Test Server Feedback

I'm having trouble finding the Macintosh TQ-to-Sisi patch. Does anyone have a working download link? The links on Chruker and http://community.eveonline.com/patches/patches.asp?s=singularity aren't working.

When I tried to have the EVE client, itself, auto-download the patch, something claiming to install a "Launcher" froze on my computer and needed to be Force Quit.

The current Mac launcher for sisi wants to connect to TQ and so the workaround is to start the launcher in that folder pointing at singularity.

You need to do this from the command line using the following, assuming your singularity client is in Applications and named "EVE Singularity. This command is case sensitive, like all things in the terminal:

"""
/Applications/EVE\ Singularity.app/Contents/MacOS/EVE\ Online /server:87.237.38.50
"""

In your copied application, show package contents and go to contents, but don't edit the Info.plist file here. Instead go to the Resources folder.
There is an icon there call Eve Online, right click this and show package contents.
Go to the contents folder of this.
Edit the Info.plist file in this folder in the way you had been doing in the past and save your changes.

Like Seamus my launcher for Sisi seemed to be working ok yesterday and early this morning. In logging on a few minutes ago my EvE launcher tried to update my EvE Online app. It seemed to have downloaded the files ok, but when it got to the first step of patching I've received the following exception:

I'm going to try to duplicate my TQ app and try to update it to Sisi again.

Duplicating the client, changing the bundle name to include SiSi and using the command line switch to connect to Singularity and starts patching but getting the same error as PipBrown. Reproduced on Lion on 2 separate computers.

The new build (346707) is working. I just downloaded the new full client so no idea if the patching works. Now it's crashing every minute and string formats are seen everywhere in the UI, but at least it starts

Same here. As soon as I open the first or sometimes the second window it crashes. No matter which window it seems. A single time I had a crash when searching the market.

I downloaded 346707 last night, which took a few hours while I slept, then logged in to find that the build had changed this morning. The Sisi client patched to 347060 without a problem in the patching process.

Logging in seemed to be fine, but I can't convince the client to use the "EVE Online Sisi1" folder in Application Support instead of "EVE Online". Captain's Quarters loaded without a problem. I switched to Ship Hangar view without a problem. Switching ships was okay, as well as undocking. But, once I jumped through a Stargate, the game froze (except for the music) and a half-minute later, I was told there was an unhandled exception. The Overview never loaded any objects on the other side.

I Force Quit the client and log in again. Logging in goes without a problem, and my ship comes back from an Emergency Warp to the far side of the Stargate I successfully jumped through. However, the Overview had no objects on it. I right-click empty space to bring up the Context Menu, which immediately freezes the game and seconds later throws an unhandled exception.

Miccet's first link doesn't seem to work, as PasteBin doesn't have a file there. It might have expired too early. I suspect I'm running into the same problem, though.

I just tried to patch from 347060 to 348227 in preparation for the Mass Test today, and got the following:

Trying to launch the Singularity client again seemed to start a patching process from 348227 to 344784 (Sisi to TQ), and eventually threw the following error:
http://pastebin.com/tc6eUp9s

Trying to Launch the Singularity client a third time just has the splash rectangle for Crucible appear for a moment, and then silently quit.

Given that I don't have time to redownload the entire Singularity client from eveonline.com (it would take 5 hours), this is blocking me from participating in today's Mass Test, again.

[edit] You know what? I completely forgot to use the Terminal command. I'm going to try that on my second Singularity client, now. [/edit]

[edit #2] Nope, I'm getting the same error as before.

Would it be possible to go back to the old manual patching system? [/edit]

Starting the client through the terminal with /server:Singularity is working for me at least (but I'm not experienced with Macs, so I'm only following the instructions...)

There might be an error from the launcher, but starting the client again worked for me.
