Contribtastic 2.0.3 Now Available (and way less unreliable)

Filed under: EVE-Central — Yann @ 3:31 pm

Contribtastic 2.0.3 (the EVE-Central.com upload client) is now available, and far less crashy than before.

Highlights include:

  • (Should) no longer reset its configuration at random
  • The autodetect logic for cache folders is now fixed and actually works now
  • EVE-Metrics uploading was removed (I know, kinda late)
  • Locating a cache folder manually will no longer thrash your disk and take minutes/hours to complete
  • Visual C++ Redistributables are now automatically bundled and installed for your convenience.

You can grab it from the download page at EVE-Central.com

  1. Works like a charm, great work! Thanks a lot!
    When can we expect the multi-client support? :-)

  3. After patching today 2.0.3 no longer uploads data.
    self-fixed: I changed the default Cache Folder
    ?

  4. Correct, it looks like the machonet version has changed.

    The next version will run in auto-detect all the time mode to alleviate thus hassle.

  5. The native OS X client is coming along (it scans but doesn’t upload yet). I have carriers to move! :)

  6. Thanks for your continued work on contribtastic. I’ve noticed that forced scan doesn’t seem as predictable as before. I.E. If I reload an item, and then force scan, it doesn’t always upload the new file. Was this intentional to reduce bandwidth requirements?

  7. Nothing intentional. It may be a symptom of the EVE client not committing its cache to file as early as it used to. I have noticed this behavior as well.
