Now that CCP is free from Cedega, I tried out the commercial version of Wine -just for fun. I wanted to see if it was any easier than wine. The product is called Cross Over Games by CodeWeavers and is available as a seven day trial.
Under 64bit Debian Linux v5, the Eve Online install option of Cross Over Games seemed to go smoothly enough. I extracted the installer by using sudo and then installed it under my user account -not root. CodeWeavers elected to use the premium content version of the Eve client but that version would not run correctly. It ran but no ships were visible -only the engine exhaust trails. To get Eve going, I restarted the client and opened the Esc menu. Then the Premium Content/graphics option was deselected. So, I was able to run the premium client with the classic content.

I've been using crossover and the premium client (premium disabled) to play eve-online since I got it in the Lame Duck Challenge. Premium graphics only works on nvidia 6x00 series and greater though. It's been very stable for me until recently, I had to use the taskset trick to run the client on one cpu or my computer freezes after character selection.
I'm going to have to use wine though for Apocrypha since I have to compile it to work around ati driver issues.

Thank you for the update. I gave the new version a try and experienced the same problem with premium graphics. I concur that the premium client without the premium graphics seems to work fine. I'm also using the latest ATI proprietary driver, v9.2.
It seems interesting that the 'bottle' used by CodeWeavers for their selectable Eve install is specific to Windows 2000. I seems to recall that Windows 2000 is no longer supported by CCP.

Not that many of use crossover tbh. wine (which crossover heavily promotes/uses/supports) is the app of choice for the most part. As crossover uses production wine + a tweak or three plus a different front end, what gets reported to winehq gets through in the long run to the crossover product as well. Unless, of course its a bug related to their front end tools (bottles and such.) which then would be appropriate to report directly to them.

My crossover runs flawless. There's multiple clients Problem (at the same time it appeared the focus bug in wine because of EVE code).
"/opt/cxgames/bin/wine" --bottle "win2000" --untrusted --workdir "/~/.cxgames/win2000""/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE" -- explorer /desktop=desk1x,1024x768 "/~/.cxgames/win2000/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe"
I start it with this. I can run multiple clients. I have no problem with freeezes etc(disable audio hardware acceleration).
Let me know if I can help more.
