I really don't know what's the hiring process at CCP, but when you manage to hire a monkey (or multiple monkeys) who manages to break something that worked for 7+ years - maybe you should take a better look at the process.

Or find better monkeys.

Is it still randomly working for everybody else?


It's still hit, and miss for most people. Clearing the cache works for a lot of people. For me it tends to work once after patching then never work again. Running EVE\bin\ExeFile.exe seems to work everyone with the occasional need to run repair.exe to fix patching issues.

Launcher and Eve playing fine, Debian Jessie, with the deb packages from http://dev.carbon-project.org/debian/wine-unstable/.
Sofar no issues with launcher or the game just used the standard tweak for ExeFile.exe in Wine configuration. WoW also runs fine, just added Agent.exe with dnsapi (builtin) override. Both do the update fine.
wine --version wine-1.5.5.

Launcher is most time missing login/password input fields.
Rarely they show up, but only after rebooting the computer for about 10+ times.

This is very anoying!

Launcher wiithout login input/password fields

also some times looking like this:

variation of Launcher without login/password input fields

You dont need to reboot.

Anyhow i created two bugreports in the bugtracker for wine and if you got more information it would be apriciated or even commenting that you also have this. Please note if you tried without any infecting overrides because winedevs frown on that.

[WINE] EVE Online (Rendering Issues) - Bug 33783
[WINE] EVE Online (High CPU Usage) - Bug 33784

Also a note, because of this launcher business Im thinking about dropping the test rating for EVE - Online. New users or new subscribers may be felt that they bought more months when in fact this game may loose its (Working on Linux) badge pretty hard when you soon no longer can login from the client itself.

Are you sure that rendering problem is not actually SSL problem?
I've got no rendering problems since patching SSL.

As for CPU usage - this is no longer an issue for me since one of the updates. MAYBE it's related to updating wine, but not likely, since it was a launcher problem (that is, present on windows too), not wine problem, and should have been fixed as per patchnotes.

Eve and the launcher run just fine if wine is patched with the awesomium SSL patch. Besides this and disabling d3d11 not other tweaks are needed. No winetricks (corefonts, vcruntime and so on) and no overrides are needed.
I would rather increase the rating than lower it, the setup is more hassle free then before.

There are even 2 player made launchers available for those that really can't get the EVE Launcher to work. So I don't see a problem anymore if the client login gets removed.

Hm will try it out a bit more, i was also thinking maybe the SSL issue is related here.
As for the CPU usage its still there with wine 1.6rc1

You dont need the override to disable dx11 anymore.

.

2 suggestions.

1) Run repair.exe. For me it reinstalled the launcher and apparently did something to it.
2) In launcher settings, set number of download threads to 1, then exit launcher, wait till the threads run out, then run it again.

I can now confirm that after playing with patches both rendering issues and cpu usage is gone.
All in all i tried wine-multimedia from AUR with awesomium.patch & use_glBufferSubDataARB_dbuffer.patch the PKGBUILD that I used is posted in comments.

The root cause for this is indeed the SSL issue, though im still having the bugs on since it maybe triggers something in Wine that it should not do.

Summa summarum
With awesomium.patch Launcher is working as intended. A side note patching is a different story from what i remember but will have to wait until a new patch is out for EVE to see if it needs overrides to work or not.

The launcher was working great for me with the SSL patch applied to WINE - however, as of the Odyssey 1.0.12 patch on July 2, the launcher is no longer capable of any connection whatsoever.

Yup and ditto.
The login part of the launcher is now black for me.
Running the client directly still works.
Will try repair.exe later tonight.

Hmm, strange.
After using the client directly and then logging in on the forum for my previous post the launcher seems to work again correctly. This looks like some SSL or password validation shenanigans.
