This problem will only affect people with photo-sensitive epilespy (flashing lights, strobes etc) so if in doubt see your doctor to double check.
I suffer with epilespy myself but not with the above, there are many different things that can trigger seizures and yes they can be fatal.
So for safetys sake get checked out, Eve is a great game and it would be a shame if something like this spoilt it.
Fly safe. |

I didn't even think about this - but it also happens on my login screen sometimes too! Usually right as the game starts up and the Condors fly from overhead. Once they fly around the station it usually has stopped. It does not happen everytime on startup, which is odd since I assume the login background is 100% the same each time?
However, settings affect this background too iirc - as in if I lower the details, for example, the background details will diminish too as if in game. But that 'fake system' background is a solid example of the flashing occurring at random. |

Like he says, this can be a very serious issue - all kinds of players play EVE, I remember color-blindness being a topic of importance quite some time ago and the desire to have the game have a UI setting for color-blind players. (Color Blind, if you did not know, doesn't necessarily mean seeing black and white only - it can be a whole range of random colors, just not all of them like normal sight.)
That this happens on the login screen means 'turning the camera' isn't an option either - but it also proves it happens with a still camera. So whatever the problem is, it's not necessarily the angle of the camera but directly tied to the sun's effects. |

SandKid wrote:So ever since the new changes from Crucible (which the vast majority are way awesome), I've noticed that just about every other system has a sun that flashes like crazy.
My screen, flashing solid white intermittently, cannot be good for my health (considering it does actually cause me headaches after awhile). Now my current remedy for this is to simply rotate the camera away from the sun - which means if combat layout of a mission or fight happens to be TOWARDS the sun, I'm screwed.
Is this a known issue? I recall it happening pre-Crucible, but it was very rare. This is now happening on a very regular basis and, in a way, it really destroys the playability of the game because literally you cannot see the screen from it flashing white constantly.
Does this have to do with the new flare on the suns? And is CCP aware of the problem? Of all the things Crucible needs fixed (which isn't too much, you got a ton right) this needs to be near the top because of how severely it affects gameplay and player comfort. I joke about epilepsy, except this issue is so bad it really COULD kill someone that's epileptic.
Any others suffering from this very annoying graphic bug?
to turn off the epilectic seizures hit esc & uncheck "sun is occluded by objects" Everytime you buy something that says "made in china" you are helping the rising unemployment in your own country unless you are from china, Buy locally produced goods and help create more jobs. |

Prior to the Crucible expansion, I never experienced a "flickering sun" problem. Now, however, I experience it all the time, and it's pretty annoying. Yes, I know I can turn off the Sun occluded option (and I have), but I wish I didn't have to.
Oh, one other thing which might be helpful, prior to Crucible, I was running an Nvidia 8800GTS. With the expansion, I also updated my video card to an AMD 6870.
So, maybe the expansion doesn't matter, and it's due to the video card, or vice versa.
Either way, it sucks. :( "I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. GǪ" |

Photosensitive epileptics are the only ones who suffer from bright / flashy lights. Also, I don't believe (though I could be wrong) that people have just dropped dead from it!
As for the matter of the sun being too bright. Do look directly into the sun IRL?
Perhaps when you have to look toward the sun you should wear sun-glasses? Welcome to EVE online, here's your rubix cube, go F*** yourself GÖÑ |

I get the bug you are describing when I dual box in window mode.
As soon as I do that, looking at the sun on either client may result in hard white flashing. It was before crucible though. Crucible they just turned the brightness of the sun up, because :literally nobody knows the **** why they would do that: |

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.
For me it's just when an object blocks the sun if the camera moves a bit you get the flashing effect. Even a pod can block the entire light from the sun apparently

Same for me. This issue exists since Incursion expansion. I hoped this would be fixed in Crucible, but not. |

Some things that could be important:
- What processor do you have? - What video card do you have (SLI/Crossfire)? - What kind of monitor do you have? - Are you running at the monitor's native resolution? - Do you have VSync on? - Are you setting object to occlude the sun?
I've heard complaining about this for a while, but I've never encountered it. I've had 5 different video card set ups (8800GT SLI, 8800GT, 250 GTS, GTX 560 Ti, X1600m), 4 different monitors (laptop, single LCD, dual LCD, dual LED), and 3 different processors (old something, q6700, and i7 920) in a few combinations so far with no issue. |

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. The flashing has been going on for almost a year now actually.

It was supposed to be fixed, and I think it was a few updates ago, but it seems to be back now. http://youtu.be/yytbDZrw1jc |

this is AMD specific bug so they pprobably won't fix it since they have some kind of deal with NVidia. |

I also have this issue, turning off "Sun is occluded by objects" does fix it for the most part, but i still get occasional flashes where the screen goes completely white.

Can we just turn off the sun? I've always thought it was too bright, like staring a light bulb...
edit: 90% of time when i moved my camera was to make sure I wasnt looking at the sun. |

I get the sun flares as well. ATI chip, dual box - 1 client/screen in fixed window mode, only really happens when facing the sun, but happens in many systems, mostly when missioning, especially when there is clouds present on grid |

I have noticed how the brightness of the suns makes it near impossible to see your H.U.D if you have it pinned. It is a problem I am sure they can fix. |

I have this problem too. I've always just assumed it's the bloom effect going nuts. I've noticed this happen on a smaller scale with objects in space getting covered in a white blob. Used to happen for me all the time on starbase control towers. Since a star is much brighter it would make sense for the whole screen to go white. |

I've had the problem for a while, it doesn't bother me too much, quickly looking away from the sun and looking back at it usually fixes the issue.
And it normally happens when I'm warping so it doesn't effect my ability to do most things. |

bumping as this issue is starting to really annoy me.
i used to have an ATI 5750 and now a 6850. makes no difference.

I was honestly about to write a sarcastic troll comment about this but you know what? Fix it CCP, people already have to deal with douchebags in EVE Online they don't need the game causing them medical problems when they log out as well.
