The Captain Quarters, as well as the Voice Chat service they had, had nothing to do with x64 compilation or any code adjustments they needed to do… But they believe none of us actually knows about that fact… Anyway, the Captain Quarters is a map, plain and simple. The functionalities it had were, pretty much, menus and the screens were, as you might’ve guessed it already (or know already), exactly the same billboards we have in stations and space. Compiling the client, and adjusting the memory parameters of the code, would be more than enough to make EVE x64 as those were the real “_roadblocks_”. Voice Chat is nothing more than sound processing and replication. Removal was not necessary, as its memory usage values directly depended, under normal and proper coding circumstances, on the Client’s memory values… So, again, it was a simple matter of just compiling to x64… And even if those memory values couldn’t be changed, the easiest thing they could do next would be **overriding** those values after the initial client startup but, then again, I’m digressing at this point… This is like compiling the client for Linux. There is no roadblock for that, they only need to compile for it… I mean, they have a MacOS (I’m sorry, I meant _closed source forked Linux distro_) client so~ its simply a matter of compiling for Linux… People may think that its because of income, but the amount of players that are running EVE on a Linux distro is, most likely, a lot bigger than MacOS users… But, again, I’m digressing at this point… Also, the Opt-in Local should be Opt-out, since the problem is on their side and not on ours, and it should _at least_ be properly functional (player list updating properly, standings updating properly isn’t required). As funny as it is to see all my characters in the same local window, its also stupidly confusing and increasingly annoying… … Concluding, and this isn’t dev bashing in any way, CCP should drop the excuses whenever there’s a change and properly fix things… The player base that exists right now isn’t the same player base that existed up to EVE’s 10th birthday, and being honest about it ends up having a lot better results than shoving what I can only call as “_propagandist justifications_” down our throats… Now, I’ll I need to do is to wait for it to be fixed in such a way that it doesn’t break or cause problems so easily. ---

There is an old saying, when your customers are wanting to buy on a weekend, you work on a weekend. 1500 UK time, not an update in 24 hrs. CCP Do Better, you are fast enough to ban people to prop up your failing CCTwitch program; how about you show us the same respect. ---

Well done CCP, if the intent was to get people to stop logging in, it was a resounding success! Right now, I’m ensuring all my subs are closed off and not allowed to renew, because I, and many others are losing interest in a broken game. I’m beginning to wonder if the patch was meant to make the game appear to have more players than it actually does, but as usual, the code went horribly wrong. ---

The fact that CCP hasn’t fixxed this in days means it’s complicated and can not be fixxed by a short update at downtime, so it probably has to do something with the server infrastructure/configuration stuff and not with the client code. I just hope they fix it, and then they double down and make sure to fix all issues with the chats that have been going on for years. (like randomly disconnecting from chats and duplicate messages) ---

Leave it off. It’s worth losing local to end the spammers. [Edit] - reinstalling EVE to play in a local-less spam free environment. Will uninstall after you fix it. LOL! People will hate me for saying this but I love the lack of local chat. It’s so peaceful now. No spamming, spewing hate trolls…it’s just awesome! @CCP - please fix alliance/corp/fleet chat, leave local broken. ---
