Hello,

I have such a noobish question I think, but please forgive me :D

OS: Ubuntu 16.04 LTS x64
VGA: nVidia GTX960 4GB

So I have downloaded EVELauncher from first post, extracted to 
/home/bozsikarnand/Games/EVE
then started it with 
bash evelauncher.sh
and it gives the error as follows:

Installed Qt WebEngine locales directory not found at location /home/bozsikarmand/Games/EVE/translations/qtwebengine_locales. Trying application directory...
Qt WebEngine locales directory not found at location /home/bozsikarmand/Games/EVE/qtwebengine_locales. Trying fallback directory... Translations MAY NOT not be correct.
[0115/130835:WARNING:resource_bundle.cc(291)] locale_file_path.empty() for locale 
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; SteamAPI_IsSteamRunning() failed.
[S_API FAIL] SteamAPI_Init() failed; unable to locate a running instance of Steam, or a local steamclient.so.


Steam is installed on my system. Once I was able to fix this problem, but I do not remember how. Now the client starts, I can login without a problem, then when I would like to press the play button the blue line loads in the launcher, and nothing happens.

Thanks for your help!

My only problem with the native launcher is it leaves nothing useful in console.

There's a Start LogLite option in the launcher menu.

Use it before launching the client and work from there.

Most likely you lack some libraries.

Hi!

Thank you for the suggestion but nothing seems to work :/

I just started the launcher, it said some error occurred, so I checked the logs (attached below), logged in to tranquility then pressed the button while loglite was running. But it did not log anything in the window :/

The log can be seen on Pastebin.

Thanks,
Armand

Search your package manager for libldap and it's 32-bit version and install them.

I had the exact same problem as Armand Bozsik and following a hint in the right direction from Torgeir Hekard did the following in terminal:

Quote:

sudo apt-get install libldap-2.4.2:i386


Followed by

Quote:

bash evelauncher.su


Worked like a charm.

This was on a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS (64 Bit), with all updates (as of 8 March 17) installed.

Fly safe

NB: If you can launch the game but you have no sound...

sudo apt-get install libpulse0:i386


Shout out to Shylock Adelman for that fix Here
