I havent had the black screen or flicker crash on my setup (just a lot more old fashion screen freezes). But last night I did notice something weird when I logged on. The authenticating process is taking a lot longer for me the last few days (and now that I really think about it since the last major update). Probably about 5 times as long as it used to (25 seconds or so compared to about 5 seconds before). What really caught my attention though was during one launch last night my screen did flicker in blocks just when it was starting to load, but only for a brief moment then it went ahead and loaded eve.
So I'm starting to wonder if this is really something that is affecting all macs, just some macs can power through it while others can't? |

Ok, an intresting update. Like I said before, I have not been having this problem where I can't play, but just now I almost had it happen.
What did happen was I played after todays update just fine this morning with no isuues at login. Then just now I got a quick flashy screen right after entering the my pass, then it hung on the authenticating black screen for 50 seconds (yes I counted). After that though it went to the charachter screen and I could get in and play.
So yea, I'm really thinking some sytems are able to power through the problem while others can't and this is really effecting all macs, just some crash. |

So I'm starting to wonder if this is really something that is affecting all macs, just some macs can power through it while others can't? Its only affecting a small number of Macs. All the one's CCP have do not have this issue. Mine does not. CCP says the number of Mac users that log in and play now is about the same as it was a few weeks ago. Its one thing that's making it so hard for CCP to find the issue, they have plenty of Macs, but none that show the bug.
Yea, but my computer hadn't shown the bug either unitl last night and today?
And I was still able to get in (playing right now) but there is definatly somehting happening now to my client that shouldn't be going on at login, and wasn't before.
Vincent, have you noticed any increase in the time it takes for your clients to authenticate? |

The Sisi patch also fixed my login issue too. |
