o7 capsuleers!

We are running a mass test on Singularity this weekend, beginning at 19:00 UTC today (2 October), and running through the weekend until 12:00 UTC on Monday, 5 October.

**What exactly is being tested?**  
The main goal of this mass test is to help us validate an upcoming engine upgrade. This is primarily a backend change, so there shouldn’t be any noticeable gameplay differences.

During this mass test, we are mainly looking for:

- Performance issues or improvements
- Crashes, freezes, or instability
- Unexpected bugs or technical issues
- Anything that behaves differently from Tranquility

One positive change we have seen so far is a consistent FPS gain. During the mass test, we’d love for you to let us know if you notice any improvements in performance compared to Tranquility!

**Test Instructions**  
Please join the in-game channel `masstesting`. You will find instructions in the MOTD.

**What else should I know?**

- Run the highest graphical settings your system is able to.
- We strongly recommend updating to the latest GPU drivers. For macOS, the latest OS version that you are able to run.
- We have not yet set a release date for this upgrade to be deployed to Tranquility.

Please be mindful that [test server rules still apply](https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/13172315768860-Test-Server-Rules). Punishments for flagrant infractions received on Singularity may extend to Tranquility, and can impact things like participation in the Alliance Tournament and other fun projects.

**How to connect to Singularity for this test:**  
Change the server from Tranquility to Singularity in the bottom right corner of the launcher and log in as normal. More detailed instructions are [available here](https://support.eveonline.com/hc/en-us/articles/13171882385820-Test-Servers-Singularity-and-Others).

Thank you for taking part and helping us make sure the upgrade is ready for the next steps!
