HI guys, just a heads up regarding incoming changes that we're working on for the EVE Launcher. Whilst the usual caveats apply regarding supporting Linux, I would appreciate it if you could give it a whirl, and let me know if there's anything that could be an easy fix.

Here's the thread in the Test Server forum.

That's not the new Launcher though. Please read the first post in the thread I linked.

The version you're using is v.1.32 which is NOT v.2.1.528861-beta.3.

This is the proof everyone wanted about Devs not officially supporting Linux (as their right to), but still caring for our tiny island in the middle of the Altantic... :-P

currently updating sisi, will install launcher, test and give feedback.

old launcher (the sisi-one, not the tq-one) worked flawlessly without any overrides.

expect a detailed report if stuff goes wrong :D

By default in wine - builtin.

I gave the new launcher a try and unfortunately it doesn't work fully.

Some of my system information:
Quote:
$ inxi -F
System: Host: zero Kernel: 3.8.11-1-ARCH x86_64 (64 bit) Desktop: Xfce 4.10.2 Distro: Arch Linux
Machine: Mobo: Gigabyte model: 965P-DQ6 version: x.x Bios: Award version: F7 date: 11/08/2006

GLX Renderer: GeForce GTX 560 Ti/PCIe/SSE2 GLX Version: 4.3.0 NVIDIA 313.30



  • Launcher runs at both CPU cores to 100%
  • Can login
  • Could accept the EULA
  • Pressing the play button makes it say launching, but the client does not launch
  • Setting the option "close launcher when client runs" bypasses the launcher on up to date client and thus the client gets started
  • debug.log pretty much empty due to my WINEDEBUG=-all , will try again without the WINEDEBUG variable
  • cache/launcher log


The client itself is able to connect to Sisi and had no issues.

I gave it a go too and hers the result about how it went with the dev response about the errors I had.

Basically I ended up like this (just eng localisation):

So where to move from this point? About chrome and secure sides. Well when I tried to install windows version of chrome browser it crashed so cant really find out how does chrome behave under wine.

CCP Aporia's response in the other thread is not helpful.

Are you really considering breaking 10 continuous years of eve working on Linux for the sake of some cosmetic updates to your launcher?

Seriously guys, think about this one again please and try to help resolve the issue(s).

I'm not a programmer but sounds like it's linked to some authentication process failing somewhere. When it fails, content is not displayed, connection is not being established etc.

Not sure why CCP felt the need to change the current auth system.

Don't panic.

I also don't get why we need yet another useless launcher, but for now it's just on singularity and still a beta. This is what beta versions are for, so don't catastrophise.

Posting this here as well since it is most likely of interest to you:

We have pushed out a new launcher version that includes update certificates which fixed a similar issue with the mac launcher. Please give this version a try to see if it addresses the Error -7 issue you guys are seeing. :-)

It might be worthwhile trying to replace the certificate file found in the (launcher path)/appdata/EVE_Online_Launcher-2.1.(version)-beta.3.win32 folder with a more recent one, for example with the one located at http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem - hope this helps. :-)

The reason is that the certificate file we were shipping up to now seems to have some issues on Mac.

EVE launcher 2.1.534643
launcher.exe still uses a silly amount of cpu and I'm still getting an Error -7.

https://client.testeveonline.com/launcherv3/en?steam_token=&server=tranquility loads as it should
https://sisilogin.testeveonline.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=eveLauncherTQ&lang=en&response_type=token&redirect_uri=https://sisilogin.testeveonline.com/launcher?client_id=eveLauncherTQ&scope=eveClientToken in the iframe sso-frame only loads sometimes, the rest of the time it gives an error -7

Also, it seems like it's way too easy to find small html-parsers these days Smile
