[2021] Mass Test on Singularity: Thursday, August 12th, 2021

Hey!

We are planning a mass test on Singularity on Thursday, August 12th, at 17:00 UTC (= EVE time)!

What exactly is being tested?

New Native Mac Client and related changes, especially looking for:

• Mac + Windows client performance
• Mac + Windows client stability
• Server performance
• Time dilation on Mac client

More information about the Native Mac Client playtest

How to connect to Singularity for this test:

• Ensure that the launcher is patched to the latest version (important for Mac)
• Change the server from Tranquility to Singularity in the bottom right corner of the launcher and log in as normal.
• More detailed instructions are available here.

Test instructions:

• Please join the channels MassTesting (for instructions), MassQuestions (for feedback)
• Use appropriate graphical settings for a fleet fight (a lower resolution and lower settings can help a lot)
• Fly whatever you want
• Join fleet W or X (should be in fleet finder)

Steps (on command by CCP):

1. Meet in FD-MLJ, docked (in either station or Upwell structure)
2. Undock and warp to X-BV98 gate
3. Jump to X-BV98
4. Warp to Sotiyo
5. Shoot the Sotiyo (no other PvP)
6. Force time dilation
7. Warp to Poitot gate
8. Fleet W: Jump to Poitot and setup camp
9. Fleet X: Jump to Poitot and fight

What else should I know?

• Use the command /moveme to be moved to the start system FD-MLJ.
• 2M Skill points will be awarded on Singularity for this mass test.
• A new DB mirror will be deployed before this mass test.

Yeah, we hope, that this mirror will fix those issues, if not then we will need to investigate further.

Unfortunately yes, we are investigating further.

Thank you for participating in the mass test! All your reports are very helpful. We have already fixes for most crashes in the pipeline.
Skill points have been added to 211 character on Singularity.

@Tanguy_Garcin , @Kai-Alon_Deninard : If you have not done yet, please ensure to send a bug report about those issues (as the client does not work, please send through https://community.eveonline.com/support/bug-reports/. If anyhow possible please includes logs from LogLite (which you can start through the launcher).

Interesting, macOS 10.15 is supported (especially with the latest release 10.15.7), but it is great that it is fixed now for you.
