[2022] Mass Test on Singularity: Thursday, June 9th, 2022

Hey!

We are planning a mass test on Singularity on Thursday, June 9th, at 17:00 UTC (= EVE time)!

What exactly is being tested?
Several graphical changes, as announced in Building the foundations for an evolved EVE experience | EVE Online

• DirectX 12 - only available on GPUs, which support DirectX feature level 12_0 (normally supported by new cards since 2015 - dxdiag.exe shows the supported feature levels on the display tab). DirectX 12 will be switchable in the launcher, as soon as enabled by us.
• Changes to texture compression
• Changes to LOD-ing of objects and textures
• High-res nebulas

How to connect to Singularity for this test:

• 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)
• Fly whatever ship you want (optimally one, which can fight in a fleet fight)
• 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 Tatara
5. Shoot the Tatara (no other PvP)
6. Warp to Poitot gate
7. Fleet W: Jump to Poitot and setup camp
8. 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.

Yes, chat is working fine on Singularity, at least for me.

You probably have ‘download the full EVE game client’ turned on in the launcher. If you turn this off, you will be able to play with the minimal install (it will download things during gameplay in the background as it needs them).

Hey!
Thanks for helping with this mass test! We tracked down several issues, especially that the framerate dropped significantly while zooming in and out (or at doing “look at”).
2 million skill points have been added now to 380 characters on Singularity.

We are aware of a radial menu problem, while being in a fleet.

Thank you to everyone that participated. We gathered a lot of really good feedback and are now in defect fighting mode
