I just spotted this on the Eve Insider Dev Blog:

“Q. Will EVE: Trinity be supported on the Mac and Linux platforms?
A. The Mac and Linux clients will not initially support the upgraded content but will support the Classic client. TransGaming are already working on the new features needed in the underpinning technology (the Shader Model 3 stuff) to be able to support the EVE Premium client and are targeting having support in place early next year but this is still in the early stages. We will keep you informed where this is at and what our expected delivery is for this support.”

One other thing to note is that the new “Premium” graphics are only on Windows system. At this point Mac users like myself don’t get that privilege.

P.S The Mac client runs like a dream and beats having to Boot Camp.

So happy about this! Been playing Eve Online for a year and a half now and love it.

It runs great in Vista, but Mac OS has so many better screen capture programs than just fraps! Time for Eve Combat vids to get an upgrade with Mac users!

“but not all of us are privy to Intel goodness,”

Just so you know.. the Mac version of eve online only works on Intel-based Macs.

hint for those in euro zone: you can buy the game time codes at an internet store in USD and save a lot of money due to cheap USD->EURO exchange ratio

To remove any confusion:

Trinity is the name of EVE’s current graphic engine which launch with the game back in 2003.

Trinity is also the “new” name for the patch previously called Revelations 3.

The new graphics engine, currently slated to go live with the Trinity patch in early December, is Trinity 2.

A bit confusing I’ll admit!

I’ve been playing even since early ‘04, and can only say that with the new player base of mac and linux users joining, eve will suddenly jump from 25 thousand people on at once to hopefully 50 thousand people on at once. Good or bad thing, only time will tell.

Trinity isn’t the name of the new graphics engine, but is the name of the next expansion, the new graphics engine just happens to be part of the deal.

I recommend everyone at least tries it, it’s a damned good game.

I think Trinity is the name of the next graphics engine, not the mac client. Also, Codeweavers have given the ability to run eve online for quite a while now.

I will be trying this out as soon as it lands, thanks for the heads up. I guess the questions now will be, how well is it going to perform on my aging iMac…any beta testers out there care to comment? Ah well we will see soon enuf

I’ve been playing EVE as my only game for 3 years … very addictive game, and a great, mature audience.

Getting a Mac client, means i can finally ditch my old windows box entirely.
