Can someone please explain how an update for facial hair (aka: “Neck beard 2.0”) takes priority over addressing the “EVE Evolved” CPU/GPU shortcomings?

Everything else should be on hold until this update is either reversed or fixed. It’s completely unfair to ask MacOS users to wait another 6+ months for this to be addressed (as happened the last time there was a major issue with the MacOS chipset).

A simple git revert would resolve this, but the tech team just refused to admit that they are poor at porgramming, and they do not deserve what they got paid. :slight_smile:

Disrespecting devs will not expedite fixes. I’d even assume it will only put it on less priority. Human nature.

My understanding of this post is that they are not only fixing beards but some other issues as well. Although would be nice to have this info in more consistent manner, not some random Reddit comment wink wink

True.

What can prompt action is if a large enough chunk of the player base does any, or a combination of, the following:

Logs off and stays logged off in protest until it is fixed.

Cancels subscriptions and/or stops buying IAPs.

Takes to social media to complain (outside of this forum).

you ■■■■■■■ halfwit…worthless shits havent done a thing to fix it in 2 updates, go troll elsewhere you loser.

generally first undock after the login is the worst, anything can happen, crushes, freezes, blackscreens. Screen blinks several times, may result in permanent performance degradation almost to a halt until restarted.
Jumping through a gate also may result in similar conditions

Maybe it is not an issue of programming, but of testing. It works on some hardware and software but not on all. Issues are reported on Mac, Linux and Windows. So there should be a high chance of catching this during testing and give it back to development for changing until it works again.

Possible causes can be budget related severe cuts in testing, rendering it ineffective to catch these issues or a bad testing strategy or both.

Anyway i would suspect those issues to be addressed with the highest priority as customers unable to play the game will have direct impact on revenue.

Many people commented on discords and ingame that they were suffering random client crashes, the client simply closes without any error message

@CCP_Caffeine Judging by the links on Reddit, you actively discuss issues there, but for some reason, there is no follow-up or feedback in this thread. Could you let us know if you were able to reproduce the problem? Do you need any assistance if you couldn’t? I’m ready to provide crash dumps, record logs using loglite, or assist in any other way. When can we expect the issue to be resolved? In addition to all the problems mentioned above, there is also an FPS drop when playing with multiple windows.

We’ve had this issue for years.

It’s almost as if they have a collective attitude of post anywhere but here :frowning:

i am experiencing the same problems. i even turned down the graphics settings, same ■■■■.

when checking the load on my system, it appears fine, maybe the RAM is a bit more used than before, but not critically.

undocking is a pain in the ass, jumping into a new system is a pain in the ass. sometimes my clients just crash and freeze. it takes like 20 seconds or more sometimes, for the game to load a new system, when undocking or jumping. i have not had these problems before.
also, it should be optional to use more of the GPU. with my system for example, running three accounts, my GPU is at 60% or more, while my CPU is at 20%.

this crashing and lagging makes the game totally not enjoyable. i am getting a headache when thinking of running errands, where i have to dock and undock several times, including a couple jumps maybe. this is just absolutely frustrating

this ‘‘performance’’ update was total ■■■■■■■■. reverse that please.

On it

it is what it is, sugar coating the situation doesn’t help ether. If the feeling of the customer base genuine let devs know

I have played EVE since 2009 and not once during all this time have I seen devs or anybody else from CCP react to something players have said. Negative or positive. And there is a contingent of players who have always been disrespectful (sometimes understandably so) and thrown a hissy fit even in cases like downtime being extended by mere 10 minutes.

No reaction from CCP in such cases is absolutely the right response. I don’t think they care either way, whether they get insults hurled at them or accolades (the suck-ups are just as ridiculous as those on the other end). They just do things at their own pace and discretion.

At least we can be sure it isn’t citoyen Trump running this game. It would be much much worse then.

The billboard craziness sometimes crashes my client. If those graphics hit at just the right angle it ends up in catastrophic failure of my client for some reason. I think I’ve had it happen 3 times. I try to be max zoomed out whenever I’m in the vicinity of gates, although even that doesn’t always prevent billboard madness.

I would like to add the common bug of Crashes when undocking from stations. or launching drones when multiboxing. Its not my pc CCP its you it always as been you. fix your god damn game and stop with the bullshittery please for the love of ■■■■■■■ god.

Sincerely your money making customers.
