So, the recent patch has been a bit FUBAR to say the least. Seems to have introduced more bugs than it solved. I just want to share one that got me killed tonight, and see if anyone else has any other nasty ones that they have found. So - it seems EVE sometimes sets the ALT and/or CTRL keys "sticky" in place - so one or the other (or both) randomly seem to activate. This really stuffed my chances in a fight tonight due to doing silly things like looking at and locking up the gate initially instead of re-approaching and orbitting. The first 5 seconds count for a lot in a frig hull duel - and TBH those bugs cost me a loss. What other bugs have people found? And BTW - this isn't a "bitching" thread - it's a request for people to share experience so we can all be better prepared, but also a reminder to SUBMIT THOSE BUG REPORTS!!!

Yes, the sticky key thing is damn annoying... but it's not gotten me in trouble yet. It has cost me some kills, though. I think as long as you're aware of the issue you should be fine... probably. Another problem I keep having is brackets resetting to "no brackets" on every single session change. I have to alt-z after going through gates to get my brackets showing again. Also more annoying than dangerous, as the overview still shows hostiles on grid.

Brackets seem to turn on and off with targeting locks, and worse, I can't stop locking gates : P

I'm also experiencing what you've described, additionally I'm currently having difficulty just clicking on things while in space as the mouse will skip up to 4inchs away when I click on it. Then there's the times my game completely freezes when using the side bar UI. Fortunately I've not yet lost any ships due to these Issues, although was close last night. I read in an Eve-O thread that clearing cache would help. I've cleared cache, did nothing for me, still having issues.

Dealing out the Agony within
Charging hard and no one's gonna give in
Living on your knees, conformity
Or dying on your feet for honesty
Inbred, our bodies work as one
Bloody, but never cry submission
Following our instinct not a trend
Go against the grain until the end

It's a pain isnt it. I was experimenting with the hold control to lock targets and it seems as though the hold key delay hasnt been set long enough by CCP is one part of the glitch, the time difference between pressing control and left clicking to lock a target and holding control to make the left click to lock sticky is very minimal so much so i couldnt really time the difference acurately but its only about a second or 2 different. The other being after holding control to sticky up "Lock Targets" it then wouldnt turn off until i restarted the Eve client.

I read that rolling back the UI update will help, but haven't tried that yet.

Then you get into that whole inbred thing. Kids with no teeth who do nothing but play the banjo... eat apple sauce through a straw... pork farm animals.

found an eve-o forums thread with a dev stating that at least the sticky-CTRL-key (hopefully ALT as well) thing is a known issue and will get fixed. No word when that will be though.

It's not just CTRL, but AFAIK all those hotkeys (for me), e.g. orbititing can get stuck as well.

Yes - this is a pain in the ass - i too also lost my session timer clock - I even checked and unchecked in escape menu and relogged but to no avail - and then lo and behold, it came back without doing anything!!!

the most evil thing about the session change clock is that they MOVED it! i almost got myself killed because of that :( also it was bugged a few times, saw it count down from 3 2 1 ... vanish, tried to redock "meeep, wait 10seconds" wtf :|

I can't tell you how many times I locked up a gate yesterday in my scimi and taranis. Luckily, I didn't aggress any gates yet, but I know it's going to happen soon.

highly annoying bug that got "fixed" in one of the client patches but is definitely still around. Makes de-cloaking a bitch.

I have run into most of these issues on Friday while camping some bubbles. drove me up the wall. fortunately didn't get me killed... However it did make me decide to sit out of eve (or at least anything more expensive then a t1 frigate) until CCP fixes it.

I have a whole list of issues, including: - sticky keys (as described) - bracket settings resetting with each session change - overview containing dead / disappeared stuff but then greyed out (when a cyno goes down, it stays on overview, same for dead ship, or ship that warped off) - overview sorting getting messed up each time, so I have to resort overview every time I warp. - on one occasion, my overview was missing (hostile) ships that were shown as brackets in space (after manually switching on brackets of course) I'm not playing until this gets fixed, because it's doing my head in.

The thing I found weird - when I was playing on my gaming rig in Aberdeen it was sweet as a nut - no issues whatsoever. Then I go home, and play on my "regular" PC, and there are loads of bugs. And it's not cache or settings folder related, as I always clear my cache before starting a play session, and copy settings folders between PC's - so they are (to all intents and purposes in terms of software) completely identical installs...

@Granger: There seem to be a lot of issues related to local files on the client that are tied to character and account that perhaps don't get wiped by a 'clear cahce' button in the client and get stored in different directories, because that is the only way I could explain the difference you just mentioned. I cannot image bugs like these caused by different hardware or even operating system, because they seem to be so high up in the 'business logic' layer instead of a graphics glitch on a low level.

We've also noticed a couple of times when ships are missing from the overview and it is not related to a messed up grid (you can see the ship in space, but not on the overview). It also has not been a result of overview filters. After docking/undocking the ship became visible. This has only happened a couple of times so far.

@ Dutch - I never use the clear cache button, I always do it manually @ Goodvibes - both are NVidia, and both have latest drivers

Doesn't manually clearing your cache remove all bookmark folders etc.?

There's a diff between clearing the cache and all settings. Settings contain the bookmark folders, window setups etc.
