I bought a really nice graphics card and can run 3 simultaneous instances of EVE on the highest quality graphics, but for some reason I'm not seeing my ship shields and beam weapons on the Crystalline Entity PVE, and it seems perhaps they blink on a couple more PVEs.

I've tried lowering the graphics quality in the game with no real improvement. Sometimes I do see my beams fire in CE, but usually after the entity releases energy and kills a few players.

What am I doing wrong here? I have a very nice computer with 3.6 gHz 8 core processor and 16 GB of ram. Graphics card is Nvidia GeForce GTX 770.

Are other people experiencing the same problems? Strangely, I can usually see the beams from my pets and some from other players.

I've also experimented with the game's graphics settings, changing from DX 9 to 11, but found the best overall performance with the "auto" setting.

    Thats a commun problem. Especially in crowded areas (Like the CE usually and naturally is).
    Don't know which graphic setting exactly is causing the problem. I had that solved before season 9, but with the graphic revamp... I still don't really know how to get my old performance back^^

    Haha. Good to know it's not me. Perhaps things will be fixed soon enough. :cool:

    Unless it's changed, the graphical settings has slider bars for number of items/particles/etc. Meaning (in my mind) even if you have an awesome computer, the game itself has a limit to how many things it can show.
