because I've spent more time in the last month tweaking my system and learning what can be tweaked than I have playing eve.
because I've methodically tried everything I have come across that has been suggested, both here and elsewhere to boost game/system function.
because everything I do eventually has no lasting effect, and I continue to CTD and/or lag.
because if someone like me with above average computer skills, years of online gaming experience (and how to get games to play dispite the creators best efforts to make them unstable via "patches") can not get the game to be playable, what can be said about the average joe?
because I love this game and have faith in CCP, or else I would have packed up and moved on/back to another game by now if I didnt care...... and this last reason is the real bummer, because as it seems in the moment, CCP is dropping the ball. I hope I am wrong on this one, but you can be sure this thread isnt going away until things get fixed, or at least acknowledged in a bigger way.

I'm a new player and suffered from CTD and occasional lag but as the announcement when logging back on explained that only a certain number of trial accounts were allowed online at the same time, I thought that upgrading to paid as I have done would have got rid of the CTD which I seriously thought was a limiting mechanism for trials.
I was wrong.
It continues now that I've paid just the same. There can be several hours of play with no problem followed by flurries of CTD for no apparent reason. Annoying.
I really feel for every player that is affected by this and would like the issue sorted out alongside many of you. So that is why I'm signing this.
/sign
p.s. I've done the evelog trick - no effect, I've done the windowed mode trick - no effect except really awful framerate, I've tried the regedit hack and created a new dword as decribed - no effect.
I've wiped my drive (this pc is used purely for gaming and is clean anyway) and reinstalled XP, updated all service packs and updates, installed all the latest drivers and reinstalled EVE. Still no change, still CTD as described.
I've tried EVE on TWO other PC's that I have, same effect. This is not a client side issue, it is a problem with the game code, the server or their network infrastructure.

well, the game runs fine (i.e. loads and very few CTDs) on both of my computers, but the lag is a real pain. i started in august though, so i can't tell if this is the norm or not.
i do get more lag issues now than when i started though.

CCP should understand that we really need a performance boost instead of a big expansion that probably will make performance worse!

After 4h of looking for enemies, when we found some, node crashes 2 times at begining of the battle. Fun fun fun....
Ive joined this game year ago but i feel that lag is worser with time.

Shard the game.
Come on - surely it's time? I know we love the kudos that comes from having the largest number of concurrent users online of any MMOG, but seriously, you've got to balance the needs of the existing player base against the desire to see that number keep rising.
I've been an on-and-off player throughout my subscription time. I'm also a serial character deleter (not for nefarious purposes, I should stress, but just because the grass always seems greener somewhere else). So I've watched the game over the last couple of years, and much as I love it, and can't abide whiners, I can't honestly deny that it's creaking quite badly now.
I don't know whether the login queue I encountered tonight is a permanent thing, either - but either way, isn't it a symptom?
I know the game world needs a lot of players in it to make the economy work - but since the economy worked quite happily with around 15,000 people, and even fewer, isn't it fair to say that you could make two satisfactory clusters out of 30,000?
EVE broke all the records for concurrent users. Cool. Credit where it's due. Now please, let's stop chasing impressive numbers that don't really mean that much, and let's start being realistic. |

Update to my previous post:
Renamed cache to cache1 and as a result reset the GUI. Result: Same CTD Found a forum post that mentioned port forwarding the following: 27900 tcp 27901 udp Did that with same result as previously, CTD as before although today it wasn't quite so bad. Maybe I need to check over a longer period of time for result accuracy, the CTD's still occurred but today it was down by 50% giving hope that at least some of it is user config settings. It has to be emphasised though that CTD still occurs though and on a clean system.
Recently 3 friends from the I.T. dept I work in joined the game, one has explicitly mentioned the CTD and rather than ask leading questions I'll wait for the other two to mention if they have any issues.

I've played this game from early 2004, and as sad as it is to say, this is the worst server situation i've seen in that time.
Now i'm sure that CCP are trying to sort this out, but without any type of communication from them, it's hard to tell.

I have to sign this too. I'm laggin on markets, on gates and on NPC missions... annoying.
My honest opinion is that shrading will not be a solution. I just don't believe that it will work with EVE...

I agree. Today, 10/15/06 I'm trying to move supplies between systems. Lagging at EVERY system and taking forever for commands to be carried out.
So here I am at the gate, fair game for any pirate of enemy corp. Waiting to jump for over 2 minutes.
The Game has been getting worse over the past couple of weeks.
Considering I have "almost" never had a problem with EVE (even when everyone else was having problems), I doubt it's my system.
Just to make sure, I fired up my Core 2 Duo, Gforce 7900 GTX, 2 meg ram, laptop, downloaded the client, set up EVE, and guess what???
SAME HORRIBLE LAG! CCP, DO SOMETHING!!
I set a long training skill and I'll be back in several days. If I don't find something else to play!

Hey Ho :( Another night spoilt by lag, the odd thing is I'm in the Kor-Azor region, my wife with an identical machine and on the same network is in Domain and she's not suffering with it, go figure.

I am very new to Eve, and I have to say I am already thinking of cancelling my account due to the lag. Today (oct 15) it's taking up to 2 or 3 minutes after every jump before my ship or commands respond. Trying to learn new skills takes a minute or two to update each time. Even the interface itself (opening market or fitting) takes a long time. Pretty disheartening to a new player trying to get into the game.

The lag is horrible today. I was on last night (pst) with no problems, today I just tried to do a mission and good thing I have drones because I was never able to fire a shot. The lag is so long I'd get a msg the target was already dead by the time the server had registerd my kb input.
Trying to loot a can - opened the can, and have had time to boot up this 2nd pc, log into Eve forums and read thru and reply to thread - and I'm still waiting to see the contents of the can. Ooo got it.
Trying to move to a different can. Clicked on the approach button and pulled out the watch this time - 27 seconds before my ship responded to the command.
Please fix the lag, the game is unplayable in it's current state.
btw - definitely not my connection or I'd be having a slow response getting to the forums too.

I truly regret having to throw my name in the barrel here, but I am in the forums right now, and not the game, because it is virtually impossible to play. Long waits with traffic control keeping me prisoner in systems, minutes pass while waiting for a simple container to open. This is recent, started happening 4 to 6 weeks ago, and has gradually been getting worse. My configuration has not changed, except for patches, since March. My hardware is still the same, and no other software running while running EVE. This afternoon was the worst.
To CCP I say, we love this game! And most everyone I talk to about this problem is willing to give you a lot of leeway in terms of fixing it. Current play level is not really acceptable. I will continue to subscribe because I believe in you and I trust you to fix the problem. But actually playing it is rapidly becoming unendurable.
Now activate your armor, get in there and Tank that code!

I canÆt even mine in a system with 20 people without being disconnected. Pingplotter shows an average of 30% packet loss at Los Angeles and London routing stations, then 100% packet loss AFTER reaching EVE servers. So to clear it up once and for all, ITS NOT A CLIENT SIDE OR ISP PROBLEM. ITÆS A CCP PROBLEM.
There are blogs and articles that hail EVEÆs top of the line service as one of the reasons to play. But 16 pages of posts and not a single reply is pretty much an official way for CCP to tell their player base that they don't give a ****.

Funnily enough, I have a second account and I haven't had any CTD issues on that at all. Yet. |

I gave up trying to play last night (Sunday). I thought it may of been just because the system was busy but it looks to be far more widespread than that.

The is Stupid why should we pay for a game that is so screwed up in so many ways it just ruins the whole experience. it takes me on average 20 mins to look in my hangers and i only have 300 items or so in there, i have to reload it again and again before it opens i no longer play on the weekends at all because it is more like a turn based game than a realtime one. someone should set up a website and tell the game playing public that eve is not the smooth multiplayer game that ccp want us all to believe. its a game that is grinding to a halt with every day. Stand up for your rights even cancel your accounts as a form of protest, you can still train while it is canceled we have to do somthing to force ccp to pull there finger out and sort out a once (2 patches ago) amazing and wonderfull game. I know its not my fault, im on over 10 meg broadband and live within 100 miles of the servers. and its crap. |

Love the game to bits and all.. but every time I go to Jita It takes bout 10 minutes to get in or out.. And damn its funny when my shield booster locks either on or off... As a long time Aramachi resident I can safely say the lag isnt getting worse though.. its always been like that.. and the proximity to Motsu (and saila) might be aiding the lag a little Empire space needs removing.. and replacing by a 0.0.. this would save systems like Jita getting lagged with thousands of noobs like myself...

same, but not in the named systems. I have expeienced the lag in Jel, Dodixie, pator, Alakgur, but strangly, not rens.
The problem MUST be addressed... as it is now you propaly have 10k petitions for ship replacements(because the problem we all face is the same, drones ignoring commands, ships scrambling you but beign unlockable because the error says they are 200-300km away, moduals not activating, and armor disintegrating as a result, etc.)
Please fix the probles. I am saddedned because I have been a pretty regular customer for teh better part of 3 years, and I am seriousy considering NOT paying the next time payment is due.

Update to update.
All 3 report the same problems with variations on timing of the problem but all say they can sometimes play fine for an hour or even several, then get an inexplicable flurry of disconnects every 5 minutes to an hour or in one case 5 minutes, log in, disconnect repeatedly and then just plain gave up trying.
4 different systems. 2 Intel based, 2 AMD based and the common factor is EVE.

My post will prolly matter nothing. But its worse enough that I takes 5 mins to strip a bs from its modules. Or 2min before you actually get 1 gun equipped with ammo or reloaded. with 12 people in local .
Then theres the annoying bugs that the screen suddenly starts shifting out of control wich happened to me today for the first time, (only during warp tho) or when you've undocked half an hour ago and you want to dock since theres a hostile fleet on the prowl and it says I'm still being squeezed out.. please wait 30 seconds.. yeah as if. These cases make me want to fly a battleship as little as possible.. things like that means a quick death for any battleship. Fast ships and you atleast have a chance, if the warp order goes trough quickly enough..
I still want to give my thanx to CCP when I started playing the game was great.. and another big whooping thanx, now I'm just saying WTF to my pc screen the entire day. I'm sure your working on it aswell as your working on the massive lag petitions being filed.. News and updates are always welcome. These patches and upgrades are feeling like a downgrade more problems come with every new patch day.
and now for some sarcasm with love and kisses from leviathan. Can we please downgrade eve to a playable point xD? (For the record, that doesn't mean give us kali)

I have had bad lag for a while, and still endured. I actually thought it was my computer that had a problem. However, my 4 friends stopped playing due to this lag, they didnt quit, just went back to "that" game again... at least, you dont lag there. I havent been there, but as each day goes by, with the same laggy situation i wonder if im playing the right game.

I see after over sixteen pages in this thread, not one reply from CCP. I moved to a system with an avg of 10 players in local, the surrounding systems avg between 2 and 6 players in local, 30 second between mods being click and doing anything, Que's to log-in, and in general all of the same crap I had to deal with 200 people in hageken, 120+ in Kaunokka, 400+ in Jita (ok jita was a bit worse than the first two, but you get the idea) so its not just the system i'm in, i'm now getting CTD's after the patch that did somewhat increase performace for a day or two, ISP traces back to CCP (game server not the web server) A-OK, Sent in 35 Logs each with 10 or more crashes, on 3 diffrent Computers running Windows Vista/XP Pro SP2/Win 2000 One single reply or thankyou or we will look into it notta, even with all the woes of eve, we understand their pushing the limit, we understand alot of the problems, but the one simple easy thing that would make it bareable, they dont do. and that is comunicate with us, keep us in the loop and let us know whats going on. acknowlage us when we say there is a problem, at that they are at least looking into it. I mean it would make a huge diffrence if CCP said, "Due to the major increase of the player base our hardware can not support the shear numbers of player without new or faster hardware added, which is on order and we are mearly waiting for them to arrive"
Would any of us, Been in here? Probly not, well except for those people that are never ever happy, but you get the idea. Instead we get CCP posts about some CCG game that almost nobody is wasting money on, E-ON Mag, which may be neat, but who cares if you cant play the game that the mag is about?!?, and RECORD NUMBERS that the hardware and code cant handle, nor the (OMGWTFBBQ!!11!oneoneone) Patch thats coming out on the 23rd diffrent release date. The Massive Problems Started with coldwar for those that have been around since Castor. and slowly slipped downhill from there, instead of fixes we get promises of that uber patch with the newest and badest and most costly ship that we can build and loose due to unplayablity, and if your PVP'er then you already Loseing a ship in PVP due a EVE Problems is 100% no chance of re-imbursement. even with screenshots/eve log/and 30k plus people screeming THE SERVER CRASHED, you will get a reply, our records show there were no problems that day! (I've seen it multiple times)
