The WINE set-up has been excellent so far, thank you.

Just a note: today, after logging on after downtime, I have experienced a very odd graphical glitch. When travelling through a gate, the screen is taken over by a full-screen advert for Citadels and Project Discovery. This locks the screen, with no inputs recognised, not even ESC. The first couple of times it went away after a minute or so. I rebooted, but the next jump triggered the same. The third time after reboot, the adverts continued into a Gurista event ad, and I had to terminate with Force Quit.

In addition, after the first hijack, all my UI windows (overview, d-scan etc) went to a black, opaque background and no transparency. Unpinning them brought back the usual colour, but pinning them caused them to go back to black background after a few moments.

I run the client in WINE on a recent 5k iMac. Hope this is useful. (May need to download a Gal-Net Ad-Blocker )

As of today, the WINE wrapper stopped working for me. It used to first launch Xquartz, and then start EVE clients inside of that. Now it doesn't launch Xquartz, and nothing happens on clicking the play button. Activity monitor shows a wine server and 4 wine processes starting up, and then closing after a minute or two (after which the 'play' button in the launcher reverts from its 'stop' icon back to its 'play' icon.)

Anyone else having troubles?

I'm using OSX 10.9 yes. Using the 1.8.1 WINE version appears to work.

Ok so at the risk of sounding irritatingly stupid I tried to follow the instructions to turn on the WINE wrapper in the eve client.
Short answer : There is NO such option available in the preferences section of my EVE client.
I am running client at version : 2.2.999545.
I see no option to update the client, I assume that the client will auto download its updates.
Any help guys ?

I decided to be bold and venture out with Wine again... It literally crashed within 2-3 minutes of the session, and when I returned to the launcher it was downloading about 600-700 Wine files (there was no indication prior that anything was amiss). A few observations:
GÇó Graphical anomalies (pixelation) with engine exhausts are not present in Wine with a high shader setting
GÇó Graphical anomalies (pixelation) with gate or other cloaks are still present in Wine with a high shader setting

When I attempted to launch a new session, the Overview had completely disappeared and the number of red errors spooled past 18,000 before I force quit it. I was also getting a faint split line down the center of the screen with one half slightly darker than the other.
GÇó "err:d3d:resource_init Out of adapter memory"

Third time's the charm... right? Nope. Warping to an asteroid belt I experienced intermittent flashes between the normal nebula and a completely white background. When I tried to access the menu the screen darkened but it wasn't present. The number of red errors spiralled past 389 with this single gem:
GÇó Tr2Sprite2dScene::EndCapture failed (-2005532292) to create vertex buffer for 6624 vertices (512 KiB)

On the plus side, the asteroid scenes (when not flashing white) have never been prettier. I don't think I was ever completely getting the effects from Asteroid Environments and Light Rays. What the heck, might as well go for broke and enable HRD. Looks absolutely fantastic - just as long as you don't mind the lack of clipping which renders the asteroids, environment and sun over your ship.

When it's not crashing EVE really does look noticeably better under Wine. Fingers crossed...

CCP Snorlax, is there a way to purge the existing Wine setup and redownload it again? I'm not sure that would make any difference at this point, but I'm trying to rule everything out. Thanks.

I will give this a try and resume testing... Out of curiosity, in the SharedCache folder there are several files and folders. Can any of these be deleted? (assuming some are just archived/out-of-date?)

CCP Snorlax - just wanted to say thanks for all your efforts (they're greatly appreciated).
After running for well over an hour without so much as a hitch - consider me officially converted and drinking the Wine!

Does the IGB work in Wine? For me it still crashes 80-90% of the time.

I tried Wine. It crashed even before the client started up. Twice. So I went back to cider. :-(
