A word of warning: I rarely used wine, so I don't know how to use it (or set it) properly.

Anyway, I've downloaded the installer which granted usage of a custom wine version and even the previous version without that feature... I'm still not able to use.

Here are my logs:

After downloading everything, if I enable client logging and try to log in, I get those other errors.

I've tried to download every possible dependency I could came up with: ming, wine32 and 64, gcc, every python library I could came up with (I'm learning it, so I even have dev tools) ... But still nothing.
I'm guessing there is something wrong with the evelauncher which for some reason is not able to find and install both the QT WebEngine and the LD libraries... And about the latter, I don't have any LD_LIBRARY_PATH set by default, which sounded kinda strange.

Any hint or tip about what to do or try next?

EDIT: solved

I'm running with an integrated intel GPU, so I didn't need to install additional / specific drivers for my laptop.

Anyway, I've never played games so far, so I had to download and install some packages before I was able to play the game. Whenever possible I've installed the i686 version. Here is the "short command" for the lazy.

sudo yum install libdap* openldap* libmpd123* gnutls* pulseaudio* ghc*OpenGL* libtxc_dxtn mesa*



  • libdap (libdap++ library)
  • openldap (Lightweight Directory Access Protocol)
  • libmpg123 (required to play mp3 audio)
  • gnutls (SSL, TLS and DTLS protocols for safe/encrypted connections. Maybe not mandatory, but why not install it?)
  • pulseaudio (sound server)
  • ghc*OpenGL* (Haskell OpenGL library, I needed it to run Shader Model 3.0 on Wine)
  • libtxc_dxtn ( Free implementation of the s3tc texture compression algorithm)
  • mesa* (Mesa libGLw runtime library)


OpenGL and mesa libraries may not be required or mandatory if you are running with a dedicated GPU, but I can't help you about what you should download or use.

FINAL EDIT: yup, it works fine. Good job Devs Big smile

UP

To avoid further mistakes, are i686 libs required or it should be able to run with x64_86 architecture?

So far, it looks like i686 libs are required to play it.

After installing some packages, namely:

  • libdap
  • openldap
  • libmpg123
  • gnutls


I'm able to run the client, but right after the game window spawns I'm getting a Wine error which claims Shader Model 3 is not supported, which is kinda dumb since I was able to play EVE with the same laptop on Windows.

I need to dig further this error.

IT COULD WORK!

I don't have much time to test if all these packages are required or not, but here are those which I had to install:

  • libpulse*i686
  • ghc*OpenGL*
  • libtxc_dxtn
  • mesa*


So far, game start and the intro played correctly. I'll let you know if I found any other issue
