Here I am, at it again, now with a log of my experiences:
My first attempt: It seems to me that transparency settings are not able to be fully turned off. They can be turned to maximum opacity, but not completely off. I would like to see that ability added, if for nothing else to increase frame rate on slower machines.
Response: Hello,
Please accept my sincere apologies for the delayed reply.
We always welcome reports of bugs and glitches from the player-base, however the petition system is not the place to make them. Please file bug reports using the following interface:
http://bugs.EVE-Online.com/newbugreport.asp
Using the above link will ensure that your issue is sent to the relevant department who will investigate the matter further. While I will certainly try to pass your issue on, the GM department has no direct link to the development department and as such a bug report may prove more valuable.
Best regards,
GM Karidor EVE Online Customer Support
My bug report: Description: It seems to me that transparency settings are not able to be fully turned off. They can be turned to maximum opacity, but not disabled. I would like to see that ability added, if for nothing else to increase frame rate on slower machines.
Note: Maximum opacity still performs blending calculations, thereby lowering framerate.
Reproduction Steps: 1. Open the fps graph and observe the average fps while in deadspace. 2. Use ctrl-tab to hide the entire UI (when the UI is disabled, there is no longer a blending requirement). Wait a few seconds. 3. Use ctrl-tab to bring the UI back and note the average as it was while the UI was off. 4. Change the UI transparency settings to full opacity. 5. Note the lack of change between fps with transparency and fps with full opacity. The difference between blended (UI on with or without transparency) and non blended (UI off or transparency off) will be most noticeable on lower end systems.
