Das Licht,
I had not been completely deleted all Eve files. I did re-install Eve after manually removing all of the files (~/Library etc…). NO JOY.
To be clear, I did not have this problem until I upgraded to the MacOS version 10.15 Catalina.
While I have tried various Launcher settings, this time I used ‘Version Type’ = Beta, ‘Run clients with’ = [logging, DX9, 64 bit]. ‘Use dev versions’ checked. ‘Dev branch’ = Latest. ‘Wine verion’ = winehq-binary.
This was my first time with DX9 enabled (seems weird for a Mac).
LogLite shows no obvious errors and a successful download and launch but the client is just a total black screen. All of this information and log files have already been reported to CCP mid-June.
EVE Launcher runs, but won’t launch the game client. I am getting the following error from the Launcher:
Could not find file /Users/MYUSERNAME/Library/Application Support/EVE Online/p_drive/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/SharedCache//wine/bin/…
message gets cut off as it’s too long for the window - but I did notice that it’s apparently looking in the SharedCache//wine directory (yes that is two slashes in a row) when it likely should be looking in SharedCache/wine directory instead…
isn’t there a way to run the client directly? without the EVE Launcher?
Exactly the same goes for me. Yesterday, everything was fine. I did get the latest patch today and now I get the error message (looked for it in the launcher log):
showError(‘Client launch failure’, ‘Could not find file /Users//Library/Application Support/EVE Online/p_drive/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/SharedCache//wine/bin/wine64’, 10)
I did take a look into that folder and did find some files: notepad, regedit, wine, winecfg, […]. But no wine64
Then I deinstalled the EVE Launcher App, deleted the directories ~/Library/Application Support/CCP and ~/Library/Application Support/EVE Online
Afterwards I downloaded the EVE Launcher, put it into /Applications, started the Launcher. The Launcher had to download the full EVE client files. I logged in, then I tried to start EVE Online, but the same error appeared again.
I took another look into the […]/EVE/SharedCache//wine/bin/ directory, but still no wine64 file.
Now I am a little bit lost, I never tried to start EVE online via command line, but I do guess that might be possible.
Tried to use the wine64 from the WineHQ Stable distribution (I downloaded the tar archive). But the client just dies unexpectedly. I guess, CCP does do something with the WINE Distro to get its EVE client to work
You can change the option for running the game client as a 64 it application or not , i remove the mark in the launcher option and it work for the moment they find a issu for the 64bit
I also uninstalled. reinstalled, but the fact, I think, is if some dev presses the forward slash button twice when coding the launcher, its never going to find that path…
Same problem here. I tried even a complete reinstall including removing EVE and CCP folders under Application Support. Didn’t help. The only thing that works is launching the game as 32bit application.
Im having a lot of issues with the 64 bit client on my mac (MBpro Later 2015) OS Mojave. But the main issue is that is freezes my entire computer when starting up the client (not launcher) and I have to hard boot the laptop. Anyone else with this issue?
Update: Now my client is crashing/freezing up as well while playing on the 64 bit version. Seems like the 32 bit is working (with less issues than the 64 bit). Will stick to the 32 bit for now again and wait till cap devs get on this.
Are the devs even looking and reading this thread because the lack of a single message from a ccp dev that says “we are looking into it” is somewhat concerning. Basic communication goes a long way.
My Mac issue is different than those I am reading above. I get error message “Error Could not copy files for Tranquility” when I select an account to launch from launcher. I get the same error message with new 64 bit and when I change settings back to 32 bit. Support ticket and launcher logs submitted with zero response on what to do or status.
I am running Macbook Pro Retina mid-2015 Mojave OS 10.14.6
If anyone has a solution or workaround, I would love to hear it, thanks!
I got the 64 Bit Client to work. At least partially. In the EVE Launcher in the menu in the menu bar I selected the preferences. In the preference pane I selected a different wine version in the wine options. At my EVE Launcher “default” was set and I turned it into something like wine-4.15-Stage-winehq. Then the Launcher downloaded some wine distribution files. I changed back to “default” and after that the wine64 file was there.
