Megilos	Posted - 2006.12.29 23:27:00 - [91] Heh. Ok, I got excited when a poster somewhere (maybe here) said he got it to run just like you said. I've been trying this for a while now, from Wine .26. I've also been following so many posts on many different forums that it's becoming hard to remember which I've replied to and where lol. I'll try that later tonight, thanks.
Merende Macaco	Posted - 2006.12.31 18:02:00 - [92] My experiences, wine 0.9.28, elf* patch, Slack 11, hand rolled 2.6.18 kernel. Installation, no issues, though I forgot to copy the manifest file along with the others in the Micr$* dir and got some C runtime errors first time through. Started EVE,Downloaded patch, restarted, hung on loading. Restarted X, got to login, started character creation (I be a total newb). Crashes at screen where character is to be named (noticed the alpha error message from elfe* patch). Created char on laptop with XP, today logged on from linux. Some sound issues, and there's definitely a memory leak as it started thrashing after about 4 hours. But it seems to be working, framerates are so-so (but better than the laptop I used to do the tutorial from) Thanks again to everyone who posted in this thread. I expect as wine improves its DX9 support, will only get better. Now if I can only find some easy rats to kill now that I'm out of the newb ship.
Rieger VaunBraun Crazy Canucks	Posted - 2007.01.09 21:39:00 - [93] I have a fairly simple question for you Linux users. Is this something that someone who is new to Linux would be able to do? I am an experienced PC user but would be a complete Linux newbie. (running make files and using vi as a programmer doesn't count as Unix/Linux experience) I am getting tired of M$ 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.

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.

SelanirO	Posted - 2007.01.21 18:08:00 - [95] Hello there, I used this method on different wine versions and I got them to work with elfes patches. One thing keeps bugging me though. As soon as I press escape to change some settings or exit the game my machine locks completely. I wanted to fiddle with settings abit in hope of gaining some fps but this prevents me. Currently I'm running the cvs wine with latest elfes patch. I tried using cedega and there it all works. However fps in space is worse in cedega. I bet this is due to my ati card. From everything I read on cedega forums they are not keen on ati support due to ati's bad linux driver support. Most people who manage to run it well are on nvidia. So my question is if someone had this lockup issue with wine and if they were able to fix it. I'm on ubuntu 6.10 with latest ati drivers (8.32.5) currently cvs wine from 19 jan Thanks in advance, SelanirO
Arilni	Posted - 2007.01.30 23:19:00 - [96] well i had EVE runnig very well also via cedega and wine...... until now. 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? any suggestion?

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...

The music plays tho and I can see the Eve mouse under my mouse. I installed it on cedega/ubuntu64 this afternoon and got the black box with cpu running at 100%. Hoping to get it working I installed ubuntu 32bit version...same black box Has anyone got an clue how to solve this problem? I installed the nvidia driver with 'envy' and glxgears gives me about 10000fps which should indicate that the nvidia driver works correctly. My Specs: EN7600GT/M2N-E/AMD64 X2 3800+

Dr Shameless Skull Soft The Sundering	Posted - 2007.02.15 12:43:00 - [102] Edited by: Dr Shameless on 15/02/2007 12:40:51 i was trying it out on cedega with ubuntu but the performance was poor. On windows i can run two EVE clients and something else at the same time without performace issues but on linux its so slow even with one client, in serious npc combat its 5-15fps - hardly useable. And this is on a new dual core machine with latest nvidia driver. You can push the graphical quality slider on nv control panel to lower setting, it gets a bit faster but then you get a lot of graphical glitches. I thought that ill keep dual boot with windows just for eve, but since eve runs whenever the pc is on its not worth it. For now ill keep windows just because of eve.
Pyrius Omega	Posted - 2007.04.21 18:17:00 - [103] Hi, Currently installing ubuntu 7.04 and have created 4 partitions on a 250gig drive. I have 4 partitions: Linux, swap, ntfs, and ext3. I have a few questions: 1) How does one install eve on a linux system? I've never done this before. and 2) if it is not possible, do I have to copy the game from my windows xp system to the new linux harddrive? any help is appreciated and i'll have a few questions coming soon.

If you are using the i386 version of Feisy you can use the howto in this post. You can skip the Nvidia driver instalation steps and use the restricted drivers manager to install it. You can't run eve directly in Linux, you need to run it usin either Wine or Cedega. Both programs provide support for the windows libraries that eve need to run. If you are using a 64 bit distro you can either try to compile wine from source (there is a page in winehq eplaining how to do it) or set up a 32 chroot bit and run wine with "dchroot -d wine" (just google "wine chroot amd64"). I am currently using the second method in Ubuntu Feisty amd64 (32 bit chroot instalation) and works great.

Maybe you need to play with your DRI settings in the xorg.conf file. Heard that it helps a lot.
Cihl	Posted - 2007.05.01 23:13:00 - [106] I've managed to get EVE working under Ubuntu Feisty Fawn with Wine 0.9.36. No compiles or anything. Had to copy arial.ttf over, that's all. I've noticed that if you use Beryl, the Gnome bars show up over the fullscreen window. That's easily fixed by using the Beryl icon menu to change the window manager to Metacity. You won't need that 3D desktop while you're playing EVE fullscreen anyway.

Is this why I cant type into the password field. how do you move the ttf to get this to work. I used this Ubuntu with Wine step thru. Only 15 minutes
Doctor Ghandi	Posted - 2007.05.05 09:33:00 - [108] Originally by: Dencal Copperhead This takes a short while, as apt-get is downloading the source code. A directory "wine-0.9.24~winehq0~ubuntu~6.10" should appear. Copy "eve-2006-10-20.diff" into it. Change into the directory and run the following command: "patch -p1 < eve-2006-10-20.diff" This applies Elfe`s Awesome Wine Patch (TM) to the wine source code. Without it, if you try to start eve, you will get only a black box in the middle of the screen. OYE!!! I made a tiny mistake when following your instructions. I did everything like you said except one thing. You see when I re read the instructions after getting that black box you talked about I read about the black box... Anywho...It wont patch all the way... patching file dlls/d3d9/d3d9_private.h Hunk #1 succeeded at 209 with fuzz 2 (offset 30 lines). patching file dlls/d3d9/device.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 74 with fuzz 1 (offset 10 lines). Hunk #2 FAILED at 778. 1 out of 2 hunks FAILED -- saving rejects to file dlls/d3d9/device.c.rej patching file dlls/d3d9/vertexdeclaration.c Hunk #1 succeeded at 378 with fuzz 2 (offset 20 lines). Anyway...I was wondering if anyone knew a way to fix this...I dont care if its a complete reinstall of wine LOL... I just want it to work and I need someone to go through it step by step. Me=Noob Thanks in advance!
ElfeGER Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.05 10:47:00 - [109] why are you trying Eve with wine and a patch from 2006? just use 0.9.36 and play
Doctor Ghandi	Posted - 2007.05.06 02:30:00 - [110] Edited by: Doctor Ghandi on 06/05/2007 02:26:37 Im not...that was just a quote...I think I figured it out anyway ...Ill let ya know.
Doctor Ghandi	Posted - 2007.05.06 20:11:00 - [111] I installed everything agian and it all worked properly. One problem...Before I get into that, I double checked everything and there were no errors or "permission denied" messages. Im getting a black box after the splash screen disapears. I got an error that said something about not having 3dx. I need help. It popped up in a windows style error box and told me that my programs might not work lol. It was right on the money. Apparently I need something extra for wine?
ElfeGER Black Nova Corp Band of Brothers	Posted - 2007.05.07 00:12:00 - [112] check http://appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=7342 d3dx error = need to run bin/Redist*.exe black box = missing arial.ttf

I downloaded it and coppied it into the proper folder. ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts Right? Anyway - install the d3d9x_30.dll by running the RedistD3DXOnly.exe in the bin dir I did that too. It still gives me a problem...should I try to download the dll manually and put it somewhere?
