Overall, the game 'feels' smoother and less laggy using the wine client.

Switch to wine went easy (but was hard to find), maybe it should be under the launcher settings?

However, I have two problems / bugs:
- Game crashes when I jump from gate to gate in high-sec. This has also been the case in cider
- My tripwire through the IGB does not work. I am in contact with the tripwire developer, here's a link to the issue:
https://bitbucket.org/daimian/tripwire/issues/111/igb-shows-only-text-after-upgrading-to


The latter is kind of a pain... because it makes wormhole life very miserable and actually makes me consider going back to cider.

I'm guessing this has to do with https, I'll investigate.

CCP Snorlax,

Any idea on when the patch will be that fixes the resolution changes upon start up?

I am using Wine version, latest


I don't think that fix made it into the latest patch (2016-04-05) as the windows are still growing/resizing each time you launch a new client.

I don't think it did ether, as I use the latest wine and it still has the same issue.

Yes, zkillboard seems to have similar issues.

Had a much better experience with the game last night. selected the wine wrapper as detailed in the OP and followed the instructions to the letter, I did not have a single IGB crash, not a single game freeze.

Sitting in station and flying in normal space, I get a steady 60FPS, when entering mission space, it drops to circa 40 FPS.Graphic settings are maxed out with no AA.

my only issue now seems to be the "Connection Lost, the Socket was closed" message I get. Tried re-setting my modem & router as mentioned in another thread I found which worked ok for a bit, but then I got the message again. definitely not as bad as the night before, but the problem still remains.

have upgraded my trial account to full sub based on my new experience on my imac Big smile

If you are not using an Apple Airport Extreme I would like to recommend them (since you are clearly a Mac person). I suffered from unreliable connections and devices for years with d-link, linksys, etc. before I finally gave up and figured I'd try the Apple device if only so I wouldn't have to re-boot the thing once (or more) a day. The difference was night and day. It only goes down when there is a power outage, I never get disconnected at random, and all my network access seems faster.

That said, if your provider has upstream problems there isn't much you can do but complain. I may be able to walk you through some network tests to help isolate the problem if you feel that would help you.

Make sure you don't have the dev versions of Wine enabled.

The dev versions are built automatically from 3 different repos, only one of which has my changes. If you have the dev versions enabled, with Latest selected, you will be somewhat randomly jumping between the CCP fork of Wine (which has the keyboard mapping fixed) or the original Wine repo from either the development or the stable branch. The ability to select from these dev builds is primarily to enable us to test different versions.



Is this related in any way at all to the dev versions of Beer?

First, the new Wine option runs very fine for me and my 5 year old iMac, made me subscribe from trial!

The only bug I could detect is that the market history graph's axes are no longer labeled. The graph is there alright, but you can't make heads an tails out of it without those labels.

Yes, it's a known issue - it's on the top of my list.

+1000000000 for this.

I tried it last night and frankly am now disturbed by the fact the voices in my head are not being drowned by the noise of my fans going mental.

Could you make this default because Cider is full of issues.

Oh, sorry, must have missed it's a known issue.

Well, I'll let you get back to rocking on then :D

Didn't look too much into it, so not sure if it's Wine or the Mac client in general, but Citadel graphics on SiSi are pretty glitchy. Shadows rendering very poorly and flickering all over the place.

I had an issue the other day with scanning with probes.
I get the map show up but the spheres don't show up and I can control my probes.
I couldn't see if anyone else was having this problem and I have to admit I haven't checked it out since.

My bookmarks are sorted wrong / different to the Cider/Windows sorting.

That is really annoying when living in a wormhole and trying to have bookmarking schemes...


The game also crashes when jumping gates in high-sec. I had the same issue in Cider, but wine is no improvement there either.


With the SSL remaining a nasty issue that doesn't allow tripwire, I am rolling back to cider now.

I'm working on the SSL issue, hope to have to resolved soon.

I'd love to see logs from crashes when jumping gates. If you run with LogLite (enable 'Run clients with logging' in launcher settings), then save the log and attach it to a bug report. Put my name in the title or send me the report id so I get it right away.
