It works for me on Fedora 22 XFCE spin with Intel HD 4400 graphics. The graphics are pretty slow (thanks Intel) so I put in a Radeon card. Oddly, the game ran, but the graphics were all black (no textures) when I tried to use the Radeon card. I threw Xubuntu 16.04.1 on that machine and Radeon graphics are working now as well.

Like some others, I had to install the Ubuntu version of wine before the evelauncher script would successfully start the client.

I'd like to thank Snorlax for saving me the $100 it would have cost to buy Windows just for this game. That's $100 more I can spend on PLEX Big smile

Hi Snorlax,

thank you very much for your effort. I just got rid of the windows trash completely and came back after a four years break and was so pleased that eve runs smoothly on Linux.

Running it with Ubuntu 16.04 and it works perfect.

Now that I get EVE to work once more, I would like to talk about this tiny issue about the launcher.


But first, good job the launcher works like a charm and even the update is working fine!


My issue is that switching between servers logs you out of the other servers Sad

Whenever I switch to SiSi my TQ login gets logged of and vice versa. Can you change this a little so both can stay logged on?

Have been using Eve Online client on Linux Mint for a couple weeks now. Works amazing! CCP Snorlax, you are truly a god among men. Cool

Snorlax,

Could you pls. update your binary tarball in your first post to
https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1056484.tar.gz
or if it is poss. update it to version 1064090 as it makes bit more sense with (re-)installing.

It works great on my desktop right from the beginning and with the ability to have it run with wine already installed,
hugh fps increase compared to the standard install.

Debian jessie 64bit, FX-8320 @ 4GHz, 16GB mem, 2x HD7870 in crossfire - not used by wine, wine-staging 1.9.16~jessie CSMT enabled.

Cheers

Since a couple of days now, I do have a weird "bug". I can't open any links at all any more. Neither from the launcher nor ingame. Can click on them, nothing happens at all, no browser is opening for me. Any ideas?

If I start EVE from my own local wine installation with the windows launcher, it all works.


Did some digging today, it seems to be a Qt bug.
When ever I try to open a link, I get the following message:
This application failed to start because it could not find or load the Qt platform plugin "xcb"
in "".

Reinstalling the application may fix this problem.
/usr/bin/xdg-open: Zeile 565: 30559 Abgebrochen             kde-open${KDE_SESSION_VERSION} "$1"


xcb is definitely installed, as I mentioned before, when I start EVE from the windows launcher using my own installed wine, all works fine, using the linux launcher, I get this behaviour.

I also noticed that the linux luncher comes with some libs and plugins for Qt 5.6.0, while on my system Qt 5.6.1 is installed. Maybe that already is the issue, a simple version mismatch?

It appears the update is not applying; perhaps a permissions problem. You should be able to move the old version and download the current version, if you can't get that fixed.

  1. Window becomes unresponsive (not updated) unless dragged to another workspace / head
  2. One of two accounts is not saved properly. I'm being asked for my password each time I start the launcher

Do you pin the account with the icon on the right of that account? I did have a problem with previous launcher versions forgetting newly added accounts (before the pinning icon was added). In that case, I got the launcher to save by restarting launcher, adding account, and closing launcher without starting any clients.

Worked without issue on Ubuntu 16.04 (xfce4/xubuntu), with wine-1.9.17 and 980ti video/triple monitor setup. Great work.

Works great on Ubuntu 16.04.1 LTS. Had a few crashes here and there, though. Otherwise, an excellent in-game performance. Thank you!

I have an issue with the launcher that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere in the thread yet.

I can start the launcher, launch 1, 2 or 3 clients and they all run AOK. However over the next 5-10 minutes the evelauncher will eat ALL of my available RAM until it starves out the clients and everything else.

I let it run today to see how high the RAM usage of the launcher would get and after 15 minutes it was using 19% CPU and 7.2GB of RAM.

I can then close all of the clients and the launcher just eats the freed RAM from them until the system is maxed again.

I am running:
Debian 8 x64 but have it setup for multi arch.
Gnome 3
NVidia proprietary drivers, updated as of today.

I'm not sure where to look to figure out whats going on.

Curious! Please file a bug report and attach the launcher logs. Go to the E menu, Show in File Browser, Launcher logs, that should open the folder where the launcher logs are stored.

I think I might have fixed the RAM leak last night while fixing the in game browser crashing issue that I was also having. I ran this line of code:

WINEPREFIX=~/.eve/wineenv WINEARCH=win32 winetricks corefonts d3dx9_36 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010

and then watched Wine download and install things like MS redist and other MS products. After that the browser stopped crashing. This morning when I restarted the computer and launched the evelauncher to get the logs you wanted I watched the launcher ram usage and it sat at 48.7MB of RAM and never moved.
My guess was that there was some kind of WINE dependancy that was outdated or missing that was fixed with the above.

Thanks for replying so quickly, after reading through this whole thread I can say your support for this launcher has been fantastic.

I can still submit the logs for the launcher if you want them.

Yes, please, I'm still curious to see those logs.

Thanks for your kind words - it's always encouraging when you feel your work is appreciated :)

This is still happening every time I load the launcher and launch a client. Thought I had it fixed but nope.

I submitted a bug report with an edited log (removed 370000 lines of the same repeated errors) EBR-92071: Linux evelauncher RAM usage

I tried posting the errors in here but the forums seem to think they are HTML and keeps nuking my post. The meaty bit is this though:

wine error err:d3d:wined3d_debug_callback 0x1d7908
err:d3d_shader:shader_glsl_select
