I am very excited about this so I tried to get it to run.
I have been wanting to switch to Linux from Windows and only eve was keeping me from that so yesterday I installed the latest Linux Mint with Cinnamon on my machine after verifying the launcher and client worked just fine on my Manjaro VM (very slow though).
After a clean install of Mint the launcher starts up but when i click "play" it changes the triangle next to my account to a square and the statusbar is doing its animation, but it never actually launches the client. After a while the square turns back into a triangle and it is like I never pressed the "play" button.
I have a feeling that I am missing something.
I am running on an i5 with a AMD radeon r9.
I tried installing the latest drivers by AMD but the installer says it is incompatible to my version of X. The driver I tried comes from here:
http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/linux
Mint comes with a different version of the same driver, which I have installed.
Thanks for any help! |

By default the launcher uses a local installation of Wine on your computer, you need all libraries for the game to run. I encountered the same problem as you to begin with.
On Arch Linux i ensured that everything was installed with this command.
sudo pacman -S $(expac "%n %o" -S wine) wine_gecko wine-mono
Which just means install Wine with all optional dependencies and then wine gecko and mono packages locally.
The optional dependencies that might have done the trick, though i did not check: lib32-libldap, lib32-libpulse, lib32-mpg123.

Thanks a lot, I just did a 'apt-get install wine' and it works.
However, when I go to the display settings it only shows a single screen even through I have two screens attached to my Radeon.
It also says that the graphics card is an ATI Radion 5600 series but its actually an R9.
What do I need to do to multibox? |

I am having trouble getting two clients on two screens to work. The only thing I managed to do was to set the second client to "windowed" instead of "Fixed Window" and then dragging that client to the other screen.
When I then switch to "Fixed Window" it works but only until I click the "Close Window" button which will then move the client over to the main screen.
Under Windows I can simply select the Display Adapter on which to display the client (It shows two) and it will automatically switch to that display. In Linux it only shows one adapter.
I read that there are wine command line parameters that you can pass to set a client to a certain screen but since the launching of the client is handled by the launcher I don't know how to accomplish that.
Any advice? |

I multibox with this launcher nicely, pretty much the same as with the Windows launcher under Wine or on Windows. What problem are you having?
The problem is not launching them, that works fine. The problem is getting them to display in "Fixed Window" mode on two different screens at the same time.
Only the client for the main screen will display correctly in fixed window mode. Whenever I try to get the second client to use fixed window mode on the second screen it will automatically move to the primary screen. The only way I can get the second client to stay on the secondary screen is to keep it in windowed mode, which means, that I have a title bar and a task bar stealing screen space.
Another, actually more problematic issue is that the control-key seems to get stuck a lot. This leads me to disabling my hardeners instead of activating my weapons. I don't know if this is also related to the control key getting stuck, but I can also often not get the settings menu when pressing the "Esc" button. I then have to alt+tab into a non-eve window and come back to eve to get it to work.
Also I can't paste anything in the IGB via ctrl+c, I have to use the right mouse click menu.
I am using XFCE on a fresh Manjaro install. With am ATI Radeon R9. |

I used fixed window mode and clients always open on the primary, which is where the launcher is; this is what I want probably two thirds of the time, so I have not tried to change it. I'm also using XFCE, and I use alt+drag to move the borderless, fixed-window-mode clients around as needed. Changing settings in the escape menu when the client is on a non-primary monitor sometimes moves them to the primary when I close the menu. I move the window back when that happens, and, while annoying, I probably won't be editing settings often enough to worry about it.
I set the window size (for fixed window mode) by editing core_public__.yaml, as I said earlier, because of similar difficulties. Have you tried selecting fixed window mode in the client, getting the window resolution you want, and then moving the window to where you want it? Does that work for you?
I had done something similar to fix this. Instead of doing the alt+drag I had a script associated with the "windows key + right key" hotkey that would move the window to the next screen. This worked fine. Now the only problem is the control key getting stuck and some other weird key behavior. |
