So far I'm the only one of my friends to experience this, but I get it without fail, every time I play eve now.
I launch eve, and while I'm in dock I am fine. I undock, play around (mission or just fly around) and then dock again. The instant I go to dock again I am hit by crazy lag that causes EVE to go extremely slow (it stutters doing anything). The lag affects my entire computer (Windows Vista x64 Ultimate). I've never had this before and I have no idea why it just started after the latest patch.
My system runs a core 2 duo at 2.6ghz, 4gb of ram, plenty of hdd space (sata 2) and an nvidia 8600gts. I have premium gfx and AA enabled but I've run this gfx setup for a while now with no problems until now (so I know the gfx settings aren't causing the lag).
Once I've docked and got the lag (and my entire system is affected), undocking or anything won't fix it. Sometimes undocking and staying in space does fix it, but if I dock again the lag is back (while in dock).
Anyone else experiencing this? Anyone know how to fix this or what's causing it?

Nope, not hard drive related. The system runs just peachy and I've performed scandisks to check for any minor problems. EVE doesn't really write much data except for the game logs anyways, and if it were having problems I'd notice system errors (of which there aren't any for that).

Further checking shows that when docked and experiencing this lag, EVE is using about 50%+ CPU and is around 650MB of ram on my system.
I think this is a graphical problem - but it only started since the hotfix for having the cache setting actually work (which was a few patches ago). I've submitted a bug report (submitted another one before which I didn't know was related to this one, but it's exactly the same thing) - just wondering if I'm the only one with this or what...

nope, your not the only 1, there have been other people having the same problem, aswell as me too.
After i log in, within 5minutes i start to lag in the station, when i undock, the lag goes away and comes back every now and then, but while i am docked, the lag is constant, its allmost unplayable.
i have logs dating back from 2005 and eve ran perfectly on my system up untill the last few weeks, not sure which patch it was after that caused this. so i know its nothing to do with my computer, and only eve.
turning down the graphics, resolution, and going to classic mode do nothing, the lag still happends.
my usual FPS in station is 60, and when this lag happends (constantly in station, every 5-10min in space) it drops to 7 FPS
i use:
nvidia 8500gts, 3gb ram, at 2.2ghz, 120gb hd (71gb free space)
and so far i havnt noticed any respones from a GM to this issue on the forums. =/

What is your cache size setting? (Check this by pressing Esc and look in the Display and Graphics tab)
If you change this setting, does it have any effect on the problem you are experiencing?

iv tryed with the cashe size setting: low, none, and high
all 3 have had no effect on this FPS issue
i have also cleared the cashe via ingame, and had no effect.
one thing i have noticed tho, when i alt tab and check my system processes, fileexe for eve grows to 300,000K or sometimes 400,000K and my CPU reaches 50-60%. i also see spikes in the graph for CPU usage. not sure if this is normal or not, because i dont check my task manager often.
not sure what else the problem could be, all i know is that i havnt changed anything on my computer for the last year when i upgraded my graphic card. Then all of a sudden in the last few weeks i have gotten this problem.

Babo, you described pretty much *exactly* what I'm experiencing. I've cleared the cache a few times, tried messing with gfx settings here and there (I have AA to 16x though and I have not tried tuning that down yet - that's my next step).
I have filed a bug report and got a response from a BH saying they can't reproduce it and need more info. I have tried reproducing it a few times and so far I haven't been able to when the logserver is running which sucks.
Babo - the CPU spike is exactly what I notice too. When you're docked and you get the unbelievable lag (I'm not sure what my FPS is, but 7fps sounds about right) the CPU runs around 50% or more. Right now I have my cache set to high and it uses about 650-700MB of ram when I see this bug happening. As you say, tried changing the cache levels and it doesn't make a difference (restarted client too to make sure it took effect).
If anyone who gets this problem can capture logs showing the problem, we might get closer to a fix for it - however I'm certain it's something that was introduced after patch 56866 (it first started when one of the two hotfixes were applied, and has been apparent since then).

No, this doesn't seem to make a difference, however the first hotfix that tried to make that setting actually work is when this problem first became apparent. Perhaps there's a problem with the "fix" that makes that setting work now?
I'm more than willing to try and get you any logs you need to help fix this problem - it really sucks having to quit every time you dock just to get rid of the lag.

I'm having something very similar, are you running more than 1 client by any chance?
I haven't really noticed it much while running just 1 client but when I opened a 2nd client the same kind of problems start.
It might be related to this topic: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=810031

No, this is running just one client and I'm getting this problem, however the two problems sound very, very similar - I wouldn't doubt if they are somehow related.

I get this sometimes while docked.
EVE uses almost 100% CPU, my paging file size doubles... and everything (except EVE, thankfully) barely responds at all. Not sure about RAM usage; I don't know how to check on that.
Oh, and turning off station environments doesn't actually turn them damn well off. 
I'm using the old client (as in, not the premium one).

i am getting this too. random FPS drops after about 5 minutes of play. my cpu usages goes up to 100%
i have tryed both with premium and classic client. my system says its all fine. no hardware issues, nothing is underclocking. i have changed drivers, run boot time scans, cleared the chache etc...
it only ever happens when i run eve. there has been much hair pulling.
im runing vista 32
pentium core-2 2.4ghz duel
4 gig ram
nvidia 8800GTS 320 meg
currently due to this i am relegated to my lap top which runs eve fine thankfuly but its starting to burn my legs  |

Even with shadows off, i stil get this problem...
even with smallest resolution, cashe size doesnt matter, eve voice off, sound off.
nothing matters and i used to be able to run eve with all settings on and turned up with no problems at all!
I even tryed a system restore to months ago when eve was running fine, no effect.
Im tellin u its got to be after 1 of those patches in the last month or so. prolly between EA and now.

I seem to be having the exact same problem. Been playing 21 days now and since last night, the game periodically (every 5 minutes or so, for 15 or more minutes) lags to an almost unplayable level.
I play on a 2.66 dual core intel processor with an Nvidia 8500GT. I have never had this problem before. I've restored to a point before I even installed the game and get the same result even now. I've checked for Windows update issues and found none. I've updated my video drivers but no effect. I have now noted the effect in other games I play (WoW and CoH). They start out fine but the framerate slows to an unplayable level.
It actually acts like a memory leak (checking my physical memory, I find out of 2029kb, only 45 are free, 1413 are cached, and at most, I may have an Internet Explorer and my antivirus software running at the same time)I just can't find which process is not letting go of active memory. What is really irritating, is that restarting the computer provides only a temporary fix...it eventually begins to lag again.

One common thing between us all appears to be the nVidia graphics cards 8000 series. Perhaps it's something to do with that... I've been trying to run the logserver and catch EVE with this bug but no luck yet since I'm having a tougher time reproducing it now that I removed the latest hotfix patch.
If we could get a Dev to look in to this issue more it would be VERY helpful, since there is certainly a problem here!

Its not just a 8800 series problem, it afects various rig setups.
The way you described the problem it sounds like the EvE client is flooding your GPU with massive amount of data.

It's not the tracking IR thing - that's disabled for me and I've never enabled it.
I don't believe it's related to that "video card killer" thread - my system has no overheating problems and the first sign of a video card being overworked (as the OP describes) is that it would overheat.
The problem is completely solved by restarting the client, and usually by just undocking and going in to space (oddly enough with way more things to draw and such). It doesn't seem to be directly related to video card issues at all. It seems like EVE is somehow flooding the *CPU* instead, which indirectly causes lag visually because the CPU pre-renders some data apparently (so if the CPU is flooded with other requests, video will lag since it can't pre-render some video data before the GPU gets it). That's my take on it anyways - there's a setting in the nVidia CPL that says how many frames are pre-rendered by the CPU before the GPU gets them (and says setting it higher makes low FPS games smoother - I have it set to the default of 3) which is where I'm coming up with this assumption.

yeh i'm definitely having a problem similar to this, only mine is always down to 40 fps as soon as i log, it won't go past 42 fps despite all attempts, and cache shouldn't be a problem when i have 3 gb's of free ddr2 800mhz ram, but even when cleared nothing changes.
And it's not just the 8xxx series i have a 9600 gt with same problem. I even OC'd it some and the problem is definitely client related cause i still get 40 fps.
I know 40 fps is still playable but a very scary drop from 70-80fps from a few weeks back last time i logged in.

I just had same exact problem docking at an outpost in 0.0 my eve.exe file memory usage just kept rising and rising until it crashed out and i had to manually end the process.
You explain this well Im getting the exact same problem exactly as u describe it.

I play in windowed mode - alt tabbing is being done all the time (well, not actually alt-tabbing, but I swap to different apps constantly). Doesn't fix this particular problem.

I had this same problem since empyrean age but setting the present interval under display and graphics to default seems to eliminate the problem for me, and that's with premium graphics.
I get 25 more fps with interval set to immediate but then i get the horrible station lag.

I have read somewhere as to what that present interval setting does - it's apparently for vsync. Setting it to default is whatever your video card defaults to, immediate is vsync off, and the other setting is vsync enabled... so yes, setting it to something other than immediate will probably drop your FPS since vsync tends to do that.
I have no vsync enabled though - I've tried interval default and immediate and since they're already what I use, no change in FPS or this bug. Thankfully I have recently experienced the bug while running the logserver so CCP now has some logfiles to rummage through with this bug hopefully logged in the events.

Another update - I have tried disabling the "load station environment" setting in the client, and it apparently makes no difference in the CPU usage when encountering this bug, so it's certainly not visual GPU lag or anything... it's something with CPU specifically.

It may be that your system is rendering lots of pages when docked, that might be making the graphics card overheat and then start glitching.
Have you tried changing the graphics setting Present Interval = Interval One?
This should make your gfx card only do a maximum frame rate of 60fps or whatever your laptop (or other flat screen) display can show.

Setting the the interval to default didn't work, just takes longer before the first lag spike appears.
Also tried both interval 1 and 2 and so far haven't lagged at interval 2 but there my fps is down to 30.
I think nutbar is right about that it's cpu related, i also get the 50 to 60% increase in cpu activity when eve lags out.
And like Babo Warrior i changed nothing in my system and ran eve perfectly fine before one of the emp age patches, can't remember which one though.

I have a problem that sounds exactly like what you guys have.
CPU jumps to near 100%, fps goes down (in my case to like 0.5).
Only thing is that in my case it doesn't seem to happen when docking, but generally when I'm running a mission. One moment I'm fine with 40 ships shooting at me and me shooting back, etc. And then all of a sudden CPU jumps to 100% and I can't do anything at all.
I've had to kill my client twice now to avoid losing my ship....
I've never had these problems before (I stopped playing for some 3 months or so), and used to run 2 clients on this exact same setup, in the same level 4 mission, without any problems. (both clients in the same space even..)
This makes Eve pretty much unplayable for me :( I hope someone can figure out wtf is going on. I'm now going to experiment with the sync settings, and hope I can find something there that works.

I've potentially found a fix!
I don't know about the rest of you, but I run EVE in windowed mode. I experienced the bug again today and tried various gfx setting changes in EVE, and setting EVE to fullscreen mode fixed it!
My FPS was 17 in dock, and CPU usage was at 42% avg. Once I went to fullscreen my FPS went to 66 and my CPU usage dropped down to the usual 2%. Seems like it's something relating to that specific setting for me - hopefully this fixes it for others too.
BTW - after flipping to fullscreen I went back to windowed mode and the bug was still "fixed". So, if you get this problem, flip to fullscreen and then out again and it should be OK - no more need to restart EVE.

Nah didn't work for me and i run fullscreen mode, also tried forcing vsync off in nvidia settings and got a slight fps boost but if anything that actually increased the lag spikes.
But then i tried disabling Hdr lighting and got a hefty fps boost, now i got around 180 fps in station and no lag so far.
But since i'm no computer wizard what does this mean?
Problem with my graphics card?
It's a Geforce 7950 Gt.
Was the default hdr setting changed with EA?
Since i don't remember changing it and the problem started after EA.

HDR is an advanced graphic setting, and enabling it will make your video card work a lot harder (it makes surfaces appear to be much more "shiny" and the reflections appear more realistic).
Personally I do not use HDR, so not sure if that makes our problems different or not (esp since you mention you run in fullscreen all the time).

After a long break from the game, about a week ago I came back to EVE, finding it to work perfectly,well at least for a couple days then it started to lag up when ever I was in the dock.
The problem only start when I try to sell items,or go in to the market. When doing so the game freezes up for anything between 5-40 seconds at a time ,going back and forth between flickering black screens.
My CPU goes up to about 50% on my Quadcore setup and all other programs and applications on my computer work flawless while the game freezes up, so it dont affect anything except the whole client. The game dont lag anyplace else though, only times I get in to serious lag all the way down to 0 fps [checked the fps and it showed as 0 a couple times ingame fps monitor].
My setup is a AMD Phenom 9500 Quad - Black edition / ATI Radeon 3870hd x2 crossfired / 8GB RAM / Vista Ultimate 64x bit.
Tried to change the hardrive it was installed on, from having it on a fully clean gaming only hardrive which had same result as a usual standard hardrive.
Also tried all the tips that has been given across the forums here which,well, quite fairly didnt work. Played around with the settings in the options menu and still nothing seem to work,from cache setings to resolution settings, just wont work..
Anybody got any idea as of what might be causing these problems,seeming alot of people are having em at the moment, bugs from a patch,maby?

I get the same thing, only worse. I can get lagged in battles or anywhere to the point of getting dropped even by server.And I have several pc's to choose from but doesn't seem to make any difference. This has been a problem for about 2 months now at random.So as for it being last patch or before I would have to bet on ti being specific to this game only and is a cumulative problem due to earlier patch in conjunction with latest patch (due to the fact it got even worse) after last patch.
In otherwords I have tried various settings, and all options at my disposal to figure this out but nothing seems to work. Also I might add that it has come to a point that even damage has occured to one of my pc's motherboard and video card.On that pc I run vista on a hp pc, has upgraded 88*** series nvidea card. currently pc is in the shop getting rebuilt and I am now limited to running a laptop and unable to function cept to train.

I get this problem too, had it long before Empyrean Age though, a minute or two after docking my frame rate drops to under 8fps making it very tedious and hard work to do anything in the space station. As soon as I undock my frame rate shoots back up to a normal level, 45-50fps.

This is related to the whiteout bug. Whenever your fps drops or you get whiteout then use the fix in the OP, or you can lock your desktop then when you return it will be fixed.
This is a very old bug that doesn't affect enough people to be a priority so just do the lock desktop trick whenever it happens. Every once in a while eve will crash though, so don't do it if you absolutely cannot crash. Wait till you're safe. |

What some people may think they're experiencing is just lag, thus they may just ***** to themselves/others in game and not report anything. The number of people who actually experience problems in the game and report them may also be very low - people may not know what the problem is or how to report it properly, or may not even read the forums.
You can't say that just because only a handfull have reported a problem that it's a small problem. An issue such as this one, which may be tied in with the core graphics systems in the game should be dealt with as if it were a normal graphical engine problem. Some memory leaks may take days to be noticable - doesn't mean they're any less of a problem as a huge memory leak. A leak is a leak, and they should all be fixed regardless of size. It's not the size of the bug that should dictate it's priority, it's WHERE the bug happens in the program that should dictate it's priority. This is coming from a programmer and debugger. |

Similar problem here, I get tremendous lag, almost unplayable, only when docked(any station) browsing the market only!!!(Most noticable when viewing market details for a specific item), All other in-dock functions work flawlessly. Only fix so far is doing a system reboot which seems to work partially so may be only coincidental...have had the prob ever since the last upgrade to Emperyan. I normally play in full-screen mode and have not noticed it as of yet in windowed-mode.

I think same problem here. Although it sounds like some people posting in here are maybe reporting unrelated issues.
For me, once I dock, it slams my computer.
My hunch is that this is not related to graphics because my whole computer is just brought to it's knees. Even as I type this post, my typing is about 1 whole sentence ahead of what the computer has displayed. All apps are starved for CPU time.
For reference, I have windows XP and a 7800-gtx (something like that, but not an 8 series) so it is not a problem related only to vista or 8 series cards.
CCP please do something about this. The posters who said it was with the recent patch are correct. This is not an old bug. I've never had problems like this before the recent patches.

This. I got a new computer (Vista, dual-core processor, 2gb of ram) and theoretically it should blow my previous XP laptop out of the water in terms of performance. Instead it's actually a lot laggier in stations, especially when using the market and viewing market details for items. This is a crushing blow as I'm a trader and live with the market page open. I'm wondering if this is related to Vista, since I ran two accounts today in the same station and only got the lag on my Vista machine.

Just an update to let anyone who's affected by this problem know that the bughunters have officially filtered my bug report for the last time. I can't give them any more information on this bug that I haven't already given them. If anyone else has 100% reproducable steps, please provide them so I can re-open my bug report.

This problem as described is a perfect match for what my laptop does whenever I dock. It happens when I open the market window while docked (having not yet undocked), but also when I dock from space (ie, undock, then dock with a station again, or log in while in space and then dock). The strange part is that I have two machines with EVE Online here, one being my Vista 32-bit business edition laptop with a Core 2 Duo CPU and Nvidia Geforce 8600m videocard (3gb RAM, not sure on the videoram for the 8600m). The other machine is a (much older) AMD X2 6400+ with an Asus nvidia 7950 GT 512mb and 'only' 2gb of ram, running Windows XP 32-bit. Only the laptop is affected, despite being overall the (slightly) faster machine in terms of both GPU and CPU performance.
Whenever the problem occurs, CPU use on the laptop jumps to 100% on the first core and memory use steadily grows until EVE Online reaches about 1.5gb, at which point it stabilises and continues to run at a couple of FPS. Until I undock at which point performance is back to normal. |

This happens because eve doesn't even try to limit the number of fps the station is rendering and makes you computer go all nuts turn off in station rendering or turn on vsyc from an external thing like your nvida control panel since there is no in game option to turn on vsync. |

Incorrect. This problem was never apparent for the past 2 or so years I have been playing eve with vsync off. I have always played games without vsync (used to find gameplay smoother without vsync). I have since turned on vsync for EVE and yet still have this problem, so it is unrelated to vsync being enabled or disabled.

I'd say that the problem has increased its frequency after the last patch... at least in my case O.o
now it is constantly happening...
Do not try and find the signature... that's impossible. Instead only try to realize the truth... There is no signature. |
