EVE Online Mac client works great

Everything's fine here. On a 2.33 MBP with 3gigs of RAM. No issues at all. In fact, I celebrated to pwning a Raven last night in PvP.

I'd add my 'Doesn't work for me' experience. Running it on a 2GHz iMac with 2G RAM, the game's intro and char selection screens suffered severe hiccupping of sound and video. Got through those, but I can't stay online more than an average of two minutes - the game either just 'disconnects' or more often crashes all the way to Finder with a Cider 'Runtime Error' message. This is with no other apps running.

It's not baked yet.

Neongrau,

So how do we fix the case sensitivity issue on our MBP? Is there a way?

for those having trouble starting the game after installation. from what i heard the game doesnt seem to work when installed on a case sensitive partition. after al the game is just a cider/transgaming wrapped windows game. so give them some time to learn how to work with case sensitive file systems ;)

my MBP with tiger came without case sensitivity and it worked right away. (running leopard now with an upgrade installation).

My client's actually been crashing. It must be pretty rare, because no one else I talked to experienced this.

I'd get a Cider Runtime error and then the game would disconnect. It happened a lot at the beginning, but now it happens maybe once every few hours

I'm ecstatic to welcome fellow Mac users to EVE. It may be a harsh place to begin in, but once you know your way around, once you've given yourself enough time to move around, you'll enjoy the freedom.

As the saying goes, "EVE is like a sand box with land mines. Deal with it"

And with the list of sites on my blog, which Mike was kind enough to point to, you'll have the resources and knowledge to go out explore, and conquer your corner of the universe.

Fly safe!

mikal, it is super intimidating, but fans of the game say that's it's charm. Here's a good list of guides for beginners:

But even with those resources, be prepared to be overwhelmed at first. Follow all the tutorials to the letter and take your time learning things.

Regarding the windowed mode, you can switch between fullscreen and windowed using Cmd-Enter (which works on nearly all Cider-based games).

If you experience (like me) that the link is broken on the website, check this link;

Anyone know any guides or tips for a new player starting out? Looks cool, but intimidating.
