Macintosh

I have been using EVE Online on my i-Mac 17" - 2013, 2011 and 2012 MacBook Pro 15" and 2015 MacBook Pro 15" Retina. Ever since the ability was added use WINE through the new Launcher, it has been much better.

Dragging to re-size windows, running 2 accounts at the same time, no lockups when 1 of the 2 running accounts were running - these don't happen anymore.

There was one time, where I experience some corruption, but to remove all the variables, I blew out all the EVE files, in the library folder and everywhere else, to insure a clean install. This is often key, not just in EVE but in many apps. I had MS Office for Mac 2016 since the early betas last year, and wiping out all of it, and then a fresh install as cured any ills I have had with that product.

So when it doubt, clean it all out - and re-download the whole thing...its worth the time.

I use my iMac 2013 with 10.11.5 and always keep the OS up to date. Same with my 2015 MacBook Pro 15" w/Retina. Minimal problems, except high heat and fan speeds on the MB Pro.

I occasionally have a failure (once every 10-15 hours of play time - not all at once) but only when running dual accounts at same time.

Nice work CCP and keep it up.

I play full screen or Windowed...running up to about 1800 x 1000? Not sure exactly...but no troubles. sometimes I also run 2 accounts at the same time, but the MBP gets very hot

Very strange. Never had this problem or anything even close. If you have the time, I would wipe it all out and re-install fresh.

Dear Bob, please tell us how! I have that exact launcher version.

Holy mother....

I've been looking at the launcher screen for ages (6 weeks) and couldn't find the options and brushed it off as me being dumb (probably true) and unlucky as per usual not getting the right launcher.

Jebus frkk... -.-


Thanks bro!

Seems to work fine on launch... command keys don't work, but you folks know that.
Graphics look a lot better.

iMac Retina 5K, OSX 10.11.5

been running WINE for some time now. With Cider I was getting frequent freezes and lockups with my IMac Retina, running WINE fixed that.

The only thing I have to figure out is how to get the system to automatically accept the Wine Server. At the moment just after the character selection, the screen clears and shows me Wine wants to accept connection Allow or Deny -- I accept Allow and then have to select the WINE server from the dock to start

Its not a big issue, but one I would like to resolve.,

Wine version is working a lot better for me than Cider was but there seems to be a lot of missing graphics effects like active shield and armor mod effects and such.

I found the new Launcher option to use WINE worked brilliantly. I was using WINE via the shell before since the CIDER version has always been problematic for me, lock ups, and when I compared it recently to my WINE version I didn't like the CIDER look. My only complaint I had before was the market place, it looked like I was missing a font or two so the graph was missing some information.

Since using the new Launcher with WINE built in, it has fixed the market place, made it much easier to keep up to date and hasn't failed or even locked up once yet.. (I use the fixed window option that thankfully was still available which removed the only problem I knew of when switching back into the game).

I'm delighted with it.. Thank you CCP Devs.
