Just wondering what's going on with the missing warp effect bug? It was introduced in Incursion and it still hasn't been addressed. I opened a bug report a while back and was told that it was a known issue. Guess it's not a simple fix if it's still broken. Any ETA?

I also get this. Warp effect is very.. hmm.. sporadic. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. It's pretty random.

However, I've never noticed the warp effect missing when running a single client, only when running two clients. It *kind of* seems like the client that doesn't have focus loses warp effect more often than the one that does have focus, but its not a sure thing, its still fairly random. Sometimes both clients have no effect, sometimes they both have effect, most often one has it, one doesn't.

EDIT: Also, it flips around a lot. I run my two characters together pretty much always and they fleet warp around. The missing effect affects both clients, sporadically. IE: One time I fleet warp, both clients have effect, next time, one might not have effect, another time, the other one lost the effect but the first one worked ok, and of course, sometimes both get no effect. Just saying it's not a permanent glitch, one time you warp its there, another time its not.

This was fixed, but it would appear some players are experiencing this issue again. When did you file the bug report regarding this please?

Anyone experiencing the missing warp tunnel, can you check if you have depth effects effects enabled in the "Display & Graphics" tab of the game settings, and see if disabling this option helps the warp tunnel to show up more reliably?

I am also still getting the issue (it was never fixed for me) and I have tried various iterations of settings, etc including depth effects.

Additionally I just noticed that on the mission Recon (3 of 3) the toxic cloud is not showing up... it looks just like normal space except the random debris and the damage periodically.

Thanks everyone for the replies. At this points I am sadly out of ideas in regards to this specific issue and it's likely that we will need to collect more information on this in the form of bug reports. Please include a DxDiag file and the settings screenshot to that report, and if you managed to catch such a missing warp with the logserver tool, then add that log file to the bug report as well.

I think it has something to do with tabbing out of the game while in space. I'm not 100% sure on this yet (therefore no bug report written yet), but it seems similar to WiS: When you're not in the game while the station environment is loading, the game won't draw your character.

Edit:
Seen the static warp distance remaining too, but it's not consistent (sometimes there's no effect but it's still counting). So this might be a different issue.

I get this issue without alt-tabbing unfortunately.

In regards to the missing cloud in the mission "Recon (3 of 3)" as mentioned by Aelana Anais, there is no need to bug report this anymore. We know about it and this is already being worked on, albeit I sadly have no information at this point on when the cloud will return.

Everyone having this problem should also see if it also occurs on Singularity. (So far, the warp tunnel has been present in every warp I've done in Singularity.)

When was it fixed?
I have always had this problem since CQ.

Hello CCP,

This is also an issue for me across 4 different computers, all with different hardware and graphics settings. One is a new 27inch MAC, this one is an Athlon X2 with an AMD card, my work machine is running the latest quad intel proc and an 8800GTX card... you get the picture, I am 100% sure it is not hardware related (if that helps).

Here is my take on it:

I believe this has to be to do with the player moving the camera before activating the warp. If you undock from a station, do not move the camera even 1 pixel, right click on something in the overview and warp you see the bubble every time, if you move the camera even slightly, I don't see the bubble.

That is the same symptom across all 4 machines (the fourth is a laptop) and I can recreate it every time, as I always move the camera around it sucks to be me since I no longer see the nice warp effect (ever) and it really detracts from the immersion of the game. It doesn't matter if you are undocking from a station or just arriving out of a gate or what, once you have moved the camera, no more warp bubbles for you!

Please fix it, the warp bubble was always a little bit sporadic when I used to play, now I genuinely never see it, and it sucks, the warp effect is a real part of eve for me as it gives you the feeling you are powering through space, without it you just get to look at your stationary ship all the time and its pretty crap :P

EDIT: Think how many new players are coming to eve and don't even know the warp effect exists? I tried eve because I saw my friend playing and thought it looked ace *because* of the effect!

Everyone having this problem should also see if it also occurs on Singularity. (So far, the warp tunnel has been present in every warp I've done in Singularity.)

Also, it's a good excuse to check out the new CQs.

If the problem still shows up, definitely submit a bug report with your settings, Dxdiag, and logserver data.

The warp bubble goes away 90% of the time in fleet warps, if you're warping by yourself, that's why it probably seems to be fixed.

Have you tried it on Singularity?

Just saw in another topic that has the related issue explained it will be fixed when the Winter Expansion gets released.

Need warp effect back...... immersion go bad

I know I sound like a broken record, but please try this on SiSi. I haven't been able to reproduce the problem there. It's very likely this will be fixed in the winter expansion.

This build will feature a new warp tunnel effect (try warping through a planet for the wow factor) and engine trails.

Yeah, the new warp tunnel on sisi is win.

seems like the bug is fixed with the last big update...

thanks ccp

greetings psyk2152

Definitely not fixed!
I still have no fancy new warp effect. It was there just after Crucible launch, and then mysteriously disappeared a few days later.
