Professor Alphane Alphane Research Co-operative 0	Posted - 2011.12.08 14:54:00 - [211] - Quote Nice one Paradox, I'm looking forward to getting my little fleet flying once again Shame this has kind of marred the release of the update, after playing for a few hours ( single client ) last night got to say some of the QOL changes are quite slick. Cheers to everyone at CCP.

Been hammering away at it all today, and with our latest changes I have been unable to reproduce the problem. I have been destructively testing it, and I mean really, really trying to break EVE on Win XP. But so far, the UI stands and never breaks. Hopefully the fix will make its way to Singularity soon. Will update you guys when it does. Big thanks to everyone who reported this and gave detailed descriptions in this thread. With your help we were able to develop some good hunches that were able to track down some problematic areas in the code. thanks for update after everyone is happy again can you provide some information into what was the cause?

Sure, but we don't actually have a definite answer. There wasn't a line of code that we saw and instantly thought 'this is the culprit'. However, what did happen is eventually we started seeing some patterns in the screenshots that players were submitting as part of their bug reports. The patterns were that some sprites/textures were being used in various places of the UI. For instance, in the Character Sheet, we saw the normal character portrait, and then sections of that portrait were appearing in various other places in the game, such as the EVE Mail window. So we refactored and removed some convoluted code, we also simplified the methods which draw the shaders/textures on the UI. After this refactor, the code that was written is much more optimized than before, and should slightly help performance with the UI. Suffice to say, this defect caused us to rewrite some old code to make it more sturdy. I am hopeful that it should have fixed the problem. Still testing it, and I have yet to see anything break.

Dill Kabachi Karibas company 0	Posted - 2011.12.08 17:17:00 - [216] - Quote Suffering from the same issue... WinXP SP2 GTX 260 Lastest NVidia Drivers.... Read the whole thread. I'm living in WH so it has nothing to do with docking station. It's apparently either Alt-Tabing or just TABing in the game. Might be helpful - some tips I use to restore windows back: 1. Zoom in and back may restore windows 2. Press TAB few times = windows will appear in a minimized mode. You can expand some you need by double clicking on those. However if you try to expand all the windows they will hide back. Chat and Overview are the ones to crash. Waiting for a fix. Thanks for your efforts CPP Paradox! Cheers
Postman M. Corp Engineering Bloodbound. 0	Posted - 2011.12.08 17:45:00 - [217] - Quote Thanks a lot for the updates Paradox. Sure it sucks that we are suffering from this annoying and very irritating bug, but on the bright side it caused a rewrite of the UI which in turn might give a slight improvement for everybody So not each bug is actually bad it seems
Vyktor Abyss The Abyss Corporation 47	Posted - 2011.12.08 19:32:00 - [218] - Quote Nice one, looking forward to this hitting TQ. Great that you kept us updated with progress. Paradox / Alaska / Dev Pandya is my favourite drum and bass producers - can't wait to alt-tab and listen to Paradox on youtube, while testing out Paradox's fix in game! Haha I'm so funny....not.

Jake Centauri School of Applied Knowledge Caldari State 20	Posted - 2011.12.08 22:48:00 - [221] - Quote The only way I can reliably avoid this issue is NEVER to minimize or alt-tab out of Eve. I other words, I start Eve and must run the game ONLY until I am done playing. I cannot use my alts. I cannot use my computer at all, other than to run Eve. If I need to start a different voice program, I must exit Eve, start the voice program and restart Eve. This is very frustrating. XP SP3
Blinjay Forthright. Dead On Arrival Alliance 0	Posted - 2011.12.09 05:20:00 - [222] - Quote Windows XP SP 3. ATI Radeon HD6770. Seems to be related to alt-tabbing. Also, seems to be related to opening new windows. For example, I click to see my character sheet and the whole GUI disappears. Then, I click to minimize the character sheet and the GUI re-appears. From there on I can keep toggling between various windows and the whole interface disappears or reappears - it seems to be related to how many windows are opened within the client, too. Hope that helps! Thanks, Blinjay
Sassums Wormhole Exploration Crew Transmission Lost 28	Posted - 2011.12.09 05:24:00 - [223] - Quote In regards to this issue, I haven't had the screen UI disappearing nearly as often with the fixed window fit. I have however, had a lot of issues with the screen flickering something furious when I have two clients running. I am not sure how this relates to the UI disappearing, but it is almost just as bad as the entire ui disappearing when you are fighting stuff. It flickers so badly that it goes white or it makes in unplayable.
Kopfy 2	Posted - 2011.12.09 09:40:00 - [224] - Quote Would this fix also fix the similar problem i get from using the character creator? It's the same thing textures changing place and interfering. When exiting the CC it follows. My fix for it has been to not use the CC, change graphics settings and back again or restart the EVE client. http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee416/Skully_Dead/20110819105438.jpg http://i1226.photobucket.com/albums/ee416/Skully_Dead/20110819105333.jpg bug repord id: 117024 After the latest patch i've starting to have the problem mentioned in this thread as well. Today for the first time.

CCP Paradox 26	Posted - 2011.12.09 10:35:00 - [225] - Quote Are you using WinXP Kopfy? The CC/second screenshot looks like our issue. The first one is very difficult to be able to tell if it is the problem or a mixture of problems. The fix should be on Singularity later today. (In about an hour from now) I would advise people to give it a go, testing on singularity is easy if you have the HDD space for another EVE installation. You can use your existing EVE install so you have minimal download. http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Singularity CCP Paradox \| EVE Quality Assurance \| Team BFF @CCP_Paradox

Kopfy 2	Posted - 2011.12.09 14:10:00 - [228] - Quote On sisi right now and have played around with CC and alt+tab a little. So far so good, everything working as is should for me

CCP Paradox 26	Posted - 2011.12.09 14:11:00 - [229] - Quote Wooo. I really hope it holds. I still can't reproduce internally on our XP machines. CCP Paradox \| EVE Quality Assurance \| Team BFF @CCP_Paradox

Nyio Federal Navy Academy Gallente Federation 307	Posted - 2011.12.09 15:45:00 - [230] - Quote Over an hour on Sisi and all windows stayed visible, even with 2 clients, looks promising. However, I filed 2 new graphic related bug reports while on Sisi. Fix one thing and something else breaks eh? CCP In-Game Event 2011.11.23 GÇó Nyio GÇó Grenade? GÇó Forums

I still can't reproduce internally on our XP machines. Me too! Where you able to reproduce the issues I was describing? When I switched to Fixed Window, it for the most part eliminated the issues with the UI disappearing, but it caused the client to flicker something furious. It was on and off flickering, and when it was on, would get to the point where it would flicker so badly the screen would go white. Also when you run multiple instances, it seems something is broken and it forces you to automatically zoom in on every object you click on. This is also random and happens when two or more clients are working. But one client will work fine, where as the other one, say I click on an SMA, the game will zoom in on that object, rather than just selecting it and me having to hit "look at".
Midori Tsu Evolution The Initiative. 22	Posted - 2011.12.09 20:13:00 - [232] - Quote How long will it take for this to reach TQ? It's kind of game breaking.
Alex Good Debitum Naturae RED.Legion 0	Posted - 2011.12.09 20:22:00 - [233] - Quote Yep. Can't play without that fix. CCPs right hand doesn't know what what the left one is doing. Th gave me - It was fixed answer when it's clearly wasn't. Petitioned for refund for the time I can't play.
masty Gunpoint Diplomacy 0	Posted - 2011.12.09 21:52:00 - [234] - Quote Just noticed this problem the last 2-3 days. First time the station services just vanished for two evenings but randomly came back. Has reoccurred now. I did not change any settings for it to reappear the first time and this time i have tried resizing the window, changing from fixed window, full screen to fixed window and back again and cleared cache but no result. I dual box and this only occurs on my main client. Both clients are ran in fixed window mode and only occurred since the very last update. System is: Windows 7 GTX 570 1.2G 4gb ram
Janus Nightmare Federal Defense Union Gallente Federation 1	Posted - 2011.12.10 00:48:00 - [235] - Quote Haven't tried on SiSi yet but can tell you I'm still having the same issue on TQ. I've noticed that I can sometimes bring the windows back by clicking where my Overview is supposed to be, or... this is the weird part, if something in the Overview changes, such as my drones kill a rat, the windows will return until something else happens or if I click on the selected item window. Have a bug report filed with all of my specs and the appropriate files, just wanted to share tonights observation.

Let me know if you decide to test it out :) Just been testing this on sisi with a friend unfortunately all my UI windows disappeared and I was left this time with a static picture of my ship in space. The client was unresponsive and was sitting at 97% CPU usage which forced me to reboot as was unable to do much with task manager in order to terminate the client. Looking at all the other posts though it seems that others are having more luck than myself so maybe I am just the odd one out.
Avallanch Black Souls Industries 0	Posted - 2011.12.10 13:51:00 - [237] - Quote Well, after approx. 30 minutes of testing on SISI the UI is still there. Although, while there is hope that this bug has been fixed, different one appeared, and is equally annoying. Textures on many ships are not loading (even after re-starting the client) in hangar, in space, even on "Ships" tab. Changing graphic settings doesn't help. While in space, the engine fire is visible, so are turrets. Pics: http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/263/20111210133405.jpg/ http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/171/20111210133321.jpg/

Sara Niko Metanoia. KRYSIS. 0	Posted - 2011.12.11 09:33:00 - [239] - Quote Same problem as everyone else, Window's XP SP3 ofcourse. But I've switched to windowed mode and hit "maximize", The blue bar at the top is only a minor annoyance compared to before when the UI would completely disappear before I even had the chance to alt-tab =P It may not be desirable but everyone here may find that work around less frustrating(AND PLAYABLE =D) then continuing with the current situation of "log out roulette"(Tell you what.. Its nerve racking to have the UI go -poof- while nav'ing through 0.0). Hope it helps.
