Breaking News: Looks like SISI is being patched

[Rubino]

There's a new client patch but I've not been able to download the delta patches to my existing SISI patch - only a fresh copy of TQ appears to work (which means a 1 GB download).
The new download is nice though

Aye its a good system, very fast

[Rubino]

In the latest SISI the client attempts to set the graphics to the best possible.
Alas it doesn't do it right - so things can look blurry.

To fix this:
1) Press ESC and goto the Graphics Settings
2) Set Shader and Texture to low in the middile panel under Grpahic Content Settings & hit Apply. 
3) Now Set Shader and Texture to High in the middile panel under Grpahic Content Settings & hit Apply. 
4) Close the Window and the problem should be fixed.

The current patch on SISI is: 6.10.80418

Probes currently have issues and aren't warping when you move them - which makes finding Cosmic Signatures difficult.
There have been Market problems due to fragmentation of the SQL Server Database - but an extended DT in the middle of the day appears to have fixed most of them.

SISI is currently offline - from the Game Dev forum it appears they're applying a new mirror to the server to fix a cascade of server side & DB bugs introduced in earlier patches.

New patch for SISI: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1003649

It's 125MB for those updating from the previous SISI build.
Patch brings the client to: 6.10.82627

Fixed issues:
* Default settings for shader and texture quality was set to the lowest setting in the device service. This has been fixed
* A texture reported missing from wrecks has been added.
* Fixing sails on more Minmatar ships.
* A "Trash" option had sneaked into the right click menu of drones in the drone bay, this has now been removed.
* Probe movement in the system map has been partially fixed, you can now warp one probe at a time by clicking Analyze after positioning the probe.

Changes:
* The cache size is not set manually anymore. There is a checkbox in the ESC menu that can be ticked to use resource caching. The size of the cache is automatically dictated by the shader and texture quality settings.
* The levels of bloom are not set manually anymore. There is a checkbox in the ESC menu that can be ticked to enable bloom (HDR must be enabled as well).
* Engine trails have been disabled.

And another patch out for SISI: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1008814&page=1

Just a small one - around 20mb.

Scanning is, however, completly broken.  Looks like there will be another patch soon that will address it based on the reponse to my bug report.

Updating mah client!

Want to give this a go - its all beginning to feel more polished from a cursory glance.

I shall give the NPE a few goes, make sure Im aware of all of it as it is now - always handy so I can answer questions from people I entice over

[Rubino]

Scanning is now much improved - and a real joy to use.
You can now warp to results, you'll get visual clues on the system map and sexy graphics to see your probes.

There's an open WH in URLEN currently (1.0 sec) that leads to the W-Space system where we have a POS. 
It's also big enough to allow an Orca through - with a seeded market 1 jump away.

[Rubino]

The empire WH has shifted and is now in Hishai (0.8 sec).
It allows an Orca and the nearest station is 2 jumps out.

New patch for SISI - around 300mb in size.
Still downloading it myself but the autopatcher worked ok from the prev build.
The last build was painful to say the least re:scanning but Grey's promised that this build should fix most of the issues.

On the good news - we now have type information for scanning much earlier on.  At less than 25% sig strength we get the signal type "cosmic sig", "Anomaly".  At more than 25% we get the signal group "Gravimetric, Radar, Unknown" and at 75% we get the detail of the site - so the site name or "Unstable Wormhole". 

If the build is stable and scanning works without too many glitches then I'll put togther a guide & some fraps (if I can find a keygen for it).

According the Greyscale it looks like the SISI build now is pretty much final and complete
