That was a good and long read! Kudos for explaining every single thing.   I'll test that during the day, I have a client's youtube upload to manage and he has over 16 go of files to upload, I'll be around for a while! |

Another tip, that can be used for lots of thing, is that you can create a Shortcut on your desktop that will run that "launch game" command.
Creating a desktop shortcut for launch
1. Create a "launcher.command" text file using TextEdit app on your desktop and paste in the command to launch the game.
wine .wine/drive_c/EVE/eve.exe
2. If you try running it, it will give you an error telling you "The file could not be executed because you do not have appropriate access privilege". That is normal behavior for any unknown .command file. To fix this, go into terminal, browse for your "launcher.command" file :
cd Desktop
then set the proper privilege to it using that command :
chmod +x launcher.command
3. You can now "clean" your shortcut to make it look better.
Right-click on your "launcher.command" file and go into "Get info".
From there, you can "Hide extension", rename it to "EVE Online" and even change its icon.
To change the icon or your shortcut, do "Get Info" on your classic Mac Launcher (you did keep it, right?) and drag the icon (from the Preview dock) above that uglier "white page with terminal on top"-icon inside that "Get Info" window from your shortcut (or you can also click on any icon in your Finder, copy it (CMD+C), click back on your uglier icon in the "Get Info window" and paste it (CMD+V).

I'm currently testing EFT inside that wine install. So far, the software seems to be running but I'm still testing it.
Just download EFT (current version is 2.33) and unzip the folder. You should end up with a folder named "EFT2.33".
Navigate to your .wine folder. To find this .wine folder in your Finder, navigate into the "Go" menu (Finder must be selected app), and select "Go to folder..." (or press CMD+SHIFT+G from Finder). Type "~/.wine" and Enter.
Then copy the EFTx.yz (x.yz are the version number, currently 2.33) inside your .wine/drive_c folder.
You can now run EFT using a similar command, in the current case:
wine .wine/drive_c/EFT2.33/EFT.exe |

Same here, I used to use PlayOnMac, but after a crash, the network connection stopped working so I couldn't rely on that anymore. I had to find another solution to allow me to play without all those "Assertion Failed Crash"...
I know not Pyfa, I'll look it up. But I found EFT to be most commonly used, even though the stats are not always precise... |

Thanks! I had found the solution on my phone, while not sleeping in bed. By the time I got back up and posted about that here, you posted the same solution while I was also typing xD
Thanks for the help and taking the time to reply. |

Yet again, as of today, the launcher works, but fails to launch the game. It tries, you get the green loading bar, then it goes back to "scrolling blue" and will not launch...
I haven't seen anything on the forum as of now about that issue, perhaps someone is more informed and can help me fix this? |
