Well I dont know what I have changed. A few days ago eve was running fine, now all I get is the splash screen and then it hangs.

I get no errors from wine and the ExeFile.exe is using 0% cpu and no network bandwidth.

I have reinstalled eve into a new WINEPREFIX and wine and it still hangs.

Info :
kernel : 3.3.0-8.fc16.i686.PAE
wine : 1.5.1

I have dll overrides

[Software\\Wine\\DllOverrides] 1333562189
"*msvcr100"="native,builtin"
"*msvcr80"="native,builtin"
"*msvcr90"="native,builtin"
"*msvcrt"="native,builtin"
"*msxml3"="native,builtin"

[Software\\Wine\\AppDefaults\\ExeFile.exe\\DllOverrides] 1333562189
"*msvcr100"="builtin,native"
"*msvcr80"="builtin,native"
"*msvcr90"="builtin,native"
"*msvcrt"="builtin,native"

but I havent changed these since the new launcher appeared.

I really dont know what to try next. Without a real error being displayed I have nothing to search for to help resolve the issue.

Anyone have any ideas on what to try next?

Thanks

Could be anything. Check that you have a working Internet connection. Also check that OpenGL is still working. Sometimes can an automatic update overwrite the symlinks created by the Nvidia driver. It keeps happening to me and I need to reinstall the driver.

Loss is meaningful. Therefore is the loss of meaning likewise meaningful. It is the source of all trolling.

Well I finally tracked it down. It turns out that prelink was the problem.

I'm running Fedora 16 and prelink seems to affect the nvidia driver.

I editted the
/etc/sysconfig/prelink
and changed
PRELINKING=yes
to
PRELINKING=no

Then ran a
prelink -au
then rebooted.

Everything is working fine again now.

It appears many other things can be affected by this issue, like youtube playback.
