Snowcrash Winterheart2	Posted - 2007.11.08 11:11:00 - [1] Originally by: Darahk J'olonar $10 says that WineHQ get this nailed down before Transgaming does. $10 says WINE can do it now if tinkered with, possibly without tinkering. Not tried Sisi yet, still bopping along in TQ on wine 0.9.48. It's good to see CCP offering a Linux client regardless of the underlying API conversion/abstraction layer.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Federal Navy Academy	Posted - 2007.11.22 09:41:00 - [2] Originally by: Dragy Hi there, i have a lil problem. Managed finally to install eve on slackware with wine (cedega sucks) and i have 2 questions : 1) how to make the run file to have a normal eve icon ? 2) how to install directx9.0c so that i can actually play eve ? Would be lil grateful for your assistance See above the location of the Redist, this will install D3D to keep EVE happy, however, you WILL need the closesource driver for an Nvidia/ATi card in order to go, if you've got "Driver nv" or "Driver radeon" in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file... you need to do extra work. I hate to say it but if you've got anything other than an Nvidia card... expect headaches and hair pulling. EVE, like a lot of games, seems to do something that buggers up wine's icon extraction process... so you'll see the default Wine glass icon on the desktop. It's simplicity itself to download and install a Windows icon extract utility, point it at the EVE exe file and pull the ico out. The just point the desktop shortcut at it. ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2007.12.04 16:31:00 - [3] Originally by: Lythaniel Stuff. I retract me previous stuff. All bets are now officially off :) kudos to the code hackers here for the sync.c bitflip and congrats to the wine people. ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2007.12.09 16:26:00 - [4] Just to let people know, I'm currently flying around space in the EVE:Trinity (Premium) client with SM3 graphics disabled. To to do this I've used the latest GIT, added the two bitflips in elfies patch (see appdb.winehq.com) and used the network on/off flick to jump start it. Currently seeing slight frame rate increase over cegeda client on my Go 7900 GS and I'm warping around testing stability. Will let you know what did/didn't happen and what does/doesn't work. ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2007.12.10 09:02:00 - [5] Originally by: Veskya Still no crashes, running 2 clients works fine (i have to use wineprefix with 2 different directories but that might be because i run it in virtual desktop mode). The third client has rather crappy performance but works as well. The issue with settings not being saved when quitting the game can be circumvented by closing the game with the "x" button in the window title if you are running it in windowed or virtual desktop mode. Interesting, out of interest what's your box? Still getting the 50% per jump drop in frames here even with DEBUG=-all ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2007.12.11 23:35:00 - [6] Originally by: rig0r Ok after doing some more tests it seems there still is a drop in FPS after a session change, I noticed it after jumping or docking in a station. regedit and poke around the software/wine/Direct3D area for the the offscreenrendering setting, if it's pbuffer set to fbo that fixed the hooge frame drop for me. ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.

Did you test this in empire? even with fbo buffer i had the frame drops there. Yep, I'm pretty much empire based :) Very weird... ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2007.12.12 18:13:00 - [8] Originally by: ElChupacabra Yeah fbo doesn't fix my frame drop either, and I've tested in low and high-sec. Annoyingly enough, it did fix mine. Then in a fit of stupid curiosity I went and fiddled with something else.... back to square one and in the same boat as you guys. ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2007.12.12 23:24:00 - [9] Originally by: rig0r I've had 2 freezes in wine just now, one after undocking my carrier and the second after a cynojump :( It seems to freeze when approaching a gate for the first time in a session (2 - 4 seconds) here, but it is performing a metric ton of disk reads... so forgivable; specially as I'm on a laptop and thus a slow disk. Not yet had it drop dead though; but then I can't test jump drives ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2007.12.18 18:41:00 - [10] Originally by: Gilbert T I hear that running through wine works better than the "native" client. Is that true, and is there any way to install it without access to a Windows computer? Maybe copying the contents of .cedega/EVE_whatever/drive_c to .wine/c_drive or something? Might work. Best bet is to download the Windows client and run it via wine. That way you avoid any freaky weirdness. Yes, the EVE installer will work just fine in wine. ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2007.12.23 03:08:00 - [11] That is very... odd. I've never seen wine generate a Windows dialouge requesting admin privs. The only thing I can suggest is to try bumping the default version for win2k to winxp. You can do this by running winecfg. That shouldn't make a great deal of difference but you never know. ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2007.12.28 14:48:00 - [12] Suki, http://wiki.winehq.org/UsefulRegistryKeys The ones you'll be most interested in are: DirectDrawRenderer (set to opengl) OffscreenRenderingMode (set to fbo) VideoMemorySize (set to your video memory size) ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2008.01.13 09:40:00 - [13] Originally by: Starbooze 1. Stations, jumpgates, stargates, and capitol ships do not render. At all. This alone makes Premium via wine unplayable. SOME != ALL. Caldari stations do render. Originally by: Starbooze 2. Map browser is broke. Map works fine. You mean the sidebar thing? That hasn't worked in Wine for a long time. Originally by: Starbooze 3. Maps in mission briefings are broke. See above. Originally by: Starbooze 4. Warp tunnels are broke. Random. Seen the same thing in Cegeda. Originally by: Starbooze 5. In combat graphics are broke. Only if fighting an invisible cap ship. Gun/missile/drone animations play fine. Damage is reported as usual. Originally by: Starbooze 6. FPS while decent at first, gets worse over time, indicating the very strong possibility of a memory leak somewhere. Fixed since erm 0.9.51+patches no sign of decreasing fps on 0.9.52, yet to do testing on 0.9.53 Originally by: Starbooze 7. The client in space stutters quite often. Turning off HDR and setting Cache to HIGH can correct this. The stutter is usually the client pulling data off the disk. Originally by: Starbooze 8. Stars are basicly broke. They do not flare or spew fire. This is a problem because? Actually... just jumped to the Aunia star... it's flaring nicely and I can see some texture on the sphere. Originally by: Starbooze 9. Just to get it to run, you must disable shadowing and set regedit crap. Oh by the way, many of you will have to disable sound too. Well you can disable shadows if you WANT speed. I turn them on for jaunts to production bases so I can see the purdy. Sound and EVE has been an issue since I started playing in Exodus in Windows; oddly enough when I do want sound from EVE it's there. Yeah so us wine users have to run regedit. Do you really thing the Cegeda config window isn't doing the same thing? ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
Snowcrash Winterheart2 Gallente Concordia Discors	Posted - 2008.02.01 01:21:00 - [14] Originally by: Starbooze denial that they existed by Snowcrash Winterheart2, Now your putting words in to my mouth. I said that some of the things you are whinging about in a never ending pyramid of piffle simply don't exist anymore. Specifically the frame rate drop over time/jumps. I also stated that whilst apparently all Gallente stations do not render, some Minmatar, Amarr and Caldari ones do. This also applies to freighters and I would wager cap/super cap ships as well. I also stated that the pause on session change (specifically jumping) can be minimised by setting the cache to high in game. Considering I play on a laptop with a slow drive, a 1 - 2 second judder is, for the most, acceptable. It does it in basic as well for me.... and in the Cegeda client... Don't like it? Tough. ----- Four paws... four sets of claws.
