I have tried to work with CCP since after the Graphics Patch and today they finally get back with me and tell me that since my operating system is unsupported to go here to get help. I’m running Ubuntu with a 6600 graphics card and had zero problems playing at the highest graphics level until the patch.
It now flashes brilliant colors violently to the point of being unplayable. I hope there is someone that can help me here but at this point I’m currently considering moving on to another game. Which sucks because I really like this game. Any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you in advance.
Can’t help you exactly but want to give you some support. I run on debian 12, wine-staging and Nvidia, so unfortunately i don’t know about Radeon GPUs and their problems and solutions with EVE.
I had the problem not beeing able to login at all with DirectX12 and was able to fix this by giving an option to vkd3d-proton.
But this seems not to be your issue. Have you tried to switch EVE to DirectX11 in the launcher and run it this way?
If this doesn’t resolve it, does it work when switching the shader quality to medium or low?
I was running the game well untill this afternoon, I even played earlier this morning but now I cant. Anyways, to the point… like our friend earlier, try first going with Dx11… I myself had problems with DX12, some weird clouds on some combat sites, but DX11 works fine for me. Im running a Ryzen7 and a very old RX480, so you should be able to play well.
GPU speed issues will be a thing of the past, when Kernel 6.14.x is installed with the lastest wine version for it. They improved the speed by 150% ( not by 50, by 150%! )
I also have an RX 6600 and play Eve with dx12 via steam.
I had problems immediately after the “GPU Driven Pipeline” update (2 amdgpu crashes after 1 hour). But I was also using older versions at the time (Kernel 6.7.5).
I currently use the following and it works quite well for me:
## Hardware:
Memory: 32.0 GiB
Processor: Intel® Xeon® E-2246G × 12
Graphics: AMD Radeon™ RX 6600
## Software:
OS Name: Fedora Linux 41 (Workstation Edition)
GNOME Version: 47
Windowing System: Wayland
Kernel Version: Linux 6.13.7-200.fc41.x86_64
Steam: Proton 9.0.4
Mesa: 25.0.1
Otherwise I use the following things that shouldn’t make a big difference.
I use gamemode to set the cpu governor to “performance” while I play.
And I set the power profile of the gpu to 3D_FULL_SCREEN while playing (otherwise I use Power_SAVING):
$ cat /sys/class/drm/card1/device/pp_power_profile_mode | grep ':'
0 BOOTUP_DEFAULT :
1 3D_FULL_SCREEN*: <<==
2 POWER_SAVING :
3 VIDEO :
4 VR :
5 COMPUTE :
6 CUSTOM :
You have Xeon server hat home to play eve??? isn’t that a bit loud? usually a 2278G is powering one of my servers in my cluster at the science center 
I won’t have those at home, way to loud
I would like to point out that when I ran Fedora on my Chromebook, eve performance was horrendous compared with Windows 11 on the same machine (Asus CX3402).
I was getting the impression that Wayland was eating resources for breakfast.
Imho the E-2246G is a desktop/workstation CPU (has an igpu). The system is actually a normal desktop with bequit coolers and very quiet. The idle power consumption is also low. At that time (intel 9th gen.), I only wanted a CPU which supports ECC Ram (zfs) and of the “normal” intel i core cpus only the i3 had ecc ram support at that time. Apart from that, the cpu is actually comparable to an i7 from back then.
I am very happy with Fedora and wayland, but I also think that Fedora is not the best distro for gaming. For example, the youtuber A1RM4X (cachyos user) also had a few points: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bocbYSx-ANY&t=521s
But I honestly have no idea if you are better off with e.g. Norbara or Arch, because I have never tried that 
I found a lot of the original flavours are usually better (i.e. Debian) in terms of resource management (mainly ram) but you have to do a lot of the schlepping to get stuff set up as little works out of the box for anything beyond the basics. I would tend towards XFCE for my desktop as I find it the most stable and doesn’t need a lot of juice.
Last time I was doing the tour I was looking at things like Pop! os but found many of the distros were abandoned by their creators. I did run Fedora as my main and loved it for several years until I had a career change and couldn’t get the software I needed to run to play nice with it and had to leave. It does work, just craply.
If you haven’t fixed up your graphics issue yet, make sure to give mesa a version bump. It has gotten significantly better in recent years, but Ubuntu is quite renowned for shipping ancient crap. For radeon the kernel holds half the driver, mesa holds the other half. You should be able to bump up to version 25.0.2 pretty easily.
Check with glxinfo | grep mesa
Googles the Kisak PPA for easy mesa fixin.

My old gaming rig has a Xeon compatible socket because I thought I could upgrade when companies started flogging them on the used market.
However, in that generation, they were more power efficient with lower clock speeds than the one I already had.
