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!)
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.
Galliana Foresta Gallente Fleeting Moments of Insanity	Posted - 2007.12.15 17:09:00 - [61] Trinity 1.0.1 coming soon and nothing in the patch notes about this issue. Any chance of some dev feedback regarding it? ---------------
Sharupak Minmatar Knights Of the Black Sun Brotherhood Of Steel	Posted - 2007.12.16 01:12:00 - [62] I have it too, its like playing the game in a vibrating chair. Docking and Undocking doesn't help me. I will try and clear the cache and see if that helps. Reseting the graphics doesn't help either. The only thing I have found so far is logging. _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped.

Niddix Minmatar Raptus Regaliter Phalanx Alliance	Posted - 2007.12.16 03:25:00 - [63] Dual Core 2.4Ghz. Windows Vista 4GB Ram nVidia Quadra NVS 135m I was having this problem as well. I updated my video drivers and haven't seen the problem for 2 days. (http://laptopvideo2go.com/ for INF files that allow you to install the latest unified driver with your mobile card. ) I also lowered my cache setting on the client to Low. (I am usually running multiple clients).
Sharupak Minmatar Knights Of the Black Sun Brotherhood Of Steel	Posted - 2007.12.16 05:10:00 - [64] So far, clearing the cache has fixed it for me. I played for about 4 hours and nothing happened. If it happens again, I will get new drivers. _______________________________________________ RuntimeError: ChainEvent is blocking by design, but you're block trapped.

Bleh131 Gallente Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.12.16 06:43:00 - [65] This bug not on the patch notes makes me sad :( Interesting note: I can only reproduce this bug (without a blob appearing) by searching for an item that is not found in the market. So it may be due to some infinite database query loop thing of doom that forces everything to continuously refresh? Who knows... FEEEKS EEET
Cyberus Caldari Wreckless Abandon Triumvirate.	Posted - 2007.12.17 19:38:00 - [66] Yeah.... sad i did not seen in patch notes about this as well. The client keep hammering hard drives while this problem appers. But its seems to me it helps if i dock in station its stop to do. After i undock sometimes it come back very shortly or dont bother me for hours. Thats is what is most confusing thing aboutthis. Also i have noticed it do not matter if you are in blob or travel alone in empty systems this problem appers everywhere and start shaking my ass out of chair. [/url]
Beness Absolutely No Retreat	Posted - 2007.12.17 22:09:00 - [67] I have had this behavior occur and then disappear recently. Never at state change (warp/dock/jump). I thought it might change at zoom (F10), or "look at" (specific target), but these do not affect. Jitter for a few seconds to many minutes, then stops - sometimes.
Beness Absolutely No Retreat	Posted - 2007.12.19 00:59:00 - [68] Is this still present after the 1.0.1?
Violet Cobra Last Resistance	Posted - 2007.12.25 09:33:00 - [69] Hmm, strange.... since setting shadows to "off" AND cache size from "high" to "normal" the effect almost disappeared. In very rare circumstances I still get the FPS drops (mostly inside of stations when opening IG browser or market). If this has anything to do with my new settings or with Patch 1.0.1, I cannot say.
Garrick Manson Gallente Cloak and Daggers	Posted - 2008.01.11 02:02:00 - [70] I gotta believe this has something to do with the way certain cards cache the data. Though I'm not 100% certain of this. I have a laptop with Vista and an 8600 GT running EVE Trin with high end output and don't see this problem (or if its there, I rarely notice it). Yet, my 7800GT on my tower system I see this almost constantly. Its VERY annoying, and trying to change settings does nothing for it. Its puzzling. I will try and test with it some as I'd love to see it fixed, but its a pain.

Anywhere in the application window. I can be out in a roid belt mining and left clicking anywhere in space a single time with roids in view causes em to flicker. Its hard as all get out to screen cap, but its easy enough to recreate. AMD 64 2.0Ghtz 2GB RAM 256mb 7800GT PciE NVidia (updated drivers) Windows XP
