As announced earlier in this forum thread Revelations 2.3 will be deployed on Tuesday, 6 November. This patch will contain a number of fixes which can all be viewed here, but most importantly it contains formal support for Mac OS X and Linux! If you would like to have a sneak preview of what it is going to be like playing on the supported OS of your choice, then I suggest you download the full installer and connect to our test server Multiplicity and try it out.
Here are the system requirements for Mac and Linux. Windows requirements are still the same.
Cedega:
Minimum System Requirements:
OS: Ubuntu 7+, Suse 10+, Linspire 6
CPU: CPU speed equal or greater than 1,8GHz Centrino
RAM: 1024 MB
HD space: 6.0 GB
Video: NVidia 6600, ATI is not supported.
Recommended system configuration for running EVE-Online:
OS: Ubuntu 7+, Suse 10+, Linspire 6
CPU: 2GHZ
RAM: 2GB
HD space: 6.0 GB
Video: Nvidia 7600 or later, ATI is not supported.
Cider:
Minimal system requirements
OS: OS X 10.4.9 or later.
CPU: Intel based computer with CPU speed equal or greater than 1.8GHz , the client does not run on a PPC.
Video: ATI X1600 or NVidia 7300
RAM: 1024 MB or more
HD space: 6 GB
Recommended system configuration for running EVE-Online:
OS: OS X 10.4.9 or later
CPU: Intel based CPU 2GHz or better, the client does not run on a PPC.
Video: ATI X1900 or Nvidia 7600
RAM: 2 GB
HD space: 6 GB or more
How do I install EVE on Macintosh
The installation experience on Cider Runtime is identical to any Mac OS X installation procedure.
In General, Cider Runtime uses a simple drag and drop installation, i.e. into the Applications folder.
1. Download the EVE Online client. The client will be packaged as a .dmg file.
2. Double-click the .dmg file.
3. Drag the EVE Online Icon to your Applications folder.
NOTE: EVE Online may be unstable if run from a disk or installation package.
You can download EVE Online for Macintosh here.
How to install Eve on Linux
Download the package for your distribution:
openSUSE
Ubuntu, Linspire
The user installs EVE Online using a graphical or command line package manager. On installation a Starter Kit will install program shortcuts and installation configuration files.
On launch, via the Start Menu shortcut or command line, the Starter Kit will download and install all necessary files for the application on Cedega.
Tick the Internet radio button to download the latest Game Package release from the Internet and then click Continue.
Patches are automatically downloaded and applied using the regular Auto-patcher.
How to connect to Multiplicity:
1. Run the client
2. Once the log in screen appears type in 87.237.38.51 in the server Combo box.
3. Enter your username and password that you had on Tranquility the 2nd of October as the mirror was taken from Tranquility at that time.
4. Click Log in.
5. Profit?

This is actually very disappointing to say the least! Now we have to pay to play EVE and pay to play eve on linux! I mean seriously. Why not go with an open source solution like wine and we don't have to pay, than go with cedega and having to pay an additional fee every month.
There is no extra fee. It's all included in your regular EVE online subscription fee. I repeat, this is not a trap!
Originally by: Drudenhaus
So there isn't really any benefit to using this client vs the windows client with cedega other than official support? I'm more concerned about performance than support as my client works with Cedega.
We've worked closely with TransGaming on resolving all issues with playing EVE on Cider and Cedega. Official support is very important and TransGaming is contractually obligated to resolve any issues that may arise within a certain specified timeframe.

Is there any chance of getting another clone off Tranquility before the official launch? I reactivated my account as soon as I heard this news, and I'm sure many others did too, but the account is still listed as inactive on Multiplicity.
Go here and mention that you want to be re-activated on Multiplicity.

Only problem that I encountered so far is that Eve doesn't recognize my azerty keyboard. In fact I suspect that it doesn't check the system input settings. Very annoying when you're typing your password to login. 
Should have been fixed... bug report, please.

Hi.
We're currently testing tomorrows official build on multiplicity and that is why the public testing has been closed. Next time you can run the client will be on Tranquility after tomorrows downtime at 1400 GMT. Any bugs that you have encountered can be reported here: https://bugs.eve-online.com/newbugreport.asp
When you do so, please make sure you add information about your system so that we can determine the cause.
Please note that there will not be a patch available from the Test build that was released in this news article, to the new build that you need to connect to Tranquility. You will have to download the full official installer which will be available tomorrow after the patch has been deployed.
See you again after downtime.

So I ask again, when might we see ATI support? Why isn't ATI support at the moment (just curious)?
Here is an answer: http://oldforums.eveonline.com/?a=topic&threadID=629253&page=1#10

Update: The links provided in the announcement earlier have been removed, as they will not work on Tranquility after the patch deployment and Multiplicity is currently not accepting connections. New links to complete build downloads will be provided after the patch has been deployed.
We apologize for any confusion or inconvenience this has caused the community.

Are you required to pay Cedega's 5 USD monthly fee if you want to play the officially supported EvE linux version?
No.
Originally by: Daporc Hulo
Are you hindering EvE from working under Wine so we _have_ to use Cedega?
No.

Have you tried selecting "no depth buffer" under your "Graphics" tab?

We have created a new forum section where Windows, Macintosh and Linux users can post their problems and find solutions. The reason for this is so that it'll be easier to find solutions and post your problems to receive assistance.
The new section is named "Client, Hardware and Software Issues and Resolutions"
The Windows section is located here
The Mac section is located here
The Linux section is located here
We will be moving posts into the appropriate categories over a period of time to ease the transition over to those new categories. I hope this will help us all with locating problems and assisting each other solving them.
I have started moving posts over to the new threads, if your's is missing it'll be under the appropriate operating system
Best regards
Senior GM Retrofire
EVE Online Customer Support.
So please fill the forum with constuctive discussion about issues and workarounds for the different operating systems.
