I've succesfully installed Eve online on ubuntu 11.10 x64 with wine 1.3, but when i launch the application it just crash with "program error" on ExEFile.exe.

Any advise?

You have to start eve in a "special" way. This explains how to create a proper launcher.

Open your eyes. And awaken.

i've followed the instructions, but all that appear to me is a blue screen, based on resolution i wrote in the script. Nothing starts, then... :(

This usually happens if you didn't write a path to eve.exe correctly.

I am using "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" which is default location. But it might be different on 64-bit system.

It is the same place on my 64-bit system.

yes, i've already tried to change the path, but i think i'm doing something wrong.
here's the .sh file of me:

#!/bin/bash

eveNum=`ps aux | less | grep "ExeFile.exe" | wc -l`
wine explorer /desktop=eve$eveNum,1280x720 C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe

am i doing right?
i've installed eve in the default location

btw the launcher placed in my desktop (the one eve installed for me) that stuck on the splash screen (not the blue one) do the following path:

env WINEPREFIX="/home/daniele/.wine" wine C:\\Programmi\\CCP\\EVE\\eve.exe

so i'm a bit lost :D

New launcher should use the same path as old launcher. I guess Programmi instead of Program Files is some kind of localization (russian?).

Ok, next step...
Run that sh file from a terminal and put the result somewhere.

Chances are you need some extra dlls installed using winetricks. Looking at a terminal output we might guess which dlls you need.

Open your eyes. And awaken.

Now that looks like a problem with graphic card and drivers. What card are you using and did you enable proprietary drivers for it?

Well.. I have very little experience with ATI cards. Last time I tried (over a year ago) I did use catalyst and everything worked. I don't know current trends in using ATI in Linux.

Instead of binary blob, try to use opensource drivers, and install libtxc_dxtn library. You must use 32-bit wine too, and not 64-bit version.

It worked on my 4650, though not on Ubuntu. However, if you can, it's better to run the game on Windows.

I have a Radeon 4870HD.

I get 7 fps with Catalyst and 60+ fps with open source drivers.
I recommand first to switch video drivers to open (git version) and install libtxc_dxtn like Nestara told.

Also you might need some d3dx9 dll

cd /your_wine_EVE_prefix/windows/system32
wget http://share.nekmo.com/.wine/drive_c/windows/system32/d3dx9_{3{6,7},42}.dll

You can also use winetricks instead of using the previous two line to download them.
