How many of our EVE Online playing readers would like to test shadows? Then there’s good news for you because CCP Games is scheduling a “mass test” today – Wednesday, March 27th – on the Singularity test server to see if shadows are more performative. Woo-hah! Shadows!
Facetiousness aside, the test in question is intended to ensure shadows are less of a performance drain and more stable on the client side, along with testing of other improvements like updates to the ship skin system to make it more robust, some under-the-hood changes that better track player positions on the grid, and a fix for a long-standing bug that saw players find themselves in unexpected places when they undock.
The test is scheduled to begin at 1:00 p.m. EST this afternoon. Capsuleers who help out are encouraged to bring in some of their largest ships to fly around in, and all those who join in will be handed 15,000 Evermarks.
Capsuleers, we've got a mass test scheduled for this week!
Join us on 27 March at 17:00 UTC as we test out some improvements and narrow down some pesky bugs. Capitals will be provided.
All who attend will receive 15,000 Evermarks on Tranquility!#Tweetfleet #EVEOnline pic.twitter.com/GMyici3Bav
