I am running Eve on Linux for several days now. I noted better stability (network, gfx and gui) then the MAC OSC client. which is great :)
I do notice I have laggy sound, for everything inside of eve. Video goes fine without lag.

Anybody had the same issue and managed to fix it? I do not have this issue in other applications / games.
Running Ubuntu 8.5 on a iMac late 2011 edition.

Been running wine version of EVE for years with good results. Tried this new launcher and it looks great, everything works.
Fedora 24, MESA 11.2.2, AMD opensource driver.

I've just resubbed after seeing the improvement.

Running on Linux Mint 17.3 Cinnamon flavour. It worked straight out of the box without me needing to do anything wine-related. Additionally this is the best performance of Eve i have seen under linux running on wine. In fact it is so good it easily made me resub.

If there is ever a 'best CCP dev vote' CCP Snorlax gets my vote without a question.

Has anyone figured a way to have your window manager automatically sort multiple EVE clients? Doing it manually is quite the pain.

I read with envy all the tales of CCP Snorlax's client running flawlessly.

It doesn't for me. I can run it one time. It will attempt to download a new client which if I don't cancel it will crash to the desktop. Even if I do get EVE to play and log out I cannot get the client to run a second time it will eventually fail with the following:

[0712/132416:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(291)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale
Installed Qt WebEngine locales directory not found at location /home/andrew1/EVE/evelauncher/translations/qtwebengine_locales. Trying application directory...
Qt WebEngine locales directory not found at location /home/andrew1/EVE/evelauncher/qtwebengine_locales. Trying fallback directory... Translations MAY NOT not be correct.

evelauncher.sh: line 12: 3826 Aborted $dirname/$appname "$@"

The webengine part is not fatal as the client will run after complaining, but the NSS is as you can see a show-stopper and I have no idea why. The NSS packages are installed.

I am running EVE on PCLinuxOS 64 bit.

Any help with this problem would be appreciated.

Can you build the i386 version of launcher for 32bit platforms?

First off, Linux Mint 17.3 and everything seems to run.

I just can't figure out where my settings are in the version I usually ran, because when I copied the content of the old Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/Eve to the new one and logged, all settings were still the default.

I can't find anything name settings other than a folder called settings_Default in that location though, if this helps.

I'm sure this must have been asked before and I'm sorry if it's indeed the case.

Just tried this launcher on Arch Linux, and it worked flawlessly. I couldn't be happier.

Thanks much for the work on this, CCP Snorlax!

Could you please confirm that a 32bit version isn't coming REAL SOON?
If not I'll have to add some stuff to my skill queues as the Jessie upgrade will have to wait until my vacation next month.

I do not mind waiting a bit, I just don't want to risk emptying my skillq ueue.

Thanks!

No fear for your skillq, as that is kept online. You can just run the installer as it will see if you are on 32 or 64 bits.

I am running Antergos which is based off Arch Linux. Can someone tell me what it is that is wrong with my launcher? I have also tried standard wine, with DX11 disabled, corefonts etc installed and PlayOnLinux before this, both of which do the same thing; the launcher starts up fine but when I click play after entering login details, it acts like it's going to boot something up and the play symbol changes to a square stop symbol then just does nothing and goes back to a play symbol again.

Here are my launcher logs:

I just had a similar issue. For me it worked when I configured the launcher to use my own wine installation by using "/usr/bin/wine" as executable.

Did you do that just by configuring the wine path to be "/usr/bin/wine"?

I just tried doing that and a pop up box saying wine is being configured comes up, but the same thing follows.

Yes, that was enough to fix it for me.

This means the launcher is now available in 32bit as well?

Figured out how to run winetricks on the .eve/wineenv directory, this fixes the market browser no-text issue:

$ cd ~
$ WINESERVER=.eve/wine/bin WINE=.eve/wine/bin/wine WINEPREFIX=$HOME/.eve/wineenv winetricks corefonts

provided you have winetricks installed. Since the versions of wine are different I don't expect all the tricks to work, but corefonts will.

(You may also need to install cabextract which appears to be widely available for Linux).

I'm having the same problem where pressing the play button makes the username go green but the game doesn't launch. I have the exact same errors. Just when I was getting pumped, too. :(

had the same problem until i set the custom wine folder to /usr/bin/wine.

question: how do i set the WINEPREFIX for each account? I want to use different (audio) settings. the usual "export WINEPREFIX=.wine_eve" at least was ignored.

I can't find how to set custom wine folder either. Settings menu on the launcher has to such option.

Edit: found it.
