hi,
I noticed there is mass tests today and as usual i was not prepared to meet the announced hour. However i read that there would be additional new features to test - "on demand download". I have not logged in SISI since couple of months so my test config was not updated since ages ago. Here is my experience:
1. I started the launcher (it is hopefully completely separate copy of EVE client) and it got updated to v.2.2.867066.
2. After restart i was asked for activation of download on demand cache activation and i selected "no" as instructed by appropriate notice from almighty Devs
3. Client get updated by some 500-700 MB update
4. I set the "download" settings as advised on same Dev's notice and selected some folder (not the standard one) . Also checked the box saying "Download all resource files" . After confirmation i restarted the launcher and waited till another 12 GB download completes.
5. Started the client and enjoyed lack of ships 9mine, NPC's etc.) , Command buttons and "Speed dial" ring with commands. Also textures from within station were quite awful. HUD with speed and Shield/armor/Struct HP was in some strange state showing no indication for speed, but overheating gauges were in middle position.

Say if some tests should be done with such screwed client or i can go ahead and try to fix it by brute force :)

Dump your current Cache - Be sure to purge the proper AppData folder.
