that would mean that everyone in EVE would need to start using Windows VISTA, since DX10 will only be available for VISTA afaik.

Yeah, then new graphics engine is nearly finished. CCP have just got to put in the lag, the memory leaks and the random crashes before they release it.
I am sure it will be great, but does "Self Shadowing" mean that the sun will really shine out our arses?

Self-shadowing probably means that a shadow effect will now appear on your ships, like the wing of the Probe creating a distinct shadow on the hull of the rest of the ship.

It'd be nice if they managed to sort the horrible texture artifacts on some space stations (mainly Amarr ones it seems, curse their frivality!). But the stations are modular I think so unless they remodel them all as seperate stations I doubt this'll happen. Still, good news all the same as Eve is still bloody gorgeous and any new pretties are welcome by me!

if you're talking about the flickering I think it's something to do with the Z-buffer.
Apparently, if your GFX card supports it, changing to W-buffer fixes it.

Well i guess most people playing now, has upgraded allready to a 64bit machine or are thinking about it anyway.

EON #3 will have a new grafic engine?
Will it finally run on Linux systems too without me having to avoid some stations and gates?
We got it promised just 3 years ago.

Not even on my list of things to do this year, or probably the next couple of years. They institute a need for 64 bit systems and I'm sure a lot of people will have problems, particularly poor college students like myself.

Considering there is no real d3d support in linux and to recode the whole graphics engine in OGL is not something I think we would want CCP to invest time in, I dont think a linux client is comming anytime soon.

@SengH:
EVE runs fine under Cedega - with the exception of a few Minmatar stations, gates and the totally devastating way the ESC-menu is rendered.
Zoominig way out helps with the objects a bit, but the client still has a chance to crash.
Trying to access the ESC-menu makes the client crash hard.
The devs said a few times they're in contact with the cedega team to single out the problems and to fix them. The Cedega team states ccp never even contacted them.

I highly doubt when they add HDR,and shift EVE from more software based pixel shading to hardware shaders cedega will support that.

IMO People only want it running on linux for the "omg I'm a leet unix user - cool" factor, and AFAIK it can be made to work on linux as it is. (at least it used to when I tried it)
For the other 99.9% of the population, Windows is still the gaming OS... Nothing is going to change that for a while.

EVE is the only reason I still have any MS product running for over a year.
And I know that many others are i nthe same situation.

That's a very bad interpretation of why people are requesting EVE on Linux (even if through just Wine suport and not an EVE codebase port). In my experience, the EVE Linux community wants the capability not for the 'leet' factor but because EVE the one remaining reason why Windows exists on their computer. That's my only reason. Everything else I need, from games to security, authoring and graphical construction are already avaliable to me on Linux. Because I prefer the GUI (in specific gnome and fluxbox) that runs on the Linux kernel to the Windows GUI (or litestep modification), that doesn't mean we are trying to be 'leet'.

my poor wallet. only upgrade that i'm thinking of is in aquiring a AMD barton core cpu for my machine. And that's streching my wallet already.

If you wan to be "Different" and run Linux for most things, you should be be able to script your own graphics support, Otherwise your just a trend ***** anyway.
So if whining and *****ing that your upsupported OS, is not supported by CCP is your cup of tea, I won't miss you when your gone :)

They had a poll on the subject at one point (think in the form of a dev blog and replies) after a few hundred replies and 90-95% of them saying "don't bother with a linux client" they said the matter was decided.

I wish they focused on the low level stuff instead, such as re-doing / correcting ship and station models, shaders, UVs, and textures as many of them have oversights wich have lingered ever since the game's inception.
Just to mention an exemple, the evident lack of symetry in the modelling process (even for ships that are meant to be symetric such as the malediction - forward fins rotation values arent the same) tiny mistakes like that are so simple to fix its quite frustrating to see them stick around for... years now!! lol
This points to me an apparent lack of any QA in the art dept. or in any case a lack of any follow-up to the art assets integrated in builds.
Either that or there is no longer any artistic resources at ccp available for such a followup.
A single competent model/texture artist could very well do an overhaul of these art assets. Taking proper time to double check with QA before sending to a final build. The process wouldnt be that long and 1 man isnt all that much resource taken away.
I dont profess to be an expert but ive been in the field for over six years now, and I do think the game would greatly benefit from such an overhaul.
ma 2 cents ;)

Same for me. I don't really mind Windows functionality as such. XP has been a good OS for me.
But guys. Wait till you see all the cloak and dagger garbage planned for Windows Vista. I want to get rid of all that, it's my computer not RIAA's, Microsoft's or anyone else's. I don't have a single pirated thing in my computer and I haven't had one for at least five years. Screw all the control freak nonesense, I say. I don't want to let them into my computer just to be able to play the single game that I play - Eve.

@Zyrla:
This is not about a native Linux client.
It is just about fixing bugs in a few objects and changing the way >one< of the windows is rendered. Everything else just works as good under cedega as it does under windows.
And each and every poll I know of had about 70-80% for Linux support.
