lagging issues. i notice heavy lagging issues with the new version, the active eve clients freeze often for 1 second, i tried old version and it do not lag, the new lag. maybe this issue comes out only with heavy CPU load etc… ---

Hi. First of all, awesome tool. Ive got one question. Iam using the dualmonitor resolution of 1080x3840. My main game is on the left monitor. This is the part i want to see in the thumbnails. Can i somehow cut the area shown in the thumbnails? So that they only display the 1080x1920 aka the “left” side of the whole resolution? Thank you very much ---

Hey. Thanks 🙂 > [@Ethan\_Valerio](#): > > Can i somehow cut the area shown in the thumbnails? Nope. The EVE UI is displayed as whole and cannot be modified in EVE-O Preview. Also please remember that modifying in in any way (like displaying only part of the game screen) actually breaks EULA. ---

Hello, Problem: Black preview only. I am using 4.0.1, Windows 10, In window mode, When I press Windowskey+Tab I get previews from windows just fine, just never in the opreview squares. Has anyone made this work with the above combination? ---

Black previews mean that Windows reports that it has DWM Composition feature (part of Aero) disabled for some reason. For Win 7 this usually means that Aero is disabled at all. For Win 8+ this is either issues with GPU drivers or some issues with the Windows itself. ---

FWIW, I had windows 10 set to High contrast mode. Switching this off - restart opreview, worked straight away. ---

Well that’s (not) fun. Seems the Win features check is too picky and returns incorrect value on HighContrast mode. Still the app itself works perfectly in the HighContrast mode once I override this check. I’ll roll out an update this evening that will work in HC mode as well. ---

It depends on which language you do want to use. There is a nice instruction in Russian on XIX wiki. ---
