no more crashes, I can finaly play.

however I noticed a GFX glitch, the engine trail (exhaust fumes for a lack of better word) now have clipping problems. I can see their origin points through the other side of my ishkur.

anybody has the same ?

it's not a big deal, just noticed it today.


I see them, and my running lights shine through my ship.

That's completely unrelated, that glitch has been there for pretty much forever.

Yup, sometimes it goes with some versions of wine or eve, then it comes back a few month later.

If you guys missed it someone really had their head screwed on backwards when they saw the patch notes:

So apparently we are wining and CCP made a bad job because they used a built in function i python that doesn't work properly in wine. Well well I guess you learn something new everyday. What?Roll

Again big thanks to CCP Snorlax for the help! Most of us know that wine isn't supported and appropriate any help we get with running Eve on our favorite OS.

After reading that thread I want to again thank CCP and CCP Snorlax for allowing me to continue to play.

Shocked

That Aphoxema guy has serious problems. Straight

Probably CCP Snorlax (praise be unto him!) just swapped "os.open(...)" for "open(...)" or something equally trivial in dealing with T3 cache files, posted a total of three messages (one of which clearly after icelandic work hours), became an instant hero in our sub-community, but also apparently wasted time and money in order to help a whiny minority.

I think I can roll my eyes till they literally fall on the floor... Roll

The weird part is no one in that other thread had a clue what they were talking about. We were off in our own forum trying to figure out a work around, and a CCP dev decided to help us out (possibly on his own time). Some how we became a bunch of whiners wasting CCP's time.

Former forum cheerleader CCP, now just a grumpy small portion of the community.

I believe the next scheduled client update is on Monday and this fix will be included in that.


I've been plexing my accounts since the "18 months" fiasco waiting for some sign from CCP. The fact a dev was allowed enough leeway to take care of the bastard sons of Eve has given me enough reason to re-sub.

2 accounts just re-subbed is my way to say thanks to CCP Snorlax Cool

Well this issue helped everyone in this thread continue to play the game. Also I too have two accounts and will be renewing both in the next month. If this issue had gone on though I would not be renewing either.

Snorlax spent maybe 8-16 hours of his time and saved the company all the players in this thread from bailing...not to mention all of the other linux players that choose to remain silent. He's well earned his keep to CCP for this.

I completely see the point from CCP. It's easier to let the community fix most problems. However it would be nice to know how many eve-linux users are out there so CCP can get a better feel for why just throwing 1 developer at testing and fixing wine/eve related issues is worth while. Even if you do not fully support linux it would be nice to know they'll do what they can when they can. By my rough guestimate 600-700 linux account players easily pay for a developers salary if that developer's entire purpose was to test and support linux. As we saw in this thread linux does not require a full time developer to support it. So if there are 900->1500 linux accounts or more I'd be willing to guess CCP would see value in supporting our platform if they had 1 developer sitting around with a linux hat twiddling his thumbs on most days...

Any thoughts on how to get CCP those numbers?

Try disabling shadows / bloom / postprocessing, i clearly remember one of these things causes such issue to appear.

Try disabling anti-aliasing, fixed it for me.

I am still seeing hard freezes when EVE runs under WINE/Linux with today's update. Without it does it run stable and is also running stable under Windows Vista.

Hardware is AMD Phenom 9850 (quad-core, 2.5GHz), Nvidia GeForce GTX260, Linux kernel 3.2.12, 295.40 Nvidia driver. No heat issues, no over-clocking, all cables checked, power draw well below maximum. Best guess I have is it is a software lock-up in the kernel/gfx driver. Sad

I still have not found a cure for it, but I believe now it is not a WINE/EVE issue but the result of the combination of kernel/X11/Nvidia driver, which gets magnified by it. I have found a few reports where others get similar random freezes from a range of applications. If I ever get to the bottom of it and before it resolves itself (the magic of Linux...) will I post another comment on it.

the last change was shadows on, so that might be it. I never switched on shadows before.

ditch (un-toggle) your anti-alias setting in the graphic tab of the client Escape menu.
That clears the irritation of exhaust trail glow poking through the hull up for me.

and stroke the Snorlax while you are here,.
