Horrific Performance Issues

Hello there,

Firstly, thank you for taking the time to do this. I'm new here, so I don't want my first post to be so negative, but...

When i run Eve, I'm averaging 59-64 FPS, usually hovering around 61-62 (this includes having ISXEVE running). The second I start EveBot (type the "run" command), this plumits to 0.5-2 FPS, hovering around the 1 FPS mark. The game becomes completely unusable. It's not lack of resources, my machine, whilst by no means 'top spec' anymore, isn't even using half it's RAM / CPU at any time whilst the programs are running. There are a hundred and one configuration issues I have with the bot too, but frankly I could probably work them out myself if performance wasn't this bad. It isn't worth me trying though unless I can find a way to make this run better.

Is there some setting / change I'm not aware of? Something I haven't done correctly?

Also, the down arrow for the log on the UI is an empty black square, it doesn't display.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi

My normal FPS is about 30 dropping to maybe 10-15 with EVEBot running so there must be something wrong with your setup to get such a drastic drop.

First question: Are you running the 'trunk/dev' version? That has much worse performance.

Check the instructions on 'How to get EVEBot' here: http://eve.isxgames.com/wiki/index.php?title=EVEBot_for_Dummies and make sure you've got the 'Stable' version from SVN

Second question - which mode are you using and what settings have you got? You can post the contents of the 'Your Character Name.xml' file from the EVEBot/Config folder for someone to review if need be - just make sure to sanitise it first.

>Also, the down arrow for the log on the UI is an empty black square, it doesn't display
It's a 'feature'. You can still scroll up and down by dragging the slider but it's also possoible to read the log files from the config/logs folder

This is odd, on mine it's an actual station:

<Setting Name="Home Station">1</Setting>

It's possible the various drone settings are odd:

<Setting Name="Drones In Bay">0</Setting>
<Setting Name="MinimumDronesInSpace">5</Setting>

Thes contradict each other.

I've never used the whitelist setting but you could try turning that off:

<Setting Name="Use Whitelist">TRUE</Setting>

Your combat settings are also not default. Basically if it were me I'd delete the config file and start over from default settings. I'm guessing that there's two settings in there that contradict each other and cause EVEBot to go into a loop where it's reading game data and that's what's slowing you down.
