Hey.

I'm trying to get EVE running on my Kubuntu 10.04-64bit, but it keeps crashing at splash screen.
The logserver made a lot of errors about something called 'vivox' and 'blue.dll'

Logserver file: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1586333/%232012.01.31.12.51.39.ERRORS.lbw

I'm using Wine 1.3.37 and have installed vcrun2005, vcrun2008, vcrun2010, corefonts and probably more I've forgot about.
My GFX is an ATI HD 4850 with proprietary drivers. glxinfo: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1586333/glxinfo_dump.txt

I've searched this Linux forum and WineHQ, but haven't found any solutions yet. I've also tried making the launcher from http://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=32545, but somehow it fails with the message "KDEInit could not launch '/home/my username/Scripts/eve-script.sh".

Can anyone help me?

Running from the console:

I then have to kill the process manually.

I then tried copying a DNSAPI.dll file from my original windows into wine and ran it again:

It seems you have hit the case where the client can't find the DNSAPI.dll.

You need to get one from windows, install into your wine and activate a native override for it.

If you have no windows, follow this link (in german, use translator or go to the section about vivox..there is a link for the DLL)
http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Spiele/EVE

I can't say why it happened, i have never needed to include the dll on my wine.

I then activated the dnsapi (native) in winecfg.
I then tried running EVE from the console again, and it worked...!

It was flickering like mad until I closed/minimize the open windows in the background.
I even got to download and install the newest update. Yay!*

Then it wouldn't start again. Roll

This is the new console output (too long for a forum post): http://dl.dropbox.com/u/1586333/eve_console_dump.txt

It then continues with a combination of these lines, until I manually close the window:

ALSA lib ../../../src/pcm/pcm.c:7245:(snd_pcm_recover) underrun occured
fixme:d3d:resource_check_usage Unhandled usage flags 0x8.

Adding this to .wine/user.reg didn't help:

"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"VertexShaderMode"="hardware"

*So close to success that I actually yelled out a 'Yay' IRL....

Okay... this is a little weird..

I changed the launcher from
$ wine explorer /desktop=$(date +%s),1680x1050 '/home/wrelbyrd/.wine/drive_c/Spil/EVE Online/eve.exe'
to
$ wine explorer /desktop=EVE1,1680x1050 '/home/wrelbyrd/.wine/drive_c/Spil/EVE Online/eve.exe'
and now it starts up again... Shocked

Now the problem is that it can't find the server. It says:
Server: Tranquility
Status: Unknown

When I try to log in, a window pops up with this message:

Quote:

Could not connect to the specified address. Odds are that you have not established an internet connection, the server isn't running, or the server address or port number was wrong.

BTW I found a tip that the flickering doesn't happen if I turn off Desktop Effects in Systems Settings and it appear to be true.

If the login screen comes up it is a good sign. The messages in your log are ok except for the ALSA stuff. Try to change or deactivate this in winecfg. I always have all sound in EVE deactivated as it will just cause trouble.

My settings in user.reg:

[Software\\Wine\\Direct3D] 1308766323
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"UseGLSL"="enabled"
"VertexShaderMode"="hardware"
"VideoMemorySize"="256"

The memory is for 4 clients on one 1GB card...each using 256mb.

Then i just start an individual client per user with something like this:
taskset 0x00000001 wine eve.exe
