Hello Guys!

I've been away from eve for real life problems, but now i have returned to normal life routines and i wanna come back in eve.

I've read about this december updates which srews up eve installations.

So... since i need to have a fresh install of eve on ubuntu 14.04 what do i have to do to get it running?
Can i follow the guide in this section or is not valid anymore?

Ty. See you in game soon (hopefully)

I believe installing WINE 1.8 should fix the problems most people had. I think this is the correct thread.

not any problem with latest wine version.

install wine from ppa :
http://wiki.winehq.org/Ubuntu

A script I gave on another thread to execute eve (place it somewhere in your PATH)
#!/bin/bash

prefix=~/bin/eveonline
launcher=launcher.exe
install="drive_c/EVE/eve.exe"

# wine prefix to install eve
prefix=~/bin/eveonline

#name of the launcher we download
launcher=launcher.exe

# windows internal installation, default is C:\\EVE
install="drive_c/EVE/eve.exe"


function run {
    echo run
    if [ ! -d "$prefix" ]; then inst ; fi
    WINEPREFIX=$prefix wine "$prefix/$install"
}

function inst {
    echo "instaling eve"
    mkdir -p "$prefix"
    if [ ! -f "$prefix/$launcher" ]; then
        link=$(wget http://community.eveonline.com/support/download/ -q -O - | grep binaries | grep exe | sed "s/.*href=\"\\(.*\\)\" class.*/\\1/g")
        echo "link resource is $link"
    wget "$link" -O "$prefix/$launcher"
    fi
    WINEPREFIX="$prefix" wine "$prefix/$launcher"
}

function clean {
    rm "$prefix/$launcher"
}

function del {
    rm -rf "$prefix"
}

if [ $# -eq 0 ]; then
   run
   exit 0
fi

case "$1" in
"run") run ;;
"inst") inst ;;
"del") del;;
"clean") clean;;
*) echo "unknown option $1";;
esac


on first run it will install it.

tried you script.

it executes till the launcher start, but then an error pops up. Something about a qtwebengine.exe.
And the launcher hangs on.

What can i do?

After some tries looks like the launcher is actually downloading eve now.
Still i can't see anything. Just a blue square. Only the top right buttons are working.

Run "winetricks corefonts d3dx9_36 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 vcrun2012 vcrun2013" Additionally my install was missing "lib32-libldap". I am not running LTS, look for libldap if there is no package. Start winecfg in a terminal, go to libraries and add "d3d11" and set to disable.
