Hello!
Trying to install EvE Online on Ubuntu 24.04 using Wine. I have the Wine 10 stable version installed and also have the latest Winetricks. Searched the internet which led me to install the following with Winetricks: Dotnet 7, vcrun2022 and vkd3d for DX12 support. When trying to install the game from the terminal it stops after half a minute into the installation. Can someone please help me with what to install or maybe even remove to make the game run with Wine please 
?
Isn’t using wine a bit dodgy for the electrics?

I’m guessing you don’t fancy using Steam then? Cos it would be done by now if you did.

I found that the best setup is 2 wines and followed by a coffee. It gives you the most appropriate Eve Online mood.

It is not that I do not like Steam. I used Steam before the renstallation of the OS that I just did. Moved to PortProton actually after failing with Wine. Just used the 10.11 develop and got a black box after seeing a EvE logo. Now I just need to know what I am doing wrong…
Wine 10.0 will not do. You need at least above 10.9 of devel or staging. I currently use wine devel 10.11 on debian 12 with nvidia drivers.
As for installation i last used - and i still run until it fails:
./winetricks corefonts msdelta vkd3d vcrun2022 dxvk2030
But this is outdated. Adapt to latest versions as you see in winetricks maybe.
I start eve like this - including workaround for DirectX12…possibly not needed on the latest vkd3d:
env WINEPREFIX=“/home/user/.wine” WINEESYNC=0 WINEFSYNC=0 VKD3D_CONFIG=force_raw_va_cbv wine C:\users\user\AppData\Local\eve-online\eve-online.exe
This is just the launch string from the EVE icon on the desktop with 3 options added.
Meybe the dev team create automatic & optimized installer in the future for lutris or another way.
