Edited by: InnerDrive on 19/03/2008 17:22:49 Coudent find a better place to post about this.
And seeing my petitions dont get answered..
Thats right , since the patch i havent been abble to use 2 accounts anymore without getting the second client i try to start (problem occurs right when i start the client i never get ingame with it) to not display or crash my computer with no solution but hitting the power button (ctrl alt delete not working).
Is this a known issue thats beeing worked on? and what the hell did you do to the graphics engine that so manny people have issues running multiple clients now?
If you dont fix this im going to cancel my second account.

Edited by: InnerDrive on 19/03/2008 18:28:42 I asure you , if this was a mere graphics driver issue i woudent be making a post about it on here, i been playing games long enough to know the first thing to do is make a clean install and upgrade graphics :), this issue has been occuring to a large amount of people running various different operating systems , graphic cards drivers u name it.
No this is a issue that started with the last patch and included things like , space turning white with 2 frames per second, client causing computer to lock up at starting, second client hiding in a corner on screen, massive flickering with only option to shut down computer completely.

we're going to need some specifics about your computer to help you.
Are you running vista? if so, turn off aero...some graphics drivers have problems with windowed games interfering with aero.
you can test this temporarily by opening a elevated command prompt and typing "net stop uxsms"
then give it a try.
Theres nothing inherent in the patch itself causing this, I was running 3 windowed permium clients at the same time last night...so theres some combo of elements making you hit this that we should be able to fix.

I partially disagree. Before the patch I was perfectly capable of running 2 istances of EVE with very good frame rate.
After the patch as soon as I try to opend the second account the whole screen start flickering and the PC lock.
While it is certainly dependent from some combo between the hardware and the EVE software, it was something introduced in the last patch that did the trick.
Honestly I don't really want to spend the euros for a new video card until I am sure it is needed and that it will work right.
Reading the comments in the treads about this problem I get the impression that it is not needed and that the "wrong" chard, even a top of the line, will not guaranteed the smoot functioning of EVE with multiple accounts.

and what are your comp spec? if everyone provided addition info, instead of "it just doesnt work now" we might be able to establish a pattern, and a generic list of steps to take when you are having problems.
EVE talks to directX, not to the video card. underlying hardware should not matter, what matters is drivers, OS, other programs running that might be tickling the vid card, etc. 99% of the time is a drivers issue of somesort.

I have had this happen a few times since the patch (never had it happen before), but restarting Windows fixes it for me. I've got a GeForce 7600GT and a Core Duo E6300.

found another bug, "selected item" window in the upper right corner seems to be bugged.
when you first select a item from your overview the distance that you were from that item at the time of clicking is shown on the "selected item" window.
its not updating it even go's as far as not allowing to use a gate or open a can when your in range of that gate just because your selected item window says your 50km away eventho ur sitting right nexto it.

Well, I have a simple Athlon x2 3500+, 3GB RAM and a GeForce 8800 GTS 640, running on Vista x64... I can run two Clients in windowed mode without any heavy FPS drop (125 FPS one client, 115 FPS two clients)... I have no graphics errors - I can even use nHancer to set the AA options of one client to 16xSS and still have more than 60 FPS... --- This is your Captain speaking. Thank you for flying with our spaceline. Please remain seated until the ship has completely burned out. Thank you. |

Have you tried removing your old cache? Sometimes one of those fles gets corrupt and you get exactly that problem.
I have been running mostly 2 and sometimes 3 clients at the same time fine. I do play windowed for alt tab convenience and i use EveMon window positioning to make it apear as full screen.
Works like a charm

crappy forum... I had written a somewhat detailed description of my problems, but then the forum decided to be a complete pile of **** and forget that I was logged in!
anyway, I have issues with overall performance and FPS. it started since 1.1 and it is definately 1.1 doing it. Lag in PvP is the most terrible it has been for 3-4 years.
Fix fix fix fix fix fix, etc....

I still have this issue As i write this one of my eve clients broke down/went corrupted and is hiding in the upper left corner of my screen again. This started after i had to reboot because just at the moment as i started a second client on the same computer my whole screen started to flash and i coud only hit the power button to stop it, ctrl alt delete or alt F4 was not working.
Plz fix this , im going to lose ships from this in eve if it catches me at a bad moment, and i know this cant be healthy for my computer itself either having to hit the power button.

Personally I have been having a weird issue where the first time I boot up 2 clients my FPS goes to like 2, but by the time I hit Ctrl-Alt-Del to check the CPU usage the FPS goes to a standard rate.
BTW, there is a technical help forum for each platform (Windows/Mac/Linux) you may want to try there.
