As part of ongoing work to keep New Eden up to date, the minimum specifications to play EVE Online are always under review.
This ensures that any changes we make to the EVE Client will perform as expected and that we have a solid understanding of how a release will affect the performance of your hardware.
We’ll be making changes tomorrow that require an update to the minimum system requirements for Mac users. This will mean that our minimum system requirements will change to reflect the following:
Formal support of 10.14, 10.13 and 10.12.
10.11 will work, but will not be supported.
10.10 and older will stop working.
This change will come into effect at downtime tomorrow, 2018/09/25.
If you’d like to discuss it, you can do so in this forum thread.
Will any information be provided about the specific changed requirements or their purposes? Do they address any particular issues, bugs, etc.?
And I assume the “10.X” items are referring to macOS versions, correct? So these new minimum specs are strictly software related, then? Is this tied to any update or change in wine?
I guess I’m asking: will any additional information be provided?

CCP why do you need to increase minimum supported OS version? Your Client is running via wine, its not even native. You are not bound to xCode minimum OS version…
I just create my own wrapper pack for 10.8 and up!
That is correct; Apple sent out the announcement email of macOS Mojave 10.14 tonight and this change in minimum requirements on one hand ties into that expected announcement and on the other hand relates to updates of libraries we are deploying that no longer support 10.10 and older.
Well, what can I say? I started to play this game hardly two months ago and I really liked it. But because I have a Mid 2009 Mac Pro running OSX 10.10.5 (Yosemite), which cannot be updated to the latest OS without a hassle. Also, I use this machine for working, so deciding to update depends on how the mixture of hard- and software I use is supported by newer OSs. 24 hours of warning time is like just pulling the plug. I thought I would have time for the transition until the 64bit client will be relased (Dec '18/Jan '19 ?). And yes, I know it’s not only the client but also WINE related. So, I guess this is it for some time.
o7 and fly safe!
try to turn another settings for english / french / russian languages
…
client didnt start at all meet the all requirements macOS station…
but back one of version … its ok:
if dont start Launcher by terminal with “./evelauncher -s” goto first steep
Dev guys, I clearly understand its not your fault, EVE is complex product with many dependent libraries and free libraries. Current time we feel luck, but we need another one issues, I guess…
thanks for kicking me out of the game. you guys know its not that easy to update from yosemite without ■■■■■■■ up half my software installed. especially the 24h in advance notice…are u ■■■■■■■ serious? how about give people 1 week or so? 24h is a joke. well at least i won eve now…bye ccp.
The funny thing is that this is just about the Launcher, not the game itself.
I tested it on an old Hackintosh, version not even mentioned in the Announcement because it’s so old and the game runs like a charm. Just the Launcher can’t be started, because it relays on stuff that relays on libs.
too late. ive done that , and now nothing is working anymore…not to mention that my mac is slowed down now by the friggin high sierra OS i never wanted to use in the first place. im slightly pissed to say the least.
