EVE Information Portal

hmmm... I'm thinking DoD should have been opt in... not forced upon....

I'd have much preferred to have dl'd the update once for a couple of hours vs the 4 or 5 hours of restarts, deletes and re-installs that this has already come to. Not to mention avoiding the future lag issues with the damn thing constantly "updating demand content" in the future.

I've given up and am just doing a completely fresh install of everything... Should I just go ahead and do that for the other two accounts as well to save time?

Hi!

I noticed on the Sisi client after it was changed to download on demand that when i made a session change ingame like jumping a gate or undocking from station that the client halts for 2-3 secs.

I never got around to reporting it and forgot about it until i patched my tq client today and the issue was introduced on tq as well.

Now, when jumping gates its not that big of an issue as you end up cloaked after jumping but undocking from a station leaves your ship in space while the client hangs and takes away the seconds you may need to get away from station before someone targets you.

I cannot find any other posts about this but I know other players have noticed it as well.

Are there any launcher.exe processes that have hung, in the background?

is there any fix for the Local Session Corrupt message?

The launcher will move all the resource files to the new shared cache location so you don't have to download that again. The stuff files will be deleted afterwards so you won't have duplicates lying around. Once the conversion process has finished the launcher will download anything that has changed, similar to what it's always done.

You don't need a second installation to run your second account - that will work the same as it did before.

Your bandwidth usage overall shouldn't change.

I'm just sad he beat me to it.

CCP guys are beating each other up over on Reddit as well - fighting over who gets to answer a help question first. I don't know which is more impressive - seriously major patching paradigm switch with just a few bumps or the enthusiasm of the support.

Were you able to reproduce this within the last few days or today on Tranquility? There was indeed a short freeze during session changes on Singularity, which was unrelated to Download on Demand. This freeze should have been fixed about 12 days ago and I am no longer able to reproduce it.

I understand that, but could you please look into the problem for why WinXP users need to download an extra file as posted in this topic to make it work? I had multiple launchers in my taskmanager all of a sudden and none of them did anything. Only installing the file linked in this topic fixed the problem. Would be handy if you would somehow add this to the regular patching when the system detects Windows XP c:

I can confirm this worked fine and I have more space than before, at least this is an improvement.

BUT!

There is a problem though :c
The SETTINGS are not saved in the local installation, but they're saved in "Documents and settings -> username -> Local settings -> Application data -> CCP " folder on your system drive. This is where cache and settings are stored, including all the portraits and other temporary files. It also creates a folder for each installation! That wastes space due to this redundancy because all portraits and anything else are loaded in there individually as well. So in my case I have the folders:
e_eve_tranquility
and
i_spiele_eve_tranquility

So it would be very much appreciated if you are adding a process to migrate those files into the shared files, AWAY from the system drive. Because in my case both folders are a total of 1.7 GB. If you're merging all account profile settings into one folder, all our settings and temporary data are in one place, being our game folder and not our system folder! c:

By the way? Your new loading boar doesn't look good when starting the game directly, bypassing the launcher :c Not only is it horribly jagged... but... what is the problem of seeing how much progress has passed instead of staring at a never ending fluctuating something?

To be fair to Lanaya - you only announced on the Launcher which many of us have given up on using because of its many painful issues. I literally just barely missed falling into this same trap because of the reddit announcement. So, finally throwing up a red flag OUTSIDE the Launcher at the last minute was bound to miss a few thousand people. Hopefully this doesn't reach BOOT.INI notoriety, but ignoring the countless pleas to fix the Launcher @##%@!&*!%$ ever since it came out may finally come home to bite you.
