On Cider I could have native mac res with a high res eve window, however I could not stretch or resize this window on the fly.

I can't seem to increase my Macbook resolution to the same as I run Eve at. Google has not helped and now I only got a month to find a solution before Cider support is ended.

Can anyone help?

Do you have a Retina display?


Hi CCP Snorlax!

A few of us would love to switch and experience the performance boosts, but are holding of due to retina resolution issues.

Is there anything we could do to have native resolution in Wine?

Thank you!

I'm not seeing issues on my MacBook Pro with a Retina screen, nor on my iMac 27" 5K screen. If you haven't tried Wine yet, give it a go - you can log on to Singularity first if you are concerned about running into issues.

Note that running in fullscreen with 3k resolution or higher may cause you to run out of memory, though. It is not advised in heavy scenes with settings on high.

Thank you for your work on this.

I personally still can't get the right resolution in windowed mode without having everything off screen.

Wine settings:

Native 2880x1800 display. Fullscreen works flawlessly in Wine at 2880x1800, however I loved playing at 2560x1600 windowed and swapping between clients/OOC browser on Cider (no lag). Setting to any resolution in windowed results in items being off screen.

Cider settings: works great in windowed:

Is there a possible work-around available?

Where in the filesystem is the Wine application file? I need to re-annoint my USB Overdrive configuration to run in the specific app - I lost my extra mouse buttons in the switch.

I do see that the Dock reports the app as ~/Library/Application\ Support/EVE\ Online/p_drive/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CCP/EVE/SharedCache/wine/bin/wine

But usbOverdrive does not recognize that file as an app - I suspect it is looking for a package with an Info.plist, such as ~/Library/Application\ Support/EVE\ Online/p_drive/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CCP/EVE/SharedCache/cider-EveOnlinePremium-iso-011059-nodata-skel/EVE\ Online.app

If anyone else needs to use USB Overdrive, here's how I made mine work.


  1. In the Control Panel, duplicate your existing setting and point them at the Eve Launcher.
  2. Quit and open 
    ~/Library/Preferences/com.usboverdrive.settings.plist
    in a plain text editor.
  3. Find the dictionary in the settings array that contains the settings cloned in step 1. Change the following values so they read as follows. Note that you will see these values enclosed in xml tags but forum restrictions prevent properly writing them here 

    4. app:Wine
    exec:wine

Per this reddit post this morning:
Where are the useful "My Documents" files on the wine OS X client?

I have tried looking everywhere for chatlogs and overview.yaml files and have found nothing at all... anyone have any idea?

edit: issue resolved - complete uninstall & reinstall solved it.
