2 million skill point have been added now to 368 characters on Singularity.

Yes, most crashes are automatically sent to us. We also experienced those crashes with our accounts.

Indeed - Sisi is back up on the new patch and test steps have been added to the top post.

FYI: We are currently preparing a last minute patch for the mass test.

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.

Well, I have good and bad news. It seems like the character selection fix works - but the crash fix needs more work.

Indeed, we just updated Singularity with a patch, which should fix both the character selection screen issues for the new skills, as well as the crashes relating to the new weapons.

Hey!

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

What exactly is being tested?

• New ships and new weapons

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 steps:
Please join the channels MassTesting (for instructions), MassQuestions (for feedback)

Prep:

• We want many Upwell ships fitted with Vorton Projector weapons
• We also need a few other ships, especially with missiles, projectile weapons and drones
• Preferably no capitals, as we jump into high sec
  Steps:

1. Start in FD-MLJ at the gate to PF-346
2. Jump to PF-346
3. Short weapon test for Vorton projectors, shoot only as commanded by CCP (nobody should die)
4. Fleet X warps to Orvolle gate, while other fleet is firing
5. Jump to Orvolle
6. Short weapon test in Orvolle first with green safeties, then with yellow safeties
7. Jump back to PF-34...

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.

Thanks for participating in this test! 2M skill points have been added to 367 characters on Singularity.

Well, the main implication (as far as I know as outsider) is that the timing of jumping is changing a bit (in some cases it can take a bit longer). Not sure if there are any other effects.

What exactly is being tested?

New Travel System
This was already tested once several months ago and has now been polished.

The Travel System update is a graphical update with gameplay implications. The test participants should pay attention to how the jump effects look and feel, and how readable the game information is (sec, empire) for the tunnels. The team is on the look out for any exceptions or tech issues that haven’t evidenced themselves in house (bug reports from in-client most appreciated). We are also interested in gathering feedback in many areas, a short list is below and may get updated before the test:

• Smoothness and timing of jump sequences

• Awareness of difference of tunnel types (e.g. Location, Security Level, Travel Method)

• Tunnel lighting and brightness

• Lightning brightness and intensity

• Queasiness or discomfort from using the tunnels

• Technical concerns (pe...

The last mirror was on the 27th of March, but Singularity was in VIP at this time, so it was only accessible a few days later.

Oh, seems like internal ISD channels are leaking?

But to be honest, I am on team Fedo:

But if I have to choose between bird or dog, then team bird

That’s a bit weird, but good to hear that it helped.

Hmmm, not sure then. There might be stray files in this SharedCache folder, which could trigger this maybe. Maybe there are any hints in launcher logs?

This can happen, if you have an extra server enabled, like Thunderdome or Duality, which is currently not used. If this is the case, then please disable the extra server and it should hopefully work.
