Can’t seem to get this to run properly on linux, through the EVE Steam entry. Have not tried the standalone launcher.

Edit: Found some instructions that have seemed to work for some, straight from the source:

- [https://www.easy.ac/en-US/support/articles/error-eac-is-not-installed](https://www.easy.ac/en-US/support/articles/error-eac-is-not-installed)

But even in the Wine/Proton sandbox, using the prefix and cmd, with the intended commands does install something, but I still can’t get past the login screen. Added `PROTON_EAC_ENABLE=1` to the launch options, and `PROTON_EAC_ENABLE=/directory` didn’t work either.
