Edited by: Sevarus James on 27/03/2008 05:05:41 Phoronix is reporting on this as well:
Phoronix preview link
Fixed the crossover link: Crossover games link
The site indicates OFFICIAL EVE-0NLINE support with premium. The phoronix site is also indicating that the crossover game package benchmarks are a TON faster than Vista, and also faster than wine .9.58 (which was just released).

Indeed, the Crossover client (trial version) gets Eve to render stargates and stations for me (Nvidia 7600GT). It still suffers from significantly lower framerates than the classic client though, undocking in Jita gives me a slideshow.
As my PC only meets the minimum requirements for Windows/premium, it's really not bad.

seems to be very slow.
fps in station 20+
fps enroute 7-10fps
graphics are outstanding.
not playable yet, for me. :)

I can't get Crossover Games to display the EULA when I launch Eve with it. I just get an empty box where the EULA should be and I am unable to scroll down to accept the EULA. Anyone know how to get past this problem?

OK I reinstalled the Arial font from the crossover configuration window and managed to get the game to run. I am noticing slightly lower FPS than I get with wine .58 and my character has a totally black face (with the same graphics settings as wine) in Crossover Games.
It does however fix the rendering problem I have experienced with fonts and windows/lines since upgrading to wine .58 though so that is one improvement. However, at the moment it is not worth ú25 GBP they want for me to get a Crossover Games license since it doesn't offer any increase in performance compared to Wine which is free.

this thread may be of interest:

seems like crossover has got a handle on it. :) the 'HDR' tip is very helpful
premium content: in-station fps 60 out-of-station 27
still some icon rendering glitches

Edited by: Alit Neroon on 29/03/2008 20:33:11 I`m slowly, but surely getting my hopes up, that I will finally have a worthy Eve-sperience on Linux-systems.
Currently, I`ll stick to Classic on cxgames, as I`m currently just interested in the game running without any trouble. ~~~~~

Edited by: GB Man on 10/05/2008 18:57:58 Edited by: GB Man on 10/05/2008 18:57:34 IF this program can manage to get some respectable frames on Eve. I might finally have to make the switch. As much as people try, XP is the only true gamer platform.

Well, from my perspective, windows server 2008 looks like it's going be the gaming OS for atleast alittle while. It has directx 10 without all the bloat of vista.
Anyways, since linux/mac/BSD/whatever have so little desktop market share, most game developers aren't going to care about it, and other OSs will be left in an eternal game of catch up until something changes. It's sad, but true.
I'm more concerned with why you think you shouldn't use both. Linux is free, has better security, and is more stable generally speaking. Distros like Ubuntu have made real effort to be simple and easy to use. If you want to play some games that aren't supported in linux, then go ahead and boot up windows. If you want to do something like surfing youtube, or perhaps something like checking your bank account over the internet, then I know I would use linux. Sure you're going to have to wait a couple minutes to switch OSs, but you shouldn't have to switch alot, and I would think that the extra security alone would be worth the wait.

I've used Crossover Games quite a bit, and it's almost fully usable.. except for a problem that shows up after you've been playing for 30+ minutes. Basically the framerate drops down to almost 0, and eventually just seems to lock up.
There's no real pattern - it seems to happen no matter what you're doing. Docked, undocked, combat, no combat, etc. It could happen in 30 minutes, or it could happen in 90 minutes.
Other than that, I have very few complaints. The character portraits do not render properly (often the face is all black except for the eyes, which render perfectly -- pretty creepy), but that's really it.
Very close.

I've been quite pleased with Crossover so far - I've only got some portraits that don't render, and at times it lags a bit, but I can finally see all drone/ship icons, and - more than two players in my proximity don't drop the FPS rate to 6-7. Other minor problem comes when entering some systems, when graphics go completely white until I set and reset the color values. Else, smooth as ice.
I purchased the full version today. Running on a P3 3MHz machine under Ubuntu 8.04 and with a Nvidia 6600GT card.

I had same thing with premium when I connected my 3rd account(only gf7700 in a laptop), when I realized I had no swap partition activated..my bad.
The black portraits and exit issue was solved in the unsuported release they've made.

Ahh, good to know. I'll poke around on Google and see if I can find it, but just in case - did you download it from the Codeweavers website? Anything special I should know in order to find it?
