Linux

Works beautifully on Fedora 24, plasma spin.
It's worth installing playonlinux to get all the libraries and more.


Here is a dmesg https://gist.github.com/incoherent-lime/6fd297b39bb7d4dda5465d0a63ce2ad0

I've had a tinker with the AppID for steam but alas I do not own EVE on steam, anyone else had any success here?

Was running fine on Ubuntu 14.04 until the os crashed during an update patch. Now I can launch the launcher but the game client wont open. Never had any issues with the linux client, so I am a bit confused as to where the issue is.

Edit: False alarm. I guess I had to install Wine to get the required files and the EULA for the MS assets setup. All good again.

Thankyou to CCP Snorlax for your continued support of linux and allowing my laptop to play eve so that my wife wont kill me to use the desktop! o7

Open a terminal, cd to evelauncher directory, run ./evelauncher.sh. The output in the terminal may be useful.

The evelauncher.sh script sets up LD_LIBRARY_PATH and then runs ./evelauncher; this is all evelaucher.sh does. You should not run ./evelauncher directly as the variable is required to load the correct libraries. (There is an error in how LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set, where an empty entry, representing the CWD, is added when LD_LIBRARY_PATH is previously unset, but from your description, I doubt this affects you.)

This appears to be working perfectly on Arch Linux with an i5-3570k and a GTX 1070 with the proprietary drivers. I already had EVE working with a normal version of Wine because I didn't know this version existed, but this one works much better, and while I wasn't paying too much attention to CPU load before, this version seems to distribute the load across cores more evenly.

One thing I might test later is how this one deals with fullscreen. With the normal wine I had to play in fixed fullscreen because regular fullscreen would cause the game to freeze after alt-tabbing, and sometimes even when starting the game. Fixed fullscreen had no issues though, and that's what I like to use anyway.

Thanks CCP Snorlax, for pimping my game!

Edit: I noticed one thing that wasn't working. With vanilla wine, double-clicking in space made a blue target and line appear to show you the direction you were headed. That doesn't show up with this for some reason.

Edit2: Maybe I was just imagining it; the blue destination thing is back now.

Since the latest patch, gas clouds have disappeared for me. Otherwise, all seems well.

When I first started looking at EVE on Linux It was a huge disappointment to find so little information. I had been told by some of the veteran members of Providence "Linux? Yeah there used to be some people running EVE on Linux, well a couple of years ago, before the first goon war and before sound mind, when you had to warp uphill both ways to gates......".

For any Debian users out there I just did a clean install of debian 8.5.0 kde, and this process worked for me.

1. Do the Linux install process. I used the GUI and just went with the defaults.

2. Open a shell ( click the 'K' | All Applications | System | Terminal and use wget/curl to download the CCP Snorlax eve launcher. By default you'll be in your home directory, while this doesn't feel as clean as a package that would instal to /usr/bin or /usr/local/bin just deal with it.

#you don't need to sudo this and its probably going to break things later if you do
wget https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1043593.tar.gz
#it would be nice if there was a symlink to /evelauncher-current.tar.gz so a change of versions doesn't break scripts or instructions.

3. Since other posts that got EVE to work for different Linux distributions said to I installed the same stuff they did
sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386
#i dunno why they need to do this but a good guess is people who have posted issues with missing library files probably means a program wants 32 bit libs that don't get installed on a 64 bit setup by default.

sudo apt-get install libpng12-0:i386 libldap-2.4:i386
#libgnutls30:i386 was also listed in a post, but in debian this package doesn't exist, the closest is libgnutls28 but it has C and C++ specific packages. Not knowing which to use I left the package off completely.

4. I have an nvidia graphics card, so i have to install drivers from the non-free and the contrib repositories so I have to modify my apt sources.list. For the lazy you can cut and paste this one into the console. There was a prompt for me but you can safely ignore it.

sudo sed -i 's/main/main contrib non-free/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-driver
#this can take a little while
#previous command gave me a warning about missing firmware so I did this next one that probably doesn't apply to everyone
#sudo apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree
sudo apt-get install nvidia-xconfig
sudo nvidia-xconfig
#i really didn't change anything in the nividia applet its just what the nvidia instructions said to do and I closed it after not finding anything interesting.

4. I rebooted my computer to load the nvidia drivers, the firmware modules and the updated xconfig. It might sound like a lot but one thing I've learned about windows and linux is that when you put a driver on its usually best to do a reboot. Just click the 'K' and

5. Re-open a shell.
tar -xvf evelauncher-1043593.tar.gz
cd evelauncher
./evelauncher.sh

6. Eve launcher is now running! At least it did for me at this point. :-)


The CCP Snorlax launcher is outstanding, great work!

At this rate I won't have to pay for the next Windows OS and can blow all that money on PLEX instead...

According to Eve Updates, a recent release iterated the gas cloud assets using effects that depend on DX11. Since the Linux client is DX9 only, this may be why they disappeared (though, that entry said clouds would still render using the old model for DX9 clients).

But fear not. Another dev blog somewhere said they were phasing out DX9 entirely at some point soon, and I very much doubt they'd do so before having a solution in place for the Wine client (which both Mac and Linux users now use). I read some rumors from last year that CodeWeavers (who sell a Wine fork) was developing DX11 support, and that it should trickle down into Wine proper Soon™.

Is anyone having issues with the price history graphs in the market? When I select the tab for price history the "data" is plotted graphically, however it is missing all numerical references to translate the data points. This is the case for every item in the market.

Any ideas?

Everything up to the core dump you should be able to ignore. Unfortunately, someone else will have to help you figure out what causes the segfault or how to avoid it.
