Debeus	Posted - 2008.04.21 00:32:00 - [1] Tested with wine 0.9.58+ Remember to always download premium client even if you don't plan to use premium content, and follow these: Install msttcorefonts and copy them to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/windows/fonts Set OffscreenRenderingMode to fbo in wine registry by changing the following direct3d setting in ~/.wine/user.reg [Software\\Wine\\Direct3D] "DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl" "OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo" "PixelShaderMode"="enabled" "VertexShaderMode"="hardware" "VideoMemorySize"="256" Add "voiceenabled=0" to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/username/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility/settings/prefs.ini Start a terminal and: ping -v -i 10 87.237.38.200 (<- Prevents inactivity disconnect) In game... Set shadow quality to off in display (turn off Premium if not 8800) Disable hardware acceleration for audio (<- Prevents many crashes) Premium worked almost perfect with client 52000 (with nvidia 8800 stations DO SHOW). But now with 53162 all the lights are messed up and they broke ATI horribly in the official cedega dist... If anyone knows how to disable lights, please say.
Debeus	Posted - 2008.04.21 04:14:00 - [2] Please disregard my last comment about client 53162, it turned out to be a wine issue. Do NOT use wine 0.9.59 or you will see all the lights rendered in opaque black obstucting your view. For the time being, stick to wine 0.9.58, it works great. Ubuntu and Debian wine 0.9.58 packages
Debeus	Posted - 2008.05.06 16:04:00 - [3] The nvidia driver i used when everything worked (except solar system mini icon/maps, and few small objects such as Sansha's bunker, etc) was 169.09 (from nvidia) with wine 0.9.58 on Ubuntu 7.10 x64. Now i upgraded to Hardy Heron (and nvidia 169.12) and i'm facing new problems. First as expected wine 0.9.59 caused lights (transparency) to go black, tried with wine 0.9.61 and the problem remained, then went to the menu trying to switch off premium and found the menu options after the first column dissapeared... Tried downgrading wine to 0.9.58 and the problem with menu disappearance remains (lights work again). Downgraded nvidia to 169.09 and still the same... I suspect something with Eve client data, maybe cache or something... Will try with a fresh install, else ill try with a fresh wine. Well the problem is not limited to the options menu not rendering, in game 3d things don't show like they should: In station 3d background is replaced with a bitmap and the ship won't show at all :(
Debeus	Posted - 2008.05.07 09:33:00 - [4] Got it!!! Read carefully: I have Ubuntu 8.04 x64 but this probably works with x32. Remember i have nvidia 8800gt 7xxx ppl must disable premium content. I am using wine 0.9.58 (NOT .59) and nvidia driver 169.12. How to install old wine? Easy, uninstall .59 if you have it, go get the package from that page and do get the gutsy package, (works perfect in Hoary) and let gdebi install it, even it it warns you that there is a newer one. After install, go to synaptic search for wine, should list your .58 select it then use the "package" pull down menu and use "Lock version". I did a clean reinstall (renamed my ~/.wine away) of the Eve client as described in my previous post. After installing the client, i did execute the bundled RedistD3DXOnly.exe, it does work and you don't need to download anything else. Copied the msttcorefonts into the wine fonts folder (cp /usr/share/fonts/truetype/msttcorefonts/* ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/). Added the fbo rendering registry options to ~/.wine/user.reg as described in my previous post. At this point the client would run fine with 7.10, but not with 8.04 because... "The lower 64K of system memory is no longer addressable by default." and guess what new error message was wine spitting... So while wine gets fixed over this, to get the old behavior back; you have to edit the file /etc/sysctl.conf, just comment the line with: "vm.mmap_min_addr = 65536". This means you just have to add the symbol # to the beginning on the line. To edit, hit alt-f2 and type gksudo gedit /etc/sysctl.conf Now save the file and restart the system... Enter the game, accept the eula by scrolling down and click accept, then hit esc to go to options, audio tab, uncheck hardware acceleration. Login and enjoy! While we are at it, a tip for TS. I frankly don't see pulseaudio ready just yet, maybe if you follow the instructions for a pulseaudio perfectsetup... I didn't bother and found a much simpler solution: Use wine to install the windows version. It complains about some codecs not installing, but seems to work. TS3 is supposed to work with alsa, meaning not stealing the soundcard for itself... If i were at appdb i would mark Eve Online with wine 0.9.58 silver, and the rest as garbage; at least for premium content. For classic content current versions seem to work fine; just remember to download the premium client, not the classic client.
Debeus	Posted - 2008.05.08 18:26:00 - [5] Originally by: Spud NoSkill I have the problem where the two panels at the bottom of the screen are not disappearing when I run Eve. I've only just install Ubuntu 8.04 and am learning it as I go. Also some of the planets look a little glitchy ... but i can live with that. Premium graphics look ok but i can't see bottom of the screen fully !!!!!! What video card? Did you try different resolutions? (hit ESC ingame and select another from the "Display and Graphics" tab). Did you try with a fresh ~/.wine folder? (needs reconfiguring wine and reinstalling game).
Debeus Amarr Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.09.04 16:34:00 - [6] Update to my wine install guide (because this thread never ends) on a recently installed machine: Have your 3D in working order (glxinfo \| grep rendering says Yes) Install the latest wine (1.1+) install msttcorefonts and copy them to .wine/drive_c/windows/fonts Edit .wine/user.reg to add this: [Software\\Wine\\Direct3D] "DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl" "OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo" "PixelShaderMode"="enabled" "VertexShaderMode"="hardware" "VideoMemorySize"="256 Configure wine sound (winecfg) Hardware Acceleration: Emulated (not Complete). Download and run (with wine) the installer for eve online Premium (never classic), you choose to use classic or premium graphics later. Run Eve client, accept eula, enter settings and disable shadows if you use premium content; go to audio and disable Hardware Acceleration (to avoid lockups). Yes, F11 minimaps don't work. In turn, you get stability, copy/paste and unicode. Tips You need a recent 3D card for premium, not sure about classic. EFT works fine with wine, just don't try to minimize. Also the trick to select modules in your ship is to right click elsewhere first. Force hi-color icons in preferences. TS2 (for windows) works fine with wine and with eve running along. When asked, don't install additional codecs (these will fail anyway). TS2 for Linux uses OSS which doesn't share the audio, so don't bother Use gtkevemon for tracking skills, EveTimer seems dead. Evemon does work painfully (expect many crashes attempting to load your plan), you need at least mono 1.9.1 (unofficial binaries available) and it taxes your cpu like crazy. So much for .net portability... -- Running Eve Online Premium with Ubuntu 8.04
Debeus Amarr Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.09.06 22:33:00 - [7] Eh? What double click freezes? It never happened to me ^_^ Hmm Intel chipset might not like Premium mode, after install, start once in "Safemode" (/safemode) and adjust settings as needed. In the winehq page there are repositories for Debian (tested with etch and lenny) use them so you get wine 1.1.4. -- Running Eve Online Premium with Ubuntu 8.04
Debeus Amarr Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.09.25 10:04:00 - [8] Originally by: Andian Steel After undocking, right-clicking anywhere in space gives me the menu for the space station. No matter where I face, including in the opposite direction. So I can't go anywhere. Ideas? Umm if this is what i think, here is a tip: Next to the (solar) system name, is a small white arrow, click there and you'll get the menu you usually get in the middle of space (planets, belts, etc). You should also be able to use the overview to jump to gates, planets, etc (if you add them). -- Running Eve Online Premium with Ubuntu 8.04
Debeus Amarr Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.10.01 00:57:00 - [9] Originally by: Kadesh Priestess Edited by: Kadesh Priestess on 29/09/2008 20:32:34 Is it just me or singularity client on wine hangs on focus loss? Quote: wine: Unhandled page fault on read access to 0x0000006c at address 0x10045e45 (thread 001a), starting debugger... That patch with client-side stackless IO will be deployed tomorrow, so it should break TQ client too... Confirmed, this is ocurring in the TQ client deployed, tested on 2 different machines, both classic and premium. -- Running Eve Online Premium with Ubuntu 8.04
Debeus Amarr Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.10.01 22:09:00 - [10] Well, specifying the same resolution as the screen, and having in game the same resolution and fullscreen results in fullscreen. Incidentally alt-f10 is maximize for gnome, alt-f9 minimize. -- Wine + fix

Debeus Amarr Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.12.04 04:54:00 - [11] Make sure you are using nvidia 177 (See: System -> Administration -> Hardware Drivers) Try premium content, without shadows and hdr. Please disable Compiz (System -> Appearance -> Visual Effects: None). And check your gpu temp, using nvclock -i, just in case. -- Wine + fix
Debeus Amarr Princeps Corp T e r c i o s	Posted - 2008.12.06 16:36:00 - [12] Edited by: Debeus on 06/12/2008 16:44:28 Originally by: Kadesh Priestess Great. Thus, the only issue that affects my installation (i don't use shadows) is crash on focus restore :P This is solved using the virtual desktop feature: padsp wine explorer /desktop=EVE,1600x1200 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe" Pick the resolution you like, using the same as the desktop results in full screen. The real solution for Pulseaudio is letting the pulseaudio driver in, which the developers don't want... -- Wine + fix
Debeus Amarr Princeps Corp Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2009.02.02 03:06:00 - [13] I am using 1.1.14 and it looks the same to me. Ubuntu 8.10 64bits. Nvidia 8800gt. (177 driver)
Debeus Amarr Princeps Corp Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2009.08.22 19:01:00 - [14] Edited by: Debeus on 22/08/2009 19:06:00 Currently wine 1.1.27 or later is needed. You must have the Arial.ttf font in your ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts folder (winetricks corefonts). Inside game settings, use full screen and match the resolution to your virtual desktop. For true full screen, simply match the virtual desktop resolution with your actual desktop size.
