You will need to install a number of required libraries with winetricks.

•  "winetricks corefonts d3dx9_36 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010" if this does not work try:
  
• wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks
• chmod +x winetricks
•  "./winetricks corefonts d3dx9_36 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010"
• wine Eve_Oline_Installer*.exe

Virtual Desktops

Most testers report that Eve runs best in full screen mode in a virtual desktop, however as of wine 1.5 many users report that windowed mode is stable.  If you are using wine 1.4 you can set the virtual desktop mode via winecfg or create a script to run Eve.  Most people put the script in ~/bin/eve.bash or /usr/local/bin/eve.bash.  Note that 1920x1080 should be your desired resolution.

#!/bin/bash

WINE=wine 

$WINE explorer /desktop=eveA,1920x1080 "c:\program files\ccp\eve\eve.exe"

Then run;

• winecfg
• Make changes to winecfg according to other HOWTO to get game running
• chmod +x /~/bin/eve.bash
• eve.bash to play

If you are running wine 1.5 you may find it simpler to use  windowed mode.  If you wish to run multiple clients with wine 1.4 it's recommend that you create additional script for each instance, and change "desktop=eveA" to "desktop=eveB"...  You will also need to change the settings eve launcher settings so that it does not relaunch itself.

Creating a new wine prefix

If you need/want to use wine different instances of "windows" for Eve.  (Important if you have a lot of games with various installed dlls, and overrides that conflict.)  Creating a new prefix is simple create the directory and add the WINEPREFIX to all wine and winetricks commands.

• mkdir ~/wine_games
  
• add "WINEPREFIX=~/wine_games/wine-eve" to all wine and winetricks commands.
  

Some users prefer to have multiple wineprefixes for each eve client, but this is not required.

If this list doesn't include something you needed, please mention in comments below. 

 Wine 1.5.20 or newer

You will need to disable Direct3D v11 support

Run winecfg and select -> Libraries -> [New override for library: ] d3d11 -> Add -> Edit... -> Disable

Note that wine version 1.5.25 requires msvcr90 set to (native,builtin).  (See below in the 1.4.x section for various methods.)

Wine 1.4

To play the game you need the following

This can be done with winecfg under Libraries.  Alternately you can set these at the command line. Like this:

WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcr80,msvcr90,msvcr100=n,b"

Patching under Wine version 1.4

You will need to reverse the above overrides in order to patch EVE. 

winecfg -> libraries and set to

• msvcr100 (native, builtin)
• msvcr80 (native, builtin)
• msvcr90 (native, builtin)

Or WINEDLLOVERRIDES="msvcr100,msvcr90,msvcr80=b,n"

1) Note that the Captain's Quarters feature is broken for most (all?) users.  If you crash after selecting a character try hitting escape at the login screen and disabling Captain's Quarters under the graphics selection.  (This feature is considered useless by most Eve Players.)

2) Sound historically has been problematic for many posters in the past..  If you are crashing be sure to turn it off to see if it's causing issues.

3) If you are crashing during play you may find that reducing your graphic settings will help.  This is vital if you have an older card, low amounts of memory, and/or run a lot of clients.

About the use of uppercase words

Some people can understand Uppercase words with "scream", this is a courtesy nettiquette. try search on google about this.

1] Catalyst is actively setting constrains on Wine [BUG = http://ati.cchtml.com/show_bug.cgi?id=528]
Is under investigation by the AMD, workaround below;

cp /usr/bin/wine /usr/bin/Emulator or something else, though please note that this under investigation and may introduce bugs that AMD may have tried to workaround with that ugly fix.


2] Seems that explosions from missiles and other effects have some corruption on the ships.
Workaround, enable Anti-Aliasing >= Low in options.


3] Rendering and GLSL errors when shaders on High
Catalyst 12.6 and older will have issues on High shaders. Later versions should have this fixed when released. [NOT FIXED in 12.8]


4] Freezes
Catalyst may freak Xorg out sometimes during login screen. SSH into the computer and killing the Wineprefix that the game was running may return the computer to usable state without the need of hard reboot. There is also a big chance that the game rendering will crash on first launch. UI works but you cant open menu's or drag ships or undock. Restart client if this happens.

Other workaround would be to have a script executed to kill the Wineprefix with a delay if not terminated.

5] Catalyst 12.9 beta2
This driver seem to have better and more stable performance, no more degrading over time nor crashing as much as it did in the ones before. However it got some drawbacks as in not rendering previews of ships, drones and gates and performance dies when running the game with HDR enabled.

All following steps you may use 'root' user, later of installation, you can run wine from normal user

1) Get a 32 bit copy from : http://www.freebsd.org/where.html">http://www.freebsd.org/where.html

2) Mount your 32 bit DVD of FreeBSD and install the base system, related 32 bits libraries and source code, copy Xorg and Linux emulation (necessary to compile nVIDIA driver) packages and download NVIDIA driver 32bits:

       # mkdir /compat/i386
       # cd /compat/i386
       # wget http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86/290.10/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-290.10.tar.gz%20">http://us.download.nvidia.com/XFree86/FreeBSD-x86/290.10/NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-290.10.tar.gz
       # mount -t cd9660 /dev/cd0 /mnt
       # cd /mnt/usr/freebsd-dist
       # sh
       # export DESTDIR=/compat/i386
       # for file in base.txz src.txz; do (cat $file | tar --unlink -xpJf - -C ${DESTDIR:-/}); done
       # cp /etc/resolv.conf ${DIR}/etc/
       # cp -v /mnt/packages/emulators/linux_base-f10-10_4.tbz /compat/i386

        Note:

        URL variable could be change on your system, the idea here, is put the correct path to your copy of FreeBSD 32bits

3)  Mount dev directory in the i386 enviroment:

     # mount -t devfs devfs /compat/i386/dev

4) Now will do a chroot on /compat/i386 (as root) and change to "sh" shell:

    # chroot /compat/i386
    # sh

5) Inside of chroot (/compat/i386) do the following:

    # /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start
    # export MACHINE=i386 && export UNAME_p=i386 && export UNAME_m=i386
    # pkg_add linux_base-f10-10_4.tbz && rm -v linux_base-f10-10_4.tbz
    # pkg_add -r gsm openal mpg123 speex xorg-server wget flex
    # pkg_add -r help2man m4 jpeg lcms bison libGLU libXi
    # pkg_add -r libXrandr && pkg_add -r libXcursor
    # portsnap fetch extract
    # mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/man/man1 && mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers && mkdir /usr/ports/distfiles

6)  Now we will install the NVIDIA driver 32 bits version inside Chroot, current version is 290.10, and move it to right place to install it inside of chroot with portmaster or with your favorite install tool (I use only 'make'), your 64bits OS and the chroot enviroment should be the same driver version, this is very important, if you install different version, Wine won't run  :

    # rm -fv /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/distinfo
    # mv -v /NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-290.10.tar.gz /usr/ports/distfiles
    # cd /usr/ports/distfiles
    # sha256 NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-290.10.tar.gz > /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/distinfo
    # ls -la NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-290.10.tar.gz | awk '{print "SIZE ("$9") = " $5}' >> /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver/distinfo    

if you check you distinfo file, the output should be something similar to:

SHA256 (NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-290.10.tar.gz) = f5accbdac0b231a8073f76c1d1d8ace7cb98ebe167888c31183a2752a669ee92
SIZE (NVIDIA-FreeBSD-x86-290.10.tar.gz) = 32042469

   # cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver   

Edit the file Makefile and change the line DISTVERSION? to DISTVERSION?=290.10

  # make install clean

7) Now will make Wine :

  # cd /usr/ports/emulators/wine && make install clean

8) Now we will exit from chroot :

  # exit

9) To run apps with wine we need first complete fonts apps depency, normaly Arial fonts. to do this will install in outside chroot, cabextract (as root):

  # portmaster archivers/cabextract
  # download Arial family letters from http://sourceforge.net/projects/corefonts/files/the%20fonts/final/ [to_a_folder]
  # cd [to_a_folder]
  # cabextract *

10) Move the fonts to right place :

  # mv -v Ari*  /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/

11)  Open a terminal and run 'sh' and put some aliases:

  # sh
  # alias winecfg="LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH=/compat/i386/usr/local/lib:/compat/i386/usr/X11R6/lib PATH=/compat/i386/usr/local/bin:$PATH /compat/i386/usr/local/bin/winecfg"
  # alias wine="LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH=/compat/i386/usr/local/lib:/compat/i386/usr/X11R6/lib PATH=/compat/i386/usr/local/bin:$PATH /compat/i386/usr/local/bin/wine"

12) Run winecfg and configure the rest as always or with your preferences.

13) Create the symlink to the new fonts  installed in step 10 in  ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts :

  #  ln -s /usr/local/lib/X11/fonts/TTF/Ari* /home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/

14) Run your win32 application as always.
