Press release from Cedega:
Cedega 5.1.1 Released
Issued on Tuesday March 14, 2006
Available as of March 14, 2006 Cedega 5.1.1 brings a bundle of fixes to users. In World of Warcraft«, server messages will now be visible thanks to a patch submitted by Brian G. A number of fixes providing greater stability in EVE-Online« means it no longer crashes going to the menus. New installations of Star Wars GalaxiesÖ will once again startup correctly. This and more are now available in TransGaming's latest release.
Read the full Release Notes to find out everything that Cedega 5.1.1 contains.
Get Cedega 5.1.1 now and let the games begin!
--------------------------------------------------------------
I've been testing this for the last couple hours, and................IT WORKS! It seems very stable at this point, and FINALLY the menus are working, the minnie gates and stations ARE NOT CRASHING the game. My fps has been VERY comparable to the windows side even in 60+ player systems.
This isn't to start a windows vs. linux thing, its just information that will help those who want it.
I'm sitting here with a big grin, feels like someone just gave me the perfect christmas present!

have they fixed all the graphical glitches with the fonts and stuff?
when i tried it, i couldn't read anything cause all the fonts were ****** up. Plus, both gentoo & ubuntu seem to hate my graphics card for some reason.
no skills, just luck.

I'm running ubuntu 5.10 and took the DEFAULT settings for the new version, and it looked clean as a whistle to me. I am using an nvidia card. will be testing ATI and a laptop for updating tech forum below later this evening.
The fact that minmatar gates/stations and such no longer are crashing means that people behind the scenes really changed up some stuff. Its working without issues at the moment. 3 days off coming up, so I'll be able to really hammer on it.

It isn't about switching the linux flavor  It's about the readjustment of your settings, possible your kernel modules. Better to find out why escape is breaking than hoping another GUI in a similar linux kernel will fix it.

Just make sure to change the EVE 'properties' to use 5.1.1
I too had that problem after the upgrade, as Cedega allows different version of winex to be used. After changing the eve icon to use the 5.1.1, it worked.

and i do have several machines that will run eve under linux, and i was merely taking a short route to see if there was a difference in behaviour between them as it has been in the past with other versions of Cedega.
and either way i was going to have to install the new version on those machines also

update It Kinda works I give it a 70%
1 FPS in windowed mode blows big time but only a small fps drop in fullscreen mode compared to my windows machine.
2 dont press ESC you crash
3 cant change between fullscreen and windowed mode wihle in game, but you can at the character selection screen.
4 some protraits dont render properly
5 mouse flickers occasionally.
This leaves me very hopeful that in a few versions cedega will have eve running 100%
PS the memory leak doesnt appear to be effecting my linux machine

Are you SURE you got 5.1.1? the 5.1 had the 'escape' crash. 5.1.1 fixes all of that.
Just curious, as I'm not having any escape key crashes whatsoever, and other than choppy fps in windowed mode, not seeing those issues now.

I wouldnt want to pvp with a non windows installation for safety reasons, but its good if we can go away from windows, especially internet cafe's who pay a lot for Windows lisences.

It makes me chuckle each time I see someone saying that they will leave windows for good because of program X is now on linux.
I still belive that linux is good for lowcost and lowend server enviroment but it will NEVER be a good replacement for joe-avarages desktop os.

wow, I still cant find out why everybody got eve-online running under cedega :( I tried it myself under cedega 5.1 and it wasnt working. I am wondering what am I doing wrong ;(
Ran cedega, launched installation of eve online, it took something about 2 hours to complete and then the launch of the game exe through their "new integrated point2play" thingy only resolved into system hung up after splash screen. I know there can by something wrong with the system :( but I dunno what.
I am using Gentoo with 2.6.15-nitro3 kernel. Ati drivers, the newest stable I think (not sure atm cause dunno if I am not using testing version cause havent been in my linux box for a while thanks to eve :/) All tests in cedega are green so even 3D support works correctly.
My system configuration (AMD 2000+, 512MB ram, ati radeon 9500 pro)
Can anyone tell me what am I doing wrong? Thanks

Very interested in this... but, while I can work my way around a linux box DECENTLY, i don't trust myself to wipe my winblows box and try linux for eve...

Best place for good info/start would be down in the tech forum. I didn't start this thread as a 'how-to', rather a pointer for those interested. If you put up a question down in tech forum under the linux thread we have, I'd be happy to give you a hand.

Your sig sayeth it all methinks. (clueless) I HAVE left windows for everything. I run linux (ubuntu 5.10 to be specific) on my laptop and my primary machines. I have no reason to run windows at all.
If this proves stable during my next three 'playing' days, then I will have no need for that small windows partition set up specifically for EVE.
Finally, and AGAIN, this thread isn't about starting a war, its just INFO for those of us who DO want to use the product. kthxbye.

I'm not being facecious, so bear with me, but why on earth would running on a non-windows platform be a 'safety' issue in pvp?

In fairness, average-joe will be running office, a browser and a few games.
Linux will run openoffice, a multitude of browsers and a few games (throught cedega, granted...)
Most of the latest distros are slick enough that average-joe won't need to ever touch the console, and similar enough to Windows/OSX from an ergonomics point of view to avoid confusing idiots.

Your comment is ironic, as the best thing Linux does is work as an "average joe machine", as a good distro can be installed and setup without any knowledge of Linux whatsoever, and will never crash most likely.

There have been initiatives to change the ability of average-joe to use Linux as a desktop, and while I find them quite interesting, I still don't feel they're quite there yet. I'm confident it will happen, the initiatives will become more coherent and consistent.
Incidentally, I think their best way to succeed is imitate Windows as much as they can (the good parts of course) because that way the transition from Windows becomes more feasible. See Lindows for example (Which btw are partnering with Transgaming for a smoother Cedega experience and game download/installation process).
