Slow fonts rendering in EVE Online

3d works fine and fast, but fonts rendering is very slow, it takes 3-5 seconds to open any menu or message. I'v tried to add fontssmothing in user.reg but it's done nothing.

gentoo x86 , wine-1.1.44, nvidia-drivers-190.42-r3, GeForce 8400M GS

[Software\\Wine\\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"MaxFragmentUniforms"="1024"
"MaxVaryings"="52"
"MaxVertexUniforms"="1024"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"VertexShaderMode"="hardware"
"VideoMemorySize"="256"

Tyrannis has some graphic problems always same crap with new expansion.
What you can try to do is a full clean install of Eve and wait for a couple a days.
I have always the most problems when i just use the update patch.
So i go always for a new clean install of Eve.
Dont forget to backup your setting folder.
After that wait for a new bugfix mostly comes in 1 or 2 days.

I think it's gentoo or my laptop problem, not wine, when checking if I have write-combining enabled, i run

Code: Select all

cat /proc/mtrr

i see line with uncachable string

Code: Select all

reg00: base=0x000000000 (    0MB), size= 2048MB, count=1: write-back
reg01: base=0x080000000 ( 2048MB), size= 1024MB, count=1: write-back
reg02: base=0x0c0000000 ( 3072MB), size=  512MB, count=1: write-back
reg03: base=0x100000000 ( 4096MB), size=  512MB, count=1: write-back
reg04: base=0x0dff00000 ( 3583MB), size=    1MB, count=1: uncachable

now i'm trying to fix this.

PS i asked many people in eve forums and they don't have any problem with 2d.
