EVE Launcher for Linux

Sounds like missing graphic drivers for i386.

Confirm sounds like missing i386 bits, missing corefonts, or winecfg not set to XP.

May be it will be helpful for someone:

I am having issues with qt as noted in the Troubleshooting section. However, I can’t seem to get past that.
ubuntu 18.04 LTS.

The launcher ran and patched/installed the client. The authentication (adding accounts) works. Then when I click the play button for an account, nothing happens.

So after spending a lot of time off Eve I decided I wanted to get back into game today, yes I know that following the suggested ways to patch and install is the generally best approach but after getting to launcher to do its thing and download the updates and this was ofc after downloading Eve for the 2nd or 3rd time in about 2 years and the launcher showing up, then disappearing without asking for accounts or anything I am a little bit concerned that maybe the forums are not exactly up to date on the latest build or I am doing it wrong. Oh and I did attempt to get the correct stuff before I launched the launcher but I am left wondering if I missed a step? Any pointers I am missing? I am on the latest Mint version

You should find pointers in the log output.

I’m assuming that you’ve tried it with the Linux-native launcher. You can also try to only go with the Windows version of it all. It should require the least amount of effort to get EVE running. See here:

The launcher ran and patched/installed the client. The authentication (adding accounts) works. Then when I click the play button for an account, nothing happens. Can someone help me?

Which wine version do you have installed? Please don’t use the wine version which comes with the launcher because she is totally outdated and no more usable. It seems, that wine is hanging somewhere. Have a look at UniWiki how to setup the linux launcher.

Or maybe you want to try my latest install script, which make all the nasty things like downloading, creating directories and launcher, setting up wine for eve and so on.

Latest Install Script

I cannot test it for myself because my pc are gone for some weeks (cpu and/or mb broken) and i have atm only my ten years old rig working, which cannot launch eve anymore (only a single-core cpu and eve needs at minimum double-core).

Finally I started game, but after starting game in 10 sec I got this error. Who knows what does it mean?

If your installed wine version are older than 3.20 then you must with winecfg the used Windows Version set to “Windows XP”, default setting are “Windows 7”. Older wine versions have this xaudio2_7 bug which was fixed with version 3.20. When you use winecfg don’t forget the variable WINEPREFIX so that the right wine prefix are used. Have a look at Some Explanations. In your case should the used command be

env WINEPREFIX=~/.eve/wineenv winecfg

to set the right Windows Version for EVE Online.

I changed it to Windows XP and it didn’t work, I have the same error

Maybe you have used the wrong wine prefix. I have my site updated to make it clearer, how to use the latest installer, which i have used on the screenshot two posts before.

Update: Hmpf, found another glitch in the launcherscript which prevent the correct wine setting.
A corrected version from the installer are uploaded and should work now. If you have used the installer before please reinstall the new version and set the Windows Version to “Windows XP” with evewinecfg (in the application menu called as EVE Configuration).

Tried to follow https://wiki.eveuniversity.org/Installing_EVE_on_Linux guide.
Launcher starts, i can authenticate but nothing happens when i click play button… what can i do?

Yes. Thank you.

Hi, I have this very same issue. Found any workaround ? Is it due to the (french?) locale?

The evelauncher version which you have used is quite old and not functional anymore. Please use the newest version https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1514997.tar.gz .

The UniWiki needs some update. :wink:

Thanks!
So far I’ve used Q4Wine and Lutris. All unsuccessful on Pop!OS 19.04.
Looks like Linux is not on demand from EVE players?
Q4Wine and native windows launcher works, but sometimes I get black screen and resource is loading…

Nice to hear that but using windows launcher in wine is not my department. I’m using the linux launcher only and have written some scripts for him which are described in another thread here. Works for me and others so i do not need the windows launcher.

I am getting this error after the last launcher update.
