P3s are so old I don't even have them around as spare parts. Anyone want my Prescott Pentium 4 3.0 GHz CPU and mobo I have in the garage? I'll throw in the Radeon x1650 and Diamond sound card and 1GB of RAM
I'd take them. I keep all kinds of spare parts in my puter workshop. I put together old systems and use them for testing apps on them, for file servers, for running legacy games on older OS', and to give to kids for a first system. Heck, I still have an operational C64 & 128, a 286, a few old Macs, and hardware for everything in between them and now. Let me know if you're serious about giving them away. |

I have no doubt the affected players will vehemently and boisterously voice their furious anger in this thread as soon as their carrier pigeons can deliver their posts.
Edit: that is if their computers are able to launch Netscape 1.2, then subsequently load eveonline.com, register their mouse click on the news item, and load said web page before windows 3.1 encounters another catastrophic DLL error.
My athlon 64 doesn't seem to have any problems launching Firefox, browsing eveonline.com, registering my wireless mouse's clicks, all while watching The Expendables on VLC on XP. |

I have an Athlon xp 2400+ which I still use and happily runs Eve, but it's no more than a backup machine now to be honest.
Sounds like someone built a library without legacy CPU support, I'd be curious as to which libraries are causing the problem. Or maybe I should just try running SiSi on my old machine. |

Yeah I am running Eve (or rather I was running) on really old Athlon 2200 and its working fine... I can even play on 2 accounts at once!
I know I need to upgrade sooner or later Its that I would like to know about it in advance and NOT two days earlier! |

Zulu, embrace the moment, and grab the opportunity as it presents itself: this would be a good moment to recompile the entire client --march=pentium4 --with-sse --with-sse2.
Just saying. |

Umad? --march=pentium4 would optimize the code for that lovely 31-stage Pentium 4 pipeline, so I would prefer a standard generic-build with SSE support enabled and --mtune=core2 instead. Also, I doubt CCP uses GCC. |

Welp. I guess it's a good thing I was thinking about taking a break from Eve anyway. Though being able to run it on an older processor was one of the reasons I started playing it. Ah well :-\
Dude. Upgrade.
I was seven years old when the Pentium III was released. Do you feel old now? |

Yeah, to make it clear then the AMD Athlon 64 CPUs will not be affected. It's only the Athlon XP's and older that will be deprecated. |

You just made my fiancee very angry. She thought I was done with this game finally. |

i got a pc with a p3 750, 2 gb ram, 7900 gt video card.
i use it mostly to run some websites on it, but it can run 2 clients of eve just fine. low settings of course.
is not my main rig, but was nice to be able to do a team viewer on it, and change skills when i was away, in places with limited internet acces.
so ... /frown. |

Honestly, supporting a standard that is running for already 10 years is impressive. But with the ever changing world of computer hardware I think it's a mandatory change. A lot of game studio's are already saying bye bye to that era, glad CCP does it now. Holding back an update because of the ~1000 players not being able to play afterward is a bit silly if the rest of the base is not affected. I welcome the new features the future brings, give us more revolutionary EVE things  oh fyi, I said bye bye to P3 already in 2001 |

It's time for some people to spend a few bucks to get a new CPU from eBay (if they can't afford the 200-300$ required for a supercomputer - compared to what they have) |

This may be APEX, I believe. PhysX SDK 2.8.4 you're using is compiled with SSE2 |

I don't like that. My 2nd machine is a Athlon 3000+ XP with Socket A (no I can't buy an other CPU, cause all Socket A's don't have SSE2 AFAIK). I would like to have a warning, a saying what could go wrong and then I would like to start EvE. Maybe you should define better what hardware your game is running at...  |

PhysX DLLs for sure. Just recently they have been updated to use SSE2 ;-) Originally by: Illectroculus Defined
