Macintosh

it makes me nervous to read about the term "hope" in case of IT-related stuff

"spam"

it is always a problem if you relay on middleware like cider and have to build workarounds for bugs that you cannot change on your own. I work in it business since there is an it business and i can tell that software quality is not getting better only a lot more complex because of all the tools and middleware. So sometimes it is not realy fair to complain about ccp development for all of the bugs but it can help if ccp comments on bugs and the timeframe for a solution. in my real live job i always like a "know bug / workaround / know limitations" database on software products, but mostly the marketing or legal guys try to keep problems quite and let anybody find out about problems on their own.

buy the way i woud like a native mac client to.....

"end of spam"

Since the new update my launcher freezes at "Downloading Eve Launcher Update". Absolutely nothing happens.
Tried deleting cache, etc, all the workarounds i could find.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

Now, i keep the preferences in different folders for each client and then, via a bash script, i move a plist file around before launching the clients.

This way i only have one installation and save a lot of precious space on my SSD.

If i'll use the clonemaker, each clone it's going to have 25Gb or not?

After updating to Scyalla on my Mac I get nothing but a black screen when launching the EvE client (either via the launcher or digging through the package to find the app itself). After waiting a minute or so EvE crashed back to the desktop with the error:

TransGaming C Runtime Library
Runtime error!
Program: C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe
abnormal program termination

And sometimes:

Exception raised
Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x0000006c
at address 0x1e1e70a6.

This is under OSX 10.10.2 that was running Tiamat fine.

Hi,

i updated my two older max pro Systems (macpro 1.1 2006 and 3.1 2008) Total time from first lauch to client ready about 4-6 Minutes. Everything work fine.

My macbook lost the stored login profiles, the rest is working also ok. but this happens sometime.

thanks for the smooth update

I cried a little at the first bit.

THe whole storage location of the Eve install isn't new. The Cache has been in this location since I started using Eve on my Mac.

Ive been monitoring the downloading by the clones I made. I made new ones as recommended by CCP. They are still downloading a set of ResFiles all their own. The folder is up to 1.2 gig, just flying around Jita for 15 minutes.

Also, even with the new clones, I am getting freeze-crashes. But now they come with an exception notice, asking if I want to report the crash. (I have done so 4 times now). Oddly, once that exception window pops up, the game un-freezes.

These events are happening at the start or end of warps. I'm guessing they are caused by the background DoD that the client is doing, despite having an alias to the ResFile of the main instal.

Edit: I think I sorted the issue. Here is what NOT to do:

Update main instal.
Run an old clone
See CCP's notice about the need for a new clone maker.
Get the new clonemaker
Delete old clones, make new ones

The issue is the new clones still use the old files in Application support. Those got used when I ran the old clones with a client that uses DoD. The result is the new clonemakerr put the alias to the SharedCache in the wrong place.

Here is what works: (And I did by accident with one clone.)

Update main instal.
See CCP's notice about the need for a new clone maker.
Get the new clonemaker
Delete old clones, make new ones

Here is the fix if you did it wrong:

Go to Library/Application Support/Eve Online clone/p_drive/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/SharedCache
In SheredCache there will be an alias to your main SharedCache folder in your main instal. Drag that onto the desktop for now.
Trash the folder SharedCache.
Drag the alias SharedCache back to take it's place.

CCP: What you can do to make this issue go away: When the clonemaker tries to put the alias SharedCache in Library/Application Support/Eve Online clone/p_drive/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE, there will be a problem if a folder named SharedCache is already there. The Alias ends up in the wrong place. What you need the script to do is first trash the SharedCache folder, then make the alias.

So, I have started getting massive FPS drops since the update.

I have cleared my cache, tried repair tool, changed to directX9, and atm running on lowest graphic settings, and I am STILL having this problem.

I live in a wormhole, so I've only tested it inside a POS and in empty space, but this is my problem:

chillaxing inside a POS forcefield. Max zoomed out. Average 200 FPS (I dont know how to cap it to like 60, please do inform me how to do that). At max zoom, zoom in really quick. As soon as the camera "hits" the forcefield, massive FPS drop to like 10 fps for 1-2 seconds and then goes back to avg 200.

Same thing when trying to quickly zoom out of a POS forcefield.

No FPS drop trying the same thing in empty space.

My computer isnt super good but I've been running on really high graphics up until now, without problem.

please help :>
