December 2017 Arms Race Release – Known Issues & Issue Reporting

Yeah, as mentioned already by others, this is working as intended for this particular event.

Ah ok, I’ll just log on an alt in the same system then! Problem solved!

Onlining the Reprocessing Module in Athanors will not make Reprocessing available. This bug exists since a few weeks at least and hasn’t been touched. Why?

Arms release may have broken gas combat site spawns. Unable to verify due to nature and location of gas hotspot constellations and general lack of info on anything combat booster related. less than 30 minutes before posting this I scanned the entire Hostpost constellation for amber gas (E-8CSQ) without a single gas combat site. was able to find 1 pre arms race and can’t today. there was no other scanning traffic while I was there and even if there was I double checked and there was no respawn.

The Assault L4 is still broken. 2 back to back, same issues. After attempting to blitz and no completion, going back in with a marauder and wiping all pockets still won’t complete the mission.

After the update (mostly when beginning combat) after leaving a station and moving around in space the game becomes jittery and unresponsive. Withing 30 seconds of this screen freezes and i get the " exefile.exe has been blocked from accessing graphics hardware" popup. So basically entirely unplayable for me now.

Problem didn’t exist before the update and didn’t start until after the update was installed. No amount of un/re-installs of game/drivers has any effect.

op - win 10 x64
gpu - amd r9 360
cpu - amd fx-8800p r7

yada yada

Are you running Windows 10? if so, read more…

If you right click the start menu button at bottom left and click on system. What is your Windows 10 Version Number. If it is 1709, look into reverting updates to get Win 10 Version 1703 stable. 1709 has graphics changes in it which causes numerous games to crash. Feel free to PM me in game if you have questions. Cheers o7

Im on 1709 but only updated after this problem/arms update began. It was a last resort after nothing else fixed the problem and also didnt fix the problem or make it worse.

Annoying flashing of system messages is still too “obvoius”. My eyes are bleeding and twitching! All my dreams is to shut that damned blinking of “Your salvage attempt failed” down!
:confounded:

This is particularly annoying just before DT when the thing flashes every 5 seconds.

I had two R7’s before and had lots of issues with them, especially after updating to 1703 win10 and to 1709 win10. Seemed to get worse with each update. On 1703, I got no “blocked from accessing graphics” and only got that on 1709, however, I had constant crashes in Eve using my R7’s no matter what build. Like I could sit in station all day and no issues, but once I undocked, crashes/errors happen.

I borrowed a buddies unused 980 gtx and I have to say, regardless of 1703/1709 etc, I no longer have any problems, no crashes (unless I tried to load more than 3 clients (system hang). I since bought the card off him since he wasn’t using it. I then tried to take my R7 to upgrade my second box from a radeon 57xx HD. Guess what, constant game crashes using R7 on an entirely different system. It also is on windows 10. Put the old crappying 57xx hd back in and no issues. I then put the R7 into a fully updated Win7 box I have for my tv stuff and did same tests, could not duplicate any crashes with R7. Really feels like a compatibility issue between ATI drivers and Win10

I would really try to go back to previous build win10 to avoid the graphics blocked issue. If that isn’t an option I put some other options below

Here are some other options

-Try running eve launcher and eve.exe in compatibility mode and change it to win 7 or something. Can do so by right clicking .exe and changing settings on the compatibility tab
-Try disabling graphics acceleration on the launcher and eve.exe files. Right click and go to properties and disable fullscreen graphics optimizations
-I’ve seen issues with some graphics drivers having compatibility issues, download new one fully onto your desktop, then before installing, right click and change compatibility of install file to Win7 and try updating your graphics that way after uninstalling previous driver. This may help the driver to work properly since it will run in Win7 mode.

last result, probably no changes if driver problem
-Open command prompt as an administrator, run following commands in order. This can take awhile, especially if not running on SSD
sfc /scannow
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism.exe /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth

Hopefully you find a way to get it working, gl o7

Hello, i want to ask: until when this rogue swarm beacons will be?

Why did CCP reduce the size of the asteroid field bloom effect (the thing that makes the shadow cones)? I place my citadels preferably in asteroid belts because of that effect but now it’s gone from my citadel grid and when I look towards the actual belt icon, I see a hazy red cloud around it.

Who the hell moved the duel countdown on top of the fricking swords? Now they are harder to see than before. What the hell are you doing?! :angry:

And give us already the option to turn off the dumb betting! I do not need that.

In the character sheet, when you add a skill to the queue, the time next to the skill doesn’t get updated to the next trainable level.
