Hi all, I just made a fresh install of Pop!\_os which is based on ubuntu 18.04. Installed wine 3.0 64bit version, installed winetricks and did all the necesarry stuff to get that running. Then I downloaded the native launcher from Snorlax, extracted it, chmod it and double clicked evelauncher.sh, nothing happens. When I open evelauncher.sh in terminal, I see the cursor flickering, but nothing happens, no text, nothing, just a blinking cursor. Any clues anybody? ---

Hi Gharim Turen, thanx! In what order did you do the steps? and which versions are you using? Do you use Pop!\_os 18.04? nvidia or intel iso? Which Wine version did you use? Did you also installed winetricks? And have you added the necessary libraries? cheers ---

Gents, do you have any tips to tweak the game for a better FPS? With my previous game I had a FPS of 60, with all textures to the max, now I have only 30. ---

> [@Gharim\_Turen](#): > > Maybe some regressions in the developer version? Not necessarily. Maybe WINE 3.9 is too new, nor will the lack of an official Ubuntu 18.x version for WINE on WineHQ be helping. However, I pull WINE, gcc and a whole lot of other sources from their repositories daily and compile these whenever I see some important fixes coming in. But Iā€™m not seeing any regressions with WINE 3.9. Itā€™s pretty smooth sailing for a while now. ---

Without information about your hardware its difficult. If you can live with just run EVE with dx9 enabled which are done in the launcher settings. ---

There is a bunch of things you can do: - use DirectX9 instead of DirectX11 - lower graphics settings in game - switch to a light-weight desktop such as Xfce4 - disable any fancy window compositor (goes for Xfce4, too) - set the environment variable `WINEDEBUG=-all` to disable all debug information - for Nvidia one can set the environment variable `__GL_THREADED_OPTIMIZATIONS=1` for a possible gain - setting ā€œCoolbitsā€ in xorg.conf for Nvidia to enable over-clocking for the graphics card (dangerous and especially now itā€™s summer [on the nothern hemisphere] not a good idea) For DirectX11 should you try to switch to DXVK, which is still young and in development. However, it implements DirectX11 over Vulkan instead of OpenGL and provides both, an fps boost as well as a big reduction in CPU usage and power draw. And make sure you didnā€™t just have the VSync setting in-game set to _Interval Two_, because this will force it to 30fps. ---

Hmm for DXVK he needs WINE 3.5 or newerā€¦ oh i forgot WINE 3.6 is in the repo named as wine-development. And then he need a newer graphics driver, Ubuntu offers only 390.48 for nvidia. If he will fiddle with PPAā€™s (what he also do with Pop!\_OS šŸ˜‰ ) then gives a newer driver, 396.24 but inofficial. I dont know wat Valve uses for her SteamOS as DE i thought it was gnome2 or something like mateā€¦ ---

It doesnā€™t do any over-clocking on its own, but you have to enter increased values into the boxes before it has an effect. I donā€™t see any EVE in your profile by the way. ---

I know, have used Coolbits ā€œ24ā€ in the past, the Geforce 6600GT was so f\*ckin hot. The last rule enables GL\_THREADED\_OPTIMIZATIONS without conditions. No problem just make a rule for exefile.exe as procname. You should have `nvidia-settings -l` executed by autostart from xfce4 or in your .xsessionrc which enables the rules on sessionstart. I have it set in the .xsessionrc ---

It depends what you have done. If you have Ubuntu updated from version 17.xx or earlier to 18.04 and have used Snorlax Launcher before then fails the launcher because the locations of the libraries libcrypto.so.1.0.0 and libssl.so.1.0.0 have changed between the Ubuntu versions. If you have Ubuntu 18.04 complete new installed and Snorlax Launcher too, then he misses the two libraries complete and you must set these links manually in the launcher directory. ---
