one is a limiter on the number of FPS that a GPU will render. Example, a lite graphical environment your GPU could render 200fps causing GPU utilization to hit 100% for no good reason. Where in a heavily populated graphical environment that same GPU will only render 25FPS. Setting Interval one keeps the GPU from rendering 200FPS in the lite graphical environment lowering overall GPU utilization. The issue with gas clouds has nothing to do with the interval. The particle count in them is so high as to cause GPU utilization through the roof while FPS crashes. The GPU is being overtaxed for no good reason. HTFU!...for the children!

If the OP is having trouble playing EVE with everything set in minimum then I guess it's on him to get a ***** life and buy a new computer! :) (so sorry for saying what everyone else is thinking!) The op didn't say he was playing on minimum setting. I play with the game maxed out. I have no issue with fps with one exception, the massive gas clouds. And apparently CCP is aware of the performance hit those clouds cause. I don't use a 5 year old pc, it's oldest component is like 2.
4runner Eternal Profiteers Eternal Syndicate 25	Posted - 2013.03.03 13:57:00 - [14] - Quote Same here, run game on max settings with two AMD 6970, very FPS stable in every situation, until I see those gas clouds and my frames drop badly. This has nothing to do with hardware, it's just a bug with the gas cloud rendering and I hope CCP will fix it soon
Frozen Eddie Johnson Aliastra Gallente Federation 45	Posted - 2013.03.03 21:10:00 - [15] - Quote I'd like to see where they say they're aware of it. Last I heard, they thought they fixed it by changing the clouds in the first Retribution release, which actually caused it to get 10x worse for a lot of people. I don't have an old computer, and my GPU utilization jumps to 99% indefinitely when these "new" clouds are on screen. 100+ ships all shooting each other with no clouds? GPU utilization never goes above 40%. This happens whether I have settings on max, or minimum. Upon posting this and having quite a few others agree, CCP conveniently stopped responding to the thread. I followed it for a month or so before I stopped bothering, because it seems to clearly be another "CCP doesn't give a ****" issue (like most issues). If anyone could point me to recent posts stating otherwise(as in this year), I'd appreciate it.
Bienator II madmen of the skies 1565	Posted - 2013.03.03 21:12:00 - [16] - Quote ccp probably made a deal with graphics card manufactures to keep those clouds as is. a eve-style bounty system (done)-á dust boarding parties You fail you fail you fail you fail to jump because you are cloaked

All he said his FPS is lagging when there's particle effects. Mine does too. Don't be such a jerk about your rig. Not everyone has a lot of capital to invest in a gaming rig. I was lucky to be able to upgrade to my ftx 550 ti last year. OP, I have a similar issue but it doesn't slow down too much. Honestly AA is the first thing I cut back, but I just zoom out usually to avoid it.

About the clouds - yeah zooming out helps and i think I read similar things to previous poster, about this issue being looked at... I find that incredibly amusing; both the post and response here.. sigh It's not 2003 anymore. You can't expect a game to stagnate in quality while the world moves on without it. My PC is perfectly capable of handling EVE, and if I were to build an equivalent with newer technology it would actually cost me less than this one did. I'd just rough estimate about $800 USD to build a PC more than capable of handling EVE and many other games. Given it costs about $5 for a loaf of bread these days, I think that isn't really that much money. Maybe not easily spent, but I'm sure you can manage it over ~10 years. zubzubzubzubzubzubzubzub
Lors Dornick Kallisti Industries Solar Assault Fleet 436	Posted - 2013.03.04 04:16:00 - [22] - Quote The issue at hand isn't that EvE is to hard on GPU's in general. It's the specific case of those particle/cloud things in some sites where the GPU load suddenly rockets. Which is a bit annoying, and made worse by the fact that they are also so bright/shiny that it becomes very hard to see modules, locked targets and other stuff. I know that CCP has been tweaking them to make them less annoying, but it seems that I'm not alone in wanting an option to tweak them down another notch. CCP Eterne: Silly player, ALL devs are evil.
Inxentas Ultramar Ultramar Independent Contracting Home Front Coalition 374	Posted - 2013.03.04 10:39:00 - [23] - Quote I have a modern PC, nothing fancy or anything, but it runs EVE fine. EXCEPT those clouds. Those clouds are the ONLY thing my PC and also my EYES have issue with. THE ONLY THING. Aside from whether or not other players expect me to spend money to get a top-of-the-line video card, I can't read WHITE TEXT ON A WHITE BACKGROUND. All the more incentive to just zoom out, rendering them a useless waste of resources anyway.
Complex Potential Blackstar Privateer Consortium Enigma Project 229	Posted - 2013.03.04 13:07:00 - [24] - Quote Yep same here. Although it's not enough to noticeably effect my frame rate, I too hear my fans kick into overdrive when zoomed inside a cloud. It was a bit scary the first time it happened because I own no other game (including Far Cry 3) that causes my graphics card to protest that much. Zoomed out and it calmed down again. Very odd.

Well I'm actually having the opposite problem and seems I'm not alone. I change some of my hardware parts almost every 2 years so the rig keeps good performances and it's cheaper than buy everything at one time. Last change was about OS, Vista wasn't good enough for me so I jumped in to a full W8-64 Pro version for less than $100. Now because this game caters more to 90's xp users I can't play it properly now for several months, can't join fleets or gangs because at any moment client freeze and ends with a stupid loss, even a stupid high sec site with frig rats can finish with a BC loss... I can play other stupid games like BlacklightRet requiring a lot more of hardware than Eve without lag or freeze, graphics on top, sound, Directx11, tessellation etc on top, but I can't play Eve with minimum graphic settings (GTX460-2GDDR5) without gaming issues and this really really sucks ass. 3months now this is not fix, this will not end well. removed inappropriate ASCII art signature - CCP Eterne
Christopher AET Segmentum Solar Nulli Legio 344	Posted - 2013.03.05 15:29:00 - [30] - Quote Eve is fairly processor heavy. While I cannot speak for missions my performance is much better since updating my cpu . AMD .FX8350 I drain ducks of their moisture for sustenance.
