Linux

Hi there,

I'm trying to get EVE running via wine 1.7. Most of it works, and I think the game is playable as it is.

But:

Even though S3tc is running (even force enabling it) textures won't load. What I see: ships and stations are completely transparent (not black as some sources report), but lightbeams do work. Planets do have a skin but the lighting / shading is wrong (seems like no shades). The 'invisible' ships and stations are of course rather annoying, and I'd rather spend time solving this than playing under those circumstances.

Relevant system specs:
Ubuntu 13.10 (also tried in a different installation, Lubuntu 13.10, exactly the same)
Radeon 7950, I haven't tried different drivers as most things seem to work with the Ubuntu standards...
wine1.7 (apt-get from repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa), but the same occurs in wine1.6

I can find texture issues related to S3 texture compression not working, but that seems working fine according to glxinfo. Otherwise I can't seem to find it on winehq, these forums, or google...

If I missed a thread (or any website) where a similar problem is solved, please refer me. (even though it might be a 'simple' thing I should have noticed and tried before)

Otherwise: would anyone know what to do? I'd hate to have to step back into my windows install for this.

If I should try different display drivers, which ones would you recommend for my GPU? Is there any output I could generate that would help with diagnosing the problem?

Cheers and TIA!

Using a 7950 myself I haven't had any luck with the radeon drivers yet, fglrx however is working fine, so maybe try those. I'm using 14.3 beta, but the current stable 13.12 should work as well
