Greetings Capsuleers!

We have an update about a testing window Singularity to share with you all today. As part of the upcoming Havoc expansion, a new mechanic is going to be added to the existing Factional Warfare zones, “Pirate Insurgencies” and we’d like your help with testing it out!

When is the test running?

• Singularity will be opening for testing on Thursday 19th October at 18:00 UTC and closing again at 20:00 UTC.

What will be included in this patch?

• We will be patching Singularity with several parts of the Havoc expansion (not the whole thing!) and won’t be fully representative of the entire expansion. The primary focus of this test is the Pirate Insurgencies. Some additional features are also included but may not be considered final or a part of this test.

What exactly is being tested?

Enlistment:

• Enlisting with the pirate factions. Docking in one of the Angel stations to enlist there, or Guristas station to enlist there. You can type /moveme and select either H-PA29 (Gur...

On December 7th, 2023, we will discontinue support for Windows 7 and 8 operating systems.

After support is discontinued players will be unable to launch EVE Online if they are using these operating systems. The minimum requirements for EVE Online will be updated to reflect the change, indicating that Windows 10 and later will be supported.

Microsoft discontinued Windows 7 support in January 2020 and Windows 8 support in January 2023.

Our continued support of these operating systems has now significantly impacted the team’s ability to maintain and develop new feature sets. By discontinuing support, we have the opportunity to unlock further security features in the launcher and give us more flexibility to choose external solutions as we develop EVE and its foundations further.

Players needing to transition from Windows 7 and 8 may find this Microsoft page useful.

Over the next few weeks, we will continue to message these changes via the launchers, discord, targeted emails to affected use...

Thank you to everyone who voted in this amazing CSM race. We had the second highest turnout ever in the STV era, and each and every candidate was amazing.

In this years election, CCP selected Kshal Aideron and Stitch Kaneland to round out our freshly expanded 12-member CSM

As always, the detailed voter information can be found here

There is a lingering issue where the finder has a problem when there’s an apostrophe in the characters name, but they’re still on the Monument.

Hello everyone!

We’re happy to announce that the updated EVE Monument is back online, honoring capsuleers from the first and second decade! The construction is finished and the Monument has been unveiled ahead of the 20th Anniversary Fanfest Festivities™

You’ll be able to locate your character using the EVE Monument name finder tool, Find your name on the EVE monument | EVE Online

All names are in alphabetical order, making it even easier to locate names.

CCP Hellmar will be cutting the ribbon later this week to officially christen the newly renovated EVE Monument, but we know some of are already in Reykjavik and we wanted you to be able to easily locate the names of you and your friends.

Fly safe!

The fix is taking a bit longer than we would like. We’re aiming for a deployment early next week to resolve this.

Thanks. We’ve just got a repo on this and are working on a fix.

Hi

If all goes to plan, we’ll be deploying a change which should fix this problem tomorrow. It will alter the way the window for the client interfaces with the OS.

To explain how the window rendering works:

In full screen mode, there will be a black bar at the top of the screen in line with the notch. As a result, the notch is “ignored”, at the cost of losing a few pixels at the top of the screen. You can still move the mouse cursor into the black bar area.

In August there was a change to allow all of the pixels to be used when ‘fixed window’ was selected. This means that if you have a notch, the client will render around it giving you the most screen estate possible.
The downside of this is that the client still considers this a ‘real’ area, meaning you can move things into the area where the notch exists and you won’t be able to see it. We believe the impact of this is low though, as there are almost no such windows in EVE that could be accidentally placed here and not be seen sticki...

18:41 UTC - Tranquility is open to players. We will continue to monitor the health of the server. Thanks again for your patience.

18:30 UTC - Starting up highlighted a couple of issues which we believe have been resolved. We will be attempting to start up TQ again in VIP mode.

Clarified here : Player Disconnections and Unable to Log In - #496 by CCP_Arcade

VIP is somewhat misleading. Essentially it means that only developers with certain roles on their accounts can log into TQ. Typically QA or developers who have deployed features so they can jump onto the server and check things look okay before giving players and the other devs access.
