Plausable Swap	Posted - 2007.12.06 23:19:00 - [1] The only way I can describe this is a flicker. On my space (not overview) when I try to mouse over anything, nothing comes up when I am on something, instead the icons just flicker and I have to click at least 10-20 times before it actually selects something. When something IS selected, it flickers on the sides of my screen and where it's selected, sometimes near the cursor. Fixes? ++
Plausable Swap	Posted - 2007.12.06 23:21:00 - [2] oh, and it's premium graphics. ++
Plausable Swap	Posted - 2007.12.06 23:34:00 - [3] Would be sick if someone else was having this problem and knew what was causing it or how to fix it. ++
Bixxeh	Posted - 2007.12.06 23:42:00 - [4] ive had it where a ships name was flickering - i just targetted something else then swithed back not sure if thats what you are on about tho :p

Sm0kE Ganja Labs Pure.	Posted - 2007.12.06 23:49:00 - [6] I've been out ratting and this has happened 4 times now. I've had to relog the client. What happens is you warp into a belt or something and as you're targeting one of the ships names ex. "Patriarch Drone" will start to flicker very quickly. The screen shakes as well, up and down and it makes me dizzy as all hell. It makes it near impossible to click things in space, like trying to write a note while having a seizure. ------------------------------------------------ Anyone got a good compression tool for EVE sigs?

Yeah, this is sort of what I've experienced with it. Kinda makes you sick after a bit Changing targets worked once or twice for me but usually doesn't.
crimson moon81	Posted - 2007.12.07 00:28:00 - [8] your best bet is to use the classic client untill all the bugs get worked out. i am haveing the same problemand have switched back to classic with no flickering effect. Please resize image to a maximum of 400 x 120, not exceeding 24000 bytes, ty. If you would like further details please mail [email protected] - Cortes
Gemstone505	Posted - 2007.12.07 09:04:00 - [9] Yup, same flickering issue here as well, all name tags flicker non-stop, asteroids flicker bigger and smaller, screen is shaking slighlty, havn't figured this one out either. I did close the market and a few other windows and it went away, but that only fixed it one time out of pure luck. Also running premium graphics without any of the other new features on.
Sarina Tillaar Caldari Swordsisters	Posted - 2007.12.08 10:51:00 - [10] I have it too
Skyee	Posted - 2007.12.08 11:10:00 - [11] Have you checked that you have a graphics card that is valid for the premium graphics and that you have updated the drivers for it? The shader 3 technology is hardware implemented in the card and if commands are sent to control this and the hardware is not present this could cause problems, and also if the drivers are out of date so it is worth checking for this
Syril Sneer	Posted - 2007.12.08 11:29:00 - [12] I have the same problem, I think I'll go back to Classic for the time being.
G0rF Gallente The Causality Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.12.08 11:38:00 - [13] Also suffering this issue. Click an object on OV, object name flickers next to object, but also at nearest edge of screen. This means that in order to select the item in space (from HUD not OV), I have to mash the left-click. Premium Graphics, Asus P5N32E Board, E6600 2.4GHz C2D CPU, 8800GTX GPU, 2GB Corsair 800MHz RAM.
Galliana Foresta Fleeting Moments of Insanity	Posted - 2007.12.08 11:53:00 - [14] I have the same problem with the flickering and shaking screen. Here is a 27mb .avi file for your viewing pleasure. I run 2 accounts, both with premium graphics, and it usually only happens with one of the clients.. Docking cures it, but it's a damn nuisance as it happens again 5-10 minutes later anyway. My system: Athlon 64 X2 3800 2GB RAM 256MB GeForce 7800 GS It happens windowed and fullscreen, at all resolutions up to 1280x1024, with and without AA and AF, HDR, shadows et al. Be nice to know if there was a fix to this. Tbh it makes the game unplayable. Regards, Galliana. ---------------
RythemAndStealth	Posted - 2007.12.08 12:19:00 - [15] i have the same problem allthough it seems random for me AMD 3700 Nvidia 7900gt XP pro sp2
Grez Minmatar e X i l e Atrum Tempestas Foedus	Posted - 2007.12.08 12:21:00 - [16] Asteroids get randomly bigger when I do this (flicker back and forth big><small). --- Have a rawr on me.
Y3R M4W	Posted - 2007.12.08 12:36:00 - [17] I noticed this on wrecks whilst missioning. Very frustrating Note: YER MAW! is Scottish for Your Mother.
Galliana Foresta Fleeting Moments of Insanity	Posted - 2007.12.08 12:38:00 - [18] Just wrecks for you, huh? Lucky you ---------------
Akkarin Pagan Minmatar Raddick Explorations	Posted - 2007.12.08 13:46:00 - [19] I have the same issue. Targeted selection name flickers between the object on the HUD, and the edge of screen. I've also noticed the large collidables flicker at some ranges, as well as the screen seeming to jump slightly. I can live with it (mainly because I play zoomed out a reasonable distance), but a fix would be nice. System, Intel Pentium IV 3.06 Ghz, 1 Gb Ram, Windows XP sp2, and a GeForce 7600GS card. I'm just going to try installing new drivers (if there are any). Will report back shortly. Akkarin Hopefully the mods won't play with this one <3 - Immy
Trioxis Caldari Playboy Enterprises Dark Taboo	Posted - 2007.12.08 14:06:00 - [20] I had it too, but when I pressed alt and selected something else it stopped. Don't know if this helps for the lot of you.
Akkarin Pagan Minmatar Raddick Explorations	Posted - 2007.12.08 14:57:00 - [21] I've downloaded and installed the latest nvidia drivers. I still get the flickering, but the game is performing better. Akkarin Hopefully the mods won't play with this one <3 - Immy
Violet Cobra Last Resistance	Posted - 2007.12.08 16:57:00 - [22] Edited by: Violet Cobra on 08/12/2007 17:00:47 Same thing here. If it happens the framerate drops down to 3fps. After hitting ESC 2 times it works again with normal fps but the flickering selection text is still there. After docking/undocking it's ok again until next fps dropdown. Very strange. Btw, i'm playing with a Radeon HD2600Pro AGP with latest Catalyst 7.11 drivers. So it's not a NVIDIA problem. Seems to be a problem in EVE.
Maya Sollow Gallente Product Number 3	Posted - 2007.12.08 17:31:00 - [23] Same thing here, sat in a belt, frame rate dropped and selected items were flickering and screen jumping. Also this eve forum link Athlon 64 xp3800+ 2gb corsair 3200xl ddr Nvidia 7600GT
Seth Allasatre Gallente	Posted - 2007.12.09 03:55:00 - [24] I'm having this exact problem and have posted in a couple threads about it. The flickering occurs in almost every deadspace/anomaly I run. I haven't figured out anything to consistently get rid of it, but I'll try the alt-trick. P4 @3.5ghz 2gb RAM AGP 7800GS, 163.75 drivers And yes, my card is more than capable of handling SM3 gfx.
Bleh131 Gallente Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.12.09 04:59:00 - [25] Edited by: Bleh131 on 09/12/2007 05:01:20 Same problem here. I have a geforce 7900 gs with latest drivers and an amd 2.4ghz duel core. Blobs trigger it, aka hostile gangs warping in and such, and it stays till i relog, which can be a problem when you're engaged or have to warp out and can't click the damn celestial. I'm also using the premium graphics engine. Very frustrating bug :( Edit: Drops your fps by around 50 as well. Even when floating alone in a safe.
Yggdrassil STK Scientific Black-Out	Posted - 2007.12.09 05:07:00 - [26] Same thing here. Usually happens when I run more than 1 client. Relog only thing that helps. Weird thing is that it always only affect 1 (random) client - one day it could be char 1, next day char 2... Yggdrassil
syphurous Gallente Center for Advanced Studies	Posted - 2007.12.09 05:11:00 - [27] Got it here, mainly when there's crap loads of clouds and "fluff". It doesn't always happen, I've been in the same location a few times and it can be fine sometimes, and 6fps other times. P4 2.56 1 GIG DDR2, 7600GS Also the LOD on scordite is wrong & causes a similar effect. ___ All Ur Salvage R Belong 2 Me !
Thommy	Posted - 2007.12.09 07:07:00 - [28] I have had this happen too, not sure you will like my solution but for me it fixed the issue. What are the effects you will see? When you target or select anything on your screen the selected / targetted items will show their descriptions shortly then "loose" the description where the description appears somewhere on the screen edge. Asteroids, buildings basicly anything will schrink and grow very fast. You will have VERY bad FPS while this happens and relogging only is an temporary fix. What is the cause? The new trinity grpahics. How to solve this issue? Go to the escape menu and disable the new trinity graphics at the "display & graphics" tab or if you have an non eve premium 2nd client overwriteing the first one with it . Note that you need to backup cache first otherwise you might have to reset all your settings. Guide \| Patch day
Seth Allasatre Gallente	Posted - 2007.12.09 08:01:00 - [29] I agree that the premium graphics are at fault. I switched back to classic this evening and ran two anomalies and a 4/10 deadspace complex. Performance was excellent from start to finish - no flickering, no lockups, etc. Sigh... so many bugs, so many patches-to-come.
Bleh131 Gallente Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.12.09 09:48:00 - [30] I'm sure there's a way to fix this problem without reverting to classic. We should all reinstall the eve client (premium) and toy with the settings and see if we can find a solution (changing buffer size, etc) If you do, don't forget to post it here! (classic is not a solution!)
