[Mega-Thread]: "The Eve Linux Tutorial Thread" (To Be Updated!)

To shout out a thread of old; Wine and Eve Online work together; but you got to know what you’re looking for, for prerequisites you will need two tutorials (Located at bottom; but give me a chance)

Since Snorlax’s tar.gz went down and Snorlaxs’ left..
New Linux Thread; Unofficial Launcher ! Use Ethically Please.

The best advice I have is to remember the Jammyfish or Mcnster tutorial..

//let it update itself and then login

17* [If still not working] ): Terminal [Without Quotations]:
“winetricks corefonts vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010”

  1. wine EveLauncher-nnnnnnnnn.exe (Or wine Eve-Online-Setup.exe and run with the desktop application – allowing launch through the right click menu)

  2. *Remember to check your winecfg to Windows 10; and try to start the game.

  3. ** Let Eve Online Patch/Download Updates OR ELSE RISK CRASHING. (5m timeout with character selection screen open) **

Some settings are in-game in the launcher; for instance DirectX12 to DirectX11.

And if I haven’t scared you off yet*; you should have a working eve client in behind your Linux Distro of choice [I choose Ubuntu or Manjaro XFCE in this time period of this post working from a desktop launcher.

With this tutorial I was able to make it work via wine EveOnline; Very recently.

*Winetricks corefonts and other relation also recommended

Any honest criticism is appreciated; I took my time making this tutorial up.
Any criticisms, comments or concerns can be directed here. I may not be overnight in forums, but I’m there in-game.
Message me through the forums, or in Eve Online for questions;

.. Now that my birthday’s over with and the hangover’s all gone;
Enjoy everyone; as I have been researching this one for a while.
I figured I’d scientifically post my notes for the next guy over.

I am hoping I have support for doing this; as it was my own project to see if I could see it scientifically run via linux and work well.

Upvote this if it helps you; I’ll edit if there are any new concerns created over time.

Edit Reasoning
Edit 1 : Punctuality and Spelling Mistakes.

I don’t see vulkan and proton being handled in your tutorial? I suppose you then don’t realize the full potential for your machine and have very low perfomance?

I use nvidia drivers and wine-staging.

For wine-install i last used - could be again updated:
winetricks corefonts msdelta vkd3d vcrun2022 dxvk2030

I run EVE with an option for DirectX12 crash after the GPU update as:
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
