Macintosh

this


also i noticed, that most everytime i click on a link in chat (that is, when the in-game-browser should start) my client freezes and crashes. i have to force quit it. this happened to me at least 3 times yesterday.
afterwards the client can not be started sometimes, unless i go to my terminal, look for the wineserver process and kill it manually.


not a mac specific issue, but: the map...
first i thought the new map looks quite good, and it was promised to be highly performant.
now looking at all those animation/zooming going on everytime i activate the map, it takes ages until you can actually use it for anything. and moreover with the "intertia" applied when moving the map around or zooming in and out, i can't imagine how one should be able use it for any serious scanning.

This is broken. Every time I try to DL and open the clone maker I get this:

“EVE Clonemaker” is damaged and can’t be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

I was able to get it working using a workaround found in another thread:

Running the mac client in windowed mode, I experienced a freeze of the client and had to force quit it. I was just warping to a gate.

I'm missing most of the default jacket choices in character customization, it is down to just two, and I feel like other things might be missing too like a few hairstyles:

Where did they go? I don't remember that in the patch notes.

EDIT: They came back after clearing the cache. Weird glitch though.

One day I'll remember to clear cache BEFORE posting

Does it count as modifying the client to create a symbolic link from the original client's p_drive in application support for each of the clones?

It wold save people from having to import their settings and arrange the layout to how they like it for all of their characters on each of the clones.

From my limited testing, quitting the game works correctly from the clones and the original client when the above changes are applied. Looking at the Activity Monitor this looks to be due to each clone running its own wineserver. I would look closer at what the problem is for fun, but putting in the hooks to step through the client closing would probably fall under the category of modifying the client and I rather like not being banned.

Regardless, if the problem truly is each instance needing its own wineserver this problem should have been resolved a long time ago as the initial wineserver is not started until you click the giant play button on the first account logged on. This means you could have just set the code to make a new wineserver for each account logged on instead of only creating one instance for all the instances to share. Certainly is a more elegant solution then forcing all of your Mac customers do it for you for each account they own (seems reasonable to assume number of clones made = number of accounts a player has - 1).

I'm having issues opening the in-game browser. Started a separate topic thread here.

Thanks for the feedback, we've taken the decision to revert this change, more info found here: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5710624#post5710624

Same problems...And the Launcher does not launch the Accounts after tat freeze!
You always have to restart the computer!

You can also open Activity Monitor and force quit the wineserver process. This allows you to log back in immediately and removes having to hope for the process to stop itself (it does not always end itself).
