I can confirm that, same issue here with latest Arch / wine: 1.7.10.

Can someone please confirm this is the patch for TODAY 04/01/14, after downtime ( As in within the last hour) and all was well before hand?

Anyone with

Can output any logs or anything that will help someone smarter then me see what's going down here :P

No idea what I have that is different - still fine after todays patch.

Mint 16 - works good on both MATE and Cinnamon.
Latest NVIDIA stable driver (9600 GT Overclocked)
Kernel 3.11.0-12-generic
8 core AMD @ 3.6 GHZ system
16GB RAM
WINE 1.7.11

no idea what I have that is different. Testing on laptop now.

Mint 16
Nvidia
wine 1.7.11

got the same problems as described above

Could you tell the exact driver version please? I get it with
grep -i "x driver" /var/log/Xorg.0.log
in Ubuntu, but not sure if its the same in Mint...



Could you please also tell the driver version, so that we can compare to above?

can you paste your D3D settings from your "user.reg" file in your wine directory? Something like this:

[Software\\Wine\\Direct3D] 1391517517
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo"
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"VertexShaderMode"="hardware"

thx

If I start EVE without the optirun on my laptop, I don't see the flashing, and the neocon works fine.

Nvidia 338.31

I just searched around a bit and I believe the name isnt "338.31" but "331.38" thats being the newest driver from january the 13. I'll see if I'm able to install it...

Just checking one thing. Do we have a mix of dualscreen users and single monitor users, or are we all using dualscreen?

I still have client crashes and on the top of that whole graphic is messed up (graphic is just jumping, flashing lines across whole screen, ...)

Win XP, DirectX9
ATI Radeon 3200

Oh, windows users have issues too? Having the dualboot option to Win7, I'll try it too. Reporting soon.

Fixed a driver crash on AMD video cards.
Fixed a memory leak on Nvidia cards.

This was in the patch notes today:

Seen a Windows User with the same issue: Flickering UI Assets

Do any devs pay attention to these threads? Where do we file bug reports?

Linux isn't an officially supported OS. You could petition a GM but I doubt they'd do anything other than tell you to run Windows or OS X. :(

Another (unrelated) problem for me is that wine 1.7.11 crashes when I change the resolution or window-mode of the client.

Is it worth updating to the beta versions i.e. 1.7 to try and fix? I have had trouble with the beta releases before tbh.

I have a similar issue, although I don't need to actually change any settings to make it crash, just going to the Graphics tab in the game Menu locks up the client.

Same problem here. I can also confirm that Singularity has no flickering as of this posting.

System: latest Arch
Wine: 1.7.10
Kernel: 3.12.9-1-ARCH
Drivers: nvidia 331.38-2
Other: playonlinux 4.2.2-2

For those that can't change their Interval Immediate/One/Two/Three aka VSync/Triple-buffering option via the game without Wine failing, know that it's stored in the following EVE setting file:

/home/user/.wine/drive_c/users/user/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/c_program_files_eve_tranquility/settings/core_public__.yaml

...
Also you can change the shader, postprocessing and LoD settings within the larger device block without it failing too (as those do for me via ingame menu atm iirc). Fairly obvious variable names, change the end value only. Values 0-3 in most cases, simple mapping between ingame options and increased quality.

... It's sort of like instrument flying. ...

Ditto, flickering as well with:
Debian wheezy
Wine 1.5.31 (no problems until this patch)
Nvidia 8800GT

Same here.

Debian Wheezy
Wine 1.4.1 (no problems until this patch)
Nvidia 8600GT

Same here:

Nvidia GTX670 - 319.82
i7 3770
16Gb ram

Xubuntu 13.10
wine 1.7.11

for Empire could be usable despite the flickering.
for nullsec is a suicide.

I was forced to boot up Windows today. I will remember this day.

Windows 7, GeForce 250 GTS. I've managed to run eve successfully ONCE since this morning's patch. Every other time, starting in character selection, my whole screen - not just the client - starts to flicker. If I don't try to log in, and try to close the program swiftly, I just get a display driver crash. If I try to log in, I bluescreen and reboot - again, with that solitary exception.

Thanks for reporting this. Is your driver is somewhat up-to-date and are you using dx9 or dx11 for EVE?

Updated my driver after the first 2 crashes. I have not changed my DX version. How might I try using DX9 instead?

Launcher, cogwheel icon up-right corner, and there should be a tab named directx or something.

Ah! Understood. I only use the launcher to update my client. Will try that.

I know this doesn't help but, thanks for posting here because it's good to know the problem isn't restricted to Linux.

Has ANYONE heard anything from CCP about this issue? They seem oddly quiet.

There is a whole 14 page thread on the original issue that led to this patch, which broke wine and doesn't seem to have fixed the original issue for some (most?) windows user who are seeing it.

https://forums.eveonline.com/default.aspx?g=posts&t=316276

Just to make this thread a 'lil bit longer:

Confirmed.

But because CCP does not support linux we should brace ourselves to install some random Windows (and we all have something like that laying around - be honest).
But meh. That's what I pay three Accs for? Not one guy smart enough to test this **** thoroughly before it deploys? How hard can it be to fire up a wine and just test a quite hard shift in the graphics engine like that? And since even Windows users are experiencing the same problem: They will not give a rat's arse. For solutions turn to WineHQ.

But keep on complaining - maybe we'll get a "supported client" - again. If they believe they'll lose to much subscriptions.

Having an "official" transgaming client will change nothing.. Look at the Mac one... it's as broken as the other client.

Note, still no problem on my side.... Try to find what different on my setup.

Radeon 7970
wine-1.7.10-337-ga632585 (contain D3D CS patchset but it's set to disabled in the regedit.)
Kernel 3.13+reiser4+gcc optimisation
Xorg server 1.15
AMD Catalyst 14.1

I think this comment pretty much explains why we don't have our own client.

I for one will not be installing any Windows OS. It's bad enough we have to use wine.

Agreed. If a fix does not come out for this I will be unsubbing all of my accounts.

Just another Fedora user affected and guess doesn't make much sense to post another specification. I think this issue shows quite clearly why multi-platform projects are having clear benefits as an issue on one system might occur rarely or hidden on another. Windows users then wondering for random crashs. There are quite some linux users in this thread... another three acounts here and CCP is seriously not able to put at least a single guy out there having a wine running with at least the latest specifications and giving it before release a shoot? I can understand if there are issue that occur somewhere hidden, but in the login screen and all over disco lights after that shall be quite easy to catch. If we are not getting a native client, then please give us at least some most basic support...

You cannot expect them to test every patch in Wine.
You can't even expect to even be able to run the game in Wine.

The fact that devs actually made a Linux forum and are watching it tells a lot about CCP. Not a lot of devs do this.

They will fix the issue, just be patient.
