*** Updated ***
So I have been looking to move out of the Microsoft world and need some help.

The last major hold MS has on me is Eve. Every other software/tool there is a Linux option.

So here is what I have so far (Linux Desktop noob). I have Ubuntu 11.10, Wine 1.3.28, and the Eve offline install.

I was able to get Eve installed but now when I try to start it I see the Small Eve splash screen then it crashes (window closes). Im betting there is something I'm missing with the install, but all the install guides I have found are over a year old.

I even tried installing VMWare Workstation to see if I could make a Win7 VM and run it all that way (Failed too).


Any help would be great.

did some more looking and found how to log the crash:

fixme:gameux:GameExplorerImpl_VerifyAccess (0x133eb0, L"C:\\Program Files\\CCP\\EVE\\eve.exe", 0x32fdbc)

Update

Found a few post talking about the fact that I need to have vcrun2005 and vcrun2008 so I installed them and now it doesn't crash at launch, but after showing the splash screen for a about a minute it goes to just the wine blue screen and sits there.

From the Terminal I ran:
$ winetricks vcrun2005
$ winetricks vcrun2008


Log Shows:

Looks simple. You either

- don't have direct rendering on your system, that is you haven't installed drivers for your Graphics Card for 3D stuff.

to check that you can always type "glxinfo" command and you need to see a line like

direct rendering: Yes

- or you have them installed, but you are on a 64 bit system, in which case you also need to install 32-bit drivers.

You don't have any 3D acceleration. Not even software rendering (via Gallium).

What's your Videocard?
