Created a petition last night, however no reponse prior to logging out. Mining lasers currently run a full "active" cycle even if you deactivate by clicking on them. Activate state holds true even when leaving the belt through warp.

I was using the deep modulated mining laser II on a Hulk if more information is required.

This issue was fixed in today's update

Still crashing when going into character creator

What about the fittings browser being screwy and not working right? Didn't see a thing about it in the patch notes today.

Client start-up time increased by about 20 seconds (from the splash screen to login). Tried it at multiple machines, and it all takes significantly more time to load. Maybe someone can look into optimizing the client startup process?

Since the 1.4 patch, my EVE doesn't display the colored dots for the current waypoint route any longer. Waypoints are set and used correctly, the waypoint list itself is working, too, but under the "Route: (x jumps)" part in the HUD there is nothing shown. The mouseover on those positions works, though - I get the single systems shown there, however I need to take guesses as I can't see them. Please re-add them.
Win7 x64, core i5 750, 8GB RAM, ATI 4870 (with current drivers) here.

Rastlor, you're two minutes too late :)

And I've got an issue with the new forums. Using Chrome (11), when I middle click to open a link in a new tab, it opens the link in the new tab AND in the current tab

Science & Industry - To-Date Glitch

If you open the Science & Industry Tab, there is - by default - the current date entered in the "to date" text-box.

The Idea is "good" (just see, whats already finished) BUT: If something has finished TODAY - it won't be shown, too.
(i guess, the "Date" 2011.04.07 is assumed as 2011.04.07 00:00 which wouldn't make sence...)

Thank you, we are looking into this.

Thanks for pointing this out. This has been fixed internally and will be released in a later patch

Any word on whether or not the ECM "perma-jam" some of us are experiencing is "working as intended" or a "bonus feature"?

If it's an intended feature, it's going to be a major detractor for anyone running anomalies solo. I don't know what Guristas missions are like in Empire, but I know the ECM is alive and well in northern 0.0 with a fury I've never seen before. Tengu + Dissolution Sequencer + ECCM stays permajammed for the first wave of a station Sanctum. I don't run anoms often (maybe once or twice a week at most) when I need a bit of extra liquid isk. When I do, I use a dual Tengu / Gila team to do it, assigning drones to the Tengu. Turns out that unless I send the Gila in first to take the ECM aggro, the Tengu with it's ridiculously high sensor strength is permajammed until those cruisers are eliminated. There's no way there could be such a permanent jam happening without a bug. The statistical mathematics of the jam formula, even taking the random number into accout, say it's impossible unless it's bugged.

So in the end, this doesn't affect me much at all as I have a workaround, but I do hope it gets addressed, as it's a real pain in the ass for people in general.

TIP OF THE DAY FOR CCP: If it's not broken, don't f@#ck with it.

Not just Chrome. Forcing to a new tab in Firefox does the same thing. Probably some onclick intercept not properly set up, which also means superfluous code to get a Web browser to do what it would have done anyway.

My only experience with it yesterday was in a L4 mission against Guristas. In the 4th pocket, i hit a spawn with 4 Dire Gurista Despoilers and 4 Pithi Exterminators. I was 95% perma-jammed. I had company along, so it wasn't as horrible as it could have been, but, i agree, the formula listed on the EVElopedia page suggests the chance of them successfully jamming me for that long in a battleship is highly unlikely.

Yeah. I can't remember offhand what my sensor strength is, but it's in the 40s, which is ridiculously hard to jam. A well skilled Falcon pilot with 3 racial ECMs modules only stands a 62% chance of jamming me at all with this fit, and it's been tested. Yet, the rats are getting a successful jam every time means there's something really wrong.

What is up with the suspisciously erratic loadtime of the client?

Sometimes it just sits there with the spash screen for 5-10 seconds.
It is a network thing? The CPU, disk and network is otherwise unoccupied.
Tried opening and closing the client 12 times, none of them felt like they were taking the same time.

And O M G, the cpu use of the browser (firefox) while typing in this box. Jumps up and down with 15%-20% spikes, then settles down then you take break from typing.
For comparison, massive spammy junktyping in wordpad can only bring it to 3%. Weird script **** must be going on.
Massive spammy junktyping here: brings a core up to 35% load.

And typing in other places on the net (blogs), does not present near the load that is going on here.

btw goddam, that is one long string. <input type="hidden" name="__VIEWSTATE" id="__VIEWSTATE" value="blabbla2mileslong".
That line (including tags) was 13433 chars long. What the hell is that.

Yep having the same issues with typing causing load on here. Maybe I type too fast ^_^

The Viewstate thing is a Microsoft .Net method of persisting the state of form controls. If they don't want to store it on their server then they pass it down to us in the shape of that hidden input field. Share the love.

Jesus. I just profiled this page in Firebug. It looks, to me, like the delays are caused in part by Firefox spending 25% of its time running a jQuery function called href, and also by the extreme number of AJAX postbacks that are going on. It looks like the typing window sends all that Viewstate back every 15 seconds with an average of 250ms roundtrip.

I assume this is because it's trying to autosave a copy of these precious words. And waste both CCP's and my bandwidth.

CCP - Please use a Javascript profiler like FIrebug for Firefox to show how much extra traffic/work is being produced! JQuery is great, AJAX is great, but you've gone a bit mental on them here!

And make my ship hover again, damn it.

I have been experiencing frequent crash-to-desktops since 1.4.1.
...stuff...

Which OS?

Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit)

You are lucky then.

W7 Pro 64 here, I can't even install....
1.4 wouldn't install
1.4patch to build 081, no install, 1.4.1 no install.

I gave up after nearly 3 days of trying.

I couldn't get anything running anymore either.
Just go ahead and deinstall everything eve related with constant restarts inbetween,
and download and install the full client. You may want to backup setting and cache though first, just incase.

When you 'transfer money to' between wallet divisions, the amount field is no longer highlighted. This means you need to do extra clicks before you can type an amount. It has not worked like this in the past.

Same with 'give money' to another character or entity.

The mini portrait of your own character has a lower quality than everyone else in the channels; both in the main message aswell as in the right sidebar

It appears if you have Load Station Environment unchecked then the character editor doesn't come up correctly. All you see is your ship and the eye's, hair, makeup, etc options.

Having problems with sound and EVE voice that came with the 1.4.1 patch. It worked fine before!
When using EVE Voice, having the push-to-talk-button assigned to middle mouse-button, when releasing the button after having said something intelligent in fleet voice (....) the sound from the client just goes dead. No sound at all. If i press ESC and then ESC again, the sound returns. When EVE-voicing again, the sound disappears after releasing the push-to-talk-button. And so on...

I have the settings under "audio chat" set like this:
Eve voice enabled = on
mute sounds when i talk = off
Mute sounds when others talk = off
enable channel priority muting = off

Should I file a bug report for this CCP? Or are you aware of the problem allready?

Well, typing this a second time in TextPad now, was partway through typing just now I got "we were ganked" forum error page appear while I was typing mid-sentence - wtf?
Had this been a long message I would not be happy about losing all the typing to forum weirdness...
