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This is of course only to get the ball rolling, I know there was another thread but a lot of the info in it is now out of date.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.
