In hangar mode, I'm seeing my ship, but it stubbornly refuses to spin.

Unable to download file mac/evepremiumpatch292761-304168-mac.tgz from the server.
Error: [Errno 996] Overlapped I/O incomplete: 'IOCompletionWsaGetOverlappedResult failed with error 996: Overlapped I/O incomplete\r\n'

Hrm... am I trying to patch too early?

Since incarna came out, I've been running eve at the lowest settings most of the time. On occasion I would up the graphics settings to look at a shiny ship or whatever.

I tried that today to celebrate the return of ship spinning, and I get a crash to desktop. I try to log back in and I get this error;

"Unhandled page fault on write access to 0x00000000 at address 0x8f0d975f.
Do you wish to debug it ?"

followed by a crash to desktop. My other client (cloned off of this one) works fine at the moment.


EDIT: Moved from Incarna 1.1.2 deployment thread, CCP Phantom.

Can you give me a few details please and i'll take a look into it?

* Ship type
* Mac hardware details
* Graphics settings.
* Race of the station you are docked in.

Proteus, but ship type did not matter.

Last years Macbook Pro. Running 1600x1000 windowed.

Basic graphics settings, towards the low end. Changing these did not affect matters.

Inherent Implants station in Bittanshal.

Some more details:

1) Trebor runs on my main install. I have several sub-installs (the usual symlink procedure), logging into Trebor on these installs worked fine.

2) Therefore I suspected a cache or settings issue. Killed cache. No effect.

3) Killing all settings *restored* the proper ship spinning behavior. Had to reconfigure my client though (grumble ***** whine).

I have yesterday's settings files backed up in Time Machine if they will be helpful.

Please include some hardware data so we can try to identify potential causes for this.

What hardware data do you need? Here's the overview from system profiler

I cant install the patch.

After downloading the patch, i run it. Immediately a verifying procedure started: it always stops halfway, with a pop-up windows saying i have to reinstall ( i tried 4 times).
Checking the logs, i noticed this:


Examining File : /Contents/MacOS/cider -> SHA1 Error

Rest is all OK.

I got a MacBook Pro with Mac OS X (10.6.8), 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5.
So far patches went just fine, but i'm playing on mac only for a couple of months.
I also run multiple clients on it. To do that i followed the manual procedure on the evewiki.

I'm already downloading the client again, but it wouldn't be bad to find a faster solution. :)

I Have downloaded the patch and then when i loaded up EVE it came up with the usual message saying that it needed to close so that it could update the client and it did, eve closed and Ipatch opened to update the files. However when EVE restarts, it then brings up the same message and then repeats the process. It will constantly repeat this process until I force quit the application.

Im using a Macbook with leopard 1.5.4.

Looks like your client is having problems connecting to our autopatching service, you can try manually downloading and applying the patch, here is a link to the download:

Sorry about the vague request, in addition to the above it would be good to know your OS version and graphics card.

Chipset Model:GeForce 8600M GT

That's cutting it rather close to the system requirements, I'd hazard a guess at this being the root cause. Why it only manifests after this specific patch is however not clear. Here is a link to the system requirements wiki:

The thing that strikes me as odd is that my second client (cloned off of the problematic one) works just fine. Is there a way to export all of my settings without being able to open the client? I wouldn't really mind a re-install if I can keep my settings.

Try using the repair functionality of the generic patcher, it looks like your client has a bad version of Cider which prevents the patch from completing, here is a link to the generic patch:

In hangar mode, I'm seeing my ship, but it stubbornly refuses to spin.

Update: killing both cache and all settings restored proper behavior.

I dual-box with two separate Mac Pros. One is a few months old and the other a few years. The last few patches have all required a full client download and install. The patches never work. They didn't work with the previous OS and, as I found out today, do not work with the new "Lion" OS either. Frankly, I've grown tired of complaining about that and just hope someday it is fixed. I won't yell anymore. I have faith that CCP is aware of the significant Mac issues and may someday stabilize the Mac client.

My question is regarding a different matter. My newer box uses an LED Cinema Display with an ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB graphics card. The 5870 is a relatively new card for the Mac. The older machine uses an Apple Cinema Display with an ATI Radeon HD 4870 512 MB graphics card (graphics newer than machine in this case). It is no slack card either and fairly high-end as well.

I don't know if the more recent 5870 card is the cause, but on the machine using it I have had frequent crashes of EVE which totally lock my Mac and require a complete hard reboot. Haven't checked it out with the newer client which I have yet to install (still "verifying"). When I say "frequent" I mean that if i can go 2 hours without it crashing I consider that a good night's playing time.

Is this a problem?
