Well this is a fine mess you’ve created this time. A heads up would have been convenient.
I could have saved a few dollars. Its a good thing i didn’t go with a full years subscription as i normally do.
It beats me why you’d support wine for mac and not wine for Linux. Is it that difficult to program?
Perhaps you have lost to much talent.
For me, windows is simply out of the question. Mac is just plain expensive.
So after 17 years of being podded butt naked into the expanse of the universe of EVE, it is perhaps time to bail out, since I’ve been podded out of EVE entirely with no thanks to your inability and or unwillingness to support the Linux OS. Dem’s the brakes i guess.
The linux launcher that is linked earlier in this thread still works. I used it to fix my borked install. now i just gotta figure out how to add that folder to my $PATH so i can launch it from dmenu instead of having to use a terminal.
That’s the launcher I’ve been using all along. It doesn’t work anymore after I upgraded Ubuntu from 18 to 20. Even after reinstalls, and Lutris and Steam installs. None work anymore.
Lutris is working, Im still playing. And the launchdarkly.pyd file (not correctly spelled) if you copy and set to read only is also allowing me to keep playing. I always check the TQ folder to make sure its there, and then I run the clients, and I run 5 and no problems.
Small issues yes, but it plays.
Lutris with DXVK+Esync, with wine staging, and dont update the launcher. And then do the thing with the pyd, so that its set to read only and you will keep playing. Just remember to be on alert when bringing up the launcher so it doesnt update… (unless someone can confirm that updating the launcher is finally possible). I’m on ubuntu mate 18.04.
Thank you for the comments. I can confirm copying the ‘launchdarkly_client.pyd’ up a directory level (out of bin64) and chmod 444 has worked fine for me on two systems running Arch with Lutris and wine-staging 6.17
I havent updated the Lutris launcher so I could keep playing, I wonder if its safe to update it now. But currently is not working. It was working fine on monday night, yesterday it didnt work and not today either.
I fired up the linux launcher yesterday, to try and do PI, I even let the launcher update, and it worked, just too much CPU usage, but it works.
I’m going to risk it and update the launcher… see if it works or not, if not I guess I’ll have to redo the installation… but it wasnt working anyways…
PS: Same behaviour lol. The icon on ‘systray’ now behaves differently, it doesnt show the about or other things as it used to. I guess I’ll wait and see if any other ideas come up, meanwhile… I’m going to try that other prefix with dxvk… I just need to find the command
Decided to risk it and install it on my working linux launcher, thinking that if it activates as it should it will be easy to notice the difference. I ran this launcher yesterday and with 5 clients CPU usage was between 80 and 85%. So, since Lutrix with dxvk gets me 50% usage with 5 clients, I think I should get a similar number.
However, I ran the command, Im unsure if I setup the path correctly, but the terminal gave me an error… said “setup_dxvk: command not found”, so nothing happened.
I thought maybe the problem was the path I used, but tried again with a different path and it said the same thing.
Tried first with /home/user/.eve/ and this time with .eve only. Both times it said command not found.
It dawned on me… that setup_dxvk was something needed to install lol, so I did a search and there’s a file to download. I suppose I didnt see a reference to downloading this file prior to try it
Im confused, I read that I would need to copy/overwrite the included 64bit dll’s… the only place I found similar named files are on the .eve/wine/lib/wine/fakedlls , do I have to put them here?
I think I’ll hold on this untill given more ideas/help
From what I’ve been able to gather, I can download setup_dxvk from the GITHUB and all I got from there is a setup_dxvk.sh with 2 folder with DLL’s for 32 and 64bit, as far as I can tell this wouldnt work with the command shared.
Then, decided to make a search for setup_dxvk and it seems theres another file I was able to download, but all it was its a script it seems, named dxvk_setup.1 and I did try to modify the given command from earlier and rename the file so that it fits with this and it gave me an error command not found.
The command as you put it, but with /home/user/.eve as path to prefix gave me “no such file or directory”, Had to add .sh so that it said other things, first /home/user/.eve not a valid wine prefix, then I tried with /home/user/.eve/wine but keeps saying not a valid wine prefix.
