I've had nothing but problems with this "Download on Demand" thing.
First, the migrating tool corrupted all my resource files, and the repair tool deleted them.
After, I killed exefile.exe so many times, because now it takes a sold 2 minutes to even load the game, so I thought it froze up. Mind you, I'm loading EVE off a SSD on a computer with fairly recent hardware (AMD A-10 5750K, AMD Radeon HD 8970, 280gb SSD, 16gb 2133mhz RAM, etc) and it still crawls when loading even the login screen.
So now I'm playing on full download on Demand, and the game is virtually unplayable at this point. I have a permanent "Resource Loading" circle above my clock for the past 2 days, and it doesn't seem to "remember" where I've been. I've jumped from one system, spent the half hour loading things, and then jumped back, and its loading everything again, and heavens forbid I use a jump drive, the client pretty much freezes and I'm left stranded at the endpoint with no controls until things load.
The inability for the cache to rememer things is really prominent in starbases. As I've loaded my POS over and over again. PVP is virtually unplayable, as my first encounter, I didn't see a single shot fired, and didn't know what was going on until my target exploded. THEN the cache caught up and spooled and rendered everything at once. Which then caused a serious loop when jumping between systems when the "tunnel" animation going from stargate to stargate wouldn't end. Docking at the nearest station (changing session) did fix this, but in the meantime I had nothing, no overview, no dScan, nothing, just had to guess where I was going.
And when starting, it took over an hour just to load the GUI and HUD, and another to load all the items in my inventory. Station enviromnent still doesn't load correctly (just renders black with the lights), and overall just buggy.
Mind you, I've been on decent net lately, I normally am on 4G LTE, and was also on decent 2 meg internet, but this is just rediculous. I can't imainge playing when I'm in a reception area that gets Edge (128kb/s) or GPSM (56k).
I thought this was going to be an option, not something we're forced into. Now EVE is virtually unplayable for me, which I figured as much going into it. There is much less stuff to render in Diablo 3 and other DoD game, EVE is massive.
I've had many friends with similar issues on landline T1 and fiber connections, so I know its not just my internet.
