Linux Steam Launcher - Game asks for login details, doesn't accept EVE account credentials

Vanguard Bug Reporting
6

Just forwarding a workaround from Discord. I’ve tested it, and it works for me :slight_smile:

  • Go to your Steam library,

  • Add non-steam game,

  • /path/to/steam/steamapps/compatdata/8500/pfx/drive_c/CCP/EVE/eve-vanguard/live/WindowsClient/start_protected_game.exe,

  • Right-click > Properties,

  • Rename to “EVE Vanguard” to help maintain what little sanity you’ll have left by the end of this.,

The next steps will have to be repeated every so often. Repeat when you’re no longer able to launch Vanguard from what you just made

  • Start EVE Online,

  • Start EVE Vanguard from the launcher,

  • Open a terminal while you wait,

  • When you get to the login screen in EVE Vanguard, run ps aux | grep vanguard,

  • Find the entry containing “EVEVanguardClient-Win64-Shipping.exe”,

  • Copy EVERYTHING after “.exe” from this entry,

  • Go back to the “EVE Vanguard” you just made in Steam,

  • Paste everything you copied into Launch Options,

  • Close the Shortcut window you were just editing and quit the EVE Vanguard client you just kept running,

  • Launch EVE Vanguard from Steam
