Click the link in the OP, and/or watch the video. tldr; it’s a graphical effect patch.

It’s to brick some older gpus and make your fans going turbo and your computer starts flying around the room, so you don’t need to use any ships, isk saved, profit. :slight_smile:

Wasn’t this patch supposed to be yesterday, according to the dev notes?

Sometimes, I miss the old days when every time there was a patch, the game broke down like it had borderline personality disorder and a minor inconvenience just happened (don’t look at me like that, I have BPD, I can make those jokes)….. maybe this update will bring that nostalgia back.

I’m still hoping I will see another “backwards flying Loki” or something like that, but I think I got into Eve too late

what, they are bringing back the old login screen?

I had to disable new DLSS settings due to my eve client hanging/crashing on heavily decorative warp gates. I’d hang when really close to warping at a pretty gate. this is a on amd 7950x3d, nvidia 4080 running all the latest win 11 24H2 updatges.

Alyssa Hartsford, Same here but with Nvidia 2060. Each few jumps game freeze. Funny thing about it is if you go on auto trip is moving forward, so you might end up at final location if you wait enough. But flying on auto… might be not the best way to travel.

would rather you fixed the game play issues first……like this decade.

Thanks for the notice that the auth server was going down early and not letting people log in…… ffs can you guys do anything normal……

god DAMN!!! :zany_face:

Goodness gracious, my hulls on fire!

fiyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Potato mode activate!

So hull tanking just got even scarier… nothing like a bit of fire to help you realize your bad choices that lead you to this predicament…
