Linux

Hi All,

Thanks to Dreadchain who assisted me to this forum.

Im trying to run Eve under WINE on a Debian 7.4 i386 arch machine and getting the below error message:

The program exefile.exe has encountered a serious problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience.

I cant even open the settings window to untick CQ in login screen, gives same error.


The output of the "Show Details" is can be attached aswell a pic of the error window.

Im using the following Runscript/Commands:
:~$ wine explorer /desktop=eveA,1920x1080 "c:\program files\ccp\eve\eve.exe"

and

:~$ wine explorer /desktop=eveA,1920x1080 "c:\program files\ccp\eve\bin\exefile.exe"

both fails with the exact same above error message.



I have run
:~$ ./winetricks corefonts d3dx9_36 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010 dotnet40

and sudo apt-get install libtxc-dxtn-s2tc0

Tried also reversing as below to no avail:

msvcr100 (builtin, native)
msvcr80 (builtin, native)
msvcr90 (builtin, native)

Wine version:
:~$ wine --version
wine-1.7.16

:~$ cat /etc/debian_version
7.4

:~$ glxgears
runs fine


Have also read and looked at the page Winehq eveonline

$ glxinfo | grep shading
OpenGL shading language version string: 1.20
GL_ARB_occlusion_query2, GL_ARB_point_sprite, GL_ARB_shading_language_100,

The above should be 3+ right?

Nebu Retski at
driconf
driconf
said "then find the enable s3tc_texture_compression option"
but cant find that option though?


I can post the output of glxinfo if needed.


Has anyone else some experience of this?
and maybe would provide answers would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, will try that.

Alright thanks for the answer, but I dont get it, on EVE System Requirements page it says the gfx card should run Shader 3.0?

I have updates though, i removed Nouveau driver and installed nvidia-glx package as stated in Debian Nvidia Conf.

Which installed Nvidia driver 304.88 driver and restarted in as pressing and opening another tty with (ALT-F2) with my root account and run

inbetween to rewrite or create the xorg.conf and then:



I afterwards recognized a HUGE performance gain in graphics/puter handling.

I start the EVE client by using the following command :



and noticed that I could start the EVE config menu (i couldnt before with the nouveau driver) on the upper right location on the login screen)) without errors, FINALLY. btw cant find the setting "disable CQ" there though.

Stupid thing is that my Eve install is still complaining that my GFX card for which is a

~$ nvidia-detect
Detected NVIDIA GPUs:
00:12.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation C67 [GeForce 7150M / nForce 630M] [10de:0531] (rev a2)

and according to this nvidia url Version 304.88 For support of GeForce 6xxx and higher GPUs my above card should is supported by the list.

And my card should be supporting Shader 3 by this link

But still get the "Shader model 3 (SM3) support is neede to run this game. Click OK to close the game client." error message and can only be closed by pressing OK button.

(update) Hell, I get the same error on a Windows Vista Compaq 6715s machine with an ATI Radeon X1250 gfx card that only support Shading version 2.0(!) Torgeir Hekard: Thanks for the post I would love to know please provide the link location for the Eve installer that works for you :p

I saw this forum post which definitely requires Shader 3.0 ugh.
Right now when Im launching
it complains about libGL is too old on the screen below command
and puts an error messagewindow stating that XDriInfo returned with non-zero-exit code. Im currently researching this though.


What gives? I still dont get it about the shader requirement.


My card should be supporting Shader 3.0 with the correct nvidia-settings which report im using 304.88 driver, still it shows the error message?
And glxinfo | grep shader gives GL_NV_texture_shader, GL_NV_texture_shader2, GL_NV_texture_shader3

Please forgive my messy post but I'm still hanging in the forums, I needs to fly :)

IIRC, it's called "load station environment".

I... Guess the regular one? I didn't really use the EVE installer since dunnowhen. I just copy my existing EVE installation around.


Of course it complains if you are trying to point it to a proprietary driver. It only works for mesa libGL. For a proprietary driver it's poitnless - s3tc already IS there, since the only reason it might not be in an OpenSource driver is licensing issues which aren't a problem for the proprietary driver.

You probably shouldn't bother with it and look for something else you are missing that makes eve think you are having wrong drivers.

Yes I believe You are right, thanks, I will keep fighting with this installation.

I know that the Nvidia 7150M/630M card im using IS/Should be supporting SM3 (Shader version 3) according to the hardware specs.

I just need to enable it somehow I guess?

Aaaah. No, it's an ingame option.

Just load the game through exefile.exe in the ./bin folder and you get the loading screen where you can open the options menu.

Oooh waaait. I think I got it.

It's not the recend 6-series GeForce, it's ye olde laptop 6-series circa '06, which kinda makes it interesting because, guess what,

http://inciner.blogspot.ru/2012/09/eve-online-in-wine-linux-how-to-get-it.html

tldr: it is, indeed, an SM3 problem, because wine checks for ARB_shader_texture_lod extention, and it it's not there, - it thinks you've got no SM3, so "all" you have to do is patch wine source to trick it into thinking you've got SM3.
Specifically, you apparently need to do something with the function shader_glsl_get_caps in /dlls/wined3d/glsl_shader.c

Here's what the relevant part looks like in the 1.7.11 source I've got on me right now:



You may want to try to check for NV_VERTEX_PROGRAM3 and NV_FRAGMENT_PROGRAM2 instead. Or just plain swap 2 for 3 in the

part for your personal use. EVE aparently does not use the extension in question anyway.

Hmm this is interesting, seems the patch was intended for Version: 1.3.23 according to here and that one would guess that would already be fixed in 1.7.16. in Changes here for version 1.7.12 there is alot of fixes done for Eve

I take it, this should be fixed in 1.7.16. Anyways im recompiling from scratch, will report of any progress.

OK, Have looked at the patch and tried manually edit and search the code, although I guess I need to be a programmer to fix this.

This guy solved his SM3 problem (stroven):

what does the following give you?

LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo

I wouldn't edit the wine sources, unless you know what you are doing. By forcing SM2, you are probably running eve without direct rendering, because eve may require SM3 to use your graphics card.

I would try installing/re-installing different nvidia drivers.
