Hey!

We are planning a mass test on Singularity on Tuesday, September 28th, at 17:00 UTC (= EVE time)!

**What exactly is being tested?**

New Native Mac Client and related changes, especially looking for:

- Mac + Windows client performance
- Mac + Windows client stability - especially crash fixes
- Server performance

**How to connect to Singularity for this test:**

- Ensure that the launcher is patched to the latest version (important for Mac)
- 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://community.eveonline.com/support/test-servers/singularity/)

**Test instructions:**

- Please join the channels MassTesting (for instructions), MassQuestions (for feedback)
- Use appropriate graphical settings for a fleet fight (a lower resolution and lower settings can help a lot)
- Fly whatever you want
- Join fleet W or X (should be in fleet finder)

Steps (on command by CCP):

1. Meet in FD-MLJ, docked (in either station or Upwell structure)
2. Undock and warp to X-BV98 gate
3. Jump to X-BV98
4. Warp to Sotiyo
5. Shoot the Sotiyo (no other PvP)
6. Warp to Poitot gate
7. Fleet W: Jump to Poitot and setup camp
8. Fleet X: Jump to Poitot and fight

**What else should I know?**

- Use the command /moveme to be moved to the start system FD-MLJ.
- 2M Skill points will be awarded on Singularity for this mass test.

Hey Hey. If it is a native Test 4 Mac then how should that work for Mac? I for one run eve under wine. And it is far away from stable.

If I understood recent news correctly, they’re developing a native Mac client (i.e. NOT a wine port!). So I’m hoping this is testing that new client!

Will the default Mac keyboard shortcuts be improved in the next patch? The previous default set was less than optimal (e.g. Shift+Space to stop ship is awkward, should default to Ctrl+Space). It would be great if the defaults could be changed to avoid the need for Mac users to do unnecessary re-binding.

they’ve got the new client going, the default test server is the native mac client… this is IIRC, now the 3rd test for the NMC.

Ctrl+Space is the default binding in Mac OS for keyboard layout switching, that’s why they changed it to Shift+Space

On Singularity the regular EVE launcher for Mac is now starting the native Mac client and no longer the client through Wine. Check [The Native Mac Client is now the default client for Singularity 🎉](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/the-native-mac-client-is-now-the-default-client-for-singularity/328945) for details.

YES, it does. 🎉

We made some adjustments to keyboard shortcuts, but “Stop Ship” is still mapped to “Shift+Space”. “CTRL+Space” is unfortunately already used and so far we could not find any better replacement (but I have to agree, that I personally also still struggle with it, especially as I am constantly switching between Mac and Windows).  
If you have any feedback for the keyboard shortcuts, especially on how exactly to improve them, then please write it up here: [The Native Mac Client is now the default client for Singularity 🎉](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/the-native-mac-client-is-now-the-default-client-for-singularity/328945) If you think that any keyboard shortcut is just broken, then please also send a bug report.

As far as I know not.

Thanks for participating in the mass test! 2 million skill point have been added on Singularity to the participating characters.  
I am still going through the results and bug reports, but so far it looks pretty promising (but there are for sure a few problems to investigate further).

Not received SP @CCP_Habakuk (although I was 10 minutes late as took ages to install the patch) therefore if it is less than 2m I’m still happy. Was a great test, ran smoother than current install even when pushing the graphics up way above my standard settings! Kudos to the team

I haven’t an opportunity to participate in this test, so I’ll mention that I’m having serious difficulties with my display-port that are very clearly associated with flying a Rorqual, and that this needs to be tested and resolved!
