Hey!

Singularity was being updated with a new patch, which includes several client performance improvements - mostly related to the overview and brackets in space. Optimally you should not be able to notice any difference - except that it is faster. BUT: The changes are partially on a quite low level and have a chance to break a lot (and several major defects have already been fixed). It would be awesome, if you all could help us with making sure that we are not missing any bugs.

When will this be released to TQ? - Hopefully soon, but it depends a bit on how many problems we find.

What bugs shall we look out for?

  • Overview: It was being changed a lot. Try different setups, try several tabs, try switching between setups. Is everything displayed correctly?
  • Brackets (see known issues)
  • Missing text in random windows
  • Overlapping text
  • Corrupted text
  • Crashes


Currently known issues:

  • Standing icons on brackets in space are broken
  • Missing text in the show-info window for systems
  • Parts of the HUD (shield...) are a bit too dark
  • Fleet broadcasts are not shown on the overview
  • Targeting brackets in the overview are not centered correctly
  • The overview is not updating, while the mouse is hovering over it
  • The overview breaks completely when trying to filter it by standing.
  • Scanning results are not shown in the solar system map
  • Active item in the overview is not displaying as selected


Please write both a bugreport and a short comment in this thread, if you find any new bugs (which are not present on TQ and which are not listed in this post). You can send bugreports either through the ingame bug-reporting tool (press F12) or you can use the website. Please make sure to attach screenshots to the bugreports! Please attach crash-dumps for the case of any crashes (hopefully not). More information about writing bugreports can be found at http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Bug_reporting.

Btw: There will be a mass-test on Tuesday evening at 20:00 UTC.

Does this build also fix the in warp FPS freezing issue? Still not fixed. Best seen when running more the two clients.

Mining drones do not show action when mining.

While setting destination somewhere the overview sometimes keeps highliting the object from the previous route as a waypoint or doesn't anything at all. General settings.

I cant seem to get anything to show on overview. I've tried resetting to default. dropping brackets profiles. select all objects. dragging shading (double-click title of overview window) caused it to go completely blank, cant seem to get anything on overview to work. scanner results don't seem affected.

System stats? Has a bug report been created.

Did a restart clear the issue?

Make that all drones. You can still hover over them with the mouse and see their status, but it's not displayed in the window.

Also, playing on multiple clients, the overview doesn't update on windows that aren't the active window.

-edit- added an out of game screenshot to show both clients at the same time http://www.mediafire.com/?g91c2xwf8w8ip47

Habakuk are you going to write a devblog about all this? I'm interested to know what changed and how much hacking has needed to be done to get this working, whether it's part of some larger effort to optimise + modernise the client code etc etc.

Nothing in the overview "settings" was changed.... You might want to actually log on and look at things before you start complaining.

various things not showing, or not reliably showing, in map window (solar system view, while scanning or just using);
1. No bookmarks showing;
2. scanner probe icon (cube with arrows) not showing most of the time ... have seen it once since patch;
3. Laticework-sphere for scan probe coverage not showing most of the time ... only seen it a couple of times;
4. celestials very erratic. had planets and moons showing a few times, but not often;
5. signatures and anomalies not showing at all. the red (etc) dots, circles, and spheres do not show in map view. You can see them in the scanner window and you can (by luck) scan objects to 100% ... but you cannot see their icons or the bookmarks in map view.

Windows7 client keeps crashing. Since patch unable to boot windows client. still playing to check it's not something my end. Mac client working ok.

IGB graphics offset. the content graphics are offset from the frame. Functionality (buttons etc) not accessible via the offset content window ... but don't know yet whether they there but somewhere else.

bugrepots submitted.

I guess I am almost a 'vet' by now. Hopefully not too bitter and managing to help more than I hinder. I build and sell many things, including large collections of bookmarks.
