Kale Kold Cry Of Death	Posted - 2007.09.12 07:46:00 - [1] Edited by: Kale Kold on 12/09/2007 07:48:54 http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/07/09/11/1446231.shtml http://www.linuxlookup.com/2007/sep/11/eve_online_to_linux Quote: EVE Online will be released for Linux with Cedega directly integrated into the game and on Mac through TransGaming's Cider portability engine. So who will be running EVE on Linux or Mac now?
Zhett Haukes Blood Corsair's The Red Skull	Posted - 2007.09.12 08:10:00 - [2] If that is true, my Mac is very happy!
SonShadowCat New Eden Communist Nation	Posted - 2007.09.12 08:31:00 - [3] Linux ftw!
Skelator Stronghold corp Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.12 08:31:00 - [4] Microsoft is going to be **ed. Say goodbye to CCP's Gold Partner** status with M$ Our Knights/GhostFleet are available for small honorable contracts. Phasmatis Velox Equitatus
DJ P	Posted - 2007.09.12 08:55:00 - [5] Cedega integration in EVE means two things. a) more stability in OSX/Linux b) new target market area, which is unspoiled. (and MAC/Linux users are more mature commuters and society too). Keep the good work CCP.
Masu'di Es and Whizz Hedonistic Imperative	Posted - 2007.09.12 09:39:00 - [6] my current computer is a bit old and runs eve to just an OK level, i need to earn some ús and upgrade my computer to do the emulation well. but once i do, it will be good bye to XP. Es and Whizz is recruiting
starinpro	Posted - 2007.09.12 10:09:00 - [7] I might switch to linux, a friend was showing me how you can have different screen setups and the cube etc, looks really nice and better than bl**dy ALT+tab function in XP.
Aaron Rex Caldari The Fated Interstellar Alcohol Conglomerate	Posted - 2007.09.12 11:01:00 - [8] Sweetness! I'll finaly be able to remove the taint of bootcamped Windows from my Macbook Pro! Aaron Rex - Remember the Scordite... The Fated
Pete Stalker Silentium.	Posted - 2007.09.12 11:05:00 - [9] cooooool There are only two types of aircrafts -- fighters and targets.
Selenica Draper Caldari Nexus Academy	Posted - 2007.09.12 11:25:00 - [10] I'll probably try both clients. Looking forward to it - I wonder when it's scheduled to release. (Around eve 3.0 maybe?)

VicturusTeSaluto	Posted - 2007.09.12 11:31:00 - [11] Probably wont bother unless I have missed something about ATI's Linux drivers improving by leaps and bounds.
An Anarchyyt Gallente Sublime.	Posted - 2007.09.12 11:31:00 - [12] Well, speaking from Dev comments, they had said something about the Mac Version currently only being playable on Intel architecture Macs. I have a Powerbook. So I may or may not be happy. Originally by: CCP Wrangler Second, a gentile is a non jewish person
Dex Nederland Caldari Caldari Independent Navy Reserve	Posted - 2007.09.12 11:33:00 - [13] I will at least be trying out the Mac Client. But the first time I am waiting to play because I have to wait for the Mac version of a patch I will reboot into XP home, which currently only has the purpose of running Eve and various supporting applications.
Maximor Fifth Exiled Legion Ground Zeero	Posted - 2007.09.12 11:56:00 - [14] This may be too much awesomeness for one thread. Linux users have been after this kind of support from a larger MMO for a long time. I do have a few questions: 1. It appears from the article that as opposed to a native client, Eve will be using the Cider portability engine from Transgaming. Will this be included in the eve client or will I be required to pay an additional $15 per month like Cedega users are required to do currently? 2. What kind of support can we expect? It's one thing to announce a linux compatible client. The ventrilo developers "announced" a linux ventrilo client nearly 4 years ago. That doesn't mean that they actually released it or would support it if they did. If you hold a unix shell up to your ear, can you still hear the c: ?
Patch86 Di-Tron Heavy Industries Atlas Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.12 12:15:00 - [15] Edited by: Patch86 on 12/09/2007 12:16:27 You already can play EVE in Linux under Wine, so I'm not thinking its going to be revolutionary (I already do play it on my Ubuntu box). But extra stability, quality, and support are all nothing but an excellent thing. Originally by: Maximor 1. It appears from the article that as opposed to a native client, Eve will be using the Cider portability engine from Transgaming. Will this be included in the eve client or will I be required to pay an additional $15 per month like Cedega users are required to do currently? Devs has stated before that the Linux client + wrapper will be provided just as free as the Windows client. The Cedega wrapper will be free, and configured to only work for EVE. ------ Originally by: CCP Prism X There's no such thing as playing too much EvE! You all obviously need more accounts!
Arachidamia The Ninja Coalition	Posted - 2007.09.12 12:35:00 - [16] Originally by: VicturusTeSaluto Probably wont bother unless I have missed something about ATI's Linux drivers improving by leaps and bounds. Within the last week ATI announced they were working on improving their linux support, and also releasing information concerning hardware to the community so open source drivers can be made. I'd say that potentially counts as leaps and bounds...
Kale Kold Cry Of Death	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:10:00 - [17] Edited by: Kale Kold on 12/09/2007 13:11:39 Originally by: VicturusTeSaluto Probably wont bother unless I have missed something about ATI's Linux drivers improving by leaps and bounds.

Adonis 4174	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:14:00 - [18] Cedega is significantly cheaper than $15/month. Cider is something they add to programs before distribution so the seller pays it. ----- Visible Implants - good for so many occasions
Nlewis GoonFleet GoonSwarm	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:26:00 - [19] Edited by: Nlewis on 12/09/2007 13:26:23 Awesome. Now I could play at work during downtime
Boomershoot Caldari Insurgent New Eden Tribe	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:32:00 - [20] if that's true, i can just format this OS and get eve on linux fully compatible finally :E ----------------------------------------------- Forum Warfare - Rank (4) - Level V Forum Warfare Specialist - Rank (9) - Level III Armor Flame Compensation - Rank (5) - Level IV

Awox Advanced Logistics	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:32:00 - [21] Cedega's usual product is junk, so probably not. If I'm wrong and the wrapper Cedega makes for the game is decent.. I'll be using it for sure. Will also remove my windows partition finally. M-5 are awesome. Proof? Here, here and here.
Ryas Nia Minmatar Veto. Veto Corp	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:34:00 - [22] I will never upgrade to Vista, so as soon as CCP have a stable and functional version of eve for linux, im off the Microsoft train for life!
prsr Gallente JuBa Corp RONA Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.12 13:35:00 - [23] EPIC THREAD! This is certainly going to cut down on my MS Windows exposure. -- .sig apathy ftw
Hllaxiu Shiva Morsus Mihi	Posted - 2007.09.12 14:01:00 - [24] Originally by: Kale Kold Edited by: Kale Kold on 12/09/2007 13:11:39 Originally by: VicturusTeSaluto Probably wont bother unless I have missed something about ATI's Linux drivers improving by leaps and bounds.

Both have said that they were improving Linux support for quite some time now, and its never actually shown up. Put up or shut up, both of you. --- Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail. - Emerson
Malcanis High4Life SMASH Alliance	Posted - 2007.09.12 14:03:00 - [25] Originally by: Kale Kold Edited by: Kale Kold on 12/09/2007 07:48:54 http://linux.slashdot.org/linux/07/09/11/1446231.shtml http://www.linuxlookup.com/2007/sep/11/eve_online_to_linux Quote: EVE Online will be released for Linux with Cedega directly integrated into the game and on Mac through TransGaming's Cider portability engine. So who will be running EVE on Linux or Mac now? Now that is pretty exciting... CONCORD provide consequences, not safety; only you can do that.
Aprudena Gist Caldari Chokdi Science and Industry	Posted - 2007.09.12 14:08:00 - [26] i'll be playing on a mac after i get a MacTel cause it wont run on the PPC's.
Kappas. Galaxy Punks O X I D E	Posted - 2007.09.12 14:32:00 - [27] Originally by: Hllaxiu Originally by: Kale Kold Edited by: Kale Kold on 12/09/2007 13:11:39 Originally by: VicturusTeSaluto Probably wont bother unless I have missed something about ATI's Linux drivers improving by leaps and bounds.

Both have said that they were improving Linux support for quite some time now, and its never actually shown up. Put up or shut up, both of you. I know nothing about ATI, because I've never used them - but CCP are doing a semi-open beta test on the linux/mac client now. There was a signup thread a little while ago.

Devs has stated before that the Linux client + wrapper will be provided just as free as the Windows client. The Cedega wrapper will be free, and configured to only work for EVE. This is good news. I got the price wrong, mostly because it's been a while since I've used cedega. Once I found out that you could do exactly the same stuff in Wine, for free, I simply canceled the subscription. There are probably things that work in cedega that don't work in Wine and vice versa. I'm reserving my judgment until this comes out BTW, if you are reading this and have no idea what linux is or have tried it once but never got into it, check out www.ubuntu.com Ubuntu is, at least in my experience, the easiest to use Linux version so far. While it may not have the following of Fedora, I happen to think it's more user friendly than Fedora. If you hold a unix shell up to your ear, can you still hear the c: ?
ericAmerica	Posted - 2007.09.12 15:13:00 - [29] I have been running Eve on linux for over a year now. This can only be a good thing : )
Eventy One	Posted - 2007.09.12 18:35:00 - [30] Originally by: Kale Kold So who will be running EVE on Linux or Mac now? I do anyway. But if this means I don't need to run wine, or that they are porting stuff over to OpenGL from DirectX - I say "CCP Rocks!" Cheers Eventy One
