I managed to get EVE up and running rather easily on Manjaro Linux (Arch) last night and the performance is more than acceptable! The one issue I'm having is the cursor tends to flicker which is surprisingly distracting believe it or not. I'm on the latest proprietary drivers, any ideas? I had similar problems in another game whereby enabling "Hardware Mouse" resolved it but I cannot seem to find the same option in any of the EVE configs.

Any ideas? (Screenshot on desktop below!)

You can usually ignore the fixme messages. If you don't want them, launch wine with WINEDEBUG=-all

Just an update for launcher problems:

#\ Batch files to launch the exefile directly:
/usr/bin/env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" DISPLAY=":0.0" /usr/bin/aoss wine explorer /desktop=eve1,1024x768 "C:\Games\CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe"
#And to do a second instance:
/usr/bin/env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" DISPLAY=":0.0" /usr/bin/aoss wine explorer /desktop=eve1,1024x768 "C:\Games\CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe"

I was just about to write "Yeah, everything runs smooth on 12.04 with the new launcher - but no. Launcher "closes" but process stays there keepin its 100%.

Meh.

The laucher fix batch works great though.

Hi all, was running okay on Tuesday, using Exefile.exe, but now crashing after a minute or so - game locks up, unable to exit without killing process.

Not entirely sure what I need to post that's relevant atm, but:

Ubuntu 12.04, Wine 1.5.31.

Overrides:
d3d11 (disabled)
d3dx9_36 (native, builtin),
msvcr100 (native, builtin)
msvcr80 (native, builtin)
msvcr90 (native, builtin)
msvcrt (native, builtin)

Should I try to reinstall from scratch? Any thoughts appreciated.

I've been running the game just fine with default settings. No overrides needed for the launcher or exefile. Performance seems a little sluggish loading resources, CQ sucks, but in general works well.

Wine: 1.5.31

Possibly a little late, but since you're running latest Wine, I'd start by removing all the overrides. I needed msvcr90 for the old launcher, but that's all I've needed for the last several versions of Wine, and the new launcher seems to be stable without it (knock on wood).

(I did need the awesomium patch to get the new launcher fully working, though.)

My Ubuntu 12.04 Wine 1.5.31 updated and patched fine from the launcher. The launcher then crapped out, so I started from ExeFile.exe and it worked fine.

My Win7 EVE update failed. I'm in the middle of doing a repair / validating client loop on Windows while trying to figure out the new stuff with no obvious glitches (other than the normal post-big-patch buggery) on Linux.

Hey Zor, thanks for the advice. I removed the overrides, then updated and patched from the launcher which, as with previous poster, crapped out. Started from EveFile.exe but had same problem as before.

Ended up reinstalling Eve and now running fine from Evefile.exe with no overrides, so happy enough with that.

Can't make head nor tail of git patching, so I guess I'll come back to that when it becomes necessary.

Thank you Kismeteer. You're a bawse. Works. Took ages, but I was looking forward to this for two years.

Now back to square one. Seems to log in okay using Evefile.exe, crashes after a minute or so. Sad

Git patching now necessary I guess.

Edit: is the Awesomium patch simply a fix for the launcher issue, or is it likely to have any effect on running Eve itself?

The Awesomium patch is simply to correctly handle certificate handling (i.e. https stuf and has nothing to do with any of the eve software aside from the fact that the launcher requires proper https to do it's crap), it has no influence on the client itself. Your client crashing would not be resolved by patching your wine with the awesomium patch.

I for instance did not do the awesomium patch because I don't care about the launcher since I prefer the EveFile.exe method and for me the client doesn't crash (aside from the occasional crash).

Thanks Nebu, that's appreciated. The launcher doesn't really bother me greatly, just looking to get Eve running at this point. Currently restarting from scratch on a fresh Wine prefix. If that doesn't work I'm stumped.

Can you do the following:
Install inxi (it's a small script to obtain your system information) linky

Then run $ inxi -F
This should return all the information for your system. Post that info here (not all of it is relevant so you can cut some of that out), that way others with potential ideas will know exactly what you are running.

Post your wine version and your full command that you use to start the game. I know you posted it before and it should be 1.5.31, but it's nice to have all your info in 1 post together.

What are your wine overrides? I think that I run without any overrides (got to check at home), not even the DX11 override (considering eve doesn't use DX11, it shouldn't ever try to use that dll).

What are your ingame GFX settings? Does chaning them to lower setting make the game crash as well?

When trying to run the game, make sure that your WINEDEBUG variable isn't set to disable all output (you can disable the fix-me messages though -> linky) or else it will be difficult to get an idea what's wrong. Obviously you need to be running the game from the terminal or else you won't get any output. Post the output here (use pastebin).

Hopefully this can lead us to fixing your issue.

I'm using ./ExeFile.exe in .wine/drive_c/"Program Files"/CCP/EVE/bin to start the game.

I'm currently using no overrides, as suggested.

GFX currently set to absolute minimum, so Anti-Aliasing Disabled, Post Processing None, Shader Low, Texture Low, LOD Low, Shadow Disabled, Interior Effects Low, Interior Shader Low.

I also have audio and Eve voice disabled.

Terminal output here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5743111/

As previously: Eve loaded, seemed fine, then locked up after about a minute - maybe a little less. Was unable to exit without killing process.

Any thoughts gratefully appreciated.

Unfortunately I can't find anything of importance in the information you posted. I suggest you start a post at the wine forums because I have no idea why your client crashes nor why there is no errors showing up in your terminal.

You could also try to run the eve online logserver to see what those "A traceback has been generated. It has been logged in the log server as stacktrace #1" messages actually are.

That's because no important debug channgels were enabled.
You'd probaby want to start with +seh, then +heap and +relay. Though you'd also probably want to redirect the log to some file instead of pouring it into console.

Also running in virtual desktop is probably worth trying.

I'm probably doing it wrong, but...

Running Eve using command WINEDEBUG=+seh,fixme-all wine ExeFile.exe, terminal output. Same as before, as far as I can see.

Using command WINEDEBUG=+heap,fixme-all wine ExeFile.exe, terminal constantly scrolling, Eve didn't load. Screenshot.

WINEDEBUG=+relay,fixme-all wine ExeFile.exe, same as +heap. Terminal constantly scrolling, Eve didn't load. Screenshot.

Tried virtual desktop but experienced same problem.
