Incorrect. It's only the data files that are placed in this location meaning anyone logging in with a different account will end up having their own preferences created. The application though, assumming you placed the application in Applications folder, will be accessible to everyone.

My Beta Map is empty. I sent in a bug report.

New login bar animation is too bad. Return old style.

Hi Henry,

You can set the cache location in the Launcher's settings: Cog in top right of launcher > Download tab > Shared Cache Location.

You can then copy the contents of your old shared Cache into that to save on downloading updates again.

Well, I seem to be having a strange issue. Since Scylla hit, my launcher will hit 5% patch, go to 0%, then up to 10% and drop back down to 0% with nothing after that for even half an hour or more.

The last two days I've downloaded a clean install once a day, and can get online after that. It's just after downtime and a new update comes out that it refuses to work. So I'm assuming that it has to do with either the new download system, or how my computer is trying to handle it.

I can't seem to change the download location inside the launcher settings, the navigation is greyed out and not modifiable.

My set up is on an separate hard drive, so I don't know if that is an issue.

EDIT: Looking around the forum and found this: Is there a way to do this on the mac?

Thanks, Arthur.

I hadn't heard of that Stargate issue before, I'll have a rummage through our Bug Reports and see if I can find it. About the "white screen of death", this is a known issue that we've been able to pin on something going on in Medium/Low shader settings. We've never seen this on High, we are investigating though.

Best,

Sledge.

Last night I had a similar experience with in-space graphics items not showing. I was running three clients, mining, and doing some web browsing with FireFox. One client locked up ( not too uncommon if you run 3 clients and web browse). Oddly, it eventually reported an exception and a cider run-time error. (It use to just stay locked up forever. CCP, did you do something? Something that will help you figure out these lock-ups?) I let the crash reporter do its thing.

I re-logged the crashed client. Later I warped everyone to a POS. One client could not see the tower, or any POS modules or the force field bubble. They showed on the overview, and the brackets in space showed, but none of the graphic elements. I decided enough is enough, quit all the clients, re-started the computer, and logged everyone back in.

Except the "Shared Cache Location" is greyed out and you can't change the location.

You can move the application folder and soft-link back to the Library, but I'm not sure that is a good long term solution. It seems to be enough to let me run the resource cache conversion.

Its now April 1st and its no April fools joke.

The clonemaker still wont work on my Mac. I am told its broken the same as I have been for the last week or more.

Why the @#$%^&*() hell hasn't it been fixed

Make that two. The only way I could get Clonemaker to run without the "broken" message was to disable the security settings by changing it to "Allow apps downloaded from: Anywhere". The old Clonemaker only required validation once and allowed me to retain the preferred security settings of "Mac App Store and Identified developers". OS X Yosemite 10.10.2.

Somewhat related, but this now marks the second testing cycle where the EVE SiSi Mac client is pooched (despite a clean install, again). It's to the point where I'm asking myself why bother, since I can't provide any feedback - or by the time I can provide anything it's so late in the testing cycle that there's really not anything that can be done about it. Then I wait for the inevitable Mac performance and stability issues to crop up with the next client release to basically report them here.

So here is about the only valid Mac feedback I can provide. I had five (5) active subscriber accounts. Not through PLEX, mind you - but prepaid subscriptions. I cancelled two late last year and have set another two to expire when the prepaid allotment runs out later this year. I will not be renewing any of those or making use of the EVE Clonemaker at this point, as the Mac EVE client is just to unstable (let alone when you introduce multiple clients). I used PLEX on my main (last) account to keep it active until Dec-2015, at which point if there isn't any Yosemite support, client stability and improved graphics options ("High" shader setting) - I'm calling it a day and writing off my several year investment in EVE.

It sucks being a second-tier citizen in EVE. As a Mac user, we rarely get to see any the benefit of any performance aspects - and a lot of us are missing out on a considerable degree of graphic and audio improvements (I'm limited to a "Medium" shader setting and have had to effectively disable all my music and audio just to get a limited degree of stability).

There's a subtle irony in the fact that what attracted me to EVE in the first place (Mac client) is now the same thing that will probably kill my interest in this game (instability of same Mac client). I suspect I'm far from the only Mac owner in this predicament, but at this point I'm really drawing a blank on what else I can do.
