That problem has nothing to do with Linux though and is properly documented here: > [@Manually copy settings between characters and accounts](https://forums.eveonline.com/t/manually-copy-settings-between-characters-and-accounts/32704): > > Hi all, here’s the new guide for copy settings between characters. It works under Windows 7, 8.1 and 10. Personally tested under Windows 10 and 7. The Overview can be saved and exported/imported directly in game. But not the windows settings, arrangement, UI, buttons, etc. Or at least I don’t know how to, past this procedure. Navigate to “C:\Users%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\CCP\EVE” Here you have 2 folders named “xyzabcd\_tranquility”. You need to locate the exact folder. Just enter in both… If you are attached to your window layouts and overview, look here how to backup/transfer them. Or use this chance to get rid of some stuff you don’t really need anymore 😃 ---

yep that’s absolutely not stupid… i’ll do that. Thx fior the tip 🙂 Finally, I’d be interested to have an idea of about how many ppl run Eve under any linux flavor… I’m sure that’s not a so negligible and can even imagine we could have a surprise on that ---

TY, But it diddnt report in game as nvidia, using this command… On a brighter note, Lutris DID finally work as of one hour ago!! still testing!! With NVIDIA graphics and a nice performance boost! ---

To be fair, it would not surprise me if that just starts the _launcher_ with the nvidia GPU and then the launcher does not know about the GPU. ---

Salut, j’ai le même problème depuis le dernier patch il y a quelques jours. J’ai réinstallé le jeu mais c’est différent et wine apparaît maintenant comme un dossier nouveau dans ./eve. Il y a deux ans, je me suis connecté au jeu via la plateforme de eve pour Linux et en apparence, ce n’est plus possible maintenant. ---

Mafrelou Picq, I cannot be absolutely sure about that but if you use the eve university guide provided package, it seems it is almost dead now and will probably not run the game anymore. Further the wine version provided with this bundle is now somehow old, and it is better installing at least the version 7 of wine I think, and then install from the latest windows installer ---

The same thing happened to me 2 days ago, I removed evelauncher 1747682, downloaded the newest windows installer, and used bottles. I reinstall EVE as a “bottle” it works great now it all took about 2 hours to get back up and running.

Just wanna chip in here to say I only got it working be creating a fresh wineprefix and reinstalling Eve from the latest Windows launcher. I tried vigorously to make my old installation work, but to no avail. I do, however, have much improved performance now that I also got a much newer DXVK verison. Remember to back up your cache folder. Mine was installed in a weird path in my old wineprefix, just find it with `find -type d -name EVE` and backup the folder named something like `c_eve_sharedcache_tq_tranquility`. Now, just create a fresh wineprefix, remember to install corefonts, and run the installer. Start your chars and `rsync` the contents of your backup. Voila! ---

Proton 5.0-10 is based on Wine 5 but isn’t Wine 5 verbatim. Distro repos are not a good source for upstream software, try the _stable_ source on WineHQ. ---

Real pro’s roll their own distro. Wonder how the Gentoo crowd is doing compiling Eve. In b4 people still claim kernel devs don’t break user space. ---

Set _winecfg_ for the prefix to Windows 10 to get the installer to work on Wine. Irony is, their mininum requirements to the game is Windows 7 but the installer needs Windows 10. Take that as a hint, Windows 7 is likely to be cut sometime in the future like DX9. I had a situation where the installer needed W10 prefix configuration and the launcher needed W7 configured in the prefix, now it works with W10 on both.
