[Eve Newsletter] New patch dates

[Kithran]

For those who tend to just delete the newsletters they send out I spotted the following in the latest:

» Incursion 1.5 - Coming May 3rd
» Incursion 1.5.1 - Coming May 17th

Nothing obvious on Eve-o as to what they will contain.

wow, theyre really good at divulging information. All they did was post tentative dates for patches, and not even state what, if anything, would be fixed. I mean usually when u have patch dates, you have a general idea of whats going to be rolled out, be it fixes or new features.

[Dysgenesis]

poaneez


Ponys in stations?

[Phelan Boots]

I would like to know more. :monocledowns:

[Airow]

worthless without actual patch notes

[ilmonstre]

so on tuesday its patching day again.

good thing my skill wont be done on teusday then

[illectro]

Surely whatever they're planning to patch on Tuesday is already in testing on SiSi, or is everyone lurking on Duality these days instead.

[Bannedwagon]

SiSi build was thoroughly broken a few days ago.

[TimMc]

Not sure how this is helpful. Woohoo numbers?

[Don Pellegrino]

My guess is that it's the UI optimization, because it's been on sisi for a little while and it seems about ready.
In case you haven't tested it, it's OMGFAST. Everything is faster and the client uses less CPU.

par for the course. Expect that version of SiSi to be the version that makes it in to TQ on tuesday...and then they'll patch it 45 times, and tell us we should be logging into SiSi more. Nothing like the good ole "we cant be bothered to QA our shit, so we'll leave to you to not test it either" mentality.

whats faster about it? thats a 100% serious question, im curious, and really am not going to install SiSi just so i can see some butans open windows faster or whatever...

After reading the responses, when the UI isnt doing anything its not slowing eve down so eve generaly needs less CPU to run.. When the UI is doing something it still needs CPU but its still less than what eve is currently using.. (right clicking in space makes CPU usage jump for a little bit as it trys to work out what you are right clicking on and draw the correct menu)

So fater would be framerate and ability to run multiple clients..

[Sponk]

I do notice my computer chugs when the eve login screen is up while I check forums to see whether the DRF has control of the system I logged out in (protip: usually yes). Hopefully the new build will reduce this.

Good news? In my FHC? :ohnoes:

[Liare]

i hope the May 3rd one includes a serious nerfsticking of the Guritas ECM, because its not hard, just retarded. :emo:

I had some problems with it for a week or so, but now it seems to be back to normal.

[Liare]

im still getting minutes worth of perma jams on "The Assault" occationally, not as bad as it was but still significantly more than what we had before the current change. the whole, "oh! a gap, locking...locking...locked! Launch!, ah dammit, jammed again. brb tea" thing is not as bad as it was just after the current patch, but its still looking like they jam twice as often.

poor Golem Drivers, that's all i can say.

Take in an aggro/tank alt?

Take in an aggro/tank alt?"please pay for a secondary account to experience acceptable game play." :psyccp:

besides, cba with a third one. :)

The current UI is integrated with the rest of the client code (not modular). What they're doing is separate it, so that they optimize it easily, improve it, etc. Also having a modular UI code means that if they end up making a completly new UI for WoD, eve might be able to use it, obviously with a different skin.

What's on Sisi right now is - apart from a few details - exactly the same thing as the same old UI except that windows open instantly, the ship reacts instantly to navigation commands and the client uses less CPU. Basically what you can expect from old code optimization.

That is not entierly correct, the UI framework was redone a year ago to make it modular. You probably remember those windows that kept on unstacking for a month and CCP introduced the daily client patches?

What they have done now is to move the UI elements over to be GPU accellerated offloading a great deal of the CPU.

[Caius Sivaris]

lulz missiles have brackets on sisi now... so much for fixing lag

[Mike deVoid]

That's only client lag not server lag. And you can just change your bracket profile to not included missiles and problem solved

[illectro]

Well the latest dev blog tells us there's a present being given out for the 8th anniversary, so that explains one of the patches.

please please please tell me that these new UI optimizations get rid of the inability to click anything for 2-5 seconds after jumping/session changing...please?

[Chakrai]

Guessing one of the patches will contain the super shiny Maller and Punisher for the tournament winnars as well.

[Amantus]

Does the updated UI still have the fucking retarded new checkboxes, or did they change them to not be as dumb?

[Don Pellegrino]

They fixed the checkboxes.

'Tornado (http://dreamwa1ker.deviantart.com/art/EvE-Online-Tornado-182153653)' incoming?

[noobcake]

its funny how many people think there going to be some epic BS gift as this years anniversary present...

[killfalcon]

Missiles, brackets?

Why? They can't be targeted, and the damn things glow like tiny, angry suns. And I can't imagine trying to use an overview that included them.

I'm quite sure it's not only that because quite a few things look different.

[Caius Sivaris]

I don't seem to be able to assemble a strategic cruiser on SiSi.... wtf is wrong with CCP, this is the kind of stuff automated testing can and should catch...

Any update on this?

[Lana Torrin]

Any update on this?

Well lets see.. The flash animation on the eve-o front page is proudly stating that Incursion 1.4 will be out in 2 days and links to http://www.eveonline.com/en/incursion/features which says 1.4 was out on 6th April and 1.5 was out yesterday..

So no, no updates..

you know, promise nothing claim some work has been done and then hype the release while never delivering ? its not like people are going to notice, or mind. :obama:

[halbarad]

At least this way they don't have to add a few more patches to fix problems with this one.

[Rudolf Miller]

so.. no patch?

[Lana Torrin]

This is CCP.. They are likely to break something even if the patch does nothing..

[Elenor Pewpew]

Looks like 1.5 will be on 17th may for BFF fixes, and 1.6 with the new UI 2 weeks later.

[Lana Torrin]

Looks like 1.5 will be on 17th may for BFF fixes, and 1.6 with the new UI 2 weeks later.
So they pushed back 'Carbon UI' a month (and renumbered everything so 1.6 isnt released before 1.5).. Fully expect 'Carbon UI' to become part of Incarna 1.0
