Immediately following the most recent patch, I have experienced a severe performance degradation affecting nearly all aspects of the game when running more than one client. I have been easily running two clients for a long time, on moderate settings, with no issues whatsoever. Now I have severe hitching, unplayable frame rates, portraits refusing to load, and audio popping/artifacts. While running only one client helps, there is still a noticeable performance hit since the patch even with just the one client running (although character portraits refuse to load regardless)
Per some of the recommendations, I have cleared my cache, reinstalled the client, reinstalled my video driver, and verified that Windows is up to date. Nothing works. In short, It's not me, it's the game.
I would like to hear that this is known, and is being worked on, otherwise I will have cancel at least one of my accounts, as having two makes no sense if I cannot play them both. |

So ******* nothing then? The top thread in this forum is about the same thing, and no acknowledgement there either.
I am not normally the one to **** and moan, but I'm also not one to pay for things that are broken - and CCP has certainly broken something with this last patch.
I want to know that this is a known issue, or I will find something else to blow tons of money on.
A simple "we know, and we're working on it" will suffice.

If you are referring to the fix that is supposed to be on the test server, it didn't fix anything for me. |

I checked that too, but my voice was actually not enabled by the patch. |

I appreciate your help, but I have been doing this long enough to be able to troubleshoot my hardware. I get that some people have no Idea what they are doing, but I'm not one of those people. |

Reinstalling the graphic driver for the Nvidia card then:
* Open your Nvidia Control Panel. * Select Manage 3D settings. * Choose the Program Settings tab. * Under 'Select a program to customise': Find Eve Online in the drop down menu and select it. * Under 'Select the preferred graphics processor for this program': Select High-performance NVIDIA processor * Click 'Apply' at the bottom right corner of the window.
* Opening Windows 10 settings. * Click on Gaming. * Selecting Game mode tab in the left menu. * Turn Game mode to off.
I got excited for a moment, because you correctly described my system based off of the issue I am having, and it gave me hope that you were onto something, but unfortunately the fix you suggest had no effect.
I cannot stress enough that for a long time I have been playing with two clients, side by side on separate monitors, with no problems whatsoever. The FIRST time I logged in after this latest version update, there was a noticeable problem.
Thanks for trying though.

While it initially seemed to have no effect, roughly 30 minutes after making these changes the problem seems to be resolved. My two clients are running like they were before this problem started. I would suggest rebooting after making the above adjustments.
Many thanks to GM Mechanic.
