Thanks for reporting this. Is your driver is somewhat up-to-date and are you using dx9 or dx11 for EVE?


Updated my driver after the first 2 crashes. I have not changed my DX version. How might I try using DX9 instead?


Launcher, cogwheel icon up-right corner, and there should be a tab named directx or something.

Ah! Understood. I only use the launcher to update my client. Will try that.

Turns out I can only use DX9. So, there's that option out.

I can also confirm these problems using Wine 1.7.11 and Linux 3.12. My driver would be the open source radeon driver (xf86-video-ati).

I know this doesn't help but, thanks for posting here because it's good to know the problem isn't restricted to Linux.

I just googled "2014 eve display adapter crash", didn't even realize I was in the Linux section when I found this thread. Derp. Glad to contribute all the same.

Confirming I have the same issue. Seems to happen with mouse movement. Running Gentoo with mesa 9.1.6, wine 1.7.11, and ati-drivers 13.12.

On the plus side I can still queue skills, so my current gameplay is pretty much unaffected.

I can confirm this problem also on the nouveau driver with kernel 3.11.10 and wine 1.7.8.

Confirmed with GeForce GTX760 and mesa 10.0.3/nvidia-331.38. Using Arch Linux x86-64.

On a side note, it's strange to see so many people with Wine 3-4 releases behind.

Has ANYONE heard anything from CCP about this issue? They seem oddly quiet.

I've got a petition in, I'll post in here when I get a reply.

Everyone else should put one in too, though!

Ubuntu 12.04 & Wine 1.7.11
Dual Core i5 & nVidia Optimus 620M (using bumbleebee drivers)

After the patch I logged in simply running the and I got to login but could not really see the characters
I managed to select main and login but everything was sort of transparent and unresponsive.

Solution:
* Clear EVE cache from Launcher settings
* In wine trick I disabled virtual desktop
* cd ~/.wine/drive_c/Program FIles x86/CCP/EVE/bin
* sudo optirun wine ./exefile.exe

Game now runs with no problems but only in full screen cant run it in windowed mode and cant turn
shaders from High to Low.

Same Issues.

Slackware 14 Multilib
Wine 1.7.8
ATI Radeon HD 5650
Lastest ATI Drivers

Problem seems to be isolated to layering of the interface. Any entities generated on top of a 3d accelerated window cant seem to find out what position they should be in, and react randomly to mouseover interaction. Worked fine before this patch.

There is a whole 14 page thread on the original issue that led to this patch, which broke wine and doesn't seem to have fixed the original issue for some (most?) windows user who are seeing it.
