Thanks, Snorlax, for getting this out there. Here's my setup:

gentoo Linux using the FVWM DE, nVidia GTX580 that *was* running whatever the latest wine was, and also the latest Qt. Gentoo is a rolling-release distro, and everything installed is pretty much the latest dev release.

Launcher loaded fine, launched EVE fine. Re-loading all the assets slowed everything down (the opening movie kept freezing, until eventually I just gave up and skipped it. Is there a way to pre-load that before the client launches? Like, a "preload movie and watch before client launch" button?)

Aside from that, it seems to work fine (minus the annoyance of having to re-load all my client settings, load a tab profile, etc.)

Awesome works. Many thanks.

You have an option somewhere in the launcher to just download ALL assets. Do that before bed if you have a slow adsl like me and it will be fixed tomorrow :)

Thanks CCP Snorlax :)

I would like to try this launcher, even though the other beta launcher (now official I suppose) is working okay with me.

But as I've read, it seems that running this native launcher will download everything again, and I cant afford that. Im on a limited data plan, and its not feasible downloading everything again just to test a new launcher :(

Wish it was possible to copy all the data I got right now working so that if anything it only downloads the special wine and thats it.

Is it?

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 :)

Tryed to execute in empty xorg session (as i've done with wine) witn this script:


if [ ! -f /tmp/.X1-lock ]; then
    gksudo xinit -- :1 & nvidia-settings --load-config-only
    sleep 5
fi

export DISPLAY=:1

cd /media/2TB/gamez/evelauncher && ./evelauncher.sh

and get this error:


[0604/173807:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(304)] locale_file_path.empty()
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

in current xorg all fine.

Thanks for your work!

PS: Ubuntu 16.04 x64

Cheers to Kismeteer who pointed out some technical details. If you like me moved to this from running under Wine you accordingly might want to do these things:

To keep your settings, move the according settings-folder(s) (you might have several, each one has the folders "settings" and "cache") from $HOME/.wine/drive_c/users/$USER/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE to $HOME/.eve/wineenv/drive_c/users/$USER/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/c_tq_tranquility (name it like settings_YOURNAME and you will be able to choose between different ones in the launcher with YOURNAME).
To keep your old logs in the same place as the new ones (from chats etc.) copy/move $HOME/EVE to $HOME/Documents/EVE.

Ingame browser produces crashes (Debian Jessie), but limited to the tab/browser, so I stayed logged in at least (i.e. the client didn't crash entirely). Any hints how to get that 32Bit library to a 64Bit installation on Debian? Or even better, how to get it to use the amd64 version? Shouldn't that be able to handle any 32Bit requests as well? Or will this be included in the "binary package"?

The ingame browser works fine on my machine, Ubuntu 15.10. Not sure what is causing it to crash for some players.

If you are willing to get into it, I'm all yours to gather information if you need me to.

Did you install 32Bit libraries as well? Earlier posts mentioned those would be needed? I did try installing gnutls-bin but that didn't change anything. And I do not have 32Bit repositories ...

P.S.: Availability and installed versions:

First, porting to a totally different APi take a ton of time and add a ton of new bug to fix...

Then, D3D9 is more cross platform than vulkan right now.

Vulkan support on linux is limited to radeon 290x+ and recent nvidia
Native d3d9 via nine is available from radeon 4 serie and older nvidia and of course, when not available, wine can convert it to opengl.. Vulkan does not have a opengl converter available yet.

Vulkan is not available on osx yet from my last news but guess what, d3d9 can be translated to opengl with wine :)

So d3d9 is more cross platform. Work the best on Linux with nine and then Windows support of d3d9 is just behind.. Followed far behind by the translator (wine) but still, work on all platforms including the BSDs who will maybe get vulkan in 2032.

If CCP where to make a new game with an engine from scratch, Vulkan would be the best choice as by the time they get it ready, osx and more Linux drivers would get proper Vulkan support.

So, reply #105 is still unanswered :P

What gets downloaded in this native version of the launcher?

Is it possible to copy/paste what I already have so it doesnt download anything else besides the special wine and special settings?

Sorry, must have overlooked this.

Sure, you can copy the shared cache. Install the native launcher, then copy the shared cache from the Wine installation over to ~/.eve before starting it up.

The shared cache will be somewhere under your Wine env folder (~/.wine by default) - should be a folder called SharedCache next to the Launcher folder.

I am very excited about this so I tried to get it to run.

I have been wanting to switch to Linux from Windows and only eve was keeping me from that so yesterday I installed the latest Linux Mint with Cinnamon on my machine after verifying the launcher and client worked just fine on my Manjaro VM (very slow though).

After a clean install of Mint the launcher starts up but when i click "play" it changes the triangle next to my account to a square and the statusbar is doing its animation, but it never actually launches the client. After a while the square turns back into a triangle and it is like I never pressed the "play" button.

I have a feeling that I am missing something.

I am running on an i5 with a AMD radeon r9.

I tried installing the latest drivers by AMD but the installer says it is incompatible to my version of X. The driver I tried comes from here:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/linux

Mint comes with a different version of the same driver, which I have installed.

Thanks for any help!
