You tried to install a new version of Wine yourself? Or are you on CentOS?

https://www.centos.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=50175 - first hit search on CentOS, need a recompile with PNG support.

Please include (from OP): Please include your OS (cat /etc/lsb-release), wine version (wine --version), and video card (lspci | grep -i vga). For nvidia card, if module is loaded (lsmod | grep -i nvidia) and your nvidia driver version (nvidia-settings) is good.

PS. Save your stuff. Reinstall Ubuntu 14.04. Or playonlinux. Or Mint. Or Arch. Or crunchbang. Or anything else Debian based. Friends don't let friends use CentOS.

Errrrrm. WHATShocked
You sir are an inspiring archeologist.

That's too old. Install wine from PPAs (it also probably has in dependencies the things you are missing).

Woohoo it's working. What an adventure, the problem was caused by an old install I made from source back when ?? because ?? but it's going now and as I said, working properly.

Thanks so much for the help!

Also means I can confirm this guide works for 15.04.

Thanks for the heads up. I do NOT recommend using 15.04. Stick to 14.04 LTS, always LTS with Ubuntu.

I am considering including the CPU affinity to the scripts, thoughts on this?

for me everything worked out of the box on my Acer C720 Chromebook, Ubuntu 14.04 and wine 1.7 (I might had to restart it once or twice, don't quite remember)
..except 1 bug, wine was missing arial.ttf font, so my market history window didn't render any text. After I got that font file there, all is well so far

you can try restricted applications

sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras

(just my initial thought)

Worked for me too.
Kubuntu 15.04
wine-1.7.44
GeForce 210 (I know, I know...)

The offline installer files didn't work for me. When I launched the installer, it would load and freeze. But the standard installer worked super smoothly, and did not take me too long to dl the stuff! Thank you!

Recently switched this box over to Kubuntu 15.04 64bit with Wine 1.7.44 Plasma 5.2.2 using fglrx drivers for ATI Radeon 7870. I tried installing per instructions using offline installer and installation would hang after initializing Eve window. I tried everything again using online installer and it went through to completion in a blink of an eye with no problems. I am getting 60 fps consistently around stations and in asteroid belts with no hiccups so far at 1920 x1080 75 Hz full screen. Using i5 3570K at 3.4 so I have not tried to overclock like it was in Windows. I am new to the Linux environment but I am liking the Kubuntu KDE desktop so far. Thanks for this post it helped immensely.Big smile

I'm having trouble with setting up the shell scripts. How did you write them?

# This runs in .wine, with standard display, using the desktop variable 'eve1' with a size, with a location.
/usr/bin/env WINEPREFIX="$HOME/.wine" DISPLAY=":0.0" wine explorer /desktop=eve1,1024x768 "C:\Games\CCP\EVE\bin\exefile.exe"

"# This is your launcher shell script. Use it when you have updates to run. I save this in ~/bin/e1" wrote:

These are written in bash and just launch eve in the simplest way possible.

If you are having difficulty, just put the info we request in the OP, and run the script by doing 'bash -x ./e1' or whatever path to your e1 script is. This will show the commands. Then paste it in here.

Something like this:

sudo chmod +x "/home/navy0684/.wine/dosdevices/c:/Program Files (x86)/CCP/EVE/bin"

sudo chmod 755 "exefile.exe"

Couldn't load the latest update with my old drivers, had to upgrade to the latest nvidia ones.

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=5995469#post5995469

Repasted here:


  1. Download latest driver: https://www.nvidia.com/download/index.aspx Select your card, use "lspci | grep -i vga" and Linux 64-bit to use it.
  2. Logout of X
  3. Go to console shell account using Control-Shift-F1 and login
  4. Stop X sudo /etc/init.d/lightdm stop
  5. Run the Nvidia drivers as root. Mine was: sudo bash Downloads/NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-352.30.run
  6. Accept agreement, install the 32 bit versions of stuff, allow it to alter your xconfig.
  7. Reboot
  8. Login to X
  9. sudo nvidia-settings
  10. On X Server Display Configuration, Dragged second monitor screen, and hit apply, and save.
  11. Started Eve Launcher
  12. Went to gear icon in the upper right (options), and changed mode to DX9 only, and hit save. (Newest versions of nvidia has DX11 emulation, which doesn't work.)

I'm gonna ask few questions. Please don't kill me as I'm very new to Linux. I want to configure to play EVE without launcher but I have trouble following guide in the first post. Here are my questions:

1. 7.Setup a few shell scripts. save no update script in ~/bin/v1". save update script in ~/bin/e1

Ok, how do I create this script and make it run? Is it a text file I create? I have my EVE installed in below path:
/home/myuser/PlayOnLinux's virtual drives/EVEonline/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/bin


Do I need to create new folders e1/v1/e2v2 and so on for each client?


2. 8.For multiple instances, you copy ~/bin/v1 to ~/bin/v2, and edit the file to use 'eve2' instead of 'eve1' on the command line. This can be as many as your machine can handle.

Which file I edit and how do I do that?

Wine: 1.7.50
Kubuntu 14.04, but can use Ubuntu 14.04 if that makes any difference.

When I start EVE, log and select a character I get a black screen.

I can hear some sounds and open the option menu.

I would most likely confirm that your nvidia drivers are working properly. If you look at the top of your eve logs when you actually log it, it might spit out what is wrong with it. Try giving us the output of glxinfo.

I had this problem, and had this error:
fixme:d3d_surface:surface_cpu_blt Unsupported flags: 0x80000000.

I ended up having to go to the nvidia proprietary drivers. https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=442628&find=unread

Just sending out some gratitude for keeping this thread alive.

I've been having nightmare with Windows 8.1 and now 10 fighting driver issues...crashes...instability for days.

This thread has reinforced my inspiration to ban Windows from my home. haha

Thanks.

I'm sure I'll have questions along my journey...but I'll poke and prod this thread. TONS of useful content.
