Hi!

I know there are a lot of people who love open source and Linux. I am one of them too. I've been trying to run EvE on Ubuntu with Wine 1.4 but every time I tried I failed. But with Wine 1.6 everything works great!

How did I make it:

1) Open the terminal and write this to add wine ppa. "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa"
2) Install wine 1.6 from software manager.
3)Type this to get required libraries : "winetricks corefonts d3dx9_36 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010"
4) Run winecfg and select -> Libraries -> [New override for library: ] d3d11 -> Add -> Edit... -> Disable
5) Then repair your client with repair.exe
6) Run eve.exe with wine and it works!

(Sorry for my bad English but I wanted to share, there could be someone who doesn't know how to do this.)

Yes, I got it to work too, but my ship is black and the background in the station is black except for the lighting effects.. any ideas?

Do people still google stuff these day's?
It's an old issue that has the solution pasted over the internet (even on these forums).

Anyway check this out -> sigh

Just wanted to leave a "thank you," it works, launcher and all! Big smile I didn't have to run repair to get it to start, though... Should I still run it anyway?

If the process works, you don't have to do the repair process. It's not necessary.

I know my card supports S3TC, but I don't see an option for it in driconf... Help?

EDIT: I think I got it.

I have wine 1.6 and Linux Mint 15 (based on Ubuntu 13.06)... Have latest beta drivers for Radeon HD 7870... Still around 30fps on highest settings. I had almost 100fps back in Mint 14 with latest drivers (after some mingling in wine and PlayOnLinux) but now only ~29 FFS.

Raging hard.

Confirming this also works with Wine1.5 and I too was having trouble with Wine1.4 X

Thanks to this post though I managed to figure it was Wine1.4

I just saw this yesterday and Im giving it a try. So far Wine 1.6 installed with winetricks, but the others you mention to install dont appear (it cant find them on my current repos, which is right after a clean install, only ppa I have is wine).

I also wanted to ask if you guys are running the non-propietary driver (Gallium) or the fglrx (for Amd/Ati).

Ubuntu Mate 16.04.2 64bit // Amd A8-5600K with RX460 4GB // 6GB DDR3 // Sandisk 120GB SSD Plus // Wine Stable 2.01 // Native Linux Launcher // TS3 working // Happy to be back in Ubuntu :)

In my experience, most of the FPS woes are related to open/proprietary drivers for the gfx card.

As much as we love to hate closed source binary blobs, the native drivers for the card outperform (at the moment) the free ones.

At least with nvidia, you can't go wrong by using the nvidia drivers, and squeeze all the juice your GeForce can provide.

Linux mint 16 (64bit)
did same steps as you wrote.

Now when I hit PLAY on the launcher nothing happens, it's showing "launching" but game won't launch.


EDIT:

ok noticed now that the repair program stops at step 4\7 and when I close it it states some error occurred.
tried now to use the "repair" again and it stops on stage 2\7 stating game repaired successfully.

basically I open the launcher and log int > hitting play > button change to "Launching..." > button turns back to "Play" and nothing happens.

EDIT 2:
I think I may identified a problem.
I've added the ppa you wrote in the OP for wine but instead 1.6 it installed wine 1.41 ....
so how do I Install the newest wine version vie the package manager then?

EDIT 3:
usin the guide on this link:
http://www.tecmint.com/install-wine-on-ubuntu-and-linux-mint/

I (after fully uninstaling old version) installed wine 1.7 with winetricks etc...
the I re-do'd all of the steps on this guide.
also re installed eve.

and d-amn it's working perfectly, got 50 fps on almost maxed graphics, had to use dx9 and some lower setting ofc due to linux non native client but works smoothly except the in station environment which I had to disable.
well done.
