Undocking Lag / Shuttering

As of about a month ago, every time I undock in our Home Hole (Wormhole Space), I lag for up to 30 seconds. I have my graphics down to Potato Mode. Everything is up to date. I am not sure wtf is going on. My FPS drops to under 1 for up to 30 seconds, the client sometimes turns white and says “not responding”.

I have done a lot of research, and so far nothing has helped! Can someone please help??

Everything is lagged all over the place. Not that it’s any consolation, though… I find that when I get a really bad frame rate the only recourse is to quit any client(s), quit the EVE application and restart.

*Addendum: Case in-point, one of my clients just crashed - and on re-login I’m getting 2-3 FPS (the other 2 clients are just fine at 30-40 FPS). Go figure…

I don’t have FPS issues, but there is lots of rubber-banding lately (particularly pronounced in the last few days) as well as noticeable and considerable lag for all kinds of activities like cloaking after gate cloak, module activation, moving modules around when fitting, starting hacks, taking gates and so on.

Go to the launcher, settings, change the graphics driver from DirectX 12 to DirectX 11.

Second this. A lot of my issues wwnt away after doing this and I was once again able to see mining lasers, missiles in flight etc that had inexplicably disappeared and I hadn’t noticed until they came back.

This game is getting technically worse in time. I mean seriously… Launcher is not storing session/token data properly. I have to constantly remove and re add my accounts. Yes I’m ticking the check on login screen. When client finally starts there is like 3 seconds delay on character screen. If this is supposed to work like that than maybe showing a loading screen to the user would be more user friendly, I don’t know … New added features like stations interior, Fw system, Upgraded SOV are causing fps drops. I could add a few more…

In the launcher settings (under the Launcher sub-menu), there’s a Client startup delay (this may be set to something other than 0).
