Since the last update? I keep getting this bug where the system doesn’t load, and it’s just a really hideously flashing blob in the middle of the screen, incredibly bright/pulsating. Needs a complete reboot to fix it, sometimes it persists through jumps. It’s so bad it would pose a legit risk to epilepsy suffers perhaps, I can barely look at the screen when it does it. Very annoying either way. Anyone else? ---

I don’t experience this (on a Mac), but if you go to this thread I’ve linked below, and look through the posts for the last couple of days you’ll find reports of something similar: > [@Version 24.01 - Cradle of War - General Feedback](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/version-24-01-cradle-of-war-general-feedback/512907/759): > > While the bug is annoying, this picture actually looks really dope. open_mouth Looking at all these glitches and thinking about Control Resonant, which I am playing atm, I cannot shake the feeling that CCP is taking the wrong lessons from this game into EVE. I guess we are all experiencing CCP’s definition of “You don’t see anything” with these background changes. Bodes really well for their full-scale refactoring into Python 3 and whatnot else. ---

Yeah, I had the same thing happen earlier today… Even though I’ve seen reports of the issue over the past few days, today was my first time actually experiencing it… At first I thought the issue was centered on the sun but I couldn’t rotate the screen, luckily my Overview and Selected Item box was still visible so I just clicked on a station and docked… Needless to say the onscreen view didn’t change until the session change placed me inside the station… After that, I cleared all cache files in Esc menu / Reset Settings tab and did a relog… I then Verified Game Files and Removed Unused Files in the Launcher… After relogging, I didn’t experience the issue again… Course I didn’t stay logged into the game very long… Hopefully that issue doesn’t happen again… DMC o7 ---

I had this the other day, or what sounds like it. I clicked on something else in my overview and hit C to point the camera at it. As the view moved, I realised that I had been staring at the inside of the gate.
