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.

Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks a lot!

Does anyone else have this same problem? When I play EVE in Linux using this launcher, I can't watch streaming video in my web browsers (Firefox and Chromium). The content that doesn't play is HTML5 videos (ie. Twitch, Youtube). As soon as I close out of EVE, I can go back to watching video streams without restarting the web browser.

Im just guessing here, but it seems that your video card has very little video memory left after launching eve. What gfx card do you have? How much video memory? What browser? What environment (gnome, kde, unity)?

The following steps worked for me on Linux Mint 18 (Sarah) - no custom drivers:
1.Installled Wine - from SoftwareManager
2. Installed Playonlinux - from SoftwareManager
3. Installed Steam - from SoftwareManager
4.Download and extract the launcher to home.
5.Run the shell script sh ./evelauncher.sh - with sudo su in bash prompt
6.Launcher pop up and start downloading files automatically.
7.Client ready and Play!

very good indeed!!!
Thanx Snorlax. Keep up the good work.

Hi !

I've got a problem with the launcher.
When I launch it, it appears but stay « white ». It's impossible to login.
You can see my problem on the pic here : http://www.hostingpics.net/viewer.php?id=420609Capturedu20161202133922.png
Does someone has a solution ?

Thanks !

There seems to be a problem, the launcher's settings are not being saved at all. Launcher versions, wine versions, launch settings, any change is lost when the client closes. I could have sworn it was saving at one point- I had turned on hardware rendering from the full settings menu, and testing shows I now can't turn it off- but I have no idea what's going on here. Logs show nothing, same old warnings about locales and steam API.

Bug or misaligned feature? I don't want to have to set the wine version to the CCP dev version every time I open the launcher, and the constant attempts to downgrade back to release versions of the launcher is also annoying.

EDIT: Apparently I found where the config is stored (it was in .config, wadaya know), apparently the file is read-only because it belongs to root.

The launcher got an update today, and now I get a

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

everytime I start it. It comes up, then tries to read extra files for the shared cache, and then I get the segmentation fault.

Edit: I managed to get it to run by hitting the 'Close' button on the small window where it said it would look for new files.

Hi everyone,

I am having issues getting the launcher to run. I am using 64 bit Cent 7 and I get the launcher to come up but it crashes soon after and says: line 14: 25473 Segmentation fault (core dumped) "$dirname/$appname" "$@"

Line 14 in the start script is "$dirname/$appname" "$@" im guessing it has a problem with that and what its pointing to?

anyone have any ideas I can try?

Thanks

CCP Snorlax,

After the last update wasn't able to start eve anymore with my already installed wine-staging.
Something abt. "wine client error:0: version mismatch 513/524."
Managed to solve it by renaming ~/.eve/wine/bin/wineserver to ~/.eve/wine/bin/wineserver.old
and SharedCache/wine/bin/wineserver to SharedCache/wine/bin/wineserver.old.

Any idea what caused the mismatch? Before the last update it was running fine.

Desktop Asrock 990FX Extreme4, AMD FX-8320, 16GB ram,
2x AMD HD7870 Crossfire, Debian jessie 64bits (multiarch), wine-staging 1.9.23~jessie

Cheers

Now I get again this:

Segmentation fault (core dumped)

I can start the launcher, and even start the clients from it, but after some time, the launcher crashes (but the clients still run).

I got a problem with the .sh file.

I'm not a heavy linux user. I got a notebook with Linux Mint on it.

1st time I got a syntax error ( unexpected, and worked around with bash ./evelauncher.sh. But then this error came up

./evelauncher.sh: line 14: /home/mint/Downloads/evelauncher/./evelauncher: cannot execute binary file: Exec format error


No ideia what to do to fix this.

Tried installing Eve from the stratch on PlayonLinux but always a Qt error somepoint.

Any clues?

I'm just using 1 wine prefix, running per wine-staging 1.9.23 (have regular and staging per /opt/wine-staging/bin/ dual-installed)

i figured how to make the launcher show up again, untested if the game runs at all yet!
EDIT: game runs again!!

in winecfg I set these processes to run in winXP :

eve.exe (regular gamefolder)
evelauncher.exe (found in the launcher subfolder)
QtWebEngineProcess.exe (found also in the launcher subfolder)

hope that helps for peeps with the regular windows client running over wine .. not the inofficial linux launcher posted on page 1

OT: I know eve online isn't quite supported for running on linux .. but I really would appreciate to continue playing .. since WINE 2.0rc1 is out as devel version and they kept on working on dx11 and the shader stuff

Ok to summarize steps to be taken when on Debian testing/stretch and using wine-staging,
might also be helpful for ppl with other distro's.

Check if you have still installed libssl1.0.2, normally libssl1.0.2_1.0.2j-4 should still be installed,
otherwise reinstall it from Debian testing/stretch or your distro's repo..

Make a symlinks in the evelauncher directory:
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.2 libssl.so
ln -s /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libcrypto.so.1.0.2 libcrypto.so

In case you are running into the wineserver mismatch versions rename SharedCache/wine/bin/wineserver to wineserver.org or just remove it.

I can now launch and run EVE with my custom wine-staging 1.9.23 but might also help with other wine versions.

Thx guys for giving me the pointers to get it working again.

Winecfg: Windows 7, overrides: *d3d10 disabled, *d3d11 disabled.

I am a beginner (we can say a f*****g noob) in the use of linux environment.
How and where do i check if i still have libssl1.0.2

Linux Mint 17 Cinnamon 64-bit
Wine 1.6.2

EDIT : seems i found where, but i don't have libssl1.0.2 just have a libssl1.0.0
is it good or not ?

EDIT 2 : i'm not sure of my "where"

EDIT 3 : i've found some libssl but none are where you say, and seems to be a different version of your, so i don't know what to do

I ran into an issue that after the Launcher Patched, I was unable to get the game to launch past the launcher. I deleted the Eve game and downloaded it again. Patched and same issue. Then I went and found the .eve and .Eve folders. Deleted these and the main folder again with no luck. After 4 tries, I did a search in my /home directory and found another folder in Cache. I deleted everything and tried the patch process again. The game launched. I am not sure what or why this happened.

I only provide this info for others just in case someone else has had this issue.

Thank you

Hey, just wanted to give a big "THANK YOU!" for this effort. I only use Windows for games, but now I can hop into my favorite game without a reboot.

Kudos!

I have the same issue running UberStudent Heraclitus (fork of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS). My system only has onboard and HDMI audio; I'm using PulseAudio. The first time I ran with the Linux Launcher I already had YouTube running and EVE had no audio output. With EVE running first, no audio output form any other sources, whether Rythmbox playing local files, YouTube, or the Spotify linux client; I also tested VLC with ALSA instead of PulseAudio, does not work.
