"The program ExeFile.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close."

Upgraded to Wine 1.4 (compiled from source) and now starting fine.

(Also there's background music, which is new to me. I don't know if I like it, but there it is.)

Additional: after EVE started I had problems with repeated client disconnects. I installed vcrun2010 which didn't make a difference, then renamed the Jukebox file again. Seems to be back to normal now.

Swapping the order for vcrun100 also worked for me.

I guess I totally misunderstand the purpose of the launcher though... The first time it ran it patched up the client, then after fixing the vcrun100 issue the launcher said 'client ready' and I hit the PLAY button. The client said there was a patch available and did it's usual self-patch process.

So.. I guess the launcher only does major updates and the client itself still does optional patches? I'm not seeing much benefit to the launcher.

New launcher so far:

Crashed, but as others mentioned, installing via winetricks and setting the dll worked fine.
I was running wine-1.3.37 before which was super stable and nice, but that failed to start the game.
Updated to wine-1.4-rc6, and that got my game running.

Now, when I try to start a second Eve process, I'm told the launcher will only allow "one instance"?
Did CCP really make a launcher that requires a seperate copy of Eve for each of your toons?

Anyone found a viable way around that except having multiple .wine folders?

Is it just me or is wine-1.4-rc6 really laggy? I get 15-20 FPS where I got a stable ~60 in 1.3.37?

then I ran winecfg and changed msvcr100.dll from "native, builtin" to "builtin, native"

It works now :)

worked here without installing vcrun2010, with fix above.

Problem remains, i can only launch one client.

i use this to start it:

Quote:

wine explorer /desktop=eve1,2046x1024 ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe

also tried '/launcher/launcher.exe' instead of eve.exe.

allways complains about running multiple instances.

i guess symlinking the directorys to diffrent names might work, but that could possibly screw up the launcher.

any ideas (except installing 3 clients obviously) ?

Edit: fixed it!

open the settings dialog of the launcher, and on the 'startup' tab, check 'Close Eve launcher after starting Eve'.

after that i can start multiple clients again.

EDIT : solved for me by switching msvcr100.dll from "native, builtin" to "builtin, native"

this also worked for me (install vcrun10 via winetricks then switching the dll)

ubuntu 11.10
wine-1.3.29

i have a own directory for every of my clients (10 atm) which has a histroical reason.

anyway...it seems i can onl;y get 1 client to work.
When i try to update the next client i can not even start the launcher.

will post screenshots of the errors when i get them

At least someone shares my problems :)
Maybe we can find out what is different for us.
Do you run 64Bit Ubuntu?
What DirectX version are you running? VCRUN2008 installed?

This message starts the misery:
err:module:find_forwarded_export function not found for forward 'msvcrt._controlfp_s' used by L"C:\\windows\\system32\\msvcr100.dll". If you are using builtin L"msvcr100.dll", try using the native one instead.

Then it works for me
