Due to 16.04 LTS getting released last week, I will work on the changes associated with it. but i have been hearing a lot of grief about graphic drivers.

Downloading the offline installation files now on a pristine 16.04 install with Wine 1.8.
Using dual 670's. I think SLI might be working.

Will update as things move forward - this will be make or break to use Linux on my desk.

So the original descriptions are a bit lacking.

I decided to try it all today and see what would take to get Eve running on Ubuntu 14.04 (freshly installed) and here is what I found:

1. Install wine 1.7
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa
sudo apt update
sudo apt install wine1.7


2. get latest winetricks
wget  https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Winetricks/winetricks/master/src/winetricks
chmod a+x winetricks


3. Make sure you run wine in 32bit mode:

export WINEARCH=win32


4. try to run eve as previously described (I highly recommend using the window mode). It will crash but it's ok

5. Install vcrun2013
./winetricks vcrun2013


5. Run eve again and this time it will work

This worked for me and I'm spinning my ship in Saranen as expected

Why not even try first the new native launcher :) seems to work with many people without doing special things (or not too many in some cases)

Ubuntu Mate 16.04.2 64bit // Amd A8-5600K with RX460 4GB // 6GB DDR3 // Sandisk 120GB SSD Plus // Wine Stable 2.01 // Native Linux Launcher // TS3 working // Happy to be back in Ubuntu :)

Thanks for everyone's help over their years with the eve on Linux project, I'm really glad to see we have an 'almost' supported version now. Lol

Forum admins (or CCP Snorlax), you can lock this thread. We'll fold into the new sticky, using the new launcher.
