Yeah but that KB is probably for something important that will break if its missing.
{citation required}
The last launcher update is causing my windows 7 machine to complain about missing DLL’s, probably for QT, but if I ignore them it still loads.
Which linux are you using, I couldn’t see it being mentioned above? If I keep getting DC’d from EVE I might as well have a go at getting a install of EVE working on a VM.
It won’t be pretty, I’ve tried it, it works, at powerpoint performance unless you pass through the GPU, but that breaks the isolation (also why QubeOS doesn’t pass it through).
Getting functionality in a VM that you can wash, rinse and repeat on saves time before doing the same on a physical machine. I have a laptop in front of me with a RTX 2060 and an i7 and all I do is play EVE on it, so I am wondering why do I care about having windows on it.
Is it any more difficult to get EVE running from a steam instance, than just getting the tarball of the launcher and adding in a steam account?
For details on that KB update (KB3118401) you can find it here → Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows
It’s basically a backport of the Universal CRT dependency in Windows 10.
If you’re still hanging onto W7, you’re running out of threads to grasp onto, rugpull is coming. Yes, that is a doom prediction.
I am probably dumb, maybe frustration is overruling my brain but either advises @Anderson_Geten and @Emotional_Support_Clown … I am honest, I am completely lost.
I would be so grateful of someone might write down a guide for dummies like myself… it’s the whole day I am trying, neither steam give me satisfaction…
Just ignore that clown, he is trolling you.
press the “ignore” button , as I wrote.
I did, I also messed up seriously but i recovered…
now tho I encountered another problem:
After ignored (what I found was just a damn icon pixmap) was the time to run the launcher:
wine: Unhandled exception 0x40000015 in thread 2b at address 429C7CCD (thread 002b), starting debugger...
These are the only information I have, as the debugger stopped working and didn’t delivered more infos
Thank for your support Anderson, I mean it!
Update
added repository for i386, installed more dependencies as adviced by
How to get out of Wine Dependency hell – GloriousEggroll's Blog
some magic happened: finally
WINEDEBUG=-all WINEPREFIX=$HOME/wineprefixes/eve/ wine C:\\\\Eve\\eve.exe
doesn’t return errors but:
wine: configuration in L"/home/stuffnex/wineprefixes/eve" has been updated.
AWESOME!
Last step
In $HOME/wineprefix/eve/drive_c/EVE simple as $ wine eve.exe
Back in game!
Huge thanks to the incredibly valuable support from @Anderson_Geten and all the eve community.
Definitely no thanks to CCP and devs to make my gaming experience a nightmare with a sick consistency.
For who is catching up now here the original Anderson Geten’s post for reference:

You won’t need that once they purge 32-bit out of Wine completely in the future as they are thunking calls and modules converted to PE. The purge has begun already.
Currently have no issues on Mint or PopOS. Using latest (stable) WINE build with DVXK via Lutris. Usually when I get launcher issues I just fiddle with the wine versions and restart everything, then eventually it works. Can highly recommend popOS for EVE btw, it’s as smooth as butter.
Confirming that legacy linux launcher finally broke today; was able to use the EVE windows installer under the same wineprefix and symlink my old data/config directories for seamless migration.
You were on borrowed time anyway.

changelog at Linux launcher key details
The legacy linux launcher, and all things from the eve uni page, have been horrendously broken for years. The fact you undocked at all the last 4 years is a miracle and proof of your amazing skills.
Can’t you bypass the launcher and call exefile.exe with your ssotoken, refreshtoken as command line parameters?
I thought Linux users were techie programmy hacky geeks with beards. Yarrrrr.
Not working for me… and Im not buying a separate box to play this game… since 2007 feels is the end of it…
find your instructions confusing can you copy the commands like you type in console?
