I dug out an old (2011) pc and threw Win 10 on it today, and thought later to put Eve on it (basically to do hanger-stuff; Intel HD 3000 integrated graphics). The computer is up-to-date, and according to DXDIAG I’m running DirectX 12.

The Steam Eve launcher won’t let me download the game files because it doesn’t detect DX11. The computer exceeds the minimum requirements, but the launcher just throws up an error and says to try Support. I’m currently dl’ing the game directly from eveonline.com, but I don’t have a fast connection here…is there some voodoo chant or DX configuration I missed, or should I just wait out the 10.9GB dl and try tomorrow?

I don’t know if this is me, ccp, or Microsoft. Anybody else run into this? I’d prefer to log my single character in through Steam, although I admit an Alpha industrialist would be neat to keep on my potato-computer screen…

I don’t believe that GPU meets the minimum requirements. They changed how DirectX versioning works and added features levels. EVE requires DirectX 11 with feature level 11.0

Intel HD 3000 launched with DirectX 10.1 and they updated the driver to support DirectX 11 with feature level 10.1 which is means almost all DirectX11 games can’t be run. Some Nvidia cards can be tweaked to run games with a higher feature level if they don’t use any of the newer stuff, but EVE is using DirectX 11 features and I don’t think you’ll be able to get it to run.

Yay, they fixed a localization issue for the Cheetah which I submitted a bug report for. Pretty impressed how responsive they are to the tickets and such I send in. Just made a new report for mission 20 of the SoE arc so I hope it gets fixed just as quick.

whats are the odds at that this makes it out of beta

If it makes it into beta....

I'm hopeful. They had the right idea with legion in adding PvE and an overworld, and just migrating everyone’s characters a la a runescape -> Runescape 2 migration to get rid of the technical debt. It seems like this will at least also be on PC if not be a PC only game.

As a Dust player I’ve been hopeful that something will be playable since they emailed and asked everyone to reserve their old character names and for veteran rewards.

More plot progression than the Rings of Power

I always thought the weakest parts of Peter Jackson’s take on Middle Earth were pointless action sequences that weren’t necessary to the plot. The Frost Troll scene in the first Episode to me summed up my biggest gripes with the modern take on Middle Earth. You get wide angle lenses, a bunch of camera cuts, characters flying around like it’s the matrix, mischaraterization of the abilities of Elves to be more like video game attacks rather than mystical attributes, and trying to make main characters “great” by giving them superpowers rather than showing their wisdom through their choices and words.

Galadriel who is supposed to thousands of years old has the temperament and social skills of teenager and her redeeming quality is that she has plot armor. Tolkien writes of Galadriel as a great warrior, but speaks to her ambition, political cunningness, and noble spirit rather than being able to fight like Neo.

Also all the Elves look like human cosplayers which is compounded by the bad ear job they all have with their shaven sideburns.

My manhandling of kit supports lots of repair shops, but I'm pretty sure I keep my local camera shop in business. At least they have a huge stock of salvaged parts for FD mount cameras now.

They should finally add in FOBs/Small Citadel or the Capsuleer Outpost from Echoes. Or add POS guns to structures that you can destroy without timers. Having smaller scale stuff to fight over would give a reason to raid and give smaller groups the ability to fight each other for space.

POCO meta close to that kind of warfare right now, but Low-sec is dominated by a few groups with shell corps.

When an individual capsuleer in a player corp earns EverMarks (toward spaceship decal tattoos), the corporation earns them too. During the promotion period, the ratio of player and corp EverMarks earned will be 1 to 1. Keep this in mind and start hitting those Paragon missions, because in 2023, player corps will be able to spend the EverMarks they have accumulated through individual member activity.


Nitpicking, but I’m worried that they mix the capitalization and use ‘Evermark’ and ‘Evermore’ multiple times. It gets confusing when no one knows how to write stuff like ‘evemail’.

Nothing really overt about wanting to be another space leader. I watched 10 minutes of the stream and it mostly praised star citizen, addressing the controversy over it taking so long and then talking about how they spent so much money on it. I'm not sure if it's worth watching to pick out funny or sad moments but I heard there was something about them talking about PGL and him showing up in chat.

Surprising to me I didn't see too many people talking about this yet.

oh do they? i have one from AT I should see if it's still there

“You guys wern't to know, but that is actually on my agenda this year. The tooling team has been working on some new tools for me - today 2 new tools are due to be added:

Mass disband corps/alliances based on account prefixes (So after a tournament I can free up corps/alliances and tickers) so their names can be reused.

And the newest feature is "Mass Role management" so currently accounts must have a special flag (basically called VIP Access) to access Thunderdome. My plan going forward is instead of mass deleting and re-issuing accounts is potentially to just remove this flag for accounts once a Tournament is over and then add the flag back if you're returning, so that you don't have to recreate your char or any other details. If you've been on Thunderdome before you'll notice the account prefix is usually the event name, whereas this time its a more generic one, for this reason 😄

The last thing I'm currently working on is a final tool that should be ready in the next few months that will help me bulk verify/security check a little easier, so even if you have an account on TD, I can check and make sure everythings in order on the TQ account and just restore access ^^”

I was at their Pax East 2013 event and it was a room of nerds who got super excited for the character flipping their helmet around while getting into the cockpit right before the game crashed. Then they just chanted “Helmet” over and over while Chris Roberts tried to get the demo to run past that point over and over.

Best $0 I ever spent.

I bought it because I like single player sandbox, which has fallen by the wayside. Idk if it will even be an option with SQ42 being a separate game and it is now morphing into an albeit incomplete mmo. But I was promised self hosted sandbox.

Was noticing atypical chat issues for a 1-2 weeks before it went on fire. Weird things like people being multiple systems or two private channels being merged. Maybe it’s hard to rollback because the changes were done further back and it took a while to become a dumpster fire. SISI is fine.

Looking back into EVE to restart my "resub for new patch, get bored picking at random contracts, get immediately overwhelmed after joining goonswarm, quit" cycle again for the new patch and apparently that second step is no longer an option. Jesus christ what a mess that sounds like.

Has anyone tried running EVE on a Steam Deck to any success? I was thinking of using the touchscreen as controls for some ratting and mining but I'm not sure if the UI gets completely borked.

I’ve seen people using it. I used EVE anywhere and ran EVE using UTM on my iPad Pro and I got to say touch is nice for quickly pressing some things, but EVE is terrible without a keyboard.

Been catching up on reading the NetEase dev blogs and besides some interesting stuff on how skins are synched between Serenity and TQ, I noticed that they’re changing Infinity to only allow Alphas to fly destroyers and frigs for anti botting reasons. I thought China was more Laissez-faire about that but it seems like they have a bunch of new measures to combat it.

I wonder how well that change would go over in TQ if they could put a real dent in botting.
