Still no EVE Online for me unfortunately ,,,


Hi Ulises and other users above 10.6.8 that are still experiencing trouble with "Play" doing nothing in the launcher,

Could you do the following for me and report back?

1. Right-click on your EVE Online application and select "Show Package Contents".
2. Expand Contents.
3. Expand Resources.
4. Right-click on your EVE Online listed under Resources and select "Show Package Contents".
5. Expand Contents then MacOS.
6. Open a Terminal window and type"CHMOD 700 " into it (make sure you have a space after 700), then drag "cider" from your finder window into Terminal and hit ENTER.
7. Expand Frameworks and repeat step 6 but with the "wineserver" file.

If this doesn't work please let me know!

Ive tried running three clients on my MBP, doing a mining OP. I'm having issues. First, I get short freezes. They last from a few seconds long to about 2 minutes. The entire computer freezes, UI, clock, everything, except the mouse pointer.

After a few of these happen, graphic anomalies start showing up. Ships turn white. Stations turn yellow. When selecting a station, the "dock" button is just an empty square. After docking, the background is black and item icons do not show (although I can still interact with the items). I have done a bug report.

I am going to set all the clients to "optimized for memory" and see if that helps. A shame if the new cider client means I have to look at a ugly game.

That is unfortunate, Vincent. Would you be so kind as to submit a bug report regarding it and I'll have a chat with everyone here?

Bug report submitted, but under the name of an alt on another account (who I will not name in an open forum). I'd tell you the bug number, but I cannot figure out how to view my report. Has that functionality gone away?

Oddly, when I tried to take a screen shot, it showed me the results as a blank page. I assume its another bug, but I do not know if the bug is a screen shot was not taken, or it just was not shown to me.

No bug filed yet, because it was only a quick check, but it looks like high-resolution textures are still broken in the character creator. They look much better in the CQ, though.

I got the weird jittery whole-screen animation while slowboating in space, too, as if I was in warp. Ships also look much better, and yay blinkenlights.

Glitches notwithstanding, this is looking like a major upgrade. It's much smoother and much less taxing on my hardware.

Problems running and exiting multiple instances of Eve. If I run all 3 instances and quit one instances through the ingame menu then the remaining instances of Eve will freeze and have to be force-quit then relaunched.

I want to say thanks to CCP for an error free patch download and smooth experience. I was worried, not going to lie, but it all went smooth, so credit where credit is due.

Some guidance as to what to do ? Do I delete everything and install from scratch?

Cheers.



Day two of not being able to play.

I've reinstalled from a fresh download, (i cleared out some diskspace)

It took a considerable amount of time to download, a considerable amount of time to mount the DMG, and a considerable amount of time to copy from the dmg to applications. I now click to run it and it tells me "Eve Online is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the trash. Safari downloaded this file today at 20:25 from cdn1.eveonline.com".

My chars are out of skill training. If someone would be kind,

a) can I have some info on what to do now, because downloading and installing has failed and
b) can someone put #random skill onto train...

From a stickyed thread in this forum;

"We have received a number of reports where Mac users receive the following message upon trying to run EVE after downloading the Mac client:

"EVE Online" is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash.

Currently Gatekeeper does not recognize the EVE Online Mac app. This message is a security measure, but you should be able to run the app if you right-click it and select Open. You can also go into System Preferences -> Privacy & Security -> General, and set "Allow applications downloaded from:" to Anywhere, which will avoid this coming up again for future downloads.

This is not the only reason for the message, but it has resolved the majority of cases. If you are still seeing the message after trying the above process, please file a technical support ticket."

Also: When you (or anyone) tries to reinstall, also try deleting the Eve Online folder in application support.

You need to go into your preferances to switch your settings. Go to prefrances, then Security and privacy, then General then 'Allow apps to be downloaded from "Anywhere"'.

Then it should allow the EVE client to be opened. You can change it back the settings btw since it will recognize EVE.

This did the trick for me, after that it launched flawlessly.

Ok, so with the security set to 'allow apps from anywhere' I can now get into the launcher, but the launcher just hangs.: the window has appeared as expected, but when i mouse over it goes into a spinner, and I cant select to type my username or anything in. I'm not being maxed out on cpu, and theres tons of memory free.

Nothing is 'happening' - the bar at the bottom which usually goes across checking the patch, just isn't.

I had also wiped my application support folder to give it a full re-install.

Any other ideas appreciated.

On an aside: I don't quite understand why the app is not signed by an 'identified developer' though - my understanding (and forgive me if I'm wrong) is that you only need to pay a $50 fee or similar to be able to sign apps for macs. I don't like (in general) having to drop down to un-identified apps. Chain-of-trust type security applies.

+1 on horrible multiboxing hanging bug.

Please fix this ASAP! It's 100% reproducible, and a huge liability for capital pilots trying to do cyno chains.

Until this is fixed be sure you've docked before logging out a cyno!

First the current problem: the launcher is broke (no two ways about it) so I went to the resource file and launched from there and it worked fine last night. This morning the laucher is still broke, and now from the old login screen I get "new build" I click yes and it tells me it was damaged and I can't log in. I spect considerable time yesterday downloading the patch, then spent 4 times as long updating to mac os X 10.9 something, then even more time once the launcher broke, getting rather tired to be honest. We need a fix that works and keeps on working. Work arounds that last for one log in is silly. I know you are trying but please find a solution.

guess I will do the repair. and if that does not work, delete cache I guess.What?


Hi Epicurus, could you try the following first:

1. Open Terminal (From Applications > Utilities).
2. In the resulting Terminal window type the following then hit ENTER: "open Library"
3. You should now have the Library open in a finder window, find the folder called "Application Support" and open it.
4. Find the "EVE Online" folder and open it.
5. Find the file called "config". Rename it to something different like oldconfig.
6. Run your TQ Launcher
7. Attempt to log in to TQ.
8. Success or Failure? Post in this thread please.

If that doesn't work, I have another potential workaround

Eve launcher shows Tranquility Status (Green) and Online Pilots
Client launches, then the blackscreen with white connection bar fils
Then it takes a little bit and then I get following message:
"Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong."

Next to the above I also tried launching the "app/Contents/Resources/EVE Online.app" same results.

I had no issues launching Eve before the Kronos patch, now I have a skill queue dead in the water for 36+ hrs

Strange thing, while on the launcher I see Tranquility status and nbr of online pilot properly, on the client only "server:Tranquility" shows, next to status it keeps saying "unknown".

Thanks for helping me out here...
