Thanks, Snorlax, for getting this out there. Here's my setup:
gentoo Linux using the FVWM DE, nVidia GTX580 that *was* running whatever the latest wine was, and also the latest Qt. Gentoo is a rolling-release distro, and everything installed is pretty much the latest dev release.
Launcher loaded fine, launched EVE fine. Re-loading all the assets slowed everything down (the opening movie kept freezing, until eventually I just gave up and skipped it. Is there a way to pre-load that before the client launches? Like, a "preload movie and watch before client launch" button?)
Aside from that, it seems to work fine (minus the annoyance of having to re-load all my client settings, load a tab profile, etc.)
Awesome works. Many thanks.

According to Eve Updates, a recent release iterated the gas cloud assets using effects that depend on DX11. Since the Linux client is DX9 only, this may be why they disappeared (though, that entry said clouds would still render using the old model for DX9 clients).
But fear not. Another dev blog somewhere said they were phasing out DX9 entirely at some point soon, and I very much doubt they'd do so before having a solution in place for the Wine client (which both Mac and Linux users now use). I read some rumors from last year that CodeWeavers (who sell a Wine fork) was developing DX11 support, and that it should trickle down into Wine proper SoonGäó. |

Thanks a ton for this tip. I was having the same problem; this fixed it. Nice to see other gentoo users on EVE.
Cheers,

I just tried logging into SiSi. I get to character selection, but it only shows one of my characters (with no portrait), and when I click on it, nothing happens. I was going to try to take part in the mass test happening in about half an hour, but it won't finish the log-in process.
Anybody else get the launcher to work on SiSi? Is there something I need to do?
Cheers,

My Linux client is still running OK, so my question is more a general one for information purposes: since DX9 is being phased out, I'm assuming that its retirement probably won't happen before DX11 support is stable in wine (at least in the EVE version of it). But I've heard some good things about progress on DX11 in recent wine versions. Is there any information on how close (feature-wise, not necessarily time-wise) we are to having DX11 working for EVE?
I'm *dying* to see all the lovely lighting effects the art team has been producing, so any information you have would bring joy.
The launcher itself is excellent work, btw: thanks for your dedication to the Linux community, snorlax! |

Dumb question: is there a way to set where the launcher puts its wine binaries? I have a dedicated SSD for EVE where the launcher is installed, but there is also the directory ~/.eve, containing almost 9GB of files. I'd like to move this over to the EVE drive as well. Is there a way to do this?
