The Rhea release has been successful deployed!

The Rhea release brings a long list of changes to the world of EVE Online, including User Interface updates, new exploration content, 101 new wormhole systems, manual flight control, changes to cloning mechanics and a new opt in beta starmap that we're looking to gather feedback on!

For more information on the Rhea release, and to see a full list of features, take a look at the Rhea release page, and read more about what's coming in CCP Seagull's "Coming to EVE in the Rhea release" dev blog. For a full and detailed breakdown of changes please see the patch notes for Rhea.

Please provide details of any issues you encounter with the mac client in this thread.

For issues relating to the PC build of Rhea, please see this thread, and please leave general feedback regarding the Rhea release here.

confirming previous post is spot on. issue is annoying as hell, please fix :)

This only happens to me if I use the launcher to open two instances of eve. If I open a second or third client with a clone made by Eve clonemaker second or third instance doesn't freeze when I quit the first.

A third workaround is to use clones made with the clonemaker. I typically run three clients of clones and have no issue quitting any one.

im finding the game to be incredibly slower then it was running under pheobe and i run with all settings at the absolute minimum before and after the patch anyone else finding the same thing?

Speaking of multiboxing in Rhea, , I was multiboxing when one of my toons suddenly froze. I mistakenly force-quit the toon that was still working, and then force-quit the frozen one.

I then tried to log back onto the game on the toon that froze first, but it would not do anything (I was told that the game showed that toon was still logged in). So I tried to log in with a different toon. The game would load, but everything was black (and my computer seemed to be a little slower). I had no graphics

I deleted my cache and tried to log in, everything was still black.

I deleted and reinstalled the game client, everything was still black.

Ugh.

I can't even login to the game. The launcher is showing a grey bar at the bottom. So is the PC version.

Very very very unacceptable!

Tonight is the first chance I've had to play Eve since patch day and on my 3 month old imac i have the following:

Random freezes for no reason.
Random freezes for clicking the market icon, the wallet icon or indeed anything that requires the internet connection.
Random freezes that crash the client completely.

Graphical errors that turn UI windows yellow, bright yellow...
View any person or ship in the game, resize the window and bam... Bright Yellow all over.
View any person or ship in the game, resize the window and bam... Horribly broken graphics that look like electrical static.

Try the fix the above by altering shader settings and get a permanent cloak effect!

Yes by fiddling with your shaders you get the ghost ship effect. You really can see through your ship even if you don't run a cloak.

Open the new map, resize the window and you get all of the above.
Open the new map and look for useful information. There is none.
Go back to using the old map as it actually ******* tells you things...

Decide to cheer myself up and visit the nex store to buy some nice new clothes for my lovely looking female alts, click the button and bam...

The NES store opens up. All items show as black silhouettes, go for a closer look only to see heavily pixellated items that look like 1990's clip art.

I decide not to purchase.
I decide whether or not to ask for a refund of my sub as clearly this game is unplayable on a mac.

It makes me wonder if CCP actually tests the mac client prior to release.

My spec is as follows:

iMac (27 inch, Late 2013 model)
Processor 3.2Ghz Intel Core i5
Memory 8GB 1600 Mhz DDr 3
Graphics NVIDIA Geforce GT 755M 1024 MB

I would actually have gone for the I7 had there been one in the shop and I needed a computer in a hurry as my old one died.


Finally: Everything worked perfectly on high settings (with only the occasional minor glitch) before the last patch.

Now I love Eve so I'm not going to rage quit or threaten to, but I feel like I should as I simply can't play and have spent the last two hours submitting over 5 bug reports in between client crashes.

Same! Browsed the forums, filed a support ticket. Now it works! Maybe just have to wait longer than the 15 minutes that I did.

im having an issu after trying to start up the client.

I open the launcher and type in user info and log in.
client opens, but i only a blank screen.
every other app i use experiences massive slowdown and lag.

I have tried everything from clearing the cache to redownloading the client fresh with no effect. The client was working fine after rhea patch and the unexpected dt, but ut suddenly froze and is now acting weird.
