ati mobo,ati vid card, amd 64 3500 cpu, 4 gig of ram. Untill now a rock solid single instance eve machine.
I thought game was working fine last night. Very early this morn after reboot i kept locking after 2-3 jumps. Restarted pc, turned every non esential program/service off. As soon as i opened eve now, cpu use hits 100%. If i logged in and chose a toon, couldnt get past entering game screen now. R&R'ed EVE, and it changed nothing.
Still thinking this could be a overheating thing, i pulled fans from cpu and vid card to insure a good cleaning of sinks. Man ati use's tiny screws to hold fans covers on..... Put it back together and nothing has changed except fans are quieter now. Thinking that since i found quite a hairball under vid card fan plate, i entertained the thought that i may have killed the X800XL. I removed all ati drivers, then replaced card with a nvid 8800gtx from my sli machine along with latest drivers from nvid. I was still locking after a jump or two.
1. I only run the old graphics on any of my machines as its just less lag imo. 2. The system has no problem running Halflife II, it was this fact that made me seek forum help. 3. The system has been running eve with no probs for over a year.
Please roll this patch back untill it has been proven on Sisi. Feel like im playing a microsoft game were you just know your really a paying beta tester.
POSITIVE NOTE: Thought the updates on motd was quite professional.

BUMP, BUMP made some setting changes that can get me thru 4 jumps or so, but cpu use is still causing lockups.

Originally by: Sean Drake Ok since the last patch anytime I play EVE my gfx card fan kicks in at full power so much so that i can hear it over the case and cpu fans.
I have a 8800GTX and allthough this does not appear to cause any problems so far the fact that crysis on Very High at 1960x1200 does not do this and yet EvE does has me a little worried.
Card does appear to be heating up more as well and a corp mate also with the same card has the same issue any ideas.
Thats crazy, my ati card was doing that right before i swapped 8800gtx in. The gtx now runs fairly silent, but game is taking longer to lock
This crap is just not fair!!!

So we get any good news yet? Ahh peeps quiting....Cant say i blame ya. Kinda hard to play a game that wont run for more then 2 minutes at a time.
SO CCP, HOW MUCH LONGER AM I EXPECTED TO WAIT?
SHOULD I REALLY HAVE TO PAY FOR 2 ACCOUNTS WHEN I CAN ONLY PLAY EM ONE AT A TIME BECAUSE OF CHANGES YOU MADE? Wetchaser |

Apparently hard shutting down locked eve clients hos'es the registry some were. I did it so many times client had refused to open after a complete removal of anything eve related anywere on pc (outside of registry) and a fresh install of client.
Bit the bullet and reformatted pc. Was actually quite easy since i remembered the procedure so well from when my windows .ini er .exe got hosed from a few patches ago.........
Comon CCP take some notes here.........stop testing patches on the masses.
Game now uses less then 20% cpu but lagg is baad. Wetchaser |
