I'm new to eve and just purchased my account a few days ago after playing the trail for awhile. I downloaded and installed the eve client for linux and to my surprised it worked very well, granted it has to use cedega to run and i'm not a huge fan of compatibility layers or emulators, but it's not like i would ask the developers to rewrite the entire engine to have a native port. I think that working with cedega was a huge step in the right direction though. I think another big step in a good direction would be to possibly make the new eve engines in the future to use openGL, so that way a native port would be easier to do. All in all the game runs very good on cedega... disappointed by the fact that premium graphics can't be used.
What do the rest of you linux gamers think? OpenGL, to much work or another good step? Does the game play well for you and what distro are you using.

EVE was on OpenGL but they switched to DX.
I was ranting for a Linux client when the game was running on OpenGL. Now that it's on DX we can only dream about a native client in OpenGL under Linux.
We will probably have to live with cedega.

And thats most likely the reason why I didn't play much lately (the last few month)
I still don't get it why they even switched over to that damn DX crp. *banging-my-head-against-the-desk*
I feel a lil' bit better now.
