Xubuntu latest (AMD CPU, AMD GPU), Ubuntu LTS (Intel CPU, Nvidia GPU) on both PCs. Tried Proton versions 7, 8, 9, Experimental. UPD: deleting /mnt/WD1TB/SteamLibrary/steamapps/common/Eve Online/app-1.10.0/ helped

Also same via Lutris. Running an older installer on the prefix works to get in. Trying to run that older version directly from appdata “works” but nukes my logins. The log file for the new launcher version stops directly after these lines: 2025-05-08 13:48:52.576 app info: [migrations] R…

Same here - no dice under Linux today :frowning:

The same. The launcher does not start after the update. ALT Workstation K11 (Nemorosa)

Same but I was able to get in using the old version which is stored at $WINEPREFIX/drive_c/users/your_user/AppData/Local/eve-online/app-1.9.4/eve-online.exe

Same here. Thaks for nuking my game… again…

Just delete the folder app-1.10.0 and it’ll automatically use the older one (1.9.4). If you’re a doofus like me and manage to nuke your entire EVE install (thanks Steam!), you can download the old launcher from https://launcher.ccpgames.com/eve-online/release/win32/x64/eve-online-1.9.4-full.nupkg

Confirmed, worked for me rm -rf ~/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/Eve\ Online/app-1.10.0 Not sure how long it’ll last though. We’ll we now need to delete app-1.10.0 each time CCP updates launcher in steam? Until problem fixes itself (if it’s gonna) Edits: typos

[image] andrei haiducul: automatically use the older one Maybe but it will download new version as soon as i start it and it will be updated after next restart. Probably we should wait for CCP fix. Oh they are too busy with their new games!

It’s probably better to not delete game from steam and reinstall. According to steamdb this patch deleted app-1.9.4 completely. So if you just download the game you probably won’t even have it. You’re lucky if you have older version locally
