I have been experiencing frequent mini lock ups. The game runs fine at around 60fps most of the time with everything turned on to he max. But every 15 seconds or so Eve locks up for 1 second seriously interrupting game play. Not sure what is causing it, but as you can imagine trying to fight with your game freezing on you every 15 seconds isnÆt much fun. My system specs are as follows:
P4 2.6ghz Northwood
Abit AI7
1gb ram
Geforce 5950fx
Creative X-Fi
Leadtek TV-Tuner card
I really hope someone knows whatÆs up or some potential fixes as this is really ruining my enjoyment of this game.

Same here. Annoying 1sec freezes.
I have found out the following.
When I load eve it uses around 160mb ram. When the game starts to freeze its running over 650mb ram.
I have
2.8GHZ HT P4
2048MB RAM
Win XP Pro
ATi 9800XT 256MB
It appears that its got a memory leak.

search Google for a program called:
"freemem" or "Free Mem"
install this and it will stop Eve or any other program swiping too much of your system memory.
Did this on mine and no probs afterwards 
If that doesn't work, then it may be a bottleneck issue with the graphics card or another device taking up too much of the Motherboards' bandwidth (northbridge controller i think) - try lowering the settings of your devices to see if this helps.

i had something similar, and it occured especially when client has runn for some hours.
I red the advice in some chanel to open the "monitor" (ctrl-alt-shift-m) and on the settings tab uncheck the 2 options.
I have no idea what this does or if it will help you. It did seem to have lessend my freezes.
If maybe someone can explain what this setting does, i would apreciate it.

I've been having the same problem. Everything is fine when I start up. After about an hour of game play, I start to get 1/2 second to 1 second freeze ups. They seem to be spaced about 30 seconds apart. These continue to get worse the longer I stay logged in.
I have found though that if I log out and then log right back in again, that this resets things and everything is fine again. Well, at least for an hour or so before the freeze up start again.
I wish I could identify the root cause of this and correct it. I'd prefer to not have to shut the client down and log back in every hour.

I'm having the same issue.
When I first had the problem I noticed a memory leak... The game would shoot up to nearly a gig of used ram. One day the leak vanished, but I still got the hiccups after a couple of hours of play. The other day I nuked my cache folder, I still stutter, and the leak came back.
Go figure :)

i have taken the settings down to the bare core, and i have also taken them all the way up, and every thing in between.

installing a 3rd party memory application is unacceptable.
the game ran fine before the server hardware upgrade. perfectly in fact.

I am having the same problem as well. Game freezes periodically but does not crash or disconnect. Starts immediately after log in. Especially noticeable after jumping--often when control returns to me, its been long enough for the emergency warp to initiate. There is no memory leak that I can tell--the game just started doing this after one of the patches. I tried it in different systems and during off-hours--same result. Needless to say this makes PvP impossible.

i completely uninstalled the client
i deleted everything from the ~program files\ccp* folder
i downloaded and installed a fresh 3900 client and rebooted
fully reinstalled with no trace ov the game before
i disabled chat logging and picked a middle ov the road video config
i am still having the problem.
see my last post if you care about hardware config.
has anyone pettitioned/heard anything from ccp?
im wondering if this is a 'known' bug or if i should just pettition it.
i am willing to help the cause if someone has any leads.

Well I unchecked the 2 settings but I still will get the lockups. It takes a while of play time, so it would seam the memory leak continues.

I had this on one of my accounts, tried everything, de fra on Hd, clearing all ecept cache etc but still the same.
Got rid of it by re installing COMPLETY eve for the account in question, un-installing and reinstalling, including the cache as well but this worked, just had to do my folders again :(

I think I am having the same problem. The game will freeze for a second and then speed up. This happens more and more until the whole game slows down entirely and then locks up permanently. I tried reinstalling the client and using FreeRAM XP, neither helped, and I think FreeRAM XP actually made it worse - however I am not too computer literate so that may have been my fault. I did the cache thing and that did not help either. The only thing that works is rebooting my computer every 2-3 hours, which gets old quickly. I am using:
AMD 64 3500
1 GB Ram
Radeon X800 PRO256mb
Are there any other options to try? I have seen a couple people suggest changing values in some files but I am hesitant because of my limited computer knowledge.

Hi everyone - I'm getting the same problem, eve locks up entire PC, even if I just have eve in the background. I've tried fresh install of eve, updated video and audio drivers, still no luck. It certainly seems to be an issue with eve itself, there are too many people with the same problem.
If everyone with this problem could submit a petition to ccp then they might pay some attention and fix this bug.

I had the same problem, but cured it:
Go into you EvE folder.
then into cache and open prefs.ini with notepad.
Change.... buffersize=80
to
buffersize=256 or 512 (depending on your ram amount)
Then save the edited version.
This also helps cure lag.
Hope this helps guys..Sure helps me in battles.
Oh and Turn off you in game sound by pressing Esc and selecting the option, and when fighting turn off all effects first - Ctrl + alt + shift + E.

I have 1 gig of ram and this actually caused hardcore paging even though I had enough RAM - it totally counterbalanced the point of increasing the buffer since EVE ran worse.
On my Athlon 1700 with 384mb ram though I set the buffersize to 20 and it runs smooth as hell now... :D

I tried this :( Didn't change anything, I'm still getting the frequent quick freezes. Should I try lowering the buffersize?

The MS hotfix here resolved most of my periodic hesitation issues on my dual core system. It seems to still occur after I have played for a number of hours, but I usually have to stop before then.

has anyone had any success with fixing this? I've tried updating all drivers, re-installed eve and cleared out the cache. I've even tried disabling the sound. It looks like this is a bug with the eve software. Surely someone must have some news on a fix? It's been like this since the last patch and for me it makes the game unplayable and NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE. I wonder if CCP will refund my sub?

Starting to get seriously p*ssed off with this as I've just lost a ferox due to eve locking up.

sounds like your Hard Disk is lacking space, infected with a virus And/Or is dying.
i would suspect overall heat aswell, to CPU or to GFX card.
clean your box. and move your comp to a ventillated area. that usually fixed my 2.4ghz Celeron whenever it got choppy.
if your certain that the above is no the problem, then check your hard disks for free space, or system viruses. benchmark it and check preformance, and listen to the sounds it makes, see if you can spot "clucks" every now and then.
also, check your task manager for pesky "adware"
if all else fails, buy a new computer 
edit: EVE works fine on my single-core cpu (AMD 3700+). and ive seen it run smoothly on my friend's Dual-core cpu (AMD 3800+).

I've already had this problem at it went away when I did a complete install, all has been well over the last two weeks ors so butthis weekend it started again, not wanting to do a complete re install as I lose all the folders for the BMs, I tried as suggested higher up to change the affinity to only one rather than two, as I am running a Atlon 4800+, for the moment this works, but I do not believe that it is that complete answer as I run two accounts on the same machine and both times only one (and the same one) gives me a problem,
Anyway for those running a dual processor, try running on one affinty

This is a known memory leak bug in the game, theres a good chance everyone gets it, if u check ur memory usuage when it happens ull see exefile.exe (eve) is using a stupid amount of your system ram (750mb+250mb across 2 accounts last time i looked)
Only way to fix atm is to relog :-/

Windows Defender from Microsoft was causing my problem. It seems it runs system scans whenever it wants to - not just at the times its programed for. Trys to grab 100% of the CPU at the same time Eve does and they battle it out, causing 1-5 second lag bursts. Try shutting down Windows Defender when playing.

I have the same problem too with these Mini-Freezes, even when there is nothing around me except the system objects. Every 5 seconds or so EVE just stops for half a second. Closing my overview makes the stuttering go away. This offcourse, is not a viable option.

Same problem here.
The game starts to freeze periodically for about 1/2 to 1 sec after approx. one hour of gameplay.
It seems to be a mem leak in the client. I don't have such problems in any other software and after restarting the client everything is fine again for about one hour. Then it starts freezing again.

those of you with the AMD processer goto the AMD site and get the driver for the CPU from them.
WWW.AMD.com
If you have the duel core AMD make sur you get the optomizer from AMD.

This can be one of three things (or all of them if you're one unlocky sod).
A) Harddrive thrashing. This causes textures to load slowly, or information of any kind into the client, causing it to 'jitter' about. Tweaking the buffer setting might reap some performance benifits here (and I mean making it smaller, not larger).
B) CPU usage. If something else is taking up CPU cycles, then chances are the EVE client may be struggling, since it is a very CPU intence game.
C) Dual core systems. There's a long standing bug with any dual core system. You will need to grab either the MS hotfix, or the AMD driver from the AMD website.
