I works if I remove all the quotes around file pathes and variable names... so no iskies :p But big thanks, because I couldn't get the previous inotify version to work :)

I think you got your eveFolder variable escaped? (Escaping spaces)

You can do it both ways - but I usually prefer to quote stuff - as an wrongly escaped path might cause unecpected things ;)

Yeah, I used some \ for spaces, so I had a funny effect when running the script with the quotes : it deleted the folder instead of it's content Cool

Snorlax: I just wanted to say thanks for putting your time in on this. I'm a developer myself and if your job is anything like mine I know how very very little free time you have to work on fixes not sanctioned by the higher ups. THANK YOU!!!!

I'd hope any linux users will post their thanks in this thread too so CCP knows we're still out there!

Rising the number of Linux EVE players.
I'm on Debian 6 with wine 1.4 (compiled) in binary Nvidia 295.33.

With CCP now fixing this issue (BIG thanks for that, CCP Snorlax!) I'm not sure wether I should post my somewhat very ugly temporary solution. It involves patching and recompiling wine from source and might break other windows apps (and possibly more).

But I was able to sit a Jita IV Station for at least 2 hours without a single crash. It might not work for you though. I didn't get feedback from the people in "Linux" so far.

Nevertheless it would be much better if the problem gets fixed either by CCP or the wine devs.

Edit: The patch above was created against wine 1.4 but also might apply against newer versions.


I will try this wine patch now to get over the weekend until the CCP update arrives. Thank you for that, Ny Draconis.

Man, thats the 4th separate wine version I'm patching and compiling today. Most of the time this works really well.

** Edit:
Patch works great on wine 1.4 on Debian Squeeze. Thanks very much.

Thanks for workarounds and the upcoming fix.

Also kudos to the person that figured out it was t3 ships causing the crash.

Works with 1.5.2 git trunk on Debian sid.

Thanks.

...not sure if it is the right guide though.

the guide is actual (in part of starting repair.exe with --server=sisi and starting eve.exe with /server:Singularity)

Tried today, found my mistake in command-line, successfully started Singularity client with
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="*msvcrt,*msvcr100,*msvcr90,*msvcr80=n,b" to patch
and then
env LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8 WINEDLLOVERRIDES="*msvcrt,*msvcr100,*msvcr90,*msvcr80=b,n" wine explorer /desktop=EVE-singularity1,1920x1200 "c:\\Program Files\\Singularity1\\eve.exe" /server:Singularity
to run Eve,


ArrowI see that client is NOT crashing on SiSi when I click in ship info of tengu to see preview,

thank you CCP Snorlax !Big smile

Patch applied against git master, and it works so far, it's pretty great. Thanks for this!

Seems there was a client patch today. I can fly my T3 in Tranquillity today! Yay CCP! And thanks for the help Snorlax! You rock!

With the client patch I crashed while previewing a proteus, but on the sisi server I was able to view a legion and tengu. Did the fix go live in this patch?

Hmm, of course after I say that, I switch to my proteus and crash. But I logged back in and I can fly my proteus.

[edit]
Until another T3 lands on grid. Sight. Oh well waiting for Mondays patch

I'm looking forward to seeing the patch notes, would be great to see something like;

FIX: A python issue that prevented EVE client working on wine.

God damn love a patch like this. Snorlax you rock!

Awesome! Looking forward to it.


Aside: my workaround that seems to work is just symlink of ships directory in cache to /dev/null.

That seems like a much better solution than the loop!

Just want to add my name to the list. Ive crashed twice so far, but have only today got my Eve install working with Wine.

My crashes are happening in space, at jump gates both times, and with ships present but I didnt have time to see if there were any t3 ships present. I am willing to bet there was though. Hoping Monday patch fixes.

Thanks very much for the simple fix. Works perfectly, except for the fact that I can't see T3 Cruisers, but who cares when there's an official fix coming!

Speaking of fixes, I just wanna say thank you CCP Snorlax for creating a fix for an unsupported OS! You'll probably be treated like a god among the Linux fanbase :)
