HI guys, just a heads up regarding incoming changes that we're working on for the EVE Launcher. Whilst the usual caveats apply regarding supporting Linux, I would appreciate it if you could give it a whirl, and let me know if there's anything that could be an easy fix.
Here's the thread in the Test Server forum.

That's not the new Launcher though. Please read the first post in the thread I linked.
The version you're using is v.1.32 which is NOT v.2.1.528861-beta.3.

The login dialog is handled in an iframe, and so might be reporting differently against the embedded images (which are also HTTPS) failing to load. What's interesting is that the Python layer (and it's SSL handling) doesn't have this error, indicating that the problem might exist in a wine library outside of our control. The embedded webpage must be HTTPS to allow the login to occur in a secure context.
What I don't understand however, is why it's only an intermittent error.

If it reports as v.1.32 then it's the old Launcher. If you're connecting it to Sisi then it's simply the old Launcher with the new landing page.
Eoras Northwind wrote:With the patches between the 12th and 15th of May the launcher/updater went from missing large amounts of imagery to functioning mostly as it does under Windows 7 including loading animations. My desktop distribution's nightly wine packages were also updated to 1.5.30 in that time, so this confounds my testing.
The buddy offer window in the lower corner of the launcher alternates between broken and visible with logins. The links do properly fire off to your default desktop browser, though.
As I said above, this is only the webpage display; you're apparently still running the old Launcher
Eoras Northwind wrote:If you use a virtual desktop in Wine. the minimal 800x600 window is too small for the new launcher. At least 1024x768 desktop resolution is needed with this launcher.
I think 1024x768 is the minimum size for EVE so I don't know why you would ever be running at 800x600 and be expecting normal performance anyway.
Eoras Northwind wrote:Closing the launcher will leave graphics artifacts until it completes closing. Visible tearing is also seen when dragging the launcher around with the mouse.
I have noticed increased load due to the Test server launcher maxing out two of my desktop cores. The load on the GPUs was high enough to spike temperatures, but not enough to raise the PowerMizer settings from lowest. The temperature spike was only on the graphics card for the display the launcher was using and followed if restarted on a different one. The processes match those reported by others, a pair of launcher.exe processes. This is not seen with the TQ client.
There are never any logs reported by any running logserver for the launcher.
Regarding logs, the LogServer.exe is only for the game client. The Launcher logs into a folder called cache, under the launcher folder.

If you're able to login, it should show you the EULA.

For the immediate future your LInux based experience will still function acceptably; even though Wine fails to handle multi domain SSL connections. The EVE client can still be started, and logging in can still be accomplished there, much as you currently do.
However, since our goal is to allow alternative authentication methods, and those are designed to be implemented via web-services, at some point in the future the in-client login methods will be removed. There's no ETA for this at this time, but I am aware of the effect this would have on the EVE Linux community.
I can't promise that we will be able to fix these issues, since they appear to be fundamentally broken in Wine, but given that we're having this very discussion should point out that we're at least aware of the issues the new EVE Launcher experiences on Linux, even if we're not able to address them.

Because if this is removed we will be unable to sign on. And I doubt that there will be much change in regards to the launcher until then.
Will we be able to play after Odyssey or should I cancel my account right away. Hope not, just returned to EVE after half a year. This please. Here is a response from CCP: https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&m=3078762#post3078762 What a bullshit response. "It won't be before Odyssey", that's not an anwer to the question that was asked. Bloody hell if you don't already know if it will be for Odyssey or not, then maybe that's a sign that whatever you had in mind of doing is most definately NOT ready and thus should NOT be shipped.
Or it could be that it's a dependency that involves several teams changing many layers of our logon tech stack at the same time, and that to specify a date now, would be giving people a date which might very well change.
