Hmm, has anyone else noticed that the engine sound is subdued. Not the comforting roar it was.

Patch notes for EVE Online: Rubicon 1.1.2
Released on Wednesday, January 30th 2014


FIXES

Modules

Fixed an issue that prevented overloading some module while warping.

UI

The Insurance Terms window will now show the correct time left on current insurance (if a ship has one).




SO WHAT ABOUT THE GAME CRASHING CONSTANTLY?
THIS IS NOW THREE (3) DAYS THAT THIS GAME HAS BEEN TOTALLY UNPLAYABLE.
DX9 WORKAROUND IS EXACTLY THAT. A WORKAROUND.

YOU DESPERATELY NEED TO FIX THIS!!

Devs have been VERY quiet on this topic.

I'm now after 72 hours of free game time. THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO TREAT YOUR PLAYERS. Next time you release a patch WHY DON'T YOU MAKE SURE IT WORKS PROPERLY FIRST.

CCP - YOU ARE AN EMBARRASMENT TO THIS INDUSTRY.

(now I start sending petitions every 10 minutes)

umad bro? I'm quite sure you don't even notice the difference between DX9 and DX11, because there is none at the moment. So don't get you knickers in a twist, keep calm and carry on.

I'm running AMD cards, and I have no issues whatsoever no matter how many clients I start. Apparently it's a little harder than just some weird generic bug or all AMD users would ve had issue right?

Before you start accusing CCP of being an embarrasment to the industry, try to name some developers that come even close to what CCP did with Eve...

It can be better, sure, but your reaction is just completely missing its mark.

AMD here, R9 280X, catalyst 13.12 and it run DX11 for 3 clients in full options at same time, and have NO bug.
It's just fine for me.
So hope they will find where the bug is for those who have the bug.

But I can imagine how painfull it is, both side, players and CCP.

Please fix the solar system map.

Previously it would open showing a general view of the whole local system.

Now it opens showing an extreme zoomed-in view.

Having to pull the zoom back to an overall view every time is very annoying.

This bug was reported in the original Rubicon issues thread but, despite being bumped, it didn't even receive the basic courtesy of a Dev acknowledgement.

Drone info window no longer shows the total training time required to use them:

The game is not so important to me that I cannot go a few days without playing. I just have a hard time believing this sort of thing would occur. I have programmed, I am aware all kinds of bizarre things can happen. I am more curious to see what sort of internal controls CCP has, I would be curious to review their quality documents.

I don't know what happened, I am not pointing fingers. I just don't understand the chain of events which leads to such a thing.

Things do have bugs, but the can be deployed successfully. At the very least you can wait for success before announcing it. I work in biotech, pharmaceuticals. People take for granted that one Tylenol, no matter where it is in the world, will be exactly identical to another Tylenol of the same labeling. How is this done? Painstaking QA backed up by the threat of prison for those who falsify or are criminally negligent. l. Yes, batches go bad. We catch that. I won't say things don't slip through on occasion when it comes to the industry as a whole, the FDA has stomped more than one company. I cannot speak for the whole world mind you, I work under American and European standards of manufacture.

Iceland is part of Europe, however; or at least this is how people identified when I lived there. I am sure Iceland is aware of quality control standards. In fact, I know they are. That was a sarcastic quip if you are getting lost. This is game code. Yes, coding is a science, even an art, but it is less complicated than chemistry. Still, I am certain there are quality control systems in place for deploying code.

What kills companies a lot of the time is owners who do not know when to step back. I am speaking in general terms now, I don't have a list of positions and responsibilities for CCP. I don't have all the information a reasonable person should need to pass judgment. Maintaining creative control is one thing, but running a corporation is another. There is a point people need to step back and hire qualified people with the training and experience required for growth. Perhaps this is at the root of CCP's problem, perhaps not.

That said, I will do more than *****. If someone at CCP would like to contract someone to review, revise, or even establish a quality control system, my associates I could do so. I am committed to Harvard at the moment, but I will have time in the summer.

I think what CCP really needs is competition, however. The hard truth is is that they have a unique game; they have cornered this little niche of the gaming market. Really, they can run whatever **** show they want and people will still play, will still buy plex, even if they ***** to the high heavens the whole time. There is no real motivation, other than personal pride, which would propel change.

But what do I know?

Shall I check back in a week?

I looked at my support ticket. The only change i saw was the addition of a close tab. I wonder if that is a hint?

I also noticed that CCP will be migrating data to a test server to find bugs:
http://community.eveonline.com/news/news-channels/eve-online-news/universe-data-migration-test-on-singularity

Are we not finding enough bugs in the regular universe? Shouldn't you test data before it is deployed? Or are the players the quality department you don't want to hire? It is truly a unique system, charge people to play, then sucker them into doing your trouble shooting. I commend you.

In the meantime, could someone maybe move my character into the next system so I can play?

This does not happen on my steam install. I reverted to DX9 when CCP screwed the game over, and it stayed so since.

I'm just thinking out loud.
Do you have user rights in your steamfolder/Eve-folder? Coz if you don't, the settings might not get saved.
Right-click folder, go to security and click your name, should have Full Access (and no read-only preferable).

I really shouldn't have to change the security settings for the program files folder for the game to work. I have unmodified settings and everything else updates and overwrites as it should, this game included.



The 13.1 drivers are really old and not available for me at their site. Did you mean 13.11 beta? That's older than 13.12. I feel it would be irritating beyond belief to start experimenting with installing old drivers to get around a problem caused by Rubicon 1.1.
