CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.08.31 13:59:00 - [1] I know I promised to have a second email out early this week but due to the patch, some other project and getting some resources setup this has been delayed. I now have the forums created that we will be using, testing servers are being configured. I am still waiting on some additional tester information from our partners. Once that is done and the new builds are in then it will be ready to go. I will send you all a new email early next week with the updated timelines (though they still might get some other adjustments). To all of those that missed the signup, I'm sorry but our 'roster' is full. There will be a further section to the beta progranm once we have the closed beta completed so you have not completely missed out. I will also try to keep you all updated on our progress so that you can see what is coming. Thanks again. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.09.17 09:27:00 - [2] OK Update Time!!!11ElevenOne. I am waiting for the latest build to come through and as soon as it does I will be posting it up on our download service and sending out the link. No there is no NDA as there is nothing 'new' in this client that is not in the current client. Testers are free to discuss there 'experience' with others we just remind them that they have been asked to help us find any bugs that are left (and I am sure they will find some) so that we can fix them before we open the software up for anyone to look at. Any other Questions? CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.09.18 09:22:00 - [3] Originally by: Amaratha Edited by: Amaratha on 17/09/2007 17:21:56 Damn those slow folk @ Transgaming Prod them with a stick and gets us some beta time Lingorm My Clock is currently saying its officially "Later O Clock" Even closer update! [11:40:19] <Lingorm> Mini, I am expecting the client today, and if it p[asses the tests will by added to the download service and made available to the testers later today. ATM I'm guessing it failed a test pout It didn't arrive. i am trying to chase TG at the moment. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.09.19 09:12:00 - [4] State Of Play. We had to do a new build to exclude the 'Microsoft' files from our client build so that it can be legally distributed. I am now in the process of getting this build to TG for them to wrap it. Will update with ETA on the installer when I know it. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.09.20 15:35:00 - [5] Update. Just got off the phone with Transgaming. Some small issues with the MS-less build that we are taking care of. You will not need to copy ant of the files over as transgaming provide their own implementations of them in the environment. We are just going through ans seeing what is needed and what is not needed to make sure that things are all good. Sorry for the run around on this and I hope to have better news for you early next week. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.09.27 16:05:00 - [6] Edited by: CCP Lingorm on 27/09/2007 16:13:53 Fanfare Client builds are going through the final test at Transgaming. I will be downloading them overnight and tomorrow morning (all things going well). I will be sending out an email to the Beta testers tomorrow with instructions on the program and access information to the test server that will be used. The client itself will be available for download on Monday for you all to have at it. We only have 2 small issues that are not show stoppers. These are : Crash on Quit on the Mac client (does not seem to corrupt any files so we are going ahead) JPEG Scaling (some avatars are missing some decorations) There you have it. We are going ahead and you should all be testing happily next week. I am still organizing extra forum access to record your findings. We will also be running at least 2 patch tests during the Beta program so be aware that you will be required to patch the beta to test the patching system. EDIT : We are already working with Transgaming on the new features coming in Trinity 2 and making sure that everything will be supported on the different clients. We are also trying to plan some EVE on alternate platform stuff for Fanfest, but this has not been confirmed yet. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.09.27 16:49:00 - [7] Windowed mode is disabled in the EVE client on Mac and Linux but the Transgaming wrapper has window control. So you set the EVE Client to the Resolution you want than then resize the Window via the Transgaming tools. I will find out about the Anti-aliasing. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.09.28 09:48:00 - [8] I would love to let more people in but our test server will only handle a certain amount of load. There will be an Open Beta following the Closed beta but the details of that are still being decided. As an UPDATE I have the Mac installer. Expecting the Linux installer later today. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.09.28 14:46:00 - [9] We have tested the mac client and it looks good. Still got a few things to test with the Linux client. I am delaying my email till monday due to some support systems no being ready. But the files will be ready to go then and all you testers can have at it. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.01 13:39:00 - [10] Mail Sent with instructions and the link to the Mac download. Will email again with the link to the Linux version when it has passed the internal check and has been uploaded to the download service. Have fun Mac Testers. Linux Testers soon I promise. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader



CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.01 15:16:00 - [11] Edited by: CCP Lingorm on 01/10/2007 15:17:25 OK people. maybe I did not put in in the email clear enough. You need to wait for the client to get it's status information from Tranquility (Incompatible Protocol) and THEN enter the test server IP and move out of the server box. The client will THEN get the connection information from the test server and you should be able to log in. We are aware of the Crash on Quit issue and it only applies to the Log in screen on the Mac (we are hoping to get a fix soon) but it was deemed acceptable to continue with that issue. There is also an image scaling issue with portraits but it is graphical only. PS I has the Linux clients. Am uploading them as I type ...

CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.01 17:18:00 - [12] There was an error in the IP Address I gave you. Updated email sent out with the Correct IP address for the Test Server. Sorry for the Confusion. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.02 09:06:00 - [13] There was an issue with the script that created the account. It added some numbers to the passwords. Please email me and I will send you your passwords for the test server. For your information when submitting bugs the build number of this client is : 37464 CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.02 09:51:00 - [14] Linux client should be up for download later today (GMT). CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.02 10:22:00 - [15] You bad bad people ..... you broke it grin Test server rebooting. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.02 10:31:00 - [16] We have worked hard internally and the closed beta is more of a sanity check of the client. We are still confirming final Dates for release but we will be having an Open Beta Phase, which will be run against Tranquility. My estimate is that you should see full support for this on tranquility in a couple of weeks and full availability soon after that. But please do not quote me on it, these are my guesses not confirmed facts. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.02 12:19:00 - [17] I am getting a couple of questions about travelling. The test server loads systems 'On demand' not at startup. This means that there could be delays on moving/jumping/gating into a system. Just wait a couple of minutes for the system to load and try again. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.03 10:04:00 - [18] Some days you can't win. I have just been informed that we have had a fan failure on the testing server that we are using for the Test Server. it now keeps overheating and shutting down. We are organising a replacement ASAP and I will let you know how we are going with that as SOON as I have news. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.03 11:18:00 - [19] The Linux Client is up and ready to go, but I am waiting to send out instructions till we have the server replaced. Should still be today though. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.03 15:59:00 - [20] Email Sent. Linux install is now available. Have fun and remember that this is not a high spec server and if you ALL log in at once then it will lag, so please be gentle. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader



CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.10 10:01:00 - [21] I have been organising getting transgaming onto these forums so that they can take your feedback directly and directly respond. So very soon (tm) you will be seeing some Dev's in the C C P corp with names like TG xxxx. These are the Transgaming developers. I will let them introduce themselves to you when they log in. We have also hired a couple of new developers up here that have Linux experience and expect them to chime in with suggestions as well. They are CCP Sputnik (who works for me in the QA Engineering team) and CCP EinarTh (who works for CCP Explorer in the EVE software group). We will soon be moving this trial to a larger server and opening it up to more people. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.15 15:08:00 - [22] We are shifting things to a new server as the other one was required for some other testing. Accounts have had most testing roles removed and will be completely closed out in the next couple of days. You will then be able to use you rnormal accounts on the new server as it will have a mirror of TQ (no more than a couple of months old). Should have sent this out sooner, but I have been sick and not a work, so my apologies for the delay in this information. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.18 13:42:00 - [23] We are already in talks with Transgaming around the SM3 issue and hope to have good news on that front soon(tm). While it may not be supported initially Transgaming are hoping to to support it asap and are already developing other parts of their engine to support the other functions that are coming with EVE:Trinity like the improved IO stream (asynchronous). CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader


CCP Lingorm	Posted - 2007.10.25 08:56:00 - [24] We are running some formal tests at the moment. We will soon be making the client available for public testing on one of the test servers. Will update you with dates as I know them. CCP Lingorm CCP Quality Assurance QA Engineering Team Leader
