Biggest issues I’ve had so far are structures slower to load, so if I undock and warp to a gate I don’t see the gate until I’ve been sitting there for a couple of seconds, and cloaking devices sometimes making my ship completely invisible, instead of the cloak visual effect

Game still freezes during system change and docking/undocking ONLY while flying a Tech 3 Cruiser. it DOES NOT Happen with any other ship, only with T3Cs. Have yet to hear back after 7 days about this issue and how to solve it. It makes flying T3C’s especially dangerous in nullsec or lowsec as it takes a good 5+seconds for everything to load.

Since I didnt include the first message lol
Can you disable the Intel graphics chip and only use the Nvidia card?
Yes and no. You can force it to run apps through the nvidia, but no matter what you do, the Intel comes between the nvidia and the monitor. The integrated connects to your monitors, except in some possible higher speed external connections.
I have the same issues other are reporting about nullsec systems not loading or causing a crash. Even if a crash isn’t caused, the systems are still extremely sluggish initially, like they’re taking abnormally long to load up or something.
A fun wrinkle: only sov null is wonky. NPC null seems to be just fine (as is j-space, Pochven, and HS/LS).
This makes sov null extremely frustrating to play in at best, and impossible at worst. Busy sov null systems almost invariably cause a client freeze or a full system lock (for instance, even just transitioning from View inside to View outside in a structure in MJ-5F9 will bork the client or the whole machine in ~50 seconds).

This is off topic, I guess, but did everyone get an 8GB update for EVE client today or am I special ?
didn’t play EVE for a week and after taking a stargate client’s crashed and now windows is like this:
yes, my video drivers are updated and everything
Well, I finally upgraded: I went from playing in potato mode in DX11 with the IGPU of an i5 6600 with 8GB DDR4 @2133mhz and experiencing those horrible FPS drops when undocking or jumping, to playing in DX12 high with the IGPU of an 8600G 16GB DDR5 @4800mhz. There’re still FPS drops, but from 60 to 30 or something like that, I can play again.
I’m still using my old SSD, with the same updated Windows 10 and EVE installation.

Ive been seeing dramatically increased vram usage leading to stuttering when my system falls back onto shared vram when my dedicated vram fills up.
The stutters happen when the amount of shared vram changes. Additionally the vram usage doesnt go down when leaving a busy grid, requiring a restart to avoid heavy stuttering.
Ive tried latest nvidia drivers and i have tried rolling back to the driver version from last December that a few other games recommend for better stability with no luck.
DX11 vram usage is better than DX12 by a large margin so stuttering is just as bad on DX12.
I used to be able to run 24 clients on minimum graphics with no stuttering, post-patch im able to do around 13-14 max before i start getting heavy stuttering. and idk if its helpful but ill reiterate, the stutters line up to when the Shared GPU Memory value in taskmanager changes.
I dont mind doing any amount of testing to help resolve this issue, would be nice to get an experimental ultra low settings especially since getting more vram is incredibly expensive at the moment

So, on Sunday I installed Avast antivirus just for turning off the Windows Defender, I noticed that EVE makes the Defender work too much. After installing Avast then I simply turned off all protections and Defender was not running anymore. The result is that I didn’t crash anymore for now, this is the second day of testing. Maybe Windows Defender thinks that EVE is a virus?

maybe it is?
On our PC, Sophos also recognized it as a virus.

third day of testing without Windows Defender, it felt fine until I jumped a stargate and then:
what i that? is this an infinite loop somehwere?
It always happens when you jump a stargate or dock or enter wormhole enter the abyss… a sudden change makes eve explode in RAM and if you dont have enough (not a problem for most single eve users) then the graphic glitches starts to happen and it mega lags is totally unplayable until you restart it. sad how CCP fk it up and totally wont give us a single hope for fixing it or even show a sign of doing so.

Hardly surprising, opening the Fitting Window in a T3C also freezes the client. CCP is still refusing to acknowlege the issue?

I went on a Loki fleet the other day.
Step 1: grab the right loki. Check fit, but game freezes. I probably need the other loki, game freezes. I swap links, game freezes.
I finally undock, warp to other lokis, zoom in to see the other ships, game freezes. I zoom out again, nothing bad, but when I try to see the layout of the other ships (also Lokis) to see if I’ve got the right config, the game yet again freezes. Every time I zoom out and in again the game freezes.
Fix this issue, CCP. It’s unplayably bad.

You would think that you players who are having this issue would have sorted it out amongst yourselves by now, because there are thousands of other players who aren’t having any issues at all. There has to be a common denominator among you, whether it’s the OS, DirectX version, video card type, drivers, settings, etc…
Well, you are technically right that not all players are expiriencing these issues. However, there was around 0 responce from CCP for the past month, and judging by the actual PC specs of affected users - this is a software issue not a hardware issue.
From my view, there are 2 options. Either CCP doesn’t care or devs are simply dont have a clue of which part a of a code was 'uked up.
