Hi,
Let me just start off by letting you all know that I'm no Linux "wiz", I set up some Gentoo server's a while back and thats basically it. It still only took me about 45 minutes to get Ubuntu, Cedega and EVE up and running. What I've been doing on and off the past few days is collect information about what seem to be the most common problems when running EVE on Linux.
This is of course only to get the ball rolling, I know there was another thread but a lot of the info in it is now out of date.
Cedega
Cedega EVE-Online Forums.
IÆm getting very bad fps.
Make sure your display drivers are fully up to date. Try running the client in fullscreen mode, in most cases you get better fps that way.
IÆm missing fonts from missions and chat windows.
Try disabling the ôVirtex Shadersö
1. Right click the EVE icon in Cedega, choose ôEdit Propertiesö 2. Select ôEdit Settingsö in the Advanced Settings Overrides section 3. In the ôgraphicsö tab, deselect the ôVirtex Shadersö option.
Black screen, unable to type in the password field.
Most likely due to Cedega not being up to date. To force update Cedega select TransGaming -> Check for updates from the file menu. Make sure you select all the options available and click ôOKö. (If Cedega hangs on update and you're running Ubuntu, it's probably due to the bash/dash Cedega issue, see the known issues.)
I still canÆt type anything in the password field.
Make sure ariel.ttf is in the windows/fonts directory in Cedega.
When I click play nothing happens.
Make sure youÆre using the GDDB EVE profile, and that youÆre running it in winxp compability mode. (If you don't have this update your Cedega)
How do I run EVE in fullscreen mode in a Cedega window?
In the EVE display settings, choose fullscreen and a resolution you wish to run.
Now change the Cedega EVE display settings:
1. Right click the EVE icon in Cedega, choose ôEdit Propertiesö 2. Select ôEdit Settingsö in the Advanced Settings Overrides section 3. In the ôgeneralö tab, select the resolution you chose in EVE under the ôdesktopö menu 4. Deselect DXGrab in the general window to allow your mouse to leave the Cedega window.
Known Issues:
* Ubuntu now uses dash as the default sh implementation instead of bash. Several Cedega scripts arenÆt fully compatible with dash, the workaround is to switch the default shell back to bash. It can be done with the following command (and selecting no):
sudo dpkg-reconfigure dash - select no when prompted
* Alt + F1-F12 doesnÆt work.
* Switching between fullscreen and window mode, sometimes causes CTDÆs.
Wine

some links to other forums posts: original thread about linux support Thread about running EVE on Mac with x86 architecture (Crossover for Mac)
external links: EVE entry in the wine application database EVE entry in the codeweavers application database (Crossover for Linux/Mac) these list/link to known problems/workarounds
I wonder if anyone tried compiling wine on an Intel Mac to test it with Eve.
general notes: - fps might be different on Cedega/Wine/Crossover and change from Eve and program versions - sometimes Cedega has a demo version available, wine is free, Crossover has demo versions for linux and mac available

Edited by: Sevarus James on 01/03/2007 21:14:02 Edited by: Sevarus James on 01/03/2007 21:12:48 Aside from that list, another 'quickfix'. If you are experiencing black screen on portraits (characters screen and or iconic portraits in game), ensure that the graphics settings tab for EVE in cedega has FBO unchecked. This WILL speed up fps somewhat, but causes problems with portrait rendering.
The fullscreen > windowed mode > fullscreen normally works fairly well ONLY while docked. If you are in space, do NOT do it as its a guaranteed way to end the session.
Also, greetings NOZH, and thank you for the sticky to this. It is MOST appreciated!

The ALT-Function not working will be the desktop stealing those key presses. I fixed it in my distro by making an entry in KDE settings for removing all desktop shortcuts when Cedega is selected. I force Eve into a window with Cedega. This then allows shrinking of Eve using the mouse/taskbar which itself is shrinkable.

/Nozh.
This can be solved by making sure that you have the "MS Core Fonts" package installed. Install this through the update function of cedega an be sure to have selected "MS Core Fonts"

Well, I can get EVE running in Cedega under Ubuntu on my MacBook Pro, with all the latest ATI proprietary drivers and all.
However, the game seems to freeze almost everytime I click on a stargate. In addition, I get I see wireframe cubes in the universe, planets, and even on my character (during character creation). Finally, the picture preview in the chat looks corrupted a lot.
However, I do not seem to have any of these issues with Wine 9.31. However, I do get a better FPS and overall 'look' in Cedega than I do in Wine, so I am hoping to get it running better with Cedega somehow.
Does anyone else have these issues with ATI cards? (I hear most of these issues aren't with NVidia).. however, I don't think it's graphics related since I don't see these issues with Wine.
Thanks.

Cedega 5.2.10 + Latest Ubuntu = Eve works perfectly ...
Except one thing : - If I use a Razer Copperhead Mouse (USB, 2000Dpi and 1Ghz USB polling), I drop from 198 FPS to 5 FPS if I move it (even if I switch to 400DPI/125Hz USB polling) - If I use a Logitech MX500, my FPS drop from 198 to 125.
Anyone has an idea to avoid this problem ?

I do hope it's true. Though I hope that if they do use Transgaming Cider for the Mac client, that the ATI support is better than Cedega (also from Transgaming). As it stands right now, I'm having issues using Cedega with my ATI card (as stated in a previous posts), but that's for Linux and not Mac.
As for the Linux client, it makes me wonder if they are doing an OpenGl port of it, or if they are using a third party porting software like Cedega?

Ok, I will reply to my own question : I've managed to solve my mouse problem : I've installed XFCE, and no problems at all with my mouse. But with Gnome the problem is present.
So it was just a WM problem ...

A lot of the issues relating to ATI cards can be traced back to their drivers, though the driver made a lot of progress over the past year. It is still lacking in a lot of parts, support with Cedega increases with every release though along with performance.

Well Devs? I know you guys have done a lot in Direct X, but with the scariness that is DX10 under Vista, any chance of an conversion over to OpenGL for actual cross platform possibility rather than emulation?

This thread could do with some cleaning of off-topic posts. The questions around the "native" client are answered in other threads.

If you have problems updating/upgrading to cedega 6.0 the following will probably get you back in business:
<snip> Just a heads up after I installed 6.0 I could not launch any games. They would not run I could see the wineserver running in the process list but the games would never launch. I fixed it by
backing up my cedega directory so that I would not lose my games mv .cedega ./cedega-old
apt-get --purge remove cedega-small
in home dir rm .transgaming_global rm .cedega rm .cedegarc
Then dpkg -i cedega-small_6.0_all.deb
run it and you should get the setup wiz
After that you can move back the game directories only from cedega-old to .cedega
<snip>
Thanks to alienj20 on the cedega forums for this one.

I just wondering with the lag issues running under XP, will Cedega running under Linux will add a bit more lag to it. It would be nice just to have Eve clients available on Linux and Mac. I think Vista has created a turning point in OS selection, if Linux community (the world) gets the OS installation more user friendly to the less linux gifted, it would be nice to drop Vista and move to MAC or Linux OS. having eve clients running native in Linux will be magic if Eve can perhaps ask the Linux community to help in creating a eve client.

Edited by: Sevarus James on 13/04/2007 13:05:45 one word regarding lag: LESS. I have experienced less lag/latency under linux than I EVER did under XP. Do NOT confuse latency with the client's frame rate. There's a lot more to it than that. See my post in general section regarding the IBM article for more info.

Edited by: Sevarus James on 16/04/2007 15:43:12 Edited by: Sevarus James on 16/04/2007 15:37:29 So, after some more fiddling about and playing with the nvidia control panel/cedega 6.0 settings, here are the results, and they even surprised me!
First, my specs:
x2 3800 dual core AMD nforce4 nvidia moboard using the ck804 onboard sound. 2 gig 128bit dual channel corsair ram nvidia 7950 Evga 512meg video card (non sli mode) nvidia 9755 video drivers ubuntu 6.10 edgy (current) cedega 6.0
Running EVE fullscreen at 1900x1200 resolution on a 26" widescreen Acer LCD. Running cedega in a window with EVE running "fullscreen" produces nearly identical marks even at lower resolution.
Now onto the settings:
Cedega settings:
general tab settings: scheduler=no checked: decrease wineserver priority accelerated interprocess.
SOUND -yep, it does work! using alsa for sound ctl device= default pcm device= default ---normally these two will default to "hw". This will cause problems on some systems (mine.) replacing this with "default" fixes my sound issues completely, and I see no framerate hit with or WITHOUT sound.
mmap NOT checked -not needed for audio. (This, iirc, is for outbound, such as voice comms.)
Graphics Tab
Manually set the video to the card's specs: video ram=512 agp vertex=128
This doesn't seem to make much difference, whichever is chosen: pixel shaders=1.4
EVE doesn't use 2.0 vertex shaders=1.1
checked: nv_var arb_vbo
UNCHECK framebuffer/float Uncheck GL shading language Uncheck Occlusion Queries. ---------what surprised me here is that FBO, although problematic in 5.2.10 and lower tended to INCREASE frame rate. In 6.0, it seems to DECREASE it. By unchecking these new settings, my framerate jumped about 20% over having them checked.
-----
Nvidia control panel:
X Server XVideo Settings:
sync to " " uncheck both entries.
OpenGL Settings:
3/4 to the right on the performance slider uncheck "sync to vblank" CHECK "allow flipping"
Antialiasing settings: uncheck all.(if checked).
In EVE: 1900x1200 Fullscreen prefs.ini buffersize=512 ---I have audio=1
- I am seeing NO difference in framerate under cedega using alsa or having sound off.
Results and screenshots: Character screen: 185fps In station= 73fps
In Space:
At station=46fps In warp = 61fps At gate= 48fps By planet= 45fps Deadspace Complex entry with clouds: 38fps
--these are averages. lows were in the mid to high 30's, and I, for the first time ever saw 71fps during warp at one point.
Please realize your mileage will vary with hardware, but this is the best fps I've ever...EVER had with EVE under Linux.
Hope this helps some of you who have been futzing about with settings.
Attached screenshots:
At Gate 48fps
Out of warp 67fps
In station 73fps
At station 46fps
In warp 61fps

Edited by: Serphonis on 18/04/2007 12:25:52 yes, with a fresh install of all 6.0 cedega stuff (including ms fonts and stuff you get for being a member and not just torrenting cedega :p ) eve works without a hitch, Eve was actaully in teh game DB list for ready to go pre-sets, just clicked it and it works perfectly!

I've got eve running fairly well on ubuntu with wine (v. 0.9.35), though using the fglrx ATI drivers was a no go, I've had to install AIGLX drivers, but now it works fine. A few graphical glitches here and there, but otherwise I'm very happy with the outcome.

.9.35 has a known memory leak issue. You may be happy with the results, but after a period of time it will suck your system resources dry. .9.34 would be a better solution at this time.

well...maybe i missed a post about this :P....i think i can fix the fps problem and still run in window mode. this also works for windows but makes a huge difference with linux. be sure your res for the game client is LESS than the res for the desktop/monitor. for me this means the difference between playable and not.

I've got one problem, which may or may not be entirely separate from the OS.
The planet depth stuff seems to be wrong. The centre of the planet (as you look at it) is fine, but the edges (where I imagine there is supposed to be some sort of could/halo effect) is jerky. Also, with planets with rings, the part of the ring behind the planet can jump in front and flicker back and forward between the two.
I've tried changing the depth buffer, but whenever I do it crashes Eve and the original settings are there before hand. Now my dissertation is over (woo!) I'm working on getting everything working correctly on my linux box.
I'm using Cedega 6.0 under gentoo-2.6.20-r2. 1gig DDR2, 1.83 Core 2 Duo, nVidia 7600 Go. Yes it's a laptop *grin*.
And yeah, I can get 200fps in station with no windows up, around 25 with windows covering the whole screen, 40 in warp, 20 in missions.
I'll get some screenshots of the problem when I get home. I'm thinking it's depth buffer problem, but I don't have a windows install to check.

Ok but, is it really playable? As in, in real situations etc? Does it cause more graphics lag in big battles or not? Does it crash more often in awkward situations, etc...?
And also - is Cedega worth getting if it works with wine as well? Please advise, because i am getting very sick of Windows and i generally keep it just because of EVE(other game i actually play atm is Quake, which i can get in Linux aswell), so i'd be oh so happy to finally ditch it.
