Is it posible to install eve on a custom patition (custom path) ?
I dont have enough space for eve on my root partition, and cant find any information related to my problem on oficial howto. PS: "hacks" like mounting the partition on the path wraped-client use for install is not an acceptable solution
I tryed to run the windows clasic version trough cedega (with latest cedega-engine and the eve-custom-engine manualy instaled in cedega), but no luck. It seems that wraped client is somehow diferent from the pure win32 client.
Only solution for me is Wine + win32 client, better fps than wraped client (as reported by users wiht similar hardware) but no stations,gates,capitals rendering with geforce 7xxx series.
PS 2: I dont understand why CCP chose to officialy support Linux with such a crappy solution. Better spend the money on some capable progammers to port the engine to OpenGL witch is supported on all OSes/platforms if CCP realy care about those OSes/platforms. Or maybe just buy a damn lincence for a capable engine witch support all targeted OSes (like unreal engine), if u cant do it by yourself CCP. Wraped client is a hack , not a profesional solution users expect from a serious company.
Anyway, is still a step ahead, maybe CCP will please us with a better solution at next major expansion.
Also,now that i think about the future of eve, redesigning the engine to be less DB intensiv shoud be a priority too, since is looks like every single action in this game is DB related. Maybe some custom hardware with enough ram to use real RAM "ram-disk like" for DB access related to realtime actions in game and some custom DB engine optimized for your aplications , not that generic M$ product that no one use for serious apps. What will happen if EVE will have twice the users online and even bigger fleets ? No one like big fleets battles , no fun, but is still a necesary thing as the result of CCP designed the game's mecanics , so maybe finding a solution to avoid big fleets would be nice. GM answers on petitions related to fleet battles contain usualy a message about us chosing to go there and assuming the risk knowing that will be lag and not playable, but since the game permit it and we cant find alternate solutions ("give us that region so we can avoid lag" or "we wont give u that region so u better dont try to take it just to avoid lag" will not work )
Sorry about deviation from the subject, probably no CCP employe will read this anyway and sorry for my english too, not native.
So, back on the subject, is it posible to install eve on a custom patition (custom path) ?
