so yeah I have a problem

after an update on my windows 10, the eve online graphics seems to be flickering all of the sudden, and its annoying. not only that, when I do get in to the game, its so lag its like watching pictures from a go pro camera. the stop/start of the frames are horrible

I tried updating the drives, and followed the window mode/fullscreen thing, no go

for some reason, it only affects the eve online game. my browser and other games are fine

any ideas guys?

I’m about to do a reinstall to see if that will fix this

I’m open to suggestions or help 🙂

window 10 - 1803?  
what grafic card? did you update the driver or uninstall and reinstall it?

i have win 10 - 1803 with all the updates and a nVidia card with the newest driver … no problems with the grafic

i am not sure if a reinstall of the game helps but i would first try to clear the EVE cache

hope this helps

graphic card is just a simple intel hd graphic card 1gb  
not a hard gamer. just a simple miner

ok … i guess you have all settings on low then  
update of the grafic card driver is done to?  
maybe try update all drivers … like chipset, audio, … such stuff  
could be its not related to the grafic card but to something els and you only get grafic problems …

oh ok … i thought you updated the driver already  
but anyways … good its fixed

befor a bigger windows 10 update its a good call to update all drivers
