Yesterday I had to reinstall Ubuntu from scratch, so here's what I did to get Eve running again - might help, might not.
(Disclaimer: I only use Wine for Eve, I only ever run a single client, and I know practically nothing of the theory behind what I'm doing.)
1. Go here, and follow the instructions "Adding the WineHQ PPA Repository" and "Installing Wine". Install the Wine 1.5 beta package.
2. Open a terminal and paste the following:
winetricks corefonts d3dx9_36 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010
(I don't know if this is still necessary, I did it anyway).
3. Download the Eve Windows installer from here.
4. Run it. It should pop up in Wine, and takes a while to install. Go away and come back later. When the EULA window appears it will be blank for about 5-10 minutes. Don't panic.
5. In the Settings / Graphics menu, untick "Load Station Environment" to stop Captain's Quarters from trying to appear. You can safely retick this later on if you want to spin your ship around inside a station. For now, leave it unticked.
6. Theoretically, as of this date, Eve should now work. If it doesn't I've probably missed something vital, but fingers crossed. |

Good start. Try lowering all the graphics settings from the log in screen as much as you can, ie:
Anti-aliasing: Disabled
Post Processing: None
Shader Quality: Low
Texture Quality: Low
LOD Quality: Low
Shadow Quality: Low
Interior Effects: Low
Interior Shader Quality: Low
If it's playable with those settings you can start increasing them again until you find a happy middle ground between working and looking good. |

Good point, Hosedna. If you haven't installed the proprietary drivers for your graphics card you'll need to do that.
There's a good article here that might help with this, and also suggests some other things to do in order to get the most out of Ubuntu.

I guess this the cause of the problem. Minimum/recommended system requirements for running Eve are here. |

Hi all, was running okay on Tuesday, using Exefile.exe, but now crashing after a minute or so - game locks up, unable to exit without killing process.
Not entirely sure what I need to post that's relevant atm, but:
Ubuntu 12.04, Wine 1.5.31.
Overrides:
d3d11 (disabled)
d3dx9_36 (native, builtin),
msvcr100 (native, builtin)
msvcr80 (native, builtin)
msvcr90 (native, builtin)
msvcrt (native, builtin)
Should I try to reinstall from scratch? Any thoughts appreciated. |

Hey Zor, thanks for the advice. I removed the overrides, then updated and patched from the launcher which, as with previous poster, crapped out. Started from EveFile.exe but had same problem as before.
Ended up reinstalling Eve and now running fine from Evefile.exe with no overrides, so happy enough with that.
Can't make head nor tail of git patching, so I guess I'll come back to that when it becomes necessary. |

Now back to square one. Seems to log in okay using Evefile.exe, crashes after a minute or so. 
Git patching now necessary I guess. |

Nebu Retski wrote:The Awesomium patch is simply to correctly handle certificate handling (i.e. https stuf and has nothing to do with any of the eve software aside from the fact that the launcher requires proper https to do it's crap), it has no influence on the client itself. Your client crashing would not be resolved by patching your wine with the awesomium patch.
I for instance did not do the awesomium patch because I don't care about the launcher since I prefer the EveFile.exe method and for me the client doesn't crash (aside from the occasional crash).
Thanks Nebu, that's appreciated. The launcher doesn't really bother me greatly, just looking to get Eve running at this point. Currently restarting from scratch on a fresh Wine prefix. If that doesn't work I'm stumped.

I'm using ./ExeFile.exe in .wine/drive_c/"Program Files"/CCP/EVE/bin to start the game.
I'm currently using no overrides, as suggested.

I also have audio and Eve voice disabled.

As previously: Eve loaded, seemed fine, then locked up after about a minute - maybe a little less. Was unable to exit without killing process.
Any thoughts gratefully appreciated. |

I'm probably doing it wrong, but...
Running Eve using command WINEDEBUG=+seh,fixme-all wine ExeFile.exe, terminal output. Same as before, as far as I can see.
Using command WINEDEBUG=+heap,fixme-all wine ExeFile.exe, terminal constantly scrolling, Eve didn't load. Screenshot.
WINEDEBUG=+relay,fixme-all wine ExeFile.exe, same as +heap. Terminal constantly scrolling, Eve didn't load. Screenshot.
Tried virtual desktop but experienced same problem. |

Okay, thanks both.
I'll post the Log Server file in case anyone else has any bright ideas, then head to the Wine forums.

Hi all. Annoyingly, I never worked out exactly what was causing the problem, but a complete reinstall of Ubuntu finally fixed it.
Cheers, waving of flags, laughing children dancing in the streets, etc.
Fin. |
