Originally by: Cloora P3s are so old I don't even have them around as spare parts. Anyone want my Prescott Pentium 4 3.0 GHz CPU and mobo I have in the garage? I'll throw in the Radeon x1650 and Diamond sound card and 1GB of RAM
I'd take them. I keep all kinds of spare parts in my puter workshop. I put together old systems and use them for testing apps on them, for file servers, for running legacy games on older OS', and to give to kids for a first system. Heck, I still have an operational C64 & 128, a 286, a few old Macs, and hardware for everything in between them and now. Let me know if your serious about giving them away.

Originally by: Night Epoch Edited by: Night Epoch on 17/01/2011 04:32:10 I have no doubt the affected players will vehemently and boisterously voice their furious anger in this thread as soon as their carrier pigeons can deliver their posts.
Edit: that is if their computers are able to launch Netscape 1.2, then subsequently load eveonline.com, register their mouse click on the news item, and load said web page before windows 3.1 encounters another catastrophic DLL error.
My athlon 64 doesn't seem to have any problems launching Firefox, browsing eveonline.com, registering my wireless mouse's clicks, all while watching The Expendables on VLC on XP.

I have an Athlon xp 2400+ which I still use and happily runs Eve, but it's no more than a backup machine now to be honest.
Sounds like someone built a library without legacy CPU support, I'd be curious as to which libraries are causing the problem. Or maybe I should just try running SiSi on my old machine. Vote Illectro for CSM5! Supporting the New Generation of Eve Players |

Yeah I am running Eve (or rather I was running) on really old Athlon 2200 and its working fine... I can even play on 2 accounts at once!
I know I need to upgrade sooner or later Its that I would like to know about it in advance and NOT two days earlier!

But... this was supposed to run on my Amiga! Now I don't have any use for that Cyberstorm mk3...
Also, I ran Eve with an old P3 for a while, after my ex-wife took my gaming rig in the divorce (yes, she is that cruel), and it ran surprisingly well.
Too bad about the original Athlon owners, though. I guess you will have to find other ways of preparing your food.

Zulu, embrace the moment, and grab the opportunity as it presents itself: this would be a good moment to recompile the entire client --march=pentium4 --with-sse --with-sse2.
Just saying.

Umad?
--march=pentium4 would optimize the code for that lovely 31-stage Pentium 4 pipeline, so I would prefer a standard generic-build with SSE support enabled and --mtune=core2 instead.
Also, I doubt CCP uses GCC.

I've come to terms with my age, I was 18 when it came out. I built this computer my senior year of high school.

Yeah, to make it clear then the AMD Athlon 64 CPUs will not be affected. It's only the Athlon XP's and older that will be deprecated.

Honestly, supporting a standard that is running for already 10 years is impressive. But with the ever changing world of computer hardware I think it's a mandatory change. A lot of game studio's are already saying bye bye to that era, glad CCP does it now.
Holding back an update because of the ~1000 players not being able to play afterward is a bit silly if the rest of the base is not affected.
I welcome the new features the future brings, give us more revolutionary EVE things
oh fyi, I said bye bye to P3 already in 2001 --- got Twitter?

So I won't be able to run EVE anymore with my AMD Athlon XP 2800+? Great **** <_> Is there a possibility of having an alternative patch?
P.S. Also accepting donations.

It's time for some people to spend a few bucks to get a new CPU from eBay (if they can't afford the 200-300$ required for a supercomputer - compared to what they have) _ Ore Table | PI Profits |

This may be APEX, I believe. PhysX SDK 2.8.4 you're using is compiled with SSE2

I don't like that. My 2nd machine is a Athlon 3000+ XP with Socket A (no I can't buy an other CPU, cause all Socket A's don't have SSE2 AFAIK).
I would like to have a warning, a saying what could go wrong and then I would like to start EvE.
Maybe you should define better what hardware your game is running at...

PhysX DLLs for sure. Just recently they have been updated to use SSE2 ;-)
