I am trying to get Eve working in wine. I have checked out the latest wine from git and applied the patch. I have managed to install Eve using wine but when I run it, I get the splash screen for about 15 seconds then a crash:

paladine@mail:~/eve-online/c_drive/Program Files/CCP/EVE$ wine eve.exe
fixme:process:IsWow64Process (0xffffffff 0x34fe3c) stub!
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered

fixme:sync:BindIoCompletionCallback 0x210, 0x4edfce, 0, stub!
paladine@mail:~/eve-online/c_drive/Program Files/CCP/EVE$


I have also added the IP mentioned earlier in this thread to my hosts file pointing to localhost.

I am completely new to wine, I have been using cedega for 2 years so I have neverbothered with Wine before now.

Any help appreciated

Did you install the premium patch? if so something might have went wrong with the .diff patch, check the wine source files if the bitflips worked ^^

Normally after patching you should be done.
Check dlls/kernel32/sync.c somewhere around line 1913 you should fine the BindIoCompletionCallback function, the return variable should be set to "TRUE"

/******************************************************************************
*BindIoCompletionCallback (KERNEL32.@)
*/
BOOL WINAPI BindIoCompletionCallback( HANDLE FileHandle, LPOVERLAPPED_COMPLETION_ROUTINE Function, ULONG Flags)
{
FIXME("%p, %p, %d, stub!\n", FileHandle, Function, Flags);
SetLastError(ERROR_CALL_NOT_IMPLEMENTED);
return TRUE;
}


If that is correct try adding "www.eve-online.com 127.0.0.1" to your hosts file instead of only the ip.

I used the classic client and then applied the premium patch but theoretically that should make much of a difference.

Is there a Wiki or howto with all the latest hackery to get this working on the .50 or .51 wine? Have scanned through the last 10 or so pages of this thread and its all rather confusing.

---

Basically you have to do this:
-Download the wine-git version, see here http://wiki.winehq.org/GitWine
-Download the elf's patch ( http://elfe.mine.nu/eve/linux/trinity.diff ) in the wine git directory and apply it with patch -p1 < trinity.diff
-Compile wine git
-Install the premium client of eve
-Install DX9 with the file in the bin directory of eve (it's named redistsomething.exe). If this doesn't work, try with this: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=9226a611-62fe-4f61-aba1-914185249413&displaylang=en
If some dll is missing download it and paste in the system32 directory of wine
-Copy arial.ttf in the windows/font directory of wine (search it in your computer if you've installed ms fonts)
-Paste this line in the /etc/hosts file: 87.237.39.199 localhost and restart the network
-Launch eve, press esc and uncheck the premium client option

Hope I didn't forgot anything

for the prefs.ini

voiceenabled=0
audio=0

Other than that i can only suggest fiddling with some of the wine settings in regedit to see if it helps.
There are more font files than just arial.ttf btw but im not sure if their actually needed but you could try ^^

http://downloads.sourceforge.net/corefonts/arial32.exe?modtime=1029369600&big_mirror=0
Run the file in wine and it should install all which are required (or not) ^^

OK installing the corefonts as you described got me past the EULA problem and the fps has significantly improved. I stop the network before launching Eve in wine and I get to the login screen. However, when I retart the network and then proceed to login, everything seems to work, it goes through authentication, sets everything up says Done and then just stops on the Login screen with a message next to my username saying "Unable to connect to 87.237.38.200 on port 26000" and if I click on "Connect" again I get a "Local Session Corrupt" error which says:

"The client's local session information is corrupt, probably as a result of failed cleanup during a disconnect. Connecting to the server in this state could lead to a rather unpleasant game experience. Please restart the client prior to logging in."

If I hit connect again, I always get the same message, and when I start again (kill network, load eve, restart network, login) I am faced with the same problem.

Looks like I am getting there slowly though.

Any ideas?

Download Premium content, install it, but then disable it. I had the same problem and that was the fix.

CTRL+F ^^

If you are having FPS decrease issues with the wine+git solution, add another entry to your /etc/hosts:

87.237.39.200 localhost

As strange as it may seems, this totally fixed the FPS decrease issue for me and some other people that mentionned it on http://appdb.winehq.org/.

Try it with '87.237.39.200 work_you_damn_thing' :P
Since that host doesnt exist that should get you the same result as localhost would without a webserver ^^

Hi,

Another good notice:, NV_VAR extesion is now available on Nvidia beta drivers, and more FPS is now available for us ^^, this driver is much better than stable version (100.14.19), beta drivers version is 169.04 and you can download it from :

Linux 64 Bits System

Linux 32 Bits System

Another good notice: HDR Bloom now works better (in high ^^) with beta drivers :P....

Screenshots with NV_VAR extension On and HDR Bloom High ^^:

Screenshot 01_ HDR High

Screenshot 02_ HDR High

Screenshot 03 _ HDR High

Bye ^^

This is all good news but, I don't suppose anyone knows a sane way to install wine-git so that it doesn't destroy the cedega version of wine?

Unfortunately I can't find the Cedega .dat file so if I screw something up with Wine, I have to download the whole damn thing again from transgaming, which resulted in over 6GB of downloads last weekend.

Is there a prefix we can pass to configure to that it installs wine-git into a different location to where cedega installs it's version of wine?

Thanks

Suki

---

Wine and Cedega are kept 100% separate. You should not be having issues like that unless I missed something...

Is that beta driver AKA 100.14.23 ? Because if so, thats I installed at an insane hour this morning so thats good news and saves me messing with my xorg again ;)

Suki

---

Hi suki,

Beta driver version is 169.04, you can get it from links directly ^^,

Only click to you correct linux version (64bits or 32bits) ^^.

Any help you need, i can help you with this ^^

Success ^^,

Bye

I confirm: wine and cedega should have no effect on each other, different binaries in different locations, with a different "windows" folder.
It seems your ~/.wine and ~/.cedega directories are the same. Check if there's a linking between one and the other.
By the way, what's your linux distro?

PS: anyhow, why don't you just keep the installer file in some safe location instead of downloading it over and over again?

Yeah I understand that, but I installed a new driver this morning and it is reporting as 100.14.23 in Nvidia Settings (which is not listed on the NVidia Linux Drivers page) so I was wondering if the Beta driver is actually the same driver and just changes it's version number on install. What version is it reporting on your system under NVidia Settings?

---

100.14.23 is about a month older than the beta driver, so they shouldn't be the same ;)
beta releasedate: 16.11.07
stable releasedate: 18.10.07

I can't keep the installer file because I can't locate it. the cedega wrappers config client downloads a dat file that so far I have been unable to locate on my system either during the download or after the download, forcing me to download it again and again everytime I install the cedega client. If anyone knows where the .dat file is that cedega uses, then I would appreciate a heads up.

Take a look in /tmp/*/Eve*, should be hiding somewere in there.

OK I built wine on 64bit Ubuntu Gutsy today but when I try and install the Premium Content client I get a dialogue box saying it needs Admin access to install (a windows dialogue box).

I can't seem to get past this problem, has anyone tried to install the Premium Client as opposed to installing the classic client and then updating it with premium content?

If so, how did you get past this Admin access issue?

---

I installed both with wine - classic and premium, full installs no upgrades (was doing tests), and never experienced such issue.
This sound like wrong user/permission settings. Like the user who's running the install can't write in ~/.wine
...

I remember someone on this thread laughing away eve under vmware. The fact that does vmware is java doesn't mean the virtualization layer is coded in it (itt does have a large memory footprint, however). Also, check out this link:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF_CoXsXtk4

I think D3D under vmware is viable. I honestly think virtualization is the future, given increased memory and CPU speed. Obviously, this means reduced performance, but it beats spending months/years porting and/or developing wrappers which also doesn't eliminate long development cycles for each platform.

OK here is the first laugh at this ridiculous suggestion just to make you happy.

Playing -any- game in vmware which depends on hardware 3D acceleration is just not ever going to happen. VMWare does not have access to hardware acceleration, it makes a pretend graphics card which simulates the behaviour of a graphics card but it is unlikely to ever have better than software acceleration.

---

Suki, please be civil. Anyway, you seem to have a poor understanding of virtualization. Virtualization can allow direct access to hardware. This is possible with "thin" hypervisor layers on top of the hardware. This is only possible if the operating system supports it. In fact, software such as Parallels already implements this to enable paravirtualization on the mac, and VMWare with its ESX server. Windows is implementing paravirtualization for Windows Server. Another company, XenSource, already provides Windows Paravirtualized Drivers (http://docs.xensource.com/XenServer/4.0.1/guest/ch03s02.html), so it's not like its not in the mainstream. This is obviously only meant for server tasks. But in theory, an enterprising company can explore this route for speedy gaming.

As far as your point about VMWare, I'm only making the claim is that the trend is toward paravirt, and when that happens, many of the bigger workstation VM software, such as VMWare, and Parallels will implement it for linux. Intel is already moving in that direction (http://www.intel.com/technology/itj/2006/v10i3/2-io/1-abstract.htm).

Furthermore, why the hell should I pay Microsoft just to play a game that they have never even been involved with? It wreaks of extortion. I will not even run Windows in a virtual machine, I will not support a company which has been convicted on both sides of the atlantic for being a monopoly and I am not the only one.

---

That's your prerogative. I wasn't making a principled argument, I was only stating what's possible.

Got the same problem as Suki.

Compiled wine today. Although git updated after that with bunch of commits (including commits from Stefan), there may be a fix.

If fix isn't available... Who'll regress this issue? :P

I can, but only on Sunday.

Edit: got commit that broke UI.
