I have the issue that i have a black screen after character selection but i can see e.g. pop ups like e-mails though.

I run Ubuntu 14.4 and wine 1.6.2
My graphics driver is on the version 14.20 from AMD
i run 64 bit.

Can anyone help or have the same problem?

Please follow the instructions in this thread. Particularly:
Install your video driver: I have an Nvidia GeForce card, so I use an nvidia driver. If you have a radeon, that's AMD, you need a different driver. I am using 'sudo apt-get install nvidia-current', with Settings | Software & Updates | Additional Drivers | Nvidia Proprietary. You can see your video card easily with 'lspci | grep -i vga' When in doubt, search google for linux and your video card's exact model. Note: You must reboot after installing a new video driver!

I suspect your video driver, check your nvidia-settings for what version you are running. Also, disable station environment, as per that thread.

I have a RADEON graphics card so why do i need another driver? Other games run great.
Also i installed eve pretty much the same way you described in your post but i'll give it a shot and see what happens. Maybe this time it'll work.

I had this problem after re - installing my system.

Solved when i've disabled the "Composite" things for fancy desktop (not using any 3D effect with my Mate/Gnome desktop so it was useless)

Then it works
