don't run the eve.exe to play the game.
Simple run path_to_installation/bin/ExeFile.exe
That bypasses the launcher and runs the game directly. |

Your videocard needs to support shader model 3.0 (source) and I'm not sure if the GMA950 support is sufficient for running eve on linux GMA950 only supports shader model 3.0 through software "emulation" (source). I don't think the current drivers in Linux support it, so unless you plan to buy a new computer, your best bet will be to try it in windows.

Can you start the client in a terminal because without error messages, no one can help you.
Run it like this:
WINEDLLOVERRIDES="*msvcrt,*msvcr100,*msvcr80=b,n" wine PATH_TO_EVE/bin/ExeFile.exe
Then if the client doesn't start, copy paste the error you get over here. |

Did you install corefonts with winetricks? I read that when installing wine that you also installed mscorefonts, but maybe it's not exactly the same. Normally the corefonts are installed per wine prefix, that's why I'm not sure if installing the mscorefonts like you did is sufficient. At least it doesn't hurt to try.

Define slow because when you load the eve client for the first time after a reboot it can take a couple of minutes, after that it is usually quite fast. Also does you computer really lock up or you're simply looking at an empty EULA because you are missing the corefonts?

That is because you need to add separate overrides for the eve.exe and ExeFile.exe applications. Simply open the winecfg for your wine prefix (judging from your script, simply running winecfg is sufficient). Then on the Applications tabs at the bottom you click add application, browse for eve.exe. This adds that application to the list, then you select it (so it looks blue), go to the libraries tab and add the overrides *msvcr100,*msvcr90,*msvcr80 (just type msvcr100 and add a * in the front) and set them to native then builtin. Do the same for the ExeFile.exe, only set the overrides b,n.
Now you should be able to launch the game from the launcher if you change your script to the following
export LANG=en_US.UTF-8
export LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8
wine explorer /desktop=eve1,1280x800 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"
You're not supposed to set the WINEDLLOVERRIDES anymore or else it will not work.
