EVE Online Dev Tracker

We are planning on upgrading soon (tm! ha!) - And you are right, this is one of several DB boxes we’ll be evaluating to see which direction we should be going.

Do we want hundreds of low clock speed cores, or mere dozens of high clock speed cores.

And speaking of speed… today was our first automated DT since putting this AMD box into production mid week, and not surprising, it is our fastest DT in over 4 years!

I’d be curious to know if you get the same issue with the sound disabled?
I’m not aware of anything new in the fix which would cause a drop in performance, but sound in general is a bit expensive.

Hi all

A patch was deployed yesterday that should have fixed the sound issues.

If you’re still having any issues, it’s likely unrelated to this defect. Please create a ticket so we can take a closer look.

Many thanks

Thanks for the feedback, we’ll check this out.

Hey!

A new mirror is being deployed to Singularity later today! I’ll update this post as soon as it has been done.

edit:

• The mirror has been deployed now and Singularity is back online.
• There has been one major change to the mirror preparation script: All assets in Upwell structure are now forced into Asset Safety. This is to reduce further intel leaks related to abandoned structures.
• SP from last 6 mass tests have also been added.

Every quarter an economy review is published by the EVE Economic Council. Normally this is only circulated internally at CCP and we deliver economy updates to you in other ways but we thought it would be cool to share an overview of the data from this most recent one since it’ll give you some insights into the health of the economy, some of the methods we use to monitor it and demonstrates our data-driven approach to analysis.

Could you check in the launcher and make sure DX9 mode is enabled. I know this has solved the issue for some Mac users previously.

We believe we have a fix for the audio issues. It’s currently being tested internally and if all goes to plan, it should be in the next release.

How are you launching the launcher?

I’ve seen times when people are simply running the downloaded launcher file. You should install it by dragging it onto the ‘applications’ folder:

Once this is done, you then run the installed version, and not the downloaded file.

Sorry if this sounds obvious, but it’s a very common cause of the launcher not updating and causes all sorts of issues.

Which is pretty much what we and Cloudflare, our network partner, could determine. We looked at this incident this morning and Cloudflare was able to determine there were issues reaching our origin for a brief period, but the tunnels between EVE’s datacenter and Cloudflare had no errors and there were no errors on any of our IP transit partners. I want to assure you that we did most certainly not ignore this, but we were not able to establish any cause.

And by all accounts, buggy as hell

Whoops, thanks for the catch. Fixed.

Everyone, following the successful DB tests today we won’t be needing the extra time tomorrow and are cancelling the extended downtime. Fly safe o7

o7 Industrious Capsuleers,

The Economic Report for May 2020 is now available! You can download all the relevant data here .

We’ll do a devblog at a minimum and have had other people mention a stream… will look into it further!

CCP RAM and I did a presentation a few years ago at fanfest - it’s a mix of how we came to CCP and daily Operational tasks/tech talk at the end: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w8rGZCj6rgQ

Removed a poor taste made post. First warning. Don’t do it again.

we’ve dropped from 30% CPU to well under 10% - at this time of day things are typically calm - CPU is rarely balanced across cores due to the nature of how SQL works - it could using a single core for a call or a parallel plan that would hit multiple cores.

I can say that we’re seeing much more balanced NUMA nodes (groups of cores) which is one of the major things we were after here compared to our old setup

This is actually just a proof of concept… it’s a loaner box to see how we like it and how the AMD architecture will work for EVE (I love our vendors!). But I can’t imagine we would ever fill the other socket, at least not with another CPU like this.

Close! 64 cores is right (we have SMT enabled, so 128 HT cores) but it has 2 TB of memory

It is a MS SQL server, and its not fun in any way to hint or think about the license cost
