The cause for this issue has been identified, we are working on the resolution.

Just rollback yesterdays 14MB patch (->.789891) that is not mentioned on Patch Notes page...

its fairly obvious that yesterdays patch included some code that made slots 'disappear'. If its linked to something that is getting deployed on the update next week and not before, could be an interesting few days.

Jobs started yesterday before DT and the day before won't deliver.
Jobs i started after the last DT deliver fine.
Hope this distinction helps you narrow done the bug.

Was it due to exploiting the workers by hanging on to outdated Federation dogma that perpetuates the economic and social differences in our society?

This has nothing to do with the release cycle??

So you will have a quick DT after you figure it out? Or are we looking at a full day? And are the jobs lost forever, or will they be okay?

Which server did you live test this on? It wasn't TQ because jobs on TQ are still broken.

Any chance you could give some more detail on what went wrong and/or why? I'm curious.

Well DT it come and DT it pass by and still I get the irritating 'Installation missing' message. Do we have to wait until DT tomorrow for a fix? My solicitors are demanding compensation for lost production CCP. Hey where's my missing T2 stuff? I filed a ticket too.

The patch has no relevance to this issue.

So are we talking like in the next hour or like some before the EU work day ends ?

The database script we are about to run will probably take about 1.5 hours. So we currently expect everything to be fixed around 13:30 EVE Time / GMT. Individual jobs will get fixed as the script executes.

The 1.5 hour estimate was based on the runtime of the activity that caused the issue. When the fix started executing it looked like it was going to run for 13.3 hours. We are now working on optimising the fix. It's already picking up speed and we'll keep you updated on the progress.

Current estimate is a total runtime of 230 minutes, starting at 12:00 EVE Time / GMT.

Procrastination completely ruined -.-

Now what todo......

We are now estimating to be completely done at 14:56 EVE Time / GMT (total runtime 176 minutes). The fix is incremental so jobs are being fixed one at a time.

14:45 (runtime 165 minutes) is the latest estimate.

14:40 (runtime 160 minutes), or in completely done in 4 minutes.

Oh bless that Monty Python reference has gone straight over you head hasn't it Explorer.

What proof do you have that the issue was even related to the pending industry changes?

You make me sad. So be it.

So.....where is the info on what went wrong? I've just checked every page of this thread and looked for any actual info...since you claim it had nothing to do with the stealth patch from yesterday...

If CCP knew what the problem was and they fixed it. Why did Explorer dodge the question about what happened? I think it is so they can polish a response.

Right now pending that I have an opportunity to talk to the team involved.

Let me guess what happend :

Dev1 gets an SMS.
Dev1 : "Quick. CCP Explorer is on his way to here. We have to move again."
Dev2 : "Where to now?"
Dev1 : "The basement. I still have some bottles stashed away there from FanFest."
Dev2 : "We never should have run that script without testing"
Dev1 : "Testing. Testing. Testing. Testing is for sissies. Live on the edge, man. And now move"
Dev2 : "He is gonna find us eventually".
Dev1 : 'Nah. it's almost weekend. And against next week someone else will have screwed up something and all this will all be forgotten"
Dev1 and Dev2 leave through door 1.
CCP Explorer enters through door 2, looks around and scratches his head.

Thanks for the details. When will this script be ran again?
