Assuming you're referring to migrating the .stuff files and audio/video content to the shared resource cache, then yes.

I'm sorry for everybody who still has problems and hope these will be resolved soon :c I thankfully had no issues, despite (or because?) running Windows XP and thanks for the quick developer responses c:

But here is a little hope of mine that might come with the way they change to load things;
Yes, I know it is offtopic, forgive me, but if we are already at the "download on demand" thing, then "pre-caching on demand" isn't far away in my head c:

I would LOVE to see a proper pre-caching function. When we press undock, for several seconds there happens nothing until we actually undock. I often notice, despite resource caching enabled, that the station model has still not finished loading while I am EXITING. So sometimes I don't even see the station for a couple of seconds still. Didn't I just load that station as I was docking? Why is it gone again? Can't we just get something that preloads and precaches the things which we are about to encounter as we are still in the "undock queue" ?

Same thing with "warping to". The moment we warp to an object, the game already knows where we are going to exit.
Can't we get a way for the game to start precaching the objects waiting for us there in a certain priority list? Like, for example, if I warp to a gate. There is ALWAYS the gate, always the sentry guns, maybe police (if you are in highsec). Those can already be precached while we vroom vroom around in warp, unable to do anything. And then the game can proceed to load anything that is still there, on grid. Maybe the things not moving first, because they are likely to still be there? Or starting with the biggest ships first since they are still likely to be on grid as we arrive? I don't know, that is for you to decide.
Or warping to a mission. The game already knows which NPCs and whatnot are present. It could load that while we are warping to it, making the transition smoother?

But it would greatly help to react to something instead of exiting and seeing a frozen screen for a bit, before one can actually react to what is happening. Especially in PvP, I can think this would be useful to streamline the process of exiting warp and entering fight?

While in space, if I zoom or just pan the camera there is a 90% chance that the resource loading icon appears and the framerate drops. While doing a mission this happens like 50 times. I don't know what kind of resources are being loaded, but seriously this is a pain in the ... .

Since the Scylla update my laptop gets very hot while playing EvE. I'm sure this got something to do with all the "resources loading" stuff.

As much as I'd like to pay the 700€ minimum for a new laptop, it's not going to happen. And because I need my machine for other stuff and I'm really afraid of it burning down, I have no choice but to pause EvE until this gets fixed. My heart is breaking

EDIT:

Just found the download all resources check box in the launcher settings. After a restart it began downloading additional resources. I was under the impression having already downloaded all patch data. Maybe this will fix the slowdowns?

Hi

I am having wont can only be described as a major issue.

I'm running on a Windows 7 machine

I downloaded the the on demand update and the main update yesterday through my launcher no problem. Then I was able to log in through the launcher and that was successful. The play button is active and when I click it, it changes to launching then after a couple of minutes it switches back to Play. I checked my task manager and I can see under processes the exefile.exe is there and running at a constant 65k of memory and CPU is 25. I have tried changing the priority of the process and still no response.

I tried it a couple of times and nothing has happened. I have deleted my install of the launcher and client and downloaded a fresh version and installed it. Everything went fine. Still having the same problem. I have ticked the box to get all resources and that has downloaded fine. I have tried clearing my cache and I have tried the repair tool and still nothing is working. I am getting absolutely no response from the client even though according to my task manager the process is running.

I submitted a tech support ticket yesterday about it and I included screenshots of the launcher and the task manager, but I have had no reply at all about this apart from the automated reply once it was submitted.

I am sorry if this problem has already been covered in this thread but I didn't see it anywhere.

So if anyone can offer any advice I would be very grateful.

Hello

Worst Patch experience ever..
totally disheartened after a week of work, on a Friday evening wondering WTF can you do to get this POS working.

Steps followed:

1) Run client as normal.. Download patch thrash hard drive unpacking some hopefully GOOD stuff
2) Restart launcher that shutdown after patch.
3) Log-in then launch game... Nothing!

Start looking at forums:
3) Download and run new Launcher as suggested
4) Run launcher..
5) Await Launcher patching
6) Log-in
7) Launch game .. Nothing..

In all instances exefile.exe appears in process list and then terminates.

So what is next??

No game = really , .... , ..... ! player


OK after DT the game now just works.. no changes by me .. I expect sneakyness from CCP?

I've left it running for 5 minutes and nothing is happening. I'm running at 20 Mbps connection and as administrator and still nothing. I have even tried bypassing the launcher completely and going straight to the client executable but just get the exact same response.

That's what one would think. I still encounter the problem with the "resources loading" icon appearing every few seconds while in space. And there is no more resources I'd need. The launcher finished downloading all patch data.

Tbo, this sucks.

I'm having problems with client socket closed error messages since the latest patch,

Sometimes inventory isn't loading (freazing) and when i attempt to jump gates (change sessions) i seem to get closed socket errors.)

I have contacted CCP about the problem, I'm unable to ping TQ from multiple ISPs to no avail.

Thanks

Got 3 "socket closed " error in 2 hours , this evening.
Then the launcher broke down, ( on start up, asking for 7.8 gg dowload).
Started the game, with "exefile.exe"
Everything working fine.

But launcher still, asking for 7.8/ gg download

Feature or bug ?

Loading 7.8 gg patch, while playing fine with 3 accounts ( well it's a bit "tidi" in delve since yesterday ^^ )

Everything was SOP before I was disconnected this afternoon. (State Side afternoon) Now...

I was lagging like crazy. So I did my usual, delete cache in CCP file, restart Launcher.

Then the snags arrived in multitude.

Launcher crapped out. Okies, download 'new and improved' Launcher from forum link of a Dev posting. Restart 'new and fixed really!' launcher, DL 7.68~Gigs. Okies, restart lancher. DL.... 7.68~gigs. Huh? Set options in launcher to just get it all over with, download all DoD info so I don't have to deal with the hitching and lag moments ingame.

Launcher icon on desktop poofta gone? Pull from CCP file the shortcut to launcher. Launch. Nope, error list out the wazoo. Sigh, uninstall game, suffer thru entire new download of client. Nope! CCP file eats itself but amount of space on HDD remains same as though it's still hiding somewhere. Fine, put back in "seriously, this launcher works!' again, download 3.~gigs, then 2.5~gigs, then launcher icon eats self again, rinse wash reload, launcher says there's nothing anywhere but the space from these 2-7 gig multiple downloads are still missing from total space available on HDD. No launcher icon will stay put, uninstall exe doesn't seem to be in any of these repeat downloads, and game will NOT launch from any location I attempt.

FINE....

A link to something that will strip ALL of Eve out of my computer so I can do a complete clean reinstall? Its in there somewhere, it won't work and it won't come out.

If I can't get some sort of tool or file that'll strip it out of all it's hidey holes it's scorched earth policy here. Format HDD, reinstall. I'd rather not be stuck with a computer doing mostly nothing but updating and reinstalling everything when there's 500 gigs of stoof on it...

I'm a computer hardware chick, not very software savvy, so please have the instructions in "Software for Dummies" terminology.
