Just confirming like others have already done that this Wine patch: https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/199525 fixes the launcher.
I am now running wine-staging 6.2-1 with the above patch, and the launcher is not causing any trouble.
For anyone on Arch who needs instructions on how to patch wine here’s the basics:
- Install the arch source tool:
pacman -S asp
- Go to an empty directory
- Download wine PKGBUILD and associated files:
asp checkout wine-staging
- Open the PKGBUILD file in an editor
- Add the patch file to the end of the sources list (replace lines 14-18 with the below):
source=(https://dl.winehq.org/wine/source/6.x/wine-$_winever.tar.xz{,.sign}
"https://github.com/wine-staging/wine-staging/archive/v$_pkgbasever/wine-staging-v$_pkgbasever.tar.gz"
30-win32-aliases.conf
wine-binfmt.conf
"https://source.winehq.org/patches/data/199525")
- Add the following on line 131 (after the wine-staging patches section):
# apply custom patch 199525 to fix EVE Online launcher issue
pushd $srcdir/$pkgname
patch --forward --strip=1 --input="../../199525"
popd
- Build and install with
makepkg -sri
