Tolas Aerthyrian Sovereignty	Posted - 2007.11.22 16:23:00 - [1] Edited by: Tolas on 22/11/2007 16:24:09 Browsing these forums I see way too many thread asking the same things over and over. So here it is, an attempt to answer them and reduce the number of times people start new threads to ask the same exact thing. TRINITY FAQ 1) What is Trinity? Trinity is the next patch scheduled to be released this winter that will add more game content and an upgraded client with improved performance and graphics. Full details on the patch can be found at the Official Trinity Website 2) When will Trinity be launched? There is no official launch date for Trinity. CCP has said "This Winter" or "SoonÖ" 3) Do I need to upgrade my pc or video card? No, but if you want to play the game with the updated graphics models and your current video card does not support Shader Model 3, then you would need to upgrade to one that does have that support. Again it is NOT necessary to upgrade hardware to continue to play EVE. If you have a DX8 card you DO need to upgrade your version of DirectX to 9.0c in order to play after Trinity, but your DX8 card will still work. 4) What are the requirements for Trinity? Trinity requires you to have a video card that Supports DirectX 9.0c and Shader Model 3.0 *5) Will my insert card here* work with the new Trinity models? The easiest way to check this is to use the TOOL provided by CCP to check your video card for support. You can also read Bombcrater's Guide To SM3 Part 1 - Do I Have It?, since he was good enough to provide some very good info on the subject, or check your card manufacturer's site for detailed specs on your card. 6) I heard we need DX10 to run EVE when Trinity comes out, is that True? Absolutely not. It uses DirectX 9.0c. The Devs have mentioned working on a DirectX 10 version of the client but that is NOT being released with Trinity. DirectX 10 is Vista only and you do NOT need Either to play EVE now or when Trinity launches. 7) What is the deal with all these version of the client people are talking about? What CCP has said is, there will be 2 Versions of the client: DirectX 9.0c NO shader model 3 which will be the current client with all the new content using the SAME MODELS that you see now DirectX 9.0c WITH shader model 3 support which will be the client with all the new game content using the NEW models, shading and lighting Originally by:** CCP 2kay There will be two editions of the EVE client now, Trinity Classic with the old content, a more compact download which everyone will be able to run and Trinity, the upgraded client with the new content that utilizes the new graphics engine to its full potential. The latter will be a much larger download, so we will start by patching your existing Revelations II client to Trinity Classic. This will allow you to start playing immediately after we launch Trinity. After the Trinity Classic patch has been downloaded, the client will check your system to see if it supports the requirements to use the new content and if so we will offer to start the download in the background. Again, this will allow you to start playing immediately after Trinity's deployment and not have to wait for the new content to complete downloading. Finally, this will not force users who do not have systems that do not meet the requirements to download unneeded files. Read more about the Patch & Download process Feel free to correct anything that I may have gotten wrong or add anything I missed. Mods/CCP please Sticky this if you feel it merits it :)

While the new graphics engine is on Singularity, it DOES NOT INCLUDE the new graphics, models etc. Its also on a new mirror. New ships / scripts are not currently seeded. Also, PLEASE for the love of whatever you hold dear, USE FORUM SEARCH FUNCTION before you go asking what other have already asked.

Kodiak31415 An Eye For An Eye Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.11.24 01:13:00 - [11] Originally by: Cailais New ships / scripts are not currently seeded. They are now seeded, at least in FD-MLJ. May also be worth pointing out that although there is an option to download "new graphic content" on the Singularity log in screen and in the singularity options menu this feature is currently disabled and does nothing. Nice job by the OP, maybe next time I'll use the search function to find this sort of thing before drunk failposting. _______________________________ Pleese exucse any seplling erorr's in tihs psot

All the new stuffs(scrips, all t2 ships) are seeded in the FD-MLJ system. You can get there moved by devs, all u have to do is to join the channel "moveme" in game and wait to get moved, or if there is no dev online u can simply fly there.

CCP Atropos	Posted - 2007.11.25 17:41:00 - [19] Well I could tell you. But then I'd have to kill you... This thread is a good resource for all those oft asked questions about Trinity, and having the gold bars simply entices people in here more.

Reiisha Splint Eye Probabilities Inc.	Posted - 2007.11.25 23:00:00 - [23] Maybe you should also add another point. I'm hearing a lot of people saying that they have old pc's, and can't access the new ships etc 'because their PC can't handle the new client'. Might be a good idea to add that you can access all new content with the old client aswell, and that it's not exclusive to people using the new graphics. EVE History Wiki

Sinistro	Posted - 2007.11.26 08:19:00 - [25] Originally by: Tolas 2) When will Trinity be launched? There is no official launch date for Trinity. CCP has said "This Winter" or "SoonÖ" [b] I hope VERY soon and that it will fix this constant crashing runtime error as wel, because this way there is no way to play eve and if Trinity takes still some weeks to come out that I hope for a fix patch on this constant crashing. I hope you guys dont mind mentioning this runtime error crashing here because we dont get any response on the treads about this any that ccp is working on it a week ago.
Jamie Hara Caldari	Posted - 2007.11.26 14:59:00 - [26] Will you update the sound engine for Trinity? What kind of surround sound will Trinity support? Will you update any sound assets for Trinity? (The warp sound, gun sounds, etc.)
gordon861 Minmatar Head Insurance Services	Posted - 2007.11.26 15:31:00 - [27] As we have a dev responding in here perhaps they can answer this : Will we be able to run the old client and the new enhanced client on the same PC at the same time ? A lot of people use their second account to haul/support their main account either on a second screen or in a window behind the main client so it would be a waste to use the enhanced graphics on the second client. Would be much better to use all your PCs gfx power on the main screen/client only. Originally by: CCP Arkanon I frown on employees being power players to the extent that their gameplay results in any sort of domination over others. I donÆt believe CCP employees should run the EVE universe.
iNFyza Gallente The Kanunu Mining Corp	Posted - 2007.11.26 16:02:00 - [28] I have a Radion X800, it supports DX9.0c, but it only supports up to Shader 2.0. Can I not run Trinity at all? Or can I still run it, but just not use the features that Shader v3 offer? My specs: Intel Core2duo E420 Radion X800 2Gigs of DDR2 Thanks :)

Can I not run Trinity at all? Or can I still run it, but just not use the features that Shader v3 offer? My specs: Intel Core2duo E420 Radion X800 2Gigs of DDR2 Thanks :) 1. please read the FAQ before posting dumb questions. in answer... Originally by: "Tolas" DirectX 8 which will be the current client with all the new content using the SAME MODELS that you see now DirectX 9.0c WITH shader model 3 support which will be the client with all the new game content using the NEW models, shading and lighting remember, DirectX 8 games work with DirectX 9.0c. It's called something called backwards compatability. so you will obviously still be able to play if you can play now (and i assume you can :p)
iNFyza Gallente The Kanunu Mining Corp	Posted - 2007.11.26 20:17:00 - [30] Ok, so I will be able to see the new models and new fancy graphics, but I will only be able to use the shading quality that Shader version 2 offers me? The reason im concerned is due to me buying the latest Colin M rally game, it requires shader Version 3. I cant even start that game before it getting an error stating "Your card does not support Shader 3."

Moizo Species 5618 R0ADKILL	Posted - 2007.11.26 22:34:00 - [32] Edited by: Moizo on 26/11/2007 22:35:32 No, without shader 3.0 the fancy stuff wont work, youll need a new card, ive myself traded in my old X800XL for a new, but cheap 8400GS or whatever, with shader 3.0 and 256mb, 512shared (or osmething like that) for a louzy 49euros/dollars And thanks alot for the thread, finally i know its NOT trinity coming out tomorrow but some patch for mac os x and linux:P
Haurian Zealot	Posted - 2007.11.26 22:44:00 - [33] just to make it clear: if your card supports shader model 3, you get all the fancy new artwork. (i.e. ships will look different to what they do now) if it doesnt, you still get all the new content like new ships and drones, as well as the new engine, but with the current artwork. (ships will look the same as they do at the moment) IMHO, if youve got another game that requires SM3.0, then i'd go ahead and buy a new card and enjoy all the sparkly new graphics

EvilSpork Blackguard Brigade Aftermath Alliance	Posted - 2007.11.27 20:41:00 - [36] what happened to the november 27th date announced at fanfest and in the quarterly economic newsletter?
Gamer Maximus	Posted - 2007.11.28 07:07:00 - [37] they lied :D On a side note, for those of you running PCI-E, you can buy a NVIDIA 8600 (supports DX10/SM3) for about $120. For those of you with AGP (and who don't want new computers), there is a NVIDIA 7600 for AGP (supports SM3, not DX10) for about $150 (AGP is dead, so prices are high). You can get a cheap SM3 card for under $50 if you want one as a holdover, although high-end cards are cheap right now...

Queen Killerz	Posted - 2007.11.28 22:20:00 - [46] Trinity is here awesome. But something tells me POWER of TWO will become POWER of ONE. Just trying to get the correct information and I believe I heard it on EVE TV. But CCP will continue to run both clients? So people with multiple account will continue use them? I hope so because! I will probably run Trinity on the days I'm not running my own little EMPIRE.
HUGO DRAX DRAX INDUSTRIES	Posted - 2007.11.29 04:14:00 - [47] What about Mac folk? Will the Trinity client work on OS X or will I need to bootcamp?

Znurf Endgame.	Posted - 2007.11.29 06:51:00 - [48] I have a question, you say that you need DX9 version etc etc etc But, for those that HAS DX10 and vista, will those people gain anything extra? Or is there no support for DX10 and all that fancy stuff (yet?)? You only (atleast me) hear stuff about how DX9 users will get it to work TOO :P This might already have been answered but i couldnt find anything about it in this thread :P --

Repeal Day is also December 5th, it will be hard to enjoy all the new toys while I am sloshed drunk. Maybe the 6th would be better, give us a day to sober up... In the Netherlands and Belgium 5th of december is the commemoration of St. Nicholas (yes, one of the figures behind Santa Claus, serving pretty much the same purpose except he wears a bishop's mitre). This makes the launch of Trinity strangely appropriate at that date. Some wonderful presents laying in wait with that patch.....

2George Caldari Radical Fighters	Posted - 2007.11.30 12:29:00 - [53] Edited by: 2George on 30/11/2007 12:30:55 Edited by: 2George on 30/11/2007 12:28:54 on eve trinity features site, in one of the interviews it's said that this graphic update is just a part of it. And that more graphic updates is coming with next big patch (aka trinity II)? it would be nice to know what else do you have planned for this next graphic update? in interviews it was said effects and some 200more models (if i remember right). although i'm wondering what goes under the effects and those 200models? I really hope somewhere in there are: -much more detailed planets (at least theirs texture if not a bit of mountains or some huge crater on moons too,..). And shadows of a planet effecting everything in its shadow. stations and ships in planets shadow should be in the dark, and planets rings (if it has one) too,... -and nebulaes (background), i think they need some loving too. dunno maybe make em as a huge object that would change as you warp through system, or at least make them more detailed. -and plenty more: remodeled guns (frigate guns are way too big compared to the ship itself...), maybe visible missile launchers and rockets actually launching from them instead of middle of the ship,... anyways, great work on trinity so far, just keep it up that way
Castelo Branco Caldari The Undertakers Brutally Clever Empire	Posted - 2007.11.30 12:57:00 - [54] Well, I would like to know if will be a Full Premiun Client availble for download (and when) or the new grafics will be download only with bits? Bits is bad for me, and I realy would like to get a new premiun full client to install.. Tks.
Tolas Aerthyrian Sovereignty	Posted - 2007.11.30 13:50:00 - [55] Originally by: Znurf for those that HAS DX10 and vista, will those people gain anything extra? No DX10 is fully backward compatible with DX9. This means that when the expansion launches, if you card supports SM3 (which I am pretty sure all DX10 cards do) you will get the same graphical advantages as someone running XP with DX9 and SM3. Vista & DX10 do nothing at all extra. There has been talk of a DX10 client but from what I have heard it will not happen until at least next year at the earliest. ___________________________________________________ "In the beginning the Universe was created.

Rosa Rosette	Posted - 2007.12.02 14:31:00 - [57] ok... just call me slow or an utter idiot. for some reason i am still confused. so, classic (which i will have to run till i get some more RL iskies) does not include the new models?
Tolas Aerthyrian Sovereignty	Posted - 2007.12.02 15:19:00 - [58] Originally by: Rosa Rosette ok... just call me slow or an utter idiot. for some reason i am still confused. so, classic (which i will have to run till i get some more RL iskies) does not include the new models? Classic will use the DX8 rendering path for the models, premium will use the DX9 rendering path with Shader Model 3. I believe the models are the same in both, just the textures, lighting, shading, etc... (the fancy stuff) will only be available in the premium. The classic will have the same look about the same as it does now, same models just not as pretty and no HDR. ___________________________________________________ "In the beginning the Universe was created.

Not necessarily, but the devs did mention (patch notes? dev blog? I forgot the actual reference) being in contact with the main killboard maintainers, so you should be able to get an update/upgrade for your favourite killboard if it turns out to be incompatible.

Grismar Gallente The Establishment Establishment	Posted - 2007.12.04 09:08:00 - [65] Since it seems (from CCP's explanation of the patch process) that going to the new client is a one-way trip, I would recommend keeping a copy of the old install and upgrading that to Trinity Classic. My system supports all the new eye candy, but having a client that will run with performance that may just give me the edge in a fight, especially when running 3 clients at once, could be a good idea. Having 6 installs of EVE on my hard drive is a bit of a pain, but EVE's worth it, right? ^^ Greetings, Grismar. Your EVE IGB home: EVE Wiki, Explorer, Navigator

You can switch between the classic and premium graphic modes within the client in the graphics options settings tab in the ESC menue. No need for separate installs. ...

Ogul Caldari ZiTek Deepspace Explorations Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.12.06 08:45:00 - [69] I'm not really interested in even shinier models and effects (and never mind the download on my capped connection), so do I need to go premium (terrible name btw) for the engine to take advantage of my GPU or not? --- This is a war declaration, issued from your alt corp. It is used to gank people in high sec.
Rob Winters	Posted - 2007.12.06 17:53:00 - [70] I Downloaded the Trinity patch through the old client shortly after if finnished being released, then when I ran the client (after th 4am danger cut off, besides I have Vista on this lappy so I'm safe anyway) once the clinet confermed my lppy was compatable with the premium I started to back ground down load that. Once done I installed it, logged into game and was greated be the awsome graphic of my re-rendered ship and the interior of the station. However, once I un-docked all objects outside, the station, my ship, everything but the back grounds was white, and after a few moments Vista kicked in and shut the game down, stating that my EVE.exe stopped working properly. I was able to log back in and quickly re-dock my ship before Vista could kick back in and again and shut it down, so at least I can still log in and switch skills. Is this a corrupted file? A common glitch which has a fix? I don't want to remove EVE and down load the full premium client if mine can be corrected. Any help would be great :)

princess katie	Posted - 2007.12.07 07:38:00 - [72] This may be a really dumb question, but since its the week for stupid errors I thought I would just ask , given the complete and utter incompidence of CCP in their last patch and the time it has taken to semi fix also the total lack of communication for hours (which could of stopped many people from closing down their computers) and for some of us its still a problem, as their machines are in the shops being looked at or they are in bits on desks. After all this time and all this work and all this heart ache may I ask where are the new ships?
Rob Winters	Posted - 2007.12.07 10:56:00 - [73] Right, have now un-installed EVE and downloaded the premium client, installed and run and I have the exact same problem as described in my previouse post. Is this Vista or is my Laptop just missing something that the compatability check failed to notice? I've herd other Vista users are having no problems so if anyone could shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? Keeps saying CCP eve Exe file failed to work properly and I can't make Vista leave it alone.

Sound like something specific to your machine or OS install. I would post in the support forums about your issue. ___________________________________________________ "In the beginning the Universe was created.
