Hope that CCP could compensate by PLEX or other for the fact of not being able to play ??

So, is this a scheduled or unscheduled emergency downtime? And the way the game was running was there even a point to the 5 minute warning?

Yes, it's a scheduled emergency downtime.

I would have to agree with this one. At most, EVE uses 786mb/client on max graphics and on 1080P while sharing system RAM with my dedicated Radeon HD 8970. I can run 6 clients effectively before needing to turn down graphics.

Windows 8 is a severe memory and CPU hog however, so its possible that trying to multibox on that particular OS might be more resource intensive. It is, after all, not an OS designed for Gamers.

If you have a quad or 8 core processor, try setting affinity for each exefile.exe process to have 2 cores each. So if you're running 8 clients, set core 0 and 1 to client 1 and 2, core 2 and 3 to client 3 and 4, and so on. EVE can run on a dual core no problem.


Or you could use ISBoxer, it's really good at giving you a suggested CPU setup for multiboxing...

Should use it anyway, I cannot imagine how you play this game with more than two or three accounts without it without going completely insane...

power issues sounds like an outside problem. how are your techs working on it this is confusing. beside that i love how vague CCP always is when there is a problem. a quote from CCP "it is broken and we are working on it" not lightning hit the building and we are making sure that the server is ok.


Could be possible they're rerouting power. I was in the middle of patching on my amazing 14kb/s net when the news popped up on the launcher, still completed the patching so there isn't any problems there, so they might just reroute racks to that server.



hahaha you re so funny :D

Let's just hope you can make those electron transfer arrays working again. And if you need to rush to the local electronics store, please just ask for power cords. It's so much more convenient using proper names. Blink

Yes, I demand at least two PLEX for not being able to play for an hour!
