Todd Doughnut	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:26:00 - [1] Im sick of downloading a whole new client, Copying it and reconfiguring both to work together. Cant these patches actually work as advertised for once, instead of just autobreaking your client?

CCP Casqade	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:30:00 - [2] How is it breaking your client? More information is needed.

Todd Doughnut	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:38:00 - [3] I downloaded the patch, Hit apply. Nothing happened. I assumed it was working away. About 25 minutes later I had to force quit EVE because it was doing nothing and the system said it was "unresponsive". Restarted. Launched eve - nothing happens. Now waiting 1hr 44 minutes for new client to download.

CCP Casqade	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:56:00 - [4] Do you know what time you started downloading the patch?

Indus Cuhler	Posted - 2008.11.27 15:59:00 - [5] Edited by: Indus Cuhler on 27/11/2008 15:59:44 It doesn't help. I installed the patch, the game won't start. Uninstalled, downloaded entire client again, reinstalled. Nothing ... It's listed as running in the dock, but you don't even get the splash screen ... Is there some debug output I turn on and send a log to you guys? - Did all this just now i.e. within the last hour...

And since it seems to have made my client start in full screen again I had to hard power down my machine since I couldn't get to finder to forceably quit it. Lovely - excellent testing yet again from CCP !
Claudia Forbes Amarr The United Black Watch	Posted - 2008.11.27 16:17:00 - [7] Same problem here, downloading and patching went seemingly smooth, but ever since that client is no longer working. Program seems to start up and then is shown in the dock as an active program, but it never appears on screen, i just look at my desktop. Reinstalling didnt fix the problem, so i guess you really screwed up the mac client. And since it only affects one of my iMacs and not the other, i guess it is bug specific to certain cpus / graphic cards.

Interesting ... which one doesn't work ... I'm on a Macbook Pro with an nVidia 8600MGT

I'm on a Macbook Pro with an nVidia 8600MGT The computer on which Eve does NOT run is a 24" iMac with 3.06 GHz and Nvidia GeForce 8800 GS The one where Eve runs fine is a 20" iMac with 2.66 GHz and ATI Radeon HD 2600 Pro
old grisley	Posted - 2008.11.27 16:29:00 - [10] Same here. Logged on this morning, eve said need patch, download now? I said sure. It downloaded, said now we will close eve and apply patch. It did (although it never did close eve btw). So I closed eve and opened it again, nothing, client starts no game screen. Eve menu is up but no game screen. So, I redownloaded patch from site and same thing happened. So, I redownloaded entire game and same thing happened. So now I sit here and play call of duty 4 because I cant get the eve client to work. Would be nice to be doing missions right now.
old grisley	Posted - 2008.11.27 16:31:00 - [11] BTW, I have exactly the same issue as Claudia, same imac 24". WHile I do have a 20" imac, it is my wife's and she is using it so I won't be loading eve on it. Get this guys, the system Claudia says does not work is correct, the 24" with that graphics card DOES NOT RUN EVE NOW.

Todd Doughnut	Posted - 2008.11.27 16:33:00 - [13] Ditto same mac as claudia - 24" imac 3.06 ghz with an 8800. Im training Carrier V so if you can have this fixed by Q2 2009 that would be sweet.
Todd Doughnut	Posted - 2008.11.27 16:36:00 - [14] btw responding to Casquade - I started dl,ing at approximately 3.15pm GMT.
Sophie Daigneau Risky Advanced Production Enterprises GoonSwarm	Posted - 2008.11.27 17:07:00 - [15] When I try to run the auto patcher it asks me to change the permissions for several files, then asks for the admin password to do so. I click ok on this, and after another minute I get the same message, with the patch never actually taking place. I'm a relatively new mac convert, so if anyone has an idea what I'm doing wrong, you'll probably need to spell it out pretty clearly for me. Thanks.
Todd Doughnut	Posted - 2008.11.27 17:17:00 - [16] Edited by: Todd Doughnut on 27/11/2008 17:17:05 It shouldnt be happening at all. Mac Patch seems to be majorly borked for 24inch Imac owners. Will be heading home soon to test on my macpro tower. Gulp! fingers crossed.

CCP Casqade	Posted - 2008.11.27 17:24:00 - [17] Those of you who are experiencing issues, please send a bug report detailing what client you patched from, what version of Cider you had, what Mac you have.

old grisley	Posted - 2008.11.27 17:34:00 - [18] Cascade, I sent a bug report with my computer profile, don't know how to tell which cider I have and I have already re-downloaded the whole eve client (to no avail), so don't have the client info you want. But you should know that even with the latest (from your web site) client, it still opens to a menu bar, but does not go further = no logon screen. Mac is not locked up, can still do stuff, but eve no run.
Kirkus Jameus Amarr hidden claws	Posted - 2008.11.27 17:50:00 - [19] Bug report filed. =================== Seriously borked up now. 1. Station graphics went screwy. Had to edit config file again. 2. F1-F8 no longer function to fire weapons. 3. Escape key no longer escapes to the settings screen. 4. Hot keys for engaging targets with drones or recalling them do not function at all 5. Cant type in chat window. On the positive side, eve voice still works. ARGH! KJ 17 iMac, 1.83ghz, 2gb, ATI X1600 sorry for cross-post. wanted to make sure someone at ccp saw this.
old grisley	Posted - 2008.11.27 17:54:00 - [20] I just received an email from [email protected]. They thanked me for the bug report but said the following :"Hello oldgrisley, Thank you for your bugreport - ID:66272 Title: mac client wont load logon screen Unfortunately, your bugreport contained insufficient information to be of any use. Please review this thread for further information on submitting bugreports. Your bugreport has been filtered. The BugHunter Team" But they did send me a link to a revert patch they want me to test so I am doing that now. I will post after trying it.
Aviaden	Posted - 2008.11.27 17:58:00 - [21] My iMac does work. Haven't tried a mission with the new patch, but ran around the universe 50 jumps or so. Did a lot of docking and un-docking, buying and selling. Not a single problem. iMac 24"; 2.8GHz; 465GB Hard drive; 4 GB RAM; ATI HD2600 GPU. Leopard 10.5.5
old grisley	Posted - 2008.11.27 18:00:00 - [22] The revert patch works. Am now in game.
Xuan Loc	Posted - 2008.11.27 18:01:00 - [23] I think the fact that there isn't a single person in the Mac OS channel in EVE (except an alt of mine using a PC) should tell CCP that something is VERY seriously wrong. In an npc corp channel only one MAC client user admitted to being online.
Ehata	Posted - 2008.11.27 18:02:00 - [24] Please send me the link of the revert patch, I have the same problem as well. Originally by: old grisley The revert patch works. Am now in game.
Xuan Loc	Posted - 2008.11.27 18:04:00 - [25] Just checked my system, it is the same as Claudia's.

Claudia Forbes Amarr The United Black Watch	Posted - 2008.11.27 18:09:00 - [27] Originally by: old grisley The revert patch works. Am now in game. Could i please get the link to the patch that fixed it ?

CCP Casqade	Posted - 2008.11.27 18:09:00 - [28] Originally by: Pohbis Originally by: Shin Chogan Edited by: Shin Chogan on 27/11/2008 16:13:19 Mac Client broken after patching or full fresh install ! Just get blank screen, and have to force quit the application ! Well done you've just made me have to hard power off my laptop ... the first time in about 6 months ! This has happened since 2 patches ago. It has something to do with fullscreen mode, since setting "Desktop" to Y in the conf-file, to get window mode, fixes this. Apple+Return doesn't tho. Can those of you who have problems, please try this first. I want to know if this is the reason why it is failing. If this doesn't resolve it I'll post the revert patch.

Xuan Loc	Posted - 2008.11.27 18:14:00 - [29] Re OS X channel ... apologies, i was looking at a dud channel.

CCP Casqade	Posted - 2008.11.27 18:17:00 - [30] I have posted the revert patch here: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=934908&page=1#1
