Downgraded?
by Scot McPherson on Tuesday November 3rd 2009, 13:24
I know I am a proponent for honest reporting, but considering the past discussions, plus careful reviewing of the maintainer rating FAQ, I think this application should be rated Gold, it has been downgraded on the front page to Silver. Since it is only settings changes, and not a function of wine but of Eve Online itself to overwrite our current workaround for a VERY SPECIFIC distribution-version (ubuntu-9.10), I think this should be upgraded back up to Gold.
Ubuntu-9.10 + Wine-1.1.32 (any wine version really)
by Scot McPherson on Sunday November 1st 2009, 18:20
The upgrade to ubuntu-9.10 has caused a problem with Eve Online, this is now specifically a wine problem, however it does affect gameplay of eve.
I have a workaround that many people and myself collaborated on, and was discovered by disabling networking while starting eve-online, then reconnecting before logging on.
The problem which occurs before the logon window is displayed, and therefore caused Eve to crash after some timeout period.
What happens is Bits is trying to look for possible upgrades, but it fails to connect properly somehow, disabling DNS, or the network allows it to just fail and move on to the next step.
A much less drastic measure is to configure the prefs.ini file found in local settings/application data to "BitsCancelled=0". Each time Eve is started, it will rewrite "BitsCancelled=1" and you therefore much repeat this step each time you want to start eve.
The following perl command will work if you are in the correct directory:
$ perl -pi -e 's/bitsCancelled=1/bitsCancelled=0/' prefs.ini
This is obviously a work around, and I believe it has something to do with the kernel, as do others, but this should be helpful to people wanted to get online with Eve right now.
microphone not working
by Rob Verduijn on Thursday October 29th 2009, 3:14
Hello,
I'm running wine 1.1.32 on opensuse 11.1 x86_64 kde 4.3.x
For some reason my microphone does not work in fleet chat. I'm using alsa with pulse-audio since that is the default setup in opensuse nowadays.
Anybody who has their mic working in eve with pulse audio ?
update eve client
by Rob Verduijn on Wednesday October 28th 2009, 9:46
I read this in the eve-online wiki
This maybe usefull here to, since it explains how to patch eve manually in case the update tool craps out on you.
here follows shameless copy-paste from wiki.eveonline.com/wiki/Install_EVE_on_linux_with_wine :
Patching EVE
You need to install the Microsoft Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable Package in order for the patch to run. You can do this by coping and pasting the following into a terminal window.
Next, you need to identify what version of EVE you are using. You can do this by launching EVE, then looking in the upper-right hand corner. Remember the last 5 numbers.
Next, visit this site and find your build number (the last 5 digits from the last step) in the "Version History" table for Tranquility. In the table, move right from your build number to the Premium link. Copy the URL the link leads to, then add "_m" right before ".exe". Download that file and run it to patch EVE.
Freeze during character selection
by mizipzor on Tuesday August 11th 2009, 12:24
Eve freezes after Ive logged in and before my characters appear. All the gui, background, sound and stuff is there, but its that white "!" on black background instead of the face.
My guess is that its due to wine failing to render the character.
This is my gfx card:
1. 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Mobile 945GM/GMS, 943/940GML Express Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 03)
Could this be related to bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18794 ? I suspect that since the freeze locks the entire system, only a cold reboot can save it, thus it cant be a wine bug. Anyone know of a workaround?

FYI On corp creation
by Robert Diamond on Monday August 3rd 2009, 18:43
I've just tried with Wine 1.1.26. Corp and icon creation works fine. Haven't tried alliance creation, but I'm guessing it's mostly the same code, so it should work as well.
Graphic lag when rotating camera
by Gob on Thursday July 23rd 2009, 0:31
Hi -
Whenever I am near something big, like a (fancy) station, there's about a second of lag where the screen is frozen when I try to look around. Once I am looking around (holding mouse1 or 2 down), everything renders very fast.
When I am away from the station (warping), there is no lag when i start to move the camera around. It also performs fine if I zoom far out from the station.
Has anyone seen anything like this? My detail settings are turned as far down as I can go.
AMD64 3500+
1GB RAM
Nvidia 6800
usually 1920x1200 resolution (though it happens at other resolutions)
I'm running Ubuntu 9.04 (64-bit) with 9.6 ATI drivers (installed manually, the one from the repos is unusable for me) on a HD3850 card, and using Wine 1.1.26 (although the same effect appears on 1.1.24 and 25 too). Windowed mode, 1280x1024 (desktop is 1600x1200)
Impostation for 3d issues
by Grifen on Friday July 10th 2009, 10:53
I found a way to resolve my issues abouth models not visible and bad rendering.
Add these lines in the registry (try "Regedit" in console):
[Software\\Wine\\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"MaxFragmentUniforms"="1024"
"MaxVaryings"="52"
"MaxVertexUniforms"="1024"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo" (if you have graphical glitches with interface, cange it in "Backbuffer" )
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"VertexShaderMode"="hardware"
"VideoMemorySize"="(you videocard memory here)"
Suggest use Wine 1.1.24. For Ati videocard use, also upgrade to latest fglrx driver.
I have the same problem! With Wine 1.0.1 the game start but don't rendering nothing, with last release the game have a lot of graphical glitches in menu and charater selection, then stop working when i enter the game.
I try different version and latest drivers for my graphic card, but nothing work.
I have an Ati card 3870 and a AMD64 system.
Unexpected window resize (far too small) Eve-online 6.12 in wine 1.0.1 and 1.1.24
by scott gray on Thursday June 25th 2009, 13:14
This does not seem to be a wine bug, but rather a problem only with eve.
I was able to play initially, perfectly for about 20 minutes. Then unexpectedly the emulated desktop suddenly resized to approximately 400x300. I have not been unable to restore the correct settings in the game, as the window is too small to show the configuration menu. I have found references to this problem in the past with no fixes.
There is also a directory of some sort that eve seems to be trying to write to when launched from the link created during installation of eve. This is the message I get when clicking the link "Failed to change to directory '/home/(user)/.wine/dosdevices/c:/windows/temp/nsr8dc3.tmp' (No such file or directory)", The dir name changes with each launch. The windows temp dir has full write permissions for all users.
I have removed the .wine directory and reinstalled with the same results.
Wine notepad displays within the correct sized emulated desktop.
This machine has run Eve perfectly before, this is not a hardware related issue.
This is a fresh install of Ubuntu 9.04 32 bit, wine 1.1.24, and eve-online 9.12.89883, and winetricks fonts
