CCP has announced the successful deployment of the Trinity 1.1 Boost patch for EVE Online.

Many of you have probably wondered what was going on behind the scenes at CCP. We have done our best to keep you updated through the Message Of The Day (MOTD) and the Downtime News page. During the deployment of Trinity 1.1: Booster Patch we discovered that specific items in the database had been incorrectly updated due to an error while updating the database.

Nice word play on the patch job!

Last night I realized that my machine is not adequet to play EVE with the flashy graphcis engine. My Pentium4 2.8 prescott is having SERIOUS issues...

Anyone have a good recomendation for a socket 478 upgrade that costs less then $200?

A typo in the header. It's a boost patch, not boot.

The problem isn't your CPU with the new premium graphics but your video card. You ahve to have a card that is capable of running model shadder 3.0. If you dont then you cant run the new graphics.

But that's no real hard ship, as you need a very good system to get the most form it and if you PVP a lot most players have turned of the premiun content and gone back to the standard graphics.

You can do this on the exc menu.

one other point. The new engine shifts the graphic load form the cpu to the video card, so what ever you were using before will be taking more of the load.  Before the cpu did all the work.

uhm, last I checked my card *still* supports Shader 3.0: http://www.hisdigital.com/html/product_ov.php?id=279&view=yes

that is almost my exact setup on my old system. It can run the new graphics but not very well unless you turn things down.
