I've installed Wine 5.17, the newest nv driver (they are all crap now), but getting exceptions while the window is black. Has someone tips?

The information you gave is utterly worthless to even start helping you out.

First, tell us what your system specs are, what gfx card do you have, the FULL name and version of the drivers you are using. Those exceptions that you mentioned, it would be excellent if you actually posted them here.

It also doesn't hurt if you would tell us how you tried to install eve (i.e. what is the procedure you followed to get eve running on your system). Don't be lazy and type it all out or copy it, whatever.

I have a NVidia GTX680 graphics card. The system is a intel DualCore with 6gb ram and 2 screens. The drier is from NVidia 310.19 (32bit) with a manual installation. The linux version is now xubuntu 12.10 32 bit.

Dual screen with Twin.... doesnt work. It worked with 64 bit and the 64bit driver version 310.16.


The first thing I installed the better version of wine from ppa... version 5.17. I installed the runtime packages msrun2005, msrun2008 and msrun 2010.

Because of the dual screen setup didn't worked I install manually the driver from NVidia. That didnt helped anyway.

I'm using Xubuntu with xfce

It sounds that you are having drivers issues. Can you install the binary blob from nvidia using the recommended way for ubuntu or were you forced to do it the manual way?

Confirm that you are in fact running the nvidia driver by running:
glxinfo | grep OpenGL

The way you installed eve looks like it should have been done so I don't expect issues for that (although you might need to install corefonts through winetricks in case you don't see any text when the client starts).

I had some trouble upgrading to the 310.19 package as it didn't remove the old 304.XX module from the loading path correctly. Going into /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/dkms/ and removing the extra kernel module did the trick there.

I solved my problems:

used driver: NVidia 3.10.14

1) I had to delete ~/.config/.../display.xml (caused real trouble with nvidia drivers)
2) configuring current wineprefix to windows xp to install vcrun2005 !!!!
3) I had to install with winetricks : vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010, d3dx9 , mscore fonts
4) Copying settings and the cache from my windows 7 installation

C:\users\(user)\appdata\local\CCP\(a dir with a name equivalent to the installation path)
copy to ----->
~/.wine/drive_c/users/(user)/Local Setttings/

Tbh. I don't know whether I need vcrun2005, vcrun2008 and vcrun2010. I was tired and installed them.

If you're running a recent version of the 1.5 development line of Wine, you shouldn't need them. In fact, having them may cause issues when you go to patch and cause you to have to do the old native/builtin toggle. You might try removing the overrides in winecfg. You can always put them back if it causes problems.

I took them out and it's running. So you need only DirectX 9!

The performance of the graphics is not so good as with windows. I'm getting often less than 40fps despite my GTX680.
