I know, Im pointing out its not an issue, its intended
No, the lesson here is not to get invested in them at all.
Thatâs, luckily, not the whole of my experience in EVE in the past. I have been part of a lot of this stuff and nothing has come to this level of asshattery before (and yes, I remember Shiigeru, thanks). The leadup to the Sansha incursions was well done, for example.
Well as long as you enjoyed them thats the main thing.
Im of the opinion this is just the start of much more massive hattery coming soon.
To Whom It May Concern,
I understand that recent events have threatened the wider stargate network with catastrophe and that crisis rightfully received the attention it deserved. However, there appears to be an issue affecting the fluid router network as well. Whether it is related to the formation of the so-called âPochvenâ region can only be left to speculation at this time, though I have my suspicions.
Nonetheless, I formally wish to bring your attention to the issue that the critical text-based communications relays upon which many capsuleersâand undoubtedly, baselinersârely upon have become more difficult to use. The standard communications interface has a dark grey background and the text upon that background now appears as a slightly lighter shade of dark grey. It is as if the written word itself has become camouflaged.
Sample: 
The fatigue upon the eyesâeven augmented onesâincreases with the length and volume of messages, such that lengthy conversations become a chore and they only become more burdensome as the number of participants increases. This fatigue is further compounded with time spent perusing messages and affects Alliance, Corporation, and Fleet communications to name a few critical examples.
I hope that whomever is responsible for restoring the communications relays and fluid routers to full operational effectiveness are aware of this issue and that all resources that can be allocated to them in these trying times have been. If they are unaware, then please consider this open letter sufficient notification. I pray that the issue does not extend itself into the IGS as well.
Sincerely,
Lord Reginald Sakakibara,
Senior Fleet Commander, EDENCOM Defense Initiative

Moved a thread to this Known Issues thread.

I would also like to report the audio issues. I have to turn off ALL audio or the game will randomly freeze.
Buddy logging off? Might or might not result in a few seconds-long freeze. Same goes for jumping through gates, docking/undocking and so on.
Sometimes while sitting in a site and shooting rats the game will freeze.
Any news on a fix for this? Anything I should try on my end?
Thanks in advance,
Rahalla
why would you possibly move an IC thread from the roleplay forum to here when it is clearly a roleplay thread that doesnât belong here?

Only was online a few minutes, but the audio (and client) stuttering is very annoying.
Most here wont know or remember, but i think either the last closed beta release or first open beta one was called âPhoenixâ too ⌠seemed less buggy ⌠18 years ago ⌠goes nostalgic again trying not to think too hard about the timespan
Hi @Aradina_Varren,
Although I do agree with you to some degree, the poster has flagged an issue with the text within the game, therefore, it would be best suited in this thread so it can be captured.

Thank you CCP for enabling to set CCs to not online structures again. Much appreciated.
agreed and bumping.
Iâve counted over half a dozen people responding negatively in the forums who already use glasses who have problems , as well as a dozen people with eyesight problems who have serious issues.
also: the largest font now is smaller than what,the medium / second largest one was before the changes
as well as noted by op - the right click sub menu indeed being stuck on smallest size - a size even smaller than the next to smallest size original font before the change - as far as I can approximate it.
In short - it is making it as painful as possible to click the correct item, not to mention seeing it, for people with mice related -arm/wrist problems, as well as most/many EVE players who are playing EVE for long stretches and also using mice at work, so this sure isnt helping neither the young nor the old
Do the younger guys at CCP even understand at all what awaits all too many of them arm and wrist wise in the future working with mice for a few decades more?
but Iâm guessing âlooking coolâ takes priority over sanity - here as wellâŚ
so yeah, uncle. I give up.
These people are evidently not listening to real concerns at all.
At this point I doubt if they could discern a real issue from a non-issue even.
and for anyone still suggesting buying new hardware etc.
please. dont be ludicrous.
Thereâs no one playing EVE that doesnât have a 1920x1080 screen anymore
Iâd bet youâd be hard pressed to even find or buy new hardware or new laptops with lower dpi than that
But yeah sure Iâm being a big a crybaby here - but this really was over the top unnecessary to force and foist upon us. And it really pissed me off royally for that very reason, as well as making my leisure time that bit worse and more constraining.
I never wanted to feel this negative towards any of the work ccp does, but sadly this decision has.
Removing choices and removing features, names and sounds weâve grown to appreciate is one thing,- as if just annoying people with removing things that had no issues was really necessary for the game in the first place - but actually making it physically harder for older people and people with handicaps/challenges to access and use the game is beyond words.
for real.
Like I said, I never wanted to be a crybaby here like this, but this really made me go ballistic.
Guess I have to be as banal as this: âDonât fix it if it ainât brokeâ
for next time huh?
or rather: please, dear lord, let there be no more next timesâŚ
But sure - have my second vote for the âUnnecessary change of 2020 Awardâ

Anyone else having this? Is CCP kidding us? Do they really think we are here to play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCEtl9CfbAU
Their development quality is getting worse and worse. Now you have to suffer through even more annoyances when you want to compensate for another annoyance. This is great.

Not sure what you are trying to show us.
Maybe click the reddit link and play the video in that topic? Itâs pretty obvious whatâs going on there.
Would like to know why before I click the video. It may not be of no interest to me or it might - give me a clue before I invest my time.

You wasted your time with writing this question and then waiting for my response instead of clicking the link and watching a 15 second video. you sure you know what you are doing?

Do something with the font size in the context menu !!! It should be bigger !!! Impossible to play !!! And if it is impossible to play, then there will be no opportunity to donate to you. If you donât do it right, then Iâll have to stop playing. My eyesight is much more valuable than your game.

I have noticed since the patch that now and then L4 Distribution agents randomly after downtime give you 1 L4 mission, then decide for the rest of that day to give you L1 Missions. it seems to be random, but it forces me to go around and check all the agents to find one that hasnât been screwed for the day. Today is the first time that they have all been screwed for the corp I am trying to get Rep with, in talking with others though it doesnât seem to be limited to this corp, it seems to be a common thing.
Surely this wasnât intended? itâs not in the patch notes thatâs for sure.
You mean this font - where the font is only just readable but way too small and the line-height makes it really difficult to track across to select a nested option
Edit : They crammed in 7 line items into the space that used to hold 5
