I have this problem since Tyrannis. It only appears when dual boxing, even when using two screens. It happened on ATI card first, then later on Nvidia. No driver fiddling would mend it.
I never bug reported it, because disabling "Sun is occluded by objects" makes it go away completely. |

I don't have that issue, and the suns get occluded by objects.

Probably be a good idea to check in Issues, Workarounds & Localization sub forum channel for any related info.
Probably best to do as others have listed, deselect the Esc menu option 'Sun is occluded by objects'.
Also, can easily rotate the camera view so that the sun isn't in it. |

Hi there,
Is this view angle dependent for everyone who experiences this?
Also, is this tied to solar systems. Is it more likely to happen in certain systems? If so please list them here or preferably in a Bug Report.

Also if you are full screen or windowed, and the graphics settings. I keep all my graphics low (so I can run 3 clients on a laptop) and almost never see a flash.

Iv never kept track of the solar systems it happens in, but it happens frequently enough so i dont think its dependent on particular systems.. It is dependent on a particular angle you look at the sun at, i usually just move the camera away to stop it.
Guarantee you i will go and try to figure out the angle or something and ill never be able to purposefully get it to tell you. |

System dependent, and when the sun is in the fov. |

Ummm. Which category should the bug report be under? Art? Tech Art?
It matters not which system I am in. But both accounts need to be in space then if the sun is in the fov (regardless of whether this is true of the other one) white-outs occur on that account.

I've seen it in many different systems - some times, and some times not - so for me it does not seem to be system dependent. I do indeed dual box, and I noticed someone mention that as a potential cause. I'm almost certain the issue is related to sun flare...here's my example.
When warping acorss a system, sometimes the screen becomes very light blue - you can see through this mind you, like something casting a blue light on the system. This brightens as you rotate the camera towards the sun, and lessens if you face opposite the sun. If you actually VIEW the sun, the flare ceases and usually won't return (rarely it does).
The main problem I listed probably has to do with the sun occluded option - I don't mind the sun appearing and disappearing because of this, but I do mind it causing the incredible white flash on my screen which I assume is an insta-flare from the sun suddenly 'appearing' from behind objects rapidly.
The problem is most apparent at Jump Gates and/or sites - I honestly can't say I've seen it while at stations. I see it most frequently during missions, but I also see it in roid belts when my corp gang mines. It's not the roids blocking the sun either and often, according to the solar map, there are no stations, planets, or other sites between us and the sun - which implies it's not an object affecting it.
I wish I could give more information - or better yet pictures. I may try and video it happening if I can. At this point I just turn the camera away when it happens, but that's very problematic in missions if what I need to fly towards (for looting, fighting, w/e) is the same direction as the sun. It really breaks the enjoyment of the game - not like you can't play EVE from strictly the overview. |

Here too. Since years. HD4870 + up to date catalyst.
A workaround is to disable the option "items occlude sun" (if remember correctly) in the menu. Looks ugly though. |

This made me laugh...
In all seriousness, everyone else who has this issue please submit a bug report if you can give concrete details:
If it happens in the same systems
If it happens at specific events (like rats spawning or some such)
If you see a correlation between hardware and the problem (Dual Boxing only?)
This isn't something affecting all of New Eden (or maybe it is and most just didn't bother to report it...), but it's a serious problem none the less that ought to be remedied. It dates back years, but until now it wasn't a severe issue as it occurred rarely. This implies that w/e code affects it can be changed - it's not something necessarily buried deep in the chasm of ccp development.
Thanks for all input - if you DON'T have this issue, do post your video cards and hardware. That might help form a correlation. For example I'm noticing ATX and NVidia mentioned on problem people a lot, but not much of anything else. |

Haven't had this particular problem. Though I periodically get something similar with gates being flashy white, but it goes away when I jump out and back in. |

I should try that...
Make ICE deplete and re-spawn just like roids. That alone would stop botting.

I get occasional flashes with ships warping onto my grid.
Sometimes I also get a very fast succession of flashes without any apparent reason while just sitting in a POS, but changing the zoomlevel appears to make it stop for most part.
This happens on two different computers, both with ATI gfx cards (HD3850 and HD6950) and has happened for quite some time now (since Tyrannis might be right). |

This is happening to me in nearly every system. Currently using an HP Touchpad notebook. (AMD Turion dual-core, ATI Radeon HD 3200 graphics) I've seen it with both the factory default video drivers and the newest generic ATI drivers. The client is running on an external monitor in Fixed Window mode with 1680x1050 resolution, with medium shaders, high LOD and texture detail, and everything else as low as it can go.
It is not system-specific. It happens in nearly all systems, no matter where I go.
It is viewing-angle dependent. It happens only when the sun's location is visible, and seems to occur whenever objects/brackets occlude it. Turning the camera away from the sun makes the flashing stop.
It is not dual-boxing specific. I get the flashing screen when running a single client. I am, however, extending the desktop over both the external monitor and the notebook's own screen.
Unchecking "Sun is Occluded by Objects" in the options seems to fix the problem.
[*] The flashing started on TQ when Crucible was released. It didn't occur in the Crucible test builds on Sisi, but I don't know if it happens on Sisi now. I might have a look later if I remember. |

It depends on the color of the star for me.
blue whitish are more prone to do that then red in my experience |

There is an option to occlude the sun. I used that for awhile when mining, now I just automatically turn away. It doesn't flash for me, just whites out pretty much the entire screen.
7300 GT, all settings lowest.
Had same problem with 8800 GTX before Incarna burn it. So, I would say that it has been ever since Incarna as that happened some months after it came out and I had idled in the Captain's Quarters thinking my machine was fine with it after testing it.

I have this problem too, have had it for months.. well before crucible.. I think it started with Incarna..
It's REALLY annoying, and yea gives me a real headache if i don't rotate the sun out of the frame which does often put me in a poor tactical position to observe the combat) |
