Syril Sneer	Posted - 2007.12.09 12:53:00 - [31] I think this has worked for me - I only get the flickering when I have a window minimised on my screen, close the window or have it open and I think the flickering stops. Will test more, but try it and see.
Franga Caldari NQX Innovations Southern Cross Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.09 12:56:00 - [32] Originally by: Plausable Swap Would be sick if someone else was having this problem and knew what was causing it or how to fix it. Oh my goodness - yes! I thought I would never find someone who as having the same problem I've just been laughed at for days in my corp because of this. My rig: Intel Dual Core 2.66ghz 2gb ram (667mhz) nVidia 8600-GT ASUS PK5 Mobo _____________________________ Eldo spanked my sig but I can't be bothered changing it just now.
Antraxx Caldari Deviance Inc DeStInY.	Posted - 2007.12.09 13:15:00 - [33] Also having the same issue-almost constantly now... Annoying as hell,and man i hope it gets fixed//workaround soon. Dont really wanna have to revert to Classic. :/ P4 3.4Ghz Extreme 2GB Dual Channel Corsair Nvidia 8800GTS Asus motherboard Windowed//Fullscreen etc makes no difference at all. ---------- ---------- Deviance Inc. is recruiting!-Eve mail me :) Originally by: CCP Sharkbait we are screwed. delaying startup again.
Vahligmarr	Posted - 2007.12.09 14:11:00 - [34] same here, happens randomly, not workaround found yet, has an impact on performance, mostly objects like astoroids, especially in deadspace, constant flickering of the names also, like if you click it.

CCP Casqade	Posted - 2007.12.09 17:18:00 - [35] Can you who are experiencing this please send us a bug report on the issue with reproduction steps, screenshots and logs so that we can look into this. That would be very helpful. 1. Read here: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=585921 2. Go here: https://bugs.eve-online.com/newbugreport.asp

Cyberus Caldari Wreckless Abandon Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.12.09 17:38:00 - [36] Edited by: Cyberus on 09/12/2007 17:39:29 Damnit. i just did read that topic 3 hours ago and was happy this is not happence to me. But i was wrong:(. Just 5 minets ago i got exact same experiance with "flikernng" screen. Its seems to me that windowed mod of EVE do very fast swap between desktop and the game window so you cant even get the screen shot of that. + even if you do it will still get picture in game. I did recognize that because i have TRINITY wallp. on my desktop and when i did look much better i saw that ships on the picture. I suspect it has something to do with windowed mode of EVE. So guys tell if you have that bug only while windowed or also in fullscreen? And its not only NVIDIA problem i run ATI here. Dual core e6600 asus p5w dh 2gig dual ram x1900xt GC running eve always windowed.
Seth Allasatre Gallente	Posted - 2007.12.09 18:19:00 - [37] I reported this bug last night and got a response an hour ago - they're aware of the problem and have added my comments to the existing issue in their tracking system. As others have reported, if you find a workaround, PLEASE post it here. We finally have a good thread that can be tracked.
Suks2bme	Posted - 2007.12.09 18:25:00 - [38] You guys may want to try changing your video settings rso;ution to a more standard resolution and see if it makes a difference, It helped me
Angelus Custos Deep Core Mining Inc.	Posted - 2007.12.09 18:26:00 - [39] I have this problem, exept the screen does not flicker, only the text naming the selected item, some NPC icons and some mission structures. I never encountered it outside of missions either.
Cyberus Caldari Wreckless Abandon Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.12.09 20:23:00 - [40] i have noticed that changing settings ( window mode to fullscreen and back) helps as well.
Savoir Beta	Posted - 2007.12.09 23:09:00 - [41] I've developed the same flickering problem. I also loose the ability to lock a target for a time. This issue seems to be driver based. I have not had this problem until I upgraded my Nvidia drivers. I would roll them back if I could for a test but I'm not sure which version I had previously.
Tellenta Gallente White-Noise Skunk-Works	Posted - 2007.12.10 02:20:00 - [42] Just started having this problem tonight... can't quite figure out what kicked it off... It is however the most annoying thing. I start to lag horribly. doesnt coincide with any software/hardware upgrades
Seth Allasatre Gallente	Posted - 2007.12.10 07:32:00 - [43] Edited by: Seth Allasatre on 10/12/2007 07:32:56 Well, I don't know why, but the problem did not occur for me today at all while using the premium graphics. I ratted and ran anomalies that have caused the issue in the past few days, but not a single text/item flicker. Is it possible that switching to classic for a while and then switching back to premium changed something? Heck if I know, but I hope it stays fixed.
Vahligmarr	Posted - 2007.12.10 09:38:00 - [44] still having the problem, randomly in mission deadspace areas. having a nvidia 7800 gs here with latest drivers.
John Blackthrone Caldari Fnord Works	Posted - 2007.12.10 17:27:00 - [45] Edited by: John Blackthrone on 10/12/2007 17:29:52 I got the same problem, it seems to occure when there are alot of struckture, ships etc in the overview like in deadspaces or lvl 4 missions... System: AMD 3000+ nforce 2 Chipset 2Gb Ram Win 2000 Sp4 Ati x1950 Pro 256 mb Omega Drivers (Cat. 7.10)
rValdez5987 Amarr Asylum Research and Development Legion of Honor	Posted - 2007.12.10 18:42:00 - [46] I previously had this issue, but installing the new nvidia forceware drivers that were released very recently for my gf7600 GS r2, fixed the issue. I would suggest installing the most updated drivers, and if that doesn't work... then file a bug report as CCP has said.
Vorjak Ogreblood	Posted - 2007.12.11 06:36:00 - [47] \o/ I'm not alone :D I've had this problem too since the premium stuff. I had updated the drivers of my old 6800 pro nvidia card beforehand so i have no idea if the problem would've been there with the old drivers. The thing is... I don't remember having this issue when i was doing lvl 2 missions for my research corp. Only when i started doing lvl 4's again. I've never submitted a bug report before since i've been lucky enough to have very few problems but i'll try and make a good one for this.
ArchenTheGreat Caldari D00M. Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.12.11 08:25:00 - [48] It happened to me too. It's not selection only which is flickering. If you look closer you can see some objects (ships) moving left and right by one pixel.
ApaKaka Brutor tribe	Posted - 2007.12.11 09:42:00 - [49] Yep, happens to me too. Targets flicker and the entire screen is 'shivering', it's mostly noticeable on the star background. Also I noted my computer starts clicking incessantly whenever I target anything on my HUD, probably from disk activity. When I start the resource monitor in Vista I get a lot more pagefaults per second on the memory tab (from 0/1 per second to like 5-10/s), and the disk has a lot of loading activity on EVE .stuff files. I also noticed after a while (few minutes) this stopped, and the flickering dissapeared, so maybe it's an issue of when EVE is seeking around the .stuff files for models etc.
Brackun The Flying Mongooses Terra Incognita.	Posted - 2007.12.11 13:38:00 - [50] I think I'm experiencing this as well. I'm in space, I select an object and the text begins to flicker constantly, very fast - just in space, not on the overview. System: Intel Core 2 Duo E6300 Asus P5B-Deluxe Nvidia 8800 GTS 640MB (latest beta drivers v169.09) Auzentech X-Meridian 7.1 (sound disabled ingame) Windows XP Professional SP2
shuckstar Gallente Hauling hogs Libertas Fidelitas	Posted - 2007.12.11 15:51:00 - [51] I get this flickering aswell, mainly when at POS and using pos structures, horrible seeing the words ship maintance array flickering away like crazy behind fittings panel when refiting ships in space
Naesse Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.12.11 17:21:00 - [52] Edited by: Naesse on 11/12/2007 17:22:09 Edited by: Naesse on 11/12/2007 17:21:05 Yes, flickering problems here too. I can't seem to find what starts it but I noticed that when I closed the market window I had opening while traveling the flickering stopped. 8800GTS 2GB RAM E6600 Vista EDIT: Was able to reproduce it. In space I opened the market to Search... typed in a ship name and clicked on it to show the prices... flickering started again.
Vahligmarr	Posted - 2007.12.11 17:52:00 - [53] Edited by: Vahligmarr on 11/12/2007 17:52:36 sent a bug report yesterday, and got an answer today, they're aware of the problem and try to track the bug down. you guys should sent your dxdiag's in (via bug report) too. maybe this makes it easier, i don't know.
Violet Cobra Last Resistance	Posted - 2007.12.14 18:06:00 - [54] I'm not able to write down a step by step instruction in order to reproduce this effect. It hits my client at any situation so far. It doesn't matter if I'm on a mission, at jump gates or in front of stations. I even get the dramatically fps drop inside stations (but without flickering, because there are no selections). But logging this effect seems to be hard, because sometimes I can play 3 hours without the problem, sometimes it hits me within several minutes. So far I wasn't able to get a useful logserver output. Still trying
Rovente	Posted - 2007.12.15 01:29:00 - [55] I have this problem as well.... I have disabled eve voice and cleared the cache it seems to be holding for now. I also am using the premium graphics and a nvadia high end card. Please keep this thread alive if you find the real solution!!!
Vergil 577 Gallente MAIDS Terra Incognita.	Posted - 2007.12.15 13:03:00 - [56] It seems to stop if you dock and undock. -------- MAIDS. Don't know why I join a corp with such an obscure name.
BobCba Lolcorp	Posted - 2007.12.15 13:36:00 - [57] Same issue. Busy scenes seem to cause it. Some of the objects in space flicker, along with their tag. Docking cures it. I'm going back to the classic client until this is sorted.
Xanath Fireheart Under Heavy Fire	Posted - 2007.12.15 14:41:00 - [58] I just had this happen when three small NPCs spawned while I was sitting in an asteroid belt. Docking seemed to fix it for me, though for a lot of people this isn't an option, So I hope CCP can track this one down.
Ashlynn Tanaka Gallente	Posted - 2007.12.15 16:44:00 - [59] I have the same exact issue with the Trinity graphics. To the Dev: It's a little hard to come with a good screenshot as the name of the object you currently have selected continually flickers on the side of the window or the corners. I took one screenshot of the problem in question, but the flickering name did not appear in the screenshot. The problem occurs regardless of graphics settings set for your computer as I have tried as many known combinations possible. It also occurs anywhere from within 10 minutes to 2 hours of playing the game. Many times you would be unable to select the target and would have to be very close to it to even select it. Once you are able to select the object, the name of the object selected would flicker off to the far side or corner. At that point I would quit the game and restart it. I have tried deleting the cache, turning off the cache, going to 24-bit instead of 32-bit. I have also tried turning off HDR and lowering Shadows. But, whatever I try, nothing would fix it. Also, another issue I have noticed with Trinity: After an hour to two hours into the game, the game would periodically pause or skip. Example would be while mining or fighting, and the whole scenery pauses for a second or two then the animation returns to normal. After two to three minutes, it pauses again then returns to normal. It does this continually until I shut off EVE and restart it. I thought the following were the cause of the problems: - Drivers: Latest drivers installed, other 3D games exhibit no problems. - Heat issue with card: Temperature at normal limits, no overheating. NO other 3D games have the same issue. - Insufficient memory: 3GB DDR2 RAM and 6GB paging file. So, it can't be a memory issue. - Fragmented hard drive: Hard drive is not fragmented and has no errors after a thorough scan. If this can be fixed, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
Vahligmarr	Posted - 2007.12.15 17:02:00 - [60] thought it could be the dither feature, but no, has nothing to do with it, prob persists.
