Okay here is what I am getting after installing everything I think I am supposed to: the initial Apocrypha splash screen then nothing. No launcher, no HD noises and lights, nothing, it just goes away like I never tried to launch it.
My current environment is:
Laptop with an ATI Radeon Xpress 200M (which was working in classic perfectly) video drivers are updated arial.ttf has been added to Fonts (doesn't matter though, there's no launcher screen yet) Wine 1.1.16 is compiled from source and the ATI patch installed (and it was recompiled) I have added the following to user.reg for Wine:
[Software\\Wine\\Direct3D] "MaxFragmentUniforms"="1024" "MaxVaryings"="52" "MaxVertexUniforms"="1024" "VertexShaderMode"="hardware"
Now I don't know if those added numbers are correct for my card/system or not, nor how to find out.
I'm lost, could use some help please.

There is a known issue with eve and wine that sometimes occurs on startup. The client will splash hang and appear to go away. Its NOT completely gone and if you try to restart without killing the exefile.exe process(es) hanging, it won't restart.
So you get the splash poof gone issue, open sysmon and under the processes tab, kill all exefile.exe instances. THEN restart the client after the wine processes go away.
It appears that your system looks "ready" so that would be my guess.

Yep, I used to get that occasionally in windows. but there killing the process and restarting always worked, this time it's not working. I killed all 9 processes of eve that were stalled (sleeping) and restarted, same effect. Tried it a few times, and same every time.
Do you have a link to an original thread on this issue perhaps. I'm thinking it must be something wine related, perhaps something involving compiling from source instead of package manager, or a setting somewhere?
I should have said: I'm using Ubuntu 8.10

Remember to ensure that not only are the exefile.exe processes killed, but that "explorer" and any other "wine" processes are removed as well. If you have multiple instances of exefile.exe hanging, then I guarantee you haven't killed em' all. (as in the other ones mentioned here.)
Another way to make sure you're "clean" is to reboot the box.
One of the things I recall causing a problem was that eve was timing out on first run. I'd suggest having a few applications open before starting eve.
If anyone here remembers the bug report this was a part of, feel free to chime in here.

It's fixed in the latest beta of Cedega. As a subscriber, you may still be able to join the beta team. A fellow known as Lucas is the one to be contacted if you would like access to the current in-house version.

Sorry, that definitely not helping any. I've made certain all eve and wine processes were killed, and nothing else is running at all. Still the same problem each time. It runs for a few seconds on the splash screen, then the processes all get set to 'pipe_wait' and just site there.
I tried one fix I saw in the forums to set voiceenabled=0 and audio=0 in prefs.ini, didn't change anything still though.
I'm quite lost here.
Cadega isn't supported anymore with Apocrypha.

okay, hang this one up. I got it fixed by uninstalling the source compiled wine I had and going with the Ubuntu .deb. Eve loads up and plays fine now, sound and all, except that, as I feared, I now have the already well documented 'no ships/stations' problem. I'll scour that thread now for answers. Thanks!

Try running the patched wine without those registry settings. Then run EVE with everything on the lowest settings you can and restart the client, hopefully the shaders don't call anything that needs 1024 uniforms in that mode. The patch does 2 things, it adds registry settings for ATI cards that have wrong opengl capabilities listed and it doesn't subtract bools and ints uniforms from a shader if it doesn't use them (this is what fixes nvidia cards). I haven't tried the shader model 2 client yet to see how well it works.
I think wine has the fixes in for ATI directx9 cards for the varyings, if not trying setting it to 32 or lower (28, 24, so on).
EDIT: The crash happens when the numbers are too high for your card, so it might have been the varyings set too high or the uniforms or both. |
