Eve Online is now on Macs and Linux! (Movie and 12 screenshots)
November 5th, 2007At last it’s here! Or it is tomorrow anyway. As foretold earlier here CCP Games’s Software Director, Erlendur S. Thorsteinsson, has indicated that the upcoming patch for EVE Online will include formal support for Mac OS X and Linux as well as a few minor fixes for the Windows XP client.

The developers have used Cedega directly integrated into the game for Linux and into Transgaming’s Cider portability engine for the Mac client.
Here’s what Erlendur had to say:
This update, Revelations 2.3, contains formal support for Mac OS X and Linux. It also includes a few fixes for all platforms. Stay tuned for the release notes.
The next expansion, EVE Online: Revelations III (codename “Kali 3″), was renamed to EVE Online: Trinity because we had to postpone factional warfare due to lack of time and resources.
So Trinity is Revelations III, not including factional warfare, but with drone improvements, heat improvements, EVE Voice improvements, tons of bug fixes, a new graphics engine and new art content.
Please note that Trinity (the expansion) contains Trinity v2 (the graphics engine; v2 not II). This renaming was never going to cause any problems…
(It’s not been decided what the expansion containing factional warfare will be called. The codename is currently “Kali 4″, it might be called Revelations III, Revelations IV or something completely different.)
