EVE Online: Trinity Known Issues E-mail
Monday, 10 December 2007
Until now Trinity, the newest game expansion for EVE Online, has received many praises both from veteran and new players. It is not common at all that a MMORPG developer decides that it is worth to invest into updating the Graphical engine and redesigning 70% of the game graphics instead than just putting all that time and money into a new game, and this gives a clear idea on how serious is CCP about the long term projects for EVE.
But as usual, the bigger the updates are, the longest the issue lists. So, forgetting for once the boot.ini issue that has been covered sufficiently by the other MMORPG websites, let's see what others are the known problems that came after the deployment of Trinity, while waiting, as usual, for a bugfixing patch.



EVE: Trinity Known Issues

The list below is the current list of known issues as of 6th December 2007.
Build 45017

Ships

  • Some graphical effects persist after a ship is destroyed. This is only visible to the pilot of the destroyed ship.
  • When cloaking, a ship's turrets do not fade out, but 'snap' into and out of existence.
  • Capital ships are affected by NPC EW.
  • The Guardian Vexor temporarily loses his drone bonus if stored in a ship maintenance array or in a ship maintenance bay, ejecting and boarding the ship should fix this.
  • A graphical error exists in the title of the fitting screen when used with the Augoror Navy Issue.
  • Ships do not always emerge at the correct angle when undocking.
  • Boarding a ship in space may occasionally result in the player becoming stuck. Please file a petition about this since we need as much information as possible.
  • When docked inside certain stations, the Naglfar is taller than the station allows for. They just build them bigger in Minmatar space.
  • The centre point of the Hulk is misplaced.
  • One of the fins on the Malediction ship model is misaligned.
  • There is a display glitch that can cause your cargo hold to display as having 1m3 space remaining, when it is in fact full.

Modules

  • There is no obvious graphical effect when activating an afterburner.
  • Interdictor warp disrupt probes do not interrupt warps that have already been started.
  • Logging off while having a cloaking module active may result in your ship not initiating emergency warp.
  • The graphical effect for sensor dampeners displays in the opposite direction to the target.
  • The range of ECM bursts is not affected by the Frequency Modulation skill.
  • A graphics effect is needed for the salvager.
  • Warning that pops up when fitting rigs does not mention that fitted rigs will also be destroyed if the ship is repackaged.
  • Missile rig bonuses are not shown in the Show info screen for loaded missiles with the exception of RoF bonuses, they are however applied.
  • Modules can in rare cases become stuck as active if they are activated by clicking the module rapidly with the mouse.
  • The salvage icon doesn't always appear next to the locked target you are using it on.
  • Drones do not always use their MWDs when returning to their home ship.
  • It is sometimes possible to activate more than one Tractor Beam on a cargo container.
  • The Tractor Beam effect appears detached from the ship emitting it.
  • A graphical error exists in the display of Micro Auxiliary Power Cores on the Market.
  • The Analyzer I module is incorrectly filed as a Target Painter.
  • Ice Miners do not deactivate when the mining ship’s cargo hold is full.
  • Discrepancies with onlining occur with packaged and unpackaged items of the same type.
  • Cynosural Field Generator Is incorrectly report that a player is warp scrambled when they are active.
  • Strip miners look too small when fitted onto mining barges.
  • Activating a Codebreaker on items with skill requirements will display the skill requirements of that item instead of stating you can't use the Codebreaker on that item.
  • When modules that have the Reactivation Delay are activated there is no visual indication as to when the reactivation delay timer ends.
  • The resistance bonus of Hakim's modified explosion dampening amplifier seems a bit underpowered compared to the tech 2 version.
  • Although the bonuses given by Ballistic Control Units are applied, there is no indication to that when show info windows are opened on the launchers or fitted missiles.

Drones & Fighters

  • Drones cannot be jammed through the use of ECM.
  • Drones start attacking random targets on rare occasions.
  • Drones draw too much aggression from NPCs.
  • Drones assigned to groups in the drone UI can be misplaced from their group if more than 5 drones are in the same group when they are launched.
  • The jamming timer is not displayed if successfully jammed by EW drones.
  • Drones you have launched engage spawn containers when you activate a Codebreaker or Analyzer on them.
  • Large amounts of Drones in the Drone Bay of your ship can cause excessive FPS reductions on your client.
  • Fighters that are attacking and are given the order to return to orbit shortly before their controller warps out do not always follow into warp but instead become idle.
  • Drones cannot attack secure containers.
  • Activating Remote Repairing drones on a friendly (non corp.) player in high security causes an aggression warning to pop up, however there is (correctly) no concord response.

Agents & Missions

  • Buying datacores with an outstanding BPO offer will not warn that the BPO offer will be revoked if datacores are bought.
  • Research points are not updated after buying datacores from an R&D agent, closing the window and starting a new conversation with the agent will show the correct research points that are left.
  • If you leave the game while in a complex, the timer for whether you warp back to your location or to the beginning of the complex is too short.
  • Ejecting from your ship if you are too close to an explorations site means you may be unable to warp back to your ship because of oversized deadspace signatures of some dungeons.
  • Storyline agent mails sent out just before down time can result in the storyline mission never being given.
  • Newly started research with an R&D agent will not show in the journal until next relog.

  • 'Mission objectives completed' appears in the journal even if you have not picked up items required according to the mission details.
  • There have been reports of Security Agents handing out mining missions when they shouldn't.
  • NPCs are treating secure containers that are either anchored or unanchored valid targets and attacking them, often in preference to attacking the player. This does not seem to apply to jettison containers, which NPCs continue to ignore as they did before.
