My system is a AMD Dual Core 4600+ 2GB ram with a Nvidia 6600 256MB. On windows I get 60-70fps with no AA. On cedega I get 20-40 fps also with no AA. On wine I get 5-20 fps... I play with all effects on in 1680x1050. Thanks could you try to get the values from the char selection screen? (via the CTRL+ALT+m window) this should deliver a more constant fps number could you try to start you kernel with the "nosmp" option to see if there is a problem with wine/Eve on dual cores? which version of gcc isn't working for wine? I'll tellya Elf, great work. As an fyi, I personally leave the smp kernel running, but use the taskset utility to run the game as EVE does have issues with dual cores. taskset 0x1 "commands here" Running that way, most of the graphics 3d stutter/freeze is gone, and the game generally behaves itself. --this is running via cedega, but I'm seeing similar issues running duplicate hardware via XP, and the taskset utility fixes the issue under linux, and setting affinity under XP.

Sevarus James Minmatar Meridian Dynamics Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.11.29 23:52:00 - [3] working here with .9.25 and Revelations. Running at 1900x1200, frame rate is bad, and the mouse issue is there, but at least I can now log in and do the corp stuff. Going to be testing the new wine release in a short bit. .9.26 is out. running the make on that now. Updated Linux Desktop+EVE+EVE-TV

Sevarus James Minmatar Meridian Dynamics Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.12.03 02:52:00 - [5] Originally by: Gwmngilfen Ok, so I got further - I guess there's a problem with 0.9.26. I compiled 0.9.25 and it runs fine (to the login screen anyway - it's downtime at the moment :P) More results later Gwm Don't think there is a problem with 9.26. I'm running that and had the client up and playing all night last night. Updated Linux Desktop+EVE+EVE-TV

I'm running that and had the client up and playing all night last night. Can you briefly list what you did, if it's not too much trouble? Did you have to install Nvidia's proprietary drivers (if you're using Nvidia anyway)? Thanks! First, of course I'm using the nvidia binaries. The open source versions will NOT be playable. I downloaded .9.26, extracted it in a directory, copied elf's diffs as per the OP's original post, patched 9.26 with it. Ran the make and then the install make. Ran the winecfg to set sound and video settings. (fullscreen or windowed mode). Copied my 'settings' folder from my transgaming version (to ensure that video rez and ingame window settings were what I wanted). The game plays, albeit with slower frame rate (by about 60% lower than cedega's implementation.), but it IS playable. Examples: in station: 40-60fps in space around station: 10-20fps around POS: 7-10fps belts: 8-15fps PVP fight around gate (7 vs 8+drones and wrecks): 5-15fps on average. As I said, its not 'fast', but it will work. CCP has also via their patch notes indicated that it was them that biffed up on the cedega issues, so that will be running (hopefully) after Tuesday. With wine progressing with speed toward playability, as well as CCP's vocal support for Transgaming, as well as the cider implementation for the client for MACs, we are in a position of wealth regarding choice rarely seen in the open source world regarding commercial gaming. I completely agree to NOT install this as root. Updated Linux Desktop+EVE+EVE-TV
Sevarus James Minmatar Meridian Dynamics Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2006.12.24 14:58:00 - [7] I see that wine 0.9.28 was released. mentions the following: Wine 0.9.28 was released today, with the following main changes: * OpenGL in child windows should work again. * Better mouse support in games. * Beginnings of new state management in Direct3D. * Improved audio and font support on Mac OS. * Lots of bug fixes. --------------- So anyone testing this version with EVE?

I've just installed Wine via Automatix (latest version) and now I'm d/l the Eve client. Please can you clarify the patch you mentioned? thx. EDIT** Ok, I installed Wine .28, and then got the latest EVE client, and ran sudo wine EVE_Setup_27912.exe Installed fine. Ran it like this: sudo wine ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/CCP/EVE/EVE.exe but it came up with a d3dx9_30.dll missing error. I downloaded that and copied it to the system32 folder in Wine, then ran winecfg and typed d3dx9_30.dll in the libriaries and ran the program again. It loaded up to the login page! Woot! Then Eve asked me to download the latest patch (3mb I think) and that worked fine. Then I reran Eve, but it wouldn't let me type in the text boxes--every time I tried to type in my name and pw, the text ended up in the terminal window. No sweat, I copy/pasted them into their appropriate boxes. Took a little while to acquire bulk data, then it ran! Only thing is that it only occupied about the bottom right hand 1/4 of the screen and I couldn't see any of the menus. I ended up having restart Ubuntu to get back to a normal desktop... So that's where i'm at right now. GL anyone else who tries :) As you asked about the patch, I'm guessing you haven't been following along now, have you? Wine is getting damn close to running EVE without any fixes, but not quite yet. Elfiger has been maintaining a patch which resolves most of the problems that wine has with eve, and you can find it here: Elfiger's wine diff patch Now fyi, you DO need to compile wine rather than a binary download, and the link from elfiger's site will point you to the wikki to explain the process. Its getting closer to 'install > run', but not yet. Updated Linux Desktop+EVE+EVE-TV
Sevarus James Minmatar Meridian Dynamics Namtz'aar k'in	Posted - 2007.01.10 06:03:00 - [9] Edited by: Sevarus James on 10/01/2007 06:00:56 Originally by: Rieger VaunBraun I have a fairly simple question for you Linux users. Is this something that someone who is new to Linux would be able to do? I am an experienced PC user but would be a complete Linux newbie. (running make files and using vi as a programmer doesn't count as Unix/Linux experience) I am getting tired of M$ and the silliness that is going on and would very much like to completely move to Linux. But I can't do without my EVE. I am not a fan of dual boots, and would rather go all in rather than sitting on the fence. I would just like to ask this before I end up with a semi functional system, a headache and simply have to go back to XP. Thanks in advance. Short answer= yes. Experienced user means (hopefully) you can follow written directions. As to linux itself, go download an ubuntu 6.10 or other distro iso, burn the disc and boot it in "live" mode. Play around with it. You will see how easy it actually is to use. For full mp3 dvd, and other functionality, there are several easy ways to get that running or installed. The user forums for these distros are VERY helpful with howto's for just about everything. (A new distro based on ubuntu called: Mint Linux has most of this functionality already in, and if you are looking for the ultimate in eye candy distros, the latest sabayon (gentoo based) is ready to roll. One thing to know: Nvidia is still the better gpu for linux based on drivers. ATI is catching up, but there are more problems with ati at this point than nvidia. There are two ways now to run EVE, one with normal wine (latest rev .9.28) which has been detailed in this thread, and the other is via cedega Transgaming . As with anything, make sure you take the time to read a bit about the distro you are interested in first. Also remember that if you have problems, we're here for ya, and if you have problems with the OS itself, IRC channels and the forums are a WEALTH of support and knowledge to get you on your way.

Sevarus James Minmatar Meridian Dynamics Eden's Fire	Posted - 2007.02.01 00:30:00 - [10] Originally by: Lorna Qorq Originally by: Arilni Today morning i made the update to revelation patch 1.3 .....now i cant put any char or symbol in the password field, even copy paste , the program work well but i cant login sigh. somone else experieced it? Sadly, I can confirm that this is indeed the case. Enabling trace suggests that wine gets the keystrokes alright, but the password field just won't accept them. Setting password in prefs.ini doesn't help either... Please see this post forArial fix Updated Linux Desktop+EVE+EVE-TV
