Guys, this is the best topic I ever read in a forum. Always wished to get EVE running on X, but nothing worked. Even tried the beta of VMWare Fusion after I cought up the video from the devs on youtube.
Already found the way to get DirectX 9 into the EVE-bottle, but I failed on configuring the bottle itself. But with the great hints posted here I made the thing work.
Outstanding mates, this is the best thing ever ... right after a real Mac client ;)
May the X be with you :)

Yes it works, but you have to run the bash script that re-creates the directory MachoNet. You can find it here
Enjoy !!
Mac OS X rocks ! Eve too ^

Oh no! It was working great for me, the instructions here were really helpful, but with the deployment of the new patch it won't pass the "Authenticating" stage anymore! What shall I do?

I did this on my own with my patched windows install, and it worked allowed me to login again under crossover.

I have followed the instructions and got it installed OK. Eve loads up to login screen.
However, after clicking connect, I get this error message about Connection Refused - thanks for the enthusiasm, please use just a single trial account at a time.
I tested on a nearby Windows machine that I can still logon. I can on Windows. Logged out. No problems.
Any hints?

Great news from Codeweavers (publisher of Crossover). See this thread for the official word: https://www.codeweavers.com/compatibility/browse/name/?app_id=1860;forum=1;msg=5044
It says: Wait for CrossOver 6.1. Should be out in the next week (no promises).
CrossOver 6.1 will install a full DirectX setup that includes all the files needed to run EVE Online.

Afaik the next version of CrossOver should be out very soon. But I don't know if they'll be able to fix the Audio, that DirectAnything stuff is very complicated. They usually keep their promises....

I just bought CrossOver Mac. Steam runs great already and I hope they can get more games up and running soon. Their support is great, eve nthough CrossOver OFFICE is not really game centred ;) "Life, don't talk to me about life." -Marvin the paranoid android |

same. I get beyond authentification and character selection.. but then the loading bar stops at 80% from entering game as..
encouraged by the plenty positive reports here i did the same twice for w2k and at last for xp bottle i copied fonts and d3d and ran the bash-script for machonet.

Got it!!!
I assume you're a Vivox-enabled user? Because my account is, and when I added "voiceenabled=0" to my prefs.ini file it started working perfectly!
Maybe get this thread stickied?

Edited by: Nyana on 15/05/2007 17:15:03 Edited by: Nyana on 15/05/2007 17:13:50 Whoa! Has anyone tried this with Crossover Mac 6.1 yet? I just did, after spending 99% of my computer-time in Windows XP... And it works VERY well compared to previous versions, at least so far.
Pros: - Nice framerate, 60+ in station and not too much lower than in Windows outside Jita 4-4 - NO graphics bugs as far as I could see (all portraits, ships & people looked perfect!) _ Need I say more? OK, I will: No registry editing (winecfg, etc) was required, at all - In response to the con below, changing to fullscreen was as simple as pressing escape and choosing fullscreen mode in the EVE options.
Cons: - The above is only true in fullscreen mode, in windowed mode there was an odd graphics bug where the last 20 pixels or so of everything was missing, and all tabs were invisible. It worked, but wasn't playable. - You still need to copy fonts & DLLs from windows; that part is very easy though. All you need is Arial*.ttf and d3dx*.dll, and put these in /Users/yourname/Application Support/CrossOver/bottles/xxxxx/drive_c/windows/system32 (phu, long path).
Long story short: 1) Create a new bottle, I chose a winxp one. 2) Go to the applicatons tab of the new bottle, click "install", locate EVE_Setup.exe, yada yada. Click next until EVE is installed. 3) Copy Arial*.ttf and D3Dx*.dll from the System32 dir on a Windows box into the above stated folder. 4) Play?
Oh, and I did this on a Macbook Pro, 2.16GHz Core 2 Duo, 2GB RAM, made sometime around October 2006 (I ordered before their release so it should be one of the first batches).
Edit: I think I managed to fool it into working just as well windowed. In addition to the steps above, insert this between step 3 and 4... 3.5) Go to "manage bottles" in Crossover, then the control panel tab, and run winecfg. In there, go to the Graphics tab, and check the "emulate virtual desktop" thingy near the bottom (I can't check atm). Set it to the resolution you want - I chose 1280x800, since that is the size I want EVE to run at (my screen is 1440x900). 4) See step 4 above.
Edit: Oh, I forgot. To run windowed as stated above, EVE still needs to be set to fullscreen. EVE still THINKS it's running in full screen mode, but Crossover is taking care of the rest to make it a window.

Yes they have delivered ! EVE is really running great (except for no sound still) with me, even on my slow MacBook. I have another "fix" for the windowed thing though, just set it to windowed and then back to Fullscreen. That makes my EVE think it is Fullscreen, but it is not and Expose etc. work great. Oh and I didn't have to copy any .dlls. EVE should install without the need for manual copying, as it is a supported application now. But I had the standard fonts installed before for Steam, maybe that's why. Anyway, I won't install Windows ever again ;)

Anyway, we should pop some bottles of Quafe and celebrate the Macification of Eve :) Would be nice to setup a Mac help channel (or is there one already): 1st question, How do you get it to work in windowed mode?

I followed the default installation proceedure for EVE through Crossover, and the performance on my MacBook is too slow to be usable. I noticed however that EVE seems to think I have some sort of 3D accelerator, when clearly I do not. This has resulted in a higher level of object detail than I get when running it in Windows natively, ironically, but at the cost of a good deal of frameskipping. Are there graphics settings you had to tweak with the WINE library?
This is my configuration: MacBook CoreDuo 2.0 ghz / 2 GB RAM / 100 GB HDD / Intel GMA 950m

Probably because you are using the integrated video by Intel instead of a graphics card as in the MacBook Pros.
Try switching to lower pixel depth (16 bits etc) and switch OFF the audio (even though Crossover doesn't support audio) and switch ON the LOD (under graphics) setting.
You'll probably want to play around with the Z Buffer settings and switch to something lower for your MB.

Oh, I am sorry that was a bit misleading. By "running great" I meant that there were no major bugs besides the lack of sound. The framerate is pretty bad, but I think it's very playable, except for some ships/structures that seem to slow it down a great deal. But I just look the other way then. What objects cause this is pretty strange though. First I thought only very big structures like wreckage/stations on some missions, but then I saw a mining barge and the framerate dropped immidiatly as well. Strange. Well, at the moment it runs good enough for me, with the sound off and all effects except for the turrets off (can't remember the keyboard shortcut for that, I'm sorry, maybe someone else knows).
