[2023] Eve performance getting much worse?

Hey,

Depending on which graphics chip your computer has, then it is indeed possible, that it is just running out of VRAM on such an old computer, which would in turn crash the graphics driver. It is also possible, that some bug is being triggered - either within the EVE client or in the graphics driver.

Please try following things:

• Update your graphics driver
• Verify the resource cache of the client through the launcher (maybe there are corrupt files) and download the full client through the launcher).
• Reduce the graphics settings of the client to minimum and then slowly increase the settings again to see if you can find a problematic setting for your client.
• Try to use outside view for Upwell structures, if the hangar is causing VRAM problems
• Try to monitor the VRAM usage

If everything still looks like it is a bug (quite likely), then please send a bug report from within the client (F12 - Report Bug) and include as many details as possible, so we can take a look.

This is also valid for all other comments in this thread: Bug reports with many details can be very helpful for improving things (unfortunately there is only a limited amount what we can do for really old hardware, but at least on low settings it should work, if it meets the minspec requirements).
