[2020] Singularity Update - 5 June 2020

Hello everyone,

The Singularity Test Server has been updated with some of our upcoming content and we invite you to log in and test it to your heart’s content!

Remember that what you see on Singularity today is not final and is subject to change based on feedback and final touches of our development teams, before it arrives later this month on Tranquility.

What’s new?

An exciting quality of life feature has been added that will let players return to the Character Selection Screen to select a different character on the account without needing to log out of EVE Online. The team would be interested to hear if anyone is experiencing issues with the following:

• Returning to the Character Selection screen when in station or space.
• Character specific data such as chat channels, login rewards, contracts, etc. overflowing from one character to another.
• All in-game sound effects are stopped and only the music from the Character Selection Screen can be heard upon returning to the screen.

The EDENCOM Skybreaker (Frigate) and Thunderchild (Battleship), along with the new Arcing Vorton Projector weapon, are also available for testing! Please take these bad boys for a spin, check their stats and industry chains (not final!), and let us know what you think.

Mass Test

There will be also a Mass Test on Tuesday, 9 June to test the performance on the lightning weapon – please keep a close eye on more details that we will be sharing soon!

How to log in to Singularity?

Accessing Singularity is very easy! All you need to do is change the server from Tranquility to Singularity in the bottom right corner of the launcher and log in as usual. More detailed instructions are available here.

Known issues:

• The graphics of the Stormbringer, the cruiser version of the EDENCOM ships, is still WIP and missing textures (= showing completely black).
• Several of the new items are still missing correct icons.
• Being investigated: Client crashes (possibly related to using new Vorton weapons)
• Being investigated: Unable to load character screen with some new skill in the skill queue.

Hey,

We just updated Singularity with a patch, which should fix the stuck character selection screen. The crash issues related to the new weapons should hopefully be fixed as well.
edit: Unfortunately it seems like the crash fix did not work. Back to the drawing board.
