Ok, I'm ready to give up. And I don't really want to follow the try-this-try-that anymore. The devs either make something available that someone can follow who has no clue how to code or please tell us we are not wanted anymore. I pay RL money to play the game and it hasn't been working for weeks.

What I have seen so far is really a sad affair.

And communication is lacking to put it mildly.

Please, just be frank and tell us Mac user to get lost.

CCP: I noticed that the launcher is quite capable of launching instance after instance of the client, allowing multiple accounts running at once without need of multiple installs or clones. But even though the launcher can do this, is it the recommended way to multiple accounts? Or should I use the clone maker?

I hope so, because this is currently the only way I can launch more than one client.

The new update seems to have made a stab at loading profile pictures. It's not entirely successful, but it's better--sort of like blowing away my preferences on launch, except that I didn't have to blow away my preferences.

Otherwise, the recent patch worked well for me: I can turn some of the effects up to Medium without the client freezing. The new -44 pixel resolutions are pure win (though I haven't tried to copy or paste with keyboard shortcuts yet, so there's that). FPS has improved in space and in station. The mirror on the entrance to Character Customization almost works--it used to be black, so this is an improvement. It's having trouble with hair, though. I'll post videos of weird CQ behavior as soon as I set up a way to capture in-game video.

I must be the only player who hasn't had any issues with this patch. It installed first time without hitches and while it used to run at 20fps in a safespot (that is, somewhere with nothing around) on the lowest settings, I've got everything except shadows and anti-aliasing maxed (both of which are off) and I'm still getting 40fps+ during even a mission! This is a 13" MBP (2011 model) with only an intel 3000 card in it that I'm talking about...

I don't know what you've changed but it's made a huge difference for me!

A fix for this issue is ready, however I don't know if it is going to be included in tomorrows patch at this time.



If this fix is ready... any idea when it will be applied ????????????

Don't want to switch my OS language to run an always broken game...

But the fitting window. Where the render of the ship is.
I get some graphics 'glitches'.

Spin the ship render around, and if the ship passes over the noise it redraws it correctly.

todays Inferno patch has crippled ability to run multiple clients for me.

Each time the patch applies, i navigate to update preference location.
upon restart of client, it reapplies patch - therby removing changes to the info.plist.
Esentially I'm stuck with multiple clients, but can only run one instance (and they won't honor the changes to pref file as they did yesterday)

Any tips???

Exactly same issue here. Today's patch has broken multiple client support for me.

Has anyone gotten anything to work since it was broken? Is anyone else getting the feeling we're being ignored? Heck just a simple we're working on something (insert Info) would be good

I am stuck applying a patch. The name?
EVE_Online_365966-365966_mac.patch

A patch from itself to itself. The Launcher applies the patch. I change the eve prefs folder name in the (buried) info.plist. and when i start up the Launcher...it applies the patch again.

Yo CCP! When your patch filename goes from and to the same number, it's a hint you screwed up!

I can't even run Eve now.

Launch the "launcher" then before clicking on PLAY... go change the info.plist then click on PLAY... worked for me after several tries... once again thanks CCP.

Ah, by the way... the funniest thing... you have to do it at every launch.... if you leave Eve and come back... you have to re-do...




And guess what... the separators problem is still there..... I'M BORED !!!!!!! so actually, I have 10 ISK in Wallet, there are 30 players in EvE etc...

I will claim a salary as a beta tester... oh no, i'm stupid enough to pay to test....

None of them test their "updates" before implement it ??????????????????

Thanks for the workaround Amphetamine Toxine! +1

CCP, I know you mean well with these patches but ... seriously? My OS crashed 3 times trying to launch the Eve client after this patch. I'm very disappointed, no cookiee for you! P

Hello,

I started eve this morning and it started autopatching to a 367569 version of the client. I get the incompatible protocol on the status so I cant log in. Any ideas of why? I also dont have the option to repair in the setting menu of the launcher..I have macbook pro with 2.5ghz intel core duo i7. 8gb ram with 10.7.3 for lion version.

Thanks.

My client has been working with very few "game freezes up, music skips and mouse cursor still moves" crashes recently (the bug that was introduced almost exactly five months ago now with Crucible and has still not been fixed); but latest few patches it's gotten exponentially worse. Yesterday I gave up playing twice; I got anywhere from 2-5 crashes per hour doing anything from sitting the in station to jumping through stargates to killing rats in missions.
