You will need to disable Direct3D v11 support
Run winecfg and select -> Libraries -> [New override for library: ] d3d11 -> Add -> Edit... -> Disable
You will need to install a number of required libraries with winetricks.

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

2) 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.
3) DirectX11 support in Wine is potentially a long way off, so make sure your client is using DirectX9.
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.Cortesy Artur O.

You need to use 'root' user in all steps, later of installation you can run wine as normal user
1) Get a 32 bit copy from : https://www.freebsd.org/where....
2) Mount your 32 bit DVD of FreeBSD and install the base system, related 32 bits libraries and source code, copy Xorg (necessary to compile nVIDIA driver) packages and download NVIDIA driver 32bits:
# mkdir -p /compat/i386
# cd /compat/i386
# mount -t cd9660 /dev/`mdconfig -f [freebsd_32_bit.iso file] ` /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 ${DESTDIR:-/}); done
Note:
DESTDIR variable could be different on your system, the idea here, is put the correct path to your copy of FreeBSD 32bits
3) Mount dev directory in the i386 enviroment:
# mount -t devfs devfs /compat/i386/dev
4) Copy your /etc/resolv.conf to /compat/i386/etc
# cp -v /etc/resolv.conf /compat/i386/etc/
5) Copy your ports from Host's system inside 32 bit chroot's enviroment :
# cp -vr /usr/ports /compat/i386/usr/
6) Now do a chroot on /compat/i386 (as root) and change to "sh" shell:
# chroot /compat/i386
# sh
7) Edit /etc/rc.d/ldconfig and add /usr/local/lib to system library:
Before :
if [ -x "${ldconfig_command}" ]; then
_LDC="/lib /usr/lib "
for i in ${ldconfig_local_dirs}; do
if [ -d "${i}" ]; then
_files=`find ${i} -type f`
if [ -n "${_files}" ]; then
ldconfig_paths="${ldconfig_paths} `cat ${_files} | sort -u`"
After:
if [ -x "${ldconfig_command}" ]; then
_LDC="/lib /usr/lib /usr/local/lib"
for i in ${ldconfig_local_dirs}; do
if [ -d "${i}" ]; then
_files=`find ${i} -type f`
if [ -n "${_files}" ]; then
ldconfig_paths="${ldconfig_paths} `cat ${_files} | sort -u`"
This is necessary because some libraries installation path is located in /usr/local/lib and later Wine' configure don't detect them
8) Inside of chroot (/compat/i386) do the following:
# /etc/rc.d/ldconfig start
# setenv MACHINE i386 && setenv UNAME_p i386 && setenv UNAME_m i386
# pkg install gsm mpg123 speex xorg wget flex help2man jpeg lcms bison libGLU libXi libXrandr libXcursor
# cd /usr/ports/graphics/libosmesa && make install clean
# mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/man/man1 && mkdir -p /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers
9) Now we will install the NVIDIA driver 32 bits version inside Chroot current version is 390.48, your 64bits OS and the chroot environment should be the same driver version, this is very important, if you install different version, Wine won't run :
# cd /usr/ports/x11/nvidia-driver && make install clean
[Important : Don't check Linux support option]
10) Now is time to build Wine :
# cd /usr/ports/emulators/wine-devel && make install clean
11) Now we will exit from chroot :
# exit
12) To run apps with wine we need first complete fonts apps dependency, normally Arial fonts. to do this will install in outside chroot, cabextract (as root):
# cd /usr/ports/archivers/cabextract && make install clean
# download Arial family letters from https://sourceforge.net/projec... [to_a_folder]
# cd [to_a_folder]
# cabextract *
13) Move the fonts to right place :
# mv -v Ari* /usr/local/share/fonts/TTF/
14) Open a terminal and put some aliases:
# alias winecfg="LD_32_LIBRARY_PATH=/compat/i386/usr/local/lib:/compat/i386/usr/X11R6/lib PATH=/compat/i386/usr/local/bin:$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:$PATH /compat/i386/usr/local/bin/wine"
15) Run winecfg and configure the rest as always or with your preferences.
16) Create the symlink to the new fonts installed in step 13 in ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts :
# ln -s /usr/local/share/fonts/TTF/Ari* /home/$USER/.wine/drive_c/windows/Fonts/
17) Run your win32 application as always.
17.1 To install EVE run:
wine msiexec /I (filename).msi

Install Wine Staging to bypass UAC prompt. Then install the following libraries using winetricks:
winetricks msdelta vkd3d vcrun2022 dxvk2030
Wine requires some libraries to be able to run the game. A set of recommended packages for Arch Linux are listed below. Users of other distributions should install the equivalent packages:
'base-devel' 'gnutls' 'gst-plugins-base-libs' 'libldap' 'libva' 'mpg123' 'openal' 'samba' 'v4l-utils' 'lib32-alsa-lib' 'lib32-alsa-plugins' 'lib32-gnutls' 'lib32-gst-plugins-base-libs' 'lib32-libldap' 'lib32-libpulse' 'lib32-libva' 'lib32-libxml2' 'lib32-mpg123' 'lib32-openal' 'lib32-v4l-utils' 'wine-staging' 'wine-mono' 'wine-gecko' 'winetricks' 'vulkan-driver' 'lib32-vulkan-driver' 'vulkan-tools'
Then run the downloaded launcher:
wine ~/Downloads/eve-online-latest+Setup.exe
EVE Online launcher should be running at this point, let the minimum game files be downloaded until the client is ready.
After the initial run of the installer is closed, try running the game next time as follows:
wine start "C:\\users\\username\\AppData\\Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\CCP Games\\EVE Online.lnk"
Wine-Staging can also be optionally changed to regular Wine after the initial run finishes installation.

1. Increase vm.max_map_count (Arch Wiki)
2. Set temp directory on tmpfs. (Command assumes $WINEPREFIX is set)
rm -r $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/$USER/Temp $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/temp ln -s /tmp/ $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/$USER/Temp ln -s /tmp/ $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/windows/temp
3. install vkbasalt and and enable it by setting the environment variable:
ENABLE_VKBASALT=1
4. These additional environment variables may improve performance
LD_BIND_NOW=1 VKD3D_CONFIG=force_host_cached VKD3D_DEBUG=none WINEESYNC=1 WINEDEBUG="-all" __GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1 __GL_SYNC_TO_VBLANK=0 __GL_NextGenCompiler=1
