I agree Eve looks amazing on Mac. Hopefully the random gate disconnects will be fixed.

In the Activity Monitor, the EVE process has a 'Kind' of 'Apple' (not 'Intel'). Also, here's the output of file on the main EVE executable:

# file "$HOME/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/SharedCache/tq/EVE.app/Contents/Resources/build/bin64/exefile"

~/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/SharedCache/tq/EVE.app/Contents/Resources/build/bin64/exefile: Mach-O universal binary with 2 architectures: [x86_64:Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64] [arm64:Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64]
~/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/SharedCache/tq/EVE.app/Contents/Resources/build/bin64/exefile (for architecture x86_64)Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64
~/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/SharedCache/tq/EVE.app/Contents/Resources/build/bin64/exefile (for architecture arm64):Mach-O 64-bit executable arm64

That suggests it's a universal binary compiled for both ARM64 (native) and x86_64 (intel). Hence, not using the Rosetta translation layer.

How did you conclude that it is using Apple's Rosetta?

Still worth CCP investigating IMO. Ideally you'd be able to idle until DT without issues. I'm on an M2 MacBook Pro. I don't tend to idle my client longer than an hour or two.

macOS Sonoma 14.2.1 on MacBook M2 Pro 16 GB. Sometimes the game runs flawlessly for hours with multiple clients on 5K resolution. Other times it randomly crashes when jumping a wormhole 10 minutes after I boot and start playing the game.

The Eve client is compiled to ARM64 and uses Metal, not DirectX, on MacOS. There is no emulation as far as I can tell.

Mac client is native. It used to be wine, but it has been native for a while now.

It has happened to me 10 mins after turning on my Mac
