Thanks for the warning that a 276+MB patch was coming, CCP. Remember before you had your launcher how the patch was announced a day or 2 before the patch right on the Logon Screen? Right where every player could see it? Now you have a launcher, and there is news on the right side, but no announcements about the patch.

Don't you think it might be a good idea to give people news about the game in the news section of the launcher?

Were you all so busy deciding if the new selection screen should be Denim, Cornflower, or Tufts blue that alerting the playerbase in your fancy new launcher just got forgotten?

Seriously, the words LATEST NEWS are in big, white letters on the right of the launcher. You have Dev Blogs all over it telling us what you are GOING to do. If that is news, wouldn't it also be news when you actually DO things?

You spent boatloads of subscription money and faced numerous rage threadnaughts when you forced the launcher on us. At least make the thing useful in some small way.

You know, like putting the latest new patch release warnings in the LATEST NEWS area?

Just wait till Omni's are changed to consume scripts every 30 second cycle....

Also, I'm at work and want to see the new login-screen. Can anyone provide a screen shot?

Why?

This is a really annoying change. It means that when you kill a close-in target, and the next is far away, you may have to wait up to 30 seconds to change scripts.

Is this change specifically to slow down the changing of scripts? Or is it to reduce Cap use? Or what? If it is not intended to make changing scripts painful, then maybe turning off the module should result in it turning off right away, rather than at the end of the 30 second cycle.

Anyone else getting EVE to break when docking up, or emerging from a jump?

The client stops and errors about 9/10 when docking, and about 1/10 when coming out of a jump gate.

I've rebooted and run the new client without starting up anything else - same probs. This was my first reboot in about a month, and since last night the only change on my machine was the new EVE client.

Where should I post logs/reports/screenshots/sysinfo? I've never had an issue with EVE until now.

*edit*
Just noticed this section of the patch notes:

The Omnidirectional Tracking Link change is the last nail in the coffin for non-Dominix sentry platforms. Ships like the Armageddon already had trouble hitting because they lack bonuses to optimal and tracking, so 2x Omnis were more or less a requirement. Then they were changed to need to be scripted, and then 2x Omnis weren't even enough without switching scripts more than you do anything else. Now you can't even do that.

Is there some sort of explanation for this change? Is there a reason the source of this problem, the Dominix, hasn't been nerfed instead of nerfing every other possible sentry platform?

I've been pretty quiet on these forums, but I just had one simple idea:

Add an option to offset the camera vertically, since there is already one for left and right.

Personally, I find the current camera height to be somewhat inconvenient, and I don't see why the ability to change it vertically hasn't yet been introduced. It would be soooooo nice to be able to see straight ahead.

Yeah, yeah, I know, I should be playing zoomed out anyway.

I like to see my ship, sue me. Bear

"Omnidirectional tracking link cycle time has been increased to 30 seconds. Capacitor use per cycle remains unchanged."

My feedback is that this is sort of a pain and makes the game less fun.........no explanation given.

Reducing drone use, one tweak at a time......Yay

Well... this is exciting! With high speed internet here, looks like another 20 or so minutes before I can log on - as a few others said, "surprise!"

I guess this is my excuse to read the forums...

Well... 45 minutes later, canceled the patch, used the repair tool, it hung at 56.4% - had to use task manager to kill "repair.exe"

Win 7, 64 bit, 8gb RAM

Will try tomorrow when perhaps not so many are downloading the patch.

Omnidirectional change needs to be reverted .

They had just been brought in line with the other midslot precision modules from their previous overpowered state (a change I agree was necessary despite personally losing out on).

Why do they need to be so inflexible, yet so abusable with overheating, compared to other midslot precision modules?

FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, PLEASE FIX THIS DATACENTER:

205.185.216.10

I have been patching for over 2 hours getting about 10kbps of throughput. Something inside that data center is seriously broken. It has been broken for a long, long, long time.

My launcher screen shows 2 Ventures using 3 mining laser beams - are we to make anything of this, or is it just 'creative license' on the part of the art team?


Could a T2 Venture be one of the new ships?

The Omnis went from annoyance to PITA. Do not like.

otherwise, the patch works fine for me. And give the new login screens graphic artist a hug

yeah each update makes me happy somehow =)
... but don´t u want to do more of the shinyshiny new texture sports wich u started with the starbases?
... more new shaders, textures, mappings and all what we need to burn our GPU´s!!!!
... and while we´re talking bout GPU´s n graphics.... since 1.4 I always drop to 30 fps when undocking a station for 2-5 seconds, It´s not that big point of a problem, but anyhow it scratches the ego when such stuff happens while ur GPU´s are just 50-60% used^^
anyone else experiencing this since 1.4 ? stuttering after each undock? even when I disable/turn to minimum graphic settings this happens....

and how about finaly doing the (yup i agree it´s nice with the beautyfull ventures!) loginbackgrounds not so small? maybe they could also be done in some more ultra-wide-screen-formats^^ they´re still nice with black borders, but would be awsome without^^

(cant wait for the new warp in kronos Big smile)

Yep - have a look through the Issues thread. In fact, it precedes Rubicon 1.4, see here.

those black borders left and right beside the picture at loginscreen, in fact I look at those pics about a half a second so it´s kinda underweight problem xD

I run EVE at 4480x1080 resolution and there this background picture is just placed in the middle and got huge black borders on both sides, so this looks a little like the pic would be in 4:3 factor....
I don´t think it´s really a big matter, but on the other side there are so many games wich can scale the pic to this resolution so it can´t be that hard^^ Bear
