Since Launcher came out, I crash about 50% of the way into the patch install each time I sign on. I have to uninstall and download the full offline install and go from there, each incremental patch, then set all preferences, etc all over again. This is incredibly slow and annoying and I am about ready to throw in the towel.

Is anyone else having this problem?

I am using Wine. Had no luck with playonlinux so abandoned that method. If anyone has had similar problems and found a fix please let me know.

Distro is Linux Mint 10. Wine is 1.4.

This is the efect of not having the override for the dlls.

Make shure that you in winecfg override msvcr80,msvcr90,msvcr100 and msvcr (I atleats do the msvcr to) to native then builtin, for patching and bultin then native for running teh client.

There is a nice documentation here how to run it in wine.

To add to it, installing wine 1.5.10 removes the requirements of having overrides.

Confirmed. I removed the overrides on my wine 1.5.10 installation and it seems to be working fine.

I have a fruit cup and I'm not afraid to use it.

Hmm... not working for me. I'm on 1.5.10, but yesterday's patch still crashed the launcher for me until I did the usual override dance.

Edit: Oops, nevermind. Turns out there's a difference between switching the overrides properly and not having overrides at all. I removed the overrides and indeed can patch and play. Woot!

Using the repair tool for patching seems to work well here.

Thank you all for your advice. However I seem to be worse than I was. If I may describe the steps taken and the current problem.


Realizing that my OS was old I wiped the partition and installed Linux Mint 13 (Cinnamon)
Then Wine 1.5.10
then winetricks


I was unable to install EVE using the installer alone as it always failed on download.exe

I downloaded both the offline installer 7z files and again installed.

Running eve.exe is unsuccessful. Launcher.exe.log gives:

Traceback (most recent call last):

added MSVCR90 and MSVCR100 were already added in winecfg as bullitin, native


Same error resulted, though i believe it reported faster.

added msvcr80

same error

Tried to run repair.exe
received error:
Module not found.
LoadLibrary pythondll failed.


added exe.exe and evefile.exe to applications exception list.

I have no idea where to go further. Please let me know if you have any suggestions. Thanks.

Try installing d3dx9_36 via winetricks as well. My main installation works without it, but I had errors installing on another machine until I added it.
