Thanks

So... is the problem back or was there never a fix. A couple weeks back I was able to scan normally again. Then corp deployed for PVP and now, 2 weeks later, I'm back hunting sites, i can't see the friggin probes again :(

Dual core 2,8Mhz

since today i see no more probes, i logged in after DT and everything was still ok. I logged off for a few hours and came back online,... and then the problem occurred.
I didn't update or change any settings during my logged of time.

Is someone working on this problem? I see its been a bug for some time now. Hope it gets resolved soon.
Its no fun flying thru wh space like this.

I see this announcement:

PROBE SCANNING IMPROVEMENTS IN ODYSSEY 1.1
http://community.eveonline.com/news/dev-blogs/probe-scanning-iteration/

I just want to be able to see the probes.

The spheres were back for me yesterday while I was scanning about.

Hope it sticks!

Edit: Aaaand. They're gone.

Has anyone with 10.8.x checked out Sisi to see if it got fixed?

I asked about this issue in the 1.1 thread that mentioned scanning improvements, and a Dev said it was a Cider issue. But no new information on a fix was forthcoming.

This is ridiculous, it's months since Odyssey came out, 1.1 is due next week and STILL NO FIX.

It works in Wine on the mac (but Wine is much harder to setup for non-techies)

But the point is, if it works in Wine, it shouldn't be that hard for TransGaming to figure out what changed in their code - at least not 2 months worth of waiting and only 1 dev comment in that time.

But we all know why - cos CCP don't give a crap about Mac, it's such a small market share why would they?

I predict the end of a supported Mac client in the same way the Linux client disappeared - it all just seems to hard for them for not enough return.

Cry Same here just join eve online and did the 2 week trial first. Saw sphere first time I did training a few days in trial like 3 weeks ago. I have not seen them since. I somehow manage to resize sphere by scanning and positioning cursor where I could see them during scanning (Kind of cumbersome and take practice but somewhat feasible). Overall this is very frustrating. Did take a 3 months membership but not planning to renew if this does not get resolved.

I had spheres yesterday, they're gone again today...

*sigh*

As previously mentioned, they work fine under WINE - no dice under Cider.

Not fixed for me.

And did anyone notice that they apparently helped 2 people who were having a slow down in their client? Where is CCP Sledgehammer when you need him? There are a lot of us in here and this is a really long-standing problem.

It was in the this week in Eve Issue #11. Here is the thread:

I suppose my posting here is redundant at this point, but another +1 that I have this problem. Been monitoring this thread for a while.

Looking forward to a CCP solution, and thanks to the team that is working on this. Anxious though, this makes WH life completely unlivable unless I depend completely on corp bookmarks... which doesn't work when I'm alone!

I got bored of waiting.

Download MacPorts, install wine-devel, install Eve Online Windows version

Winning...

Frame rate is better, works flawlessly (except CQ, but who cares about that anyway?) and launcher doesn't display graphics properly, but does let you log in and patch properly.

And apparently there's some big performance changes coming to D3D in Wine soon which will make it run even better hopefully (unless it breaks it totally - lol).

Anyway, I can see scanning spheres properly under Wine and the performance is better. Bye Mac Client, it wasn't nice knowing you :)

I borrowed a computer with 10.8 on it and now get this bug. Its no fun. I did figure out how to scan without the blue spheres, but its a pain. It will be nice to get home and get my usual computer back...unless IT put 10.8 on it in my absence.

CCP: any word on the fix?

Try running a few anoms before trying to launch probes for the first time. I find doing 2 or 3 first means the probes will then show up.

This is insane that there still is not a fix for this. I have lost so much in wh fuel costs and so forth not being able to scan. Keep mind, this is not a rant after even just 1 month of the issue. There have got be work arounds, like probes that scan 100% but take a lot longer, using the red "partial" find visual effect and so forth. CCP, you spent our game leads, isk and real world money and its profoundly disappointing that we're into month 4 ish of this problem?
