Trying to run with Linux Mint, Wine troubles

I am still kind of learning how to get things working in Linux. I've heard of many being able to play EVE with Linux, and the fewer games that require me to reboot into Windows, the better.

I can get to EVE's launcher and log in, and then after I click the "Play" button, it changes to say "Launching..." and just stays there, eventually going back to just "Play". The launcher window itself also appears to be broken:

Help please?

Welcome to our nerdcave, freshmeat!

As with all things linux, we will need you to give us more information to help you:

1 - Which wine version are you using? To find that out, open a terminal and type:
Quote:
wine --version


2 - Please post the terminal output here. Open a terminal and type:
Quote:
WINEDEBUG=-all wine "your/path/to/exefile.exe"


3 - before I have to ask later: What model of graphics card do you have and which driver are you using for it?


On a sidenote: Have a look at this thread if you haven't already. It's tailored to ubuntu, but most of it should be true for other distros as well, especially since Mint is a derivate of Ubuntu.

There we have it. Wine 1.4 works for eve, but not without a few magic tricks, you making hand stands and jumping through loops and such.

Upgrade to wine 1.6.2 or 1.7.x.

Look here for instructions on how to do that: http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu

It's a guide for ubuntu, but at least the command line options should work for mint as well. Alternatively go and check if there is an official way to get a more current wine for Mint 16.
edit: apparently that is the official way already: http://linuxwelt.blogspot.de/2013/11/wine-installieren-linux-mint-16.html


Also do:

Quote:
sudo apt-get install p11-kit:i386

because apparently, that's missing too.


Also: I added a link in my last post where I wanted to put one and failed miserably.
