I have the flickering / screen weirdness once I am past the login screen :

Dell Latitude 6420 laptop
Ubuntu 13.10
WIne 1.6.1
Intel® Core™ i5-2520M CPU @ 2.50GHz × 4

Is it worth updating to the beta versions i.e. 1.7 to try and fix? I have had trouble with the beta releases before tbh.

Mmmkay, working well on the same laptop (ASUS UX52VS) on Win8 in both dx9 and dx11 mode. Nvidia drivers are 307.something.

Judging from todays posts to this thread https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=318611 they tried to fix a bug causing crashed under Windows but managed to break it for even more people. Interesting that people experiencing crashes now also experiencing the flickering, even on Windows. Since this is not a Linux only issue we can still hope that CCP will fix it

I have a similar issue, although I don't need to actually change any settings to make it crash, just going to the Graphics tab in the game Menu locks up the client.


just roll back to wine 1.7.10 that solved the resize crash for me

For those that can't change their Interval Immediate/One/Two/Three aka VSync/Triple-buffering option via the game without Wine failing, know that it's stored in the following EVE setting file:

/home/user/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/c_program_files_eve_tranquility/settings/core_public__.yaml

...
Also you can change the shader, postprocessing and LoD settings within the larger device block without it failing too (as those do for me via ingame menu atm iirc). Fairly obvious variable names, change the end value only. Values 0-3 in most cases, simple mapping between ingame options and increased quality.
For non-fullscreen I think you'd need to set PresentationInterval: 16 or 17, don't think it's meant to offer Iterval options other than Immediate or One for such screen settings.

I too have the flickering issue. No changes have been made to any software on my system except for the EVE update.

The character selection screen is really messed up to the point I can not really see anything. I just click where my character should be and I can log in. Inside the client I can chat but that's about it. Icons flicker with other icons. Lines appear all over the screen, graphics are glitched and torn. I have not tested undocking yet as I don't feel like getting in a fight where I can't shoot back.

Graphics are at their lowest settings. I currently run the eve client full screen in a wine window.

confirmed...

gentoo
kernel 3.12.8
nvidia drivers 331.38
wine 1.7.11

after playing around with the graphic settings (everything to lowest, then up again) it got better - but still unplayable.
