Finally took a little time to load new beta launcher with steam. As directed on CCP Strooopwafel’s post it was perfect.
Initial loadup was snappier than the old launcher.
It initially loaded up with default settings, but I had backed up. Re-copied over the core_char, and core_public and core_user files and everything was just as I’d left it 30 minutes prior.
I know this is somewhat variable, but in case anybody needs this, on Linux Mint with steam/proton the user files are:
/home/xxxxx/.steam/debian-installation/steamapps/compatdata/8500/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/AppData/Local/CCP/EVE/c_ccp_eve_online_tq_tranquility/settings_Default/
Tested with:
Linux Mint 21.2
Kernel 6.5.0-1006-oem
Mesa 23.2.1 from Kisak repo
RX 7900 XT
Proton Experimental as of 2 NOV 23.
Client reports it is in DX12 mode
