I've already installed both, the lib32-... and libldap.
With todays update I still got the "error - see logs" message, after the update it changed from --> triangle - square - triangle to triangle - square
Still the game is not starting.
I tried both, custom wine version and dev wine version, the game won't start.

First of all I would like to thank both the Dev for this, as well as the community, the

sudo apt-get install libldap-2.4-2:i386

command as well as the

WINEPREFIX=~/.eve/wineenv ~/.eve/wine/bin/wine ~/.eve/wineenv/drive_c/tq/bin/exefile.exe

command that can show any errors they were both very useful both of the times I had to reinstall the game (I had a fresh install on my system over a month ago).

It solves this error:

err:module:load_builtin_dll failed to load .so lib for builtin L"WLDAP32.dll": libldap_r-2.4.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
err:module:import_dll Loading library WLDAP32.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\tq\\bin\\blue.dll") failed (error c000007a).
err:module:import_dll Library blue.dll (which is needed by L"C:\\tq\\bin\\exefile.exe") not found
err:module:LdrInitializeThunk Main exe initialization for L"C:\\tq\\bin\\exefile.exe" failed, status c0000135

and then the game runs as a sweet.

I am using this on a distro based on Debian Jessie (called SolydXK).

I mostly wanted to post this here as a reference to anyone else that might encounter similar issues (but as I see, since the time I first thought of that, more comments have been posted issuing this already, still, nevertheless I don't think it is doing any harm ;-) )

Another thing I wanted to ask is if there is a way to install/run the game from a different location than the default, I tried the setting I found when I ran it from windows, but it seems that it is different in this one.
I would like to have a shared installation for both my systems (since they both use the win version of the game) to save space.
Anyway, if that is an unbeatable task (and as I remember from Play on Linux, running apps from an NTFS partition is not permitted, so I imagine it might be a wine issue as well), I think I found a way around it, when the game has created the .eve folder on my home directory, I close the launcher, delete that folder and make a link folder in its place from the folder at my shared partition (or any other directory I might like I suppose), it seems to run fine and have no issues with it (of course the link folder must also be named ".eve", but still, I doesn't have any extension (like the win shortcuts do) and thus generates no issues, so there's that.

That's all from me, again that's a lot for the support guys, I hope one day this might be promoted to official (as once the CodeWeavers version was) and Eve get once again Linux support :-)

Also, sorry I almost forgot..

An issue I came across was that Character creation was buggy (no models were loaded) and at first I ended up with an invisible character. But then I discovered that that was an issue on high performance settings, when I set them to low, things were fine, although a little slow on loading but other than that, they were smooth, same goes for captain quarters, so yuhuuu!!!!.

But then again, that might be caused by my graphic drivers (I am not using the official AMD drivers, I have sticked with the ones that preloaded by my system. Than is mainly because I found their performance a little better on some issues (but that might be a wrong impression I have) and they do not have any major drawbacks.

That line tells me it looks for the file in your system dirs while the Eve launcher ships that file. Make sure you run the evelauncher.sh script and not the evelauncher binary directly.

There is no shame in not knowing, only in not wanting to know

You need this "libqt5core5a" package, it has the library your system looks for in it, details about the libs in it for i386 Debian are here https://packages.debian.org/sid/i386/libqt5core5a/filelist

I found similar details about Ubuntu as well, and I am sure you can easily find the package built for your architecture. I don't know what distro you use, but I am sure that similar packages can be found for any one of them, simply google the lib or package you want along with your distro's name (eg libqt5core5a Debian, or libQt5Core.so.5 Debian)

This launcher runs pretty easy, and if you find any trouble, odds are there is already a solution for it in this thread, simply download the launcher, extract the zip and run the " evelauncher.sh" file, if you encounter any issues, open a console (terminal) and run

WINEPREFIX=~/.eve/wineenv ~/.eve/wine/bin/wine ~/.eve/wineenv/drive_c/tq/bin/exefile.exe

if you kept the extracted folder at your home directory, otherwise change the '~' at above command to whatever directory your folder is in, then look or post here about what is written in that console.

Is there a way for the launcher to use system libs instead of the ones that it uses;
Issue is that I got Archlinux so with plasma 5.8 i got latest QT etc. Clicking links inside game uses kde-open that expects QT 5.7 not 5.6 that is delivered with the launcher so that operation fails.

Also what is the stance on CCP if someone would pkg the launcher to distro's?

Would be awsome to just make a pkgbuild for arch and get it into arch repos or even AUR. Same goes for other distros like Ubuntu. This way it really would be one click install for everyone.

Slackware with stable kernel from kernel.org, multilib (installed everything today). Everything seems to work fine so far, had to copy .eve/RezFiles from a windows install to get it going. The LogLite thing was amazing.

Hey CCP Snorlax, just in case you missed the question. Is there any chance we get a permanent symlink to the latest version so we can create a script which fetches the latest version in case of a new install? Would be really great to make a wrapper script we can distribute with regular distributions.

Maybe with other technologies except dx11, such as Vulkan? cause as I know, wine can support only DX9 yet. :(

http://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher_linux_release.json tells you what the current release is of the launcher - you could use that to determine the url for the latest release.

There are similar urls for beta and dev versions.

The launcher always updates automatically.

Don't have an answer for the second question, sorry.
