Kolmogorow Freedom Resources	Posted - 2008.06.03 14:50:00 - [31] Originally by: Kagura Nikon Full screen ALWAYS. video card drivers are MASSIVELLY optimized towards full screen operation. WHAAAAT??? Does this mean that you'll have better frame rates and reduced client side lag in full screen mode? Interesting, I need to check this out (playing always in windowed mode).
Pak Narhoo Pacific Starfleet Command	Posted - 2008.06.03 14:53:00 - [32] Yeah having spaces on the Mac is absofraging fabulous, can't live without it anymore, other then that I always play in windowed 1200 x 800 mode. EVE looks really horrible in full at an 24" Originally by: Mr Cleann When I mine. I like to mine in peace. Not in pieces.
floggar	Posted - 2008.06.03 14:53:00 - [33] Originally by: Le Skunk oh god. another AKITA T "why im right" mega thread. Whats next - WHY IM RIGHT TO HAVE MY SPEAKERS VOLUME SET TO 6, AND WHY YOU ARE WRONG TO HAVE IT SET TO ANYTHING ELSE SKUNK exactly what I was thinking. Akita T= most arrogant poster in eve.
Sarin Adler	Posted - 2008.06.03 14:54:00 - [34] Fullscreen + alt-tab, good enough. Indeed if you have the same resolution ingame and in your desktop is not much of a problem.
Winterblink Body Count Inc. Daisho Syndicate	Posted - 2008.06.03 14:55:00 - [35] Originally by: Akita T Like this : Linkage. Ah, Andromeda... such potential. That show went into the toilet so fast when the lead writer left. warp drive active \| nature vraie
XFranc Traders and Industrial Miners of Eve	Posted - 2008.06.03 14:56:00 - [36] I run two accounts - so need both clients to run windowed. If only Eve wouldnt minimize the fullscreen mode when you click on the other screen, I would be laughing.
Xtreem Knockaround Guys Inc. Exxxotic	Posted - 2008.06.03 14:57:00 - [37] i window mode all the time, alot easier

Pfft, everybody knows EVE has no sound, doesn't matter what level you set your speakers to Oh, and the only reason I'm arrogant is because I'm usually right (or pretty damn close) Sure, I'm completely and utterly wrong every now and then, but unless proven otherwise first... And by the way... thank you, it's nice to know somebody cares enough to hate me 1\|2\|3\|4\|5
Hugh Ruka Exploratio et Industria Morispatia	Posted - 2008.06.03 14:59:00 - [39] Originally by: armas Originally by: Akita T Originally by: armas Fullscreen, only takes a quick control + alt + left/right to spin the cube. headscratch I have no idea what you're talking about... pic Yes, this is what I want to get working ... bloody ATI Linux drivers ... --- SIG --- CSM: your support is needed !
Volarius D00M.	Posted - 2008.06.03 15:00:00 - [40] I am currently running eve fullscreen on my mobile phone and I Greenphoneicon-Tab between that and a WoW client as well.
Solsson	Posted - 2008.06.03 15:01:00 - [41] If I'm investing my attention and time into EVE-Online, I'll play it fullscreen at the maximum resolution (1280x1024), as this gives me the best FPS and screen estate. Otherwise, I'll probably play a notch lower in the resolution in Windowed mode (1024x768) while doing other things.
Le Skunk Low Sec Liberators	Posted - 2008.06.03 15:01:00 - [42] Originally by: Akita T Edited by: Akita T on 03/06/2008 14:53:06 Originally by: KompleX Always play window mode. WTB maximised window mode without borders tho. If you select a windowed resolution exactly as wide as the desktop, you can manually position it so that you have no left nor roight borders, and only a 2 or 3 pixels border on the upper side. That's how I do it, anyway. Like this : Linkage. Is this thread REALLY gogin on about 2 pixel wide borders. OH NOES THE BORDERS!!!!! THEY ARE RUNING MY EVE EXPERIENCE SKUNK
Akita T Caldari Navy Volunteer Task Force	Posted - 2008.06.03 15:03:00 - [43] Edited by: Akita T on 03/06/2008 15:05:13 Originally by: Winterblink Ah, Andromeda... such potential. That show went into the toilet so fast when the lead writer left. HEAVILY underappreciated show. The mere idea of the Nietzscheans, for instance. Or the slipstream/slipdrive concept. And a lot more of the small things here and there. All of them, huge potential, good cast/characters too (half of them anyway). Too bad it was set to such a child-like audience, especially later in the show. Originally by: Le Skunk Is this thread REALLY gogin on about 2 pixel wide borders. OH NOES THE BORDERS!!!!!

Faife Noctiscion	Posted - 2008.06.03 15:06:00 - [44] fake fullscreen on windows, fullscreen on os x because i don't have a choice on that one. otherwise it'd be fake fullscreen on both
Poreuomai Mirkur Draug'Tyr	Posted - 2008.06.03 15:18:00 - [45] There's a windowed mode ?!
Zev'Nar	Posted - 2008.06.03 16:14:00 - [46] 1 client then full screen 1680x1050. 2 clients windowed 1400x900 ----------------------------
Mattikus Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2008.06.03 16:21:00 - [47] Originally by: Kagura Nikon Full screen ALWAYS. video card drivers are MASSIVELLY optimized towards full screen operation. Agreed. I never ever ever play a game unless its fullscreen. You got these guys on here crying, *****in and whining there they get bad frames and this and that...well have they ever thought it could be due to the fact that they are not playing in Fullscreen mode? Besides...alt-tabbing in and out of eve is just milisecond wait time so Im not bothered by it.

Or maybe invest in a hearing aid and get your hearing looked at all together? Cause when I play eve I definately HEAR sounds of all sorts.

Or maybe invest in a hearing aid and get your hearing looked at all together? Cause when I play eve I definitely HEAR sounds of all sorts. He is referring to things as they were a year or so ago. When the eve sound system was rather archaic and cost most people a good chunk of FPS. The "Eve has sound" line was an in joke as just about every pvp player had it turned off. It was upgraded around two patches ago. Now days It doesn't seem to cause me any lag at all for small fights. Then again I would probably kill it off for a proper fleet bash, but then again. I will tap the ground three times with a lucky rabbit foot and say 15 hail marys before a fleet fight
Hanneshannes	Posted - 2008.06.03 16:37:00 - [50] Fullscreen.

So I agree on the "eve has sound?" line...but I just find it overused, played out, not funny, etc. Can I get a lucky rabbits foot?
Chomin H'ak The Trivenerate	Posted - 2008.06.03 16:40:00 - [52] I do. Because I have multiple computers to gather oog intel... so why not?
Fist1	Posted - 2008.06.03 16:41:00 - [53] Edited by: Fist1 on 03/06/2008 16:41:52 Originally by: Akita T Me, it's always windowed mode, as wide as the screen, but slightly smaller on the vertical. Still, I see a lot of people talking about "alt-tabbing out of EVE" and such... so I wondered, how many of you still (for some unknown, obscure reason) play EVE in fullscreen instead of the much more practical windowed mode ? And if you do play fullscreen... why ? most play full screen because weak vid cards suffer in windowed mode. not sure how bad it is in eve, but many games suffer severe frame rate drops when windowed.
Matthew Cooper Who What When Where Why and How	Posted - 2008.06.03 16:44:00 - [54] Edited by: Matthew Cooper on 03/06/2008 16:46:34 Full screen. Back in the day, when I would play on a CRT monitor, the difference in brightness between the Windows UI/desktop background and the EVE window would always bother me. It was a lot easier on my eyes to alt-tab to allow a short transition from one to the other. Originally by: Fist1 most play full screen because weak vid cards suffer in windowed mode. not sure how bad it is in eve, but many games suffer severe frame rate drops when windowed. This was also a factor back when I was using a Pentium 4 and a Radeon 9800PRO I've been playing on a LCD display for about a year now, still full screen. I guess it's mainly for the immersion factor. Even when I'm doing other things while playing I still feel more of a citizen of EVE without the window. That's typically also the case for me and any other game too.

And if you do play fullscreen... why ? Windowed mode is only more practical if you are short on PC's. I play fullscreen because I can, with no need to compromise, unlike you. See, that is how you do arrogance. Eve-Online: The Text Adventure
Ethaet Aliastra	Posted - 2008.06.03 16:51:00 - [56] I used to play full screen for the resolution, until CCP broke it by changing it so alt tab would cause a client crash 25% of the time. Now I play eve windowed at 1600x1200 (monitor resolution) and use the option in evemon to move the window so the title bar doesn't show. It looks like fullscreen, but doesn't crash when you alt tab. -------------------------------------------------------------- Seriously, we need some kind of separation between the post and signature. There you go. Now that wasn't so hard

Too bad it was set to such a child-like audience, especially later in the show. They did have that one ep, can't remember much about it, but they were dropping some kind of singularity bomb or somesuch to kill an alien invasion of some kind. Anyway, had to be like one of the biggest explosions I've seen in a sci-fi, outside of an anime. warp drive active \| nature vraie

Alz Shado Ever Flow	Posted - 2008.06.03 16:58:00 - [59] My system locks up completely if I run two clients both with Trinity, windowed or fullscreen. Sometimes, just for good measure, it eats some DLLs so I have to reinstall the whole client. I only get graphical corruption when I dual-client fullscreen with classic content. Windowed it's fine. So typically I'm windowed with classic graphics on, even though my rig should "On Paper" support dual clients full-screen. //// ---------=== []= ---------=== \\\\ Rifter(RedBad) "Kill a man one is a murderer; kill a million, a conqueror; kill them all, a God." -- Jean Rostand
Dingi223	Posted - 2008.06.03 17:02:00 - [60] Full screen to get AA&HDR goodness, window mode loses that. Full screen is significantly more optimized and leverages my SLI setup Full screen - gfx cards run cooler Full screen - maximize pixels and screen space, I actually like seeing my ship and not fly by instrument, it is a game after all. Have a laptop which is where any 'alt-tabbing' needs to be done
