Running EVE on wine under linux, I logged in this morning and the game just goes to a black screen after character selection. I was on last night without any issue, and suddenly this morning I can't play. Anyone else having this issue, or know how to solve it?

I am having the same issue. I am running wine-staging 2.13 and mesa 17.1.5 with an r9 fury under arch linux. What distro and drivers are you using?

Gentoo Linux
Kernel 4.9.16

Nvidia GTX 960

Wine 2.3 with staging patches

Someone else had reported it a few days ago as well:

As a side note, I just caved and installed the linux launcher and it's working. Not sure how I feel about a separate wine instance being pulled for this, but it's working and my wine isn't, so for the time being that's what I'll be using.

I also fixed mine by deleting all the launcher settings (backing up `.eve/wineenv`, `rm -rf .cache/CCP/; rm -rf .eve; rm -rf .EVE; rm -rf .local/share/CCP; rm -rf .config/CCP/`, and then restoring .eve/wineenv).

You can also use a custom wine installation with the linux launcher in the settings.

EDIT: It turns out I may have spoken too soon. After relogging, I am getting the issue again.

EDIT2: It appears that it may be a wine-staging problem. If I switch to regular wine, it seems to work.

EDIT3: Nope, it seems to be an intermittent, random problem.
