kieron	Posted - 2006.08.24 17:40:00 - [1] Tranquility will have an extended downtime tomorrow, 25 August, running from 1000 to 1200 GMT. The additional downtime will be used to deploy some server-side fixes needed after Tuesday's Dragon code branch deployment. No changes or patches are being made to the EVE client during tomorrow's maintenance period. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

Krane Albright Reikoku Band of Brothers	Posted - 2006.08.24 17:45:00 - [2] Any chance that the issue with losing overview settings will be resolved? I've not logged on my pvp account since the patch to try to avoid losing the mass of overview settings I have.
Caol Minmatar	Posted - 2006.08.24 17:51:00 - [3] In other words, set a long skill training
Epsilon 1	Posted - 2006.08.24 17:53:00 - [4] At long last Originally by: Steven Gerrard Why do those minmatarians throw their ships together from toilet paper and junk?
Jim McGregor Caldari	Posted - 2006.08.24 17:53:00 - [5] Originally by: Krane Albright Edit - what happened to all the forum regulars, i was 5 minutes after the op and still got first ... shocking performance lads! I was watching Scrubs. To kieron: Thanks for the info. :) --- Eve Wiki \| Eve Tribune \| Eve Pirate
Professor TBK	Posted - 2006.08.24 17:56:00 - [6] Originally by: Caol In other words, set a long skill training Wise words... set a 1+ day skill, you never know wether or not a 2-hour DT might turn into a 12+ hour DT :P
Kyguard LFC 3rd Front Alliance	Posted - 2006.08.24 18:13:00 - [7] Sounds good, only 1 question here kieron.. will our overview settings be preserved? === God is on the side with the best artillery.
Par'Gellen Gallente Low Grade Ore	Posted - 2006.08.24 18:14:00 - [8] Originally by: Krane Albright Any chance that the issue with losing overview settings will be resolved? I've not logged on one of my pvp accounts since the patch to try to avoid losing the mass of overview settings I have. I agree. What's the deal with overview settings getting blown away every other patch and when are you going to stop doing it? Prediction: This question gets ignored because they don't really care about overview settings and how much of a huge pain it is for their paying customers to set them all back up again... grrrr
Kyoko Sakoda Caldari Omerta Syndicate	Posted - 2006.08.24 18:15:00 - [9] Alright, I know the overview settings bug is annoying, but honestly, it takes 5 minutes to sort that out. I redid all 14 of my settings. The fact that people aren't logging in because of it is a bit crazy, imo. Learn what it means to be Caldari - www.omertasyndicate.com

Originally by: Oveur This is not the conspiracy you are looking for.
RoMUF	Posted - 2006.08.24 18:28:00 - [11] What will be fixed? everything? Hate to say this but aren't most of the known issues testable with just a few players? These bug shouldn't exist. anyway keep up the good work.. what worked after the patch worked well.

Notice I said one of, got a few others that i've been using ... just cba setting up all the fleet ones again if I don't have to.

kieron	Posted - 2006.08.24 18:44:00 - [13] Overview settings are saved client-side, the update is being made to the server-side of the game, so I am being led to believe overview settings will not be wiped tomorrow. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

Par'Gellen Gallente Low Grade Ore	Posted - 2006.08.24 18:52:00 - [14] Edited by: Par''Gellen on 24/08/2006 18:52:58 Edited by: Par''Gellen on 24/08/2006 18:52:33 Originally by: kieron Overview settings are saved client-side, the update is being made to the server-side of the game, so I am being led to believe overview settings will not be wiped tomorrow. This does not answer the question as to why they were wiped in the first place or whether or not they will be restored. Please don't dodge the issue.
Shivalynn Minmatar	Posted - 2006.08.24 18:57:00 - [15] Any chance of seeing what fixes are going to be applied, excluding those ones that could be used for exploits and such?

When they said Dragon code was being released I started a 14 day skill.. just incase...

Hi Kieron, yea I would also like to know what fixes are being applied. In particular, is the issue with a queue being looked at? And thanks for the heads up on the DT.
Traxio Nacho Sharks With Frickin' Laser Beams Mercenary Coalition	Posted - 2006.08.24 19:51:00 - [18] One assumes all the bugs or at least most of them will be sorted in tomorrows DT?
hendo001 Caldari Quantum Tech Mining	Posted - 2006.08.24 20:15:00 - [19] kieron is there any more info about what you are fixing tomorrow? anything about the queue system/agents etc? Any extra info would be great thx. All the best Hendo001 QTM is currently recruiting miners and haulers convo me or send an evemail in game Visit our forums Linkage Link removed - Wrangler
Cyan Nuevo	Posted - 2006.08.24 20:15:00 - [20] Chances are all of your overview settings are already cleared (whether you log in or not), as the patch apparently erased the stored settings.
Wrayth Osu Caldari Intergalactic House of Pi Distant Star Alliance	Posted - 2006.08.24 20:16:00 - [21] Edited by: Wrayth Osu on 24/08/2006 20:17:41 Originally by: Par'Gellen Edited by: Par''Gellen on 24/08/2006 18:52:58 Edited by: Par''Gellen on 24/08/2006 18:52:33 Originally by: kieron Overview settings are saved client-side, the update is being made to the server-side of the game, so I am being led to believe overview settings will not be wiped tomorrow. This does not answer the question as to why they were wiped in the first place or whether or not they will be restored. Please don't dodge the issue. Granted he didn't answer the question he asked.. but... Since he specified that those setting are stored CLIENT side, logic dictates that those settings were blown away when you applied the patch yesterday, and nothing is gonna bring them back now. ____________________________________________________________________ Wrayth - "These are not the carebears you are looking for."

If the overview settings are held client side, then one can safely say that if you upgrade from 3913 -> 4557, your overview settings will go unless you can find whereabouts they are stored, copy them, then replace them again after you upgrade. Being held client side means that CCP has no record of them, therefor will be unable to bring them back. Eve is like a new girlfriend - you know its going down at some point, its just when and for how long.
dalman Rampage Eternal	Posted - 2006.08.24 20:36:00 - [23] Why the bloody ***** ** is the cloak thing listed in known issues? You better not break cloakes again in this update. Finally one thing (out of many) that has been broken for 2 years is fixed and it's called an issue? Am I forced to have any regret? I've become the lie, beautiful and free In my righteous own mind I adore and preach the insanity you gave to me

They are? Hmm..I might be able to restore mine then given I did a backup recently. Yay!

kieron	Posted - 2006.08.24 20:43:00 - [25] I don't have the answers to all the questions in the thread, but I'll answer as best as I can. Overview settings: It is my understanding the overview settings are stored client-side and the code update did not recognize the pre-patch settings. The Devs are aware of this and looking into how to resolve this. I do not know if the pre-patch settings are going to be restored or if they are gone. Tomorrow's changes: No changes to game play are being made with this update. The server-side changes deal with the internal server interface, such as GM access to the billing system. Game fixes: We are looking at Tuesday, 29 August for a patch to the client. More information will be available in the future. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online

Thx for the extra info You'd be supprised how much we like to know whats going on. I know its "just a game" but sometimes the players feel lost and confused when some change/bug hits and we're like wtf. The more informed we are the better it is for us Thx again and good luck with fixing the server side issues.

crazod Gallente	Posted - 2006.08.24 23:24:00 - [29] They dont rest for long these guys eh...thats one of the things i like about this game its always changing.

kieron	Posted - 2006.08.25 00:16:00 - [30] Bad news, or good news depending on your viewpoint. The extended downtime I announced is not being deployed tomorrow. The patch did not perform well during testing, so we are going to test further and deploy after the weekend. kieron Community Manager, EVE Online
