Macintosh

EVE unplayable right now.

Updated my system (MacPro2013) to 10.11.4, and it started wigging out. (Prior to the update, I was getting the frequent crashes others have reported).

Under Cider, which had been the default setup, no graphics would load, I'd only get overlay screens. So I found this thread, told the launcher to download all files to improve performance, and switch to Wine.

Wine looks, nicer, but one fatal flaw. No overlays will work. Hit the button for them, and you see them appear to zoom to minimize. I've tried with and without DX9, and multiple Wine versions. Same problem.

Also, when it was in fullscreen on my two-monitor system, the billboard that you see when you are docked would take up the whole screen. Windowed mode got rid of that.

Help!!!

Please file a bug report with logs:

Go to settings in the launcher, enable 'Run clients with logging'. This will then start up LogLite when you press Play. Once the game has started, let it sit for a minute or so on the black screen, then go to LogLite and save the log.

Then go here: https://community.eveonline.com/support/bug-reports/ and fill in the report (mention my name in the title so I can find it quickly), with as much detail as you can and attach the log file you just saved.

I'll take a look as soon as I can and see if the logs give me a clue as to what is going wrong.

Everytime I try to upload a file (5.3MB) your system told me after 100% "Upload failed"

I think I know what´s going on - Wine is underestimating available video memory. For now, you could try disabling post-processing. It's a bit bit tricky when there's nothing visible on screen, though. If the client works under Cider you could try switching back, changing settings, then going to Wine again.

I should be able to address this in Wine sometime next week.

Right, settings are stored in a different place, forgot about that. After you've changed this in Cider you need to copy your settings again. In Preferences in the launcher is a big button labeled 'Copy client settings from Cider to Wine'. Press that after switching back to Wine.

Again, I'm hoping to sort this out next week - this convoluted process is just a temporary workaround.

Switching post-processing off has no effect.
So I try a little bit and disable antialiasing. *boing*
Everything fine until now with post -processing active.

I discovered what might be part of the problem I'm seeing since my OS update and going to Wine...

Some overlay windows automatically minimize, and I can't get them back open without either docking/undocking or restarting.

Testing this some more, and it seems like some sort of memory issue.. after a certain point new windows won't open.

Retina Windowed mode resolutions issue:

Wine works fantastic in fullscreen in 2880x1800, but unfortunately I am used to play in windowed mode. On Cider this is set at 2560x1600 which nicely takes up the middle of the screen.

Getting this setup is not possible under Wine. If you try windowed mode it reverts to a very low resolution of 1280x800 or even lower if resized. Setting anything higher, the screen is off screen. I am fairly certain the way the retina display works under OS X is the culprit.

Best regards,

PS: does Mumble overlay work with Wine?

One thing's for certain.. with the persistent graphical problems, there's no way I could do anything more that be a mining carebear until these issues are resolved. I almost lost my venture tonight because I couldn't get drones launched, because I couldn't get the drone window to appear.

CCP Snorlax, been having issues that last few days where jumping gates once again is locking up the screen so I can rotate my view tell I change camera type.

Started up after I logged into my alt to do some MCT, had issues on her and now on the main again. This might now be your department but thought you should know.

Happens in Orbit camera mode - have to switch to tactical (might take two to three changes)
