Please see SquirrelTemp Thread if you are having issues with missing drive space. While it only consumed 1 GB on my SSD others say it is eatting hundreds of GBs on their drives.
Note: From what I have tested this is not a Linux only issue or a Steam only issue as I have found the phantom folder in Windows as well.
Thus far I have not been able to get EVE Running on Lutris again.
Manages to get it running using Bottles after a few attempts and a few choice words
Just installed the game on Fedora 40/Lutris 0.5.16, had to do the same steps like a few months ago.
Install the launcher using Lutris 7.2 runner, it might take a few tries. look for the launcher logo and to populate the /AppData/Local with the launcher files (eve-online/app-1.3.3 or whatever launcher version is it.)
After that i had to fill the executable path in Lutris, …App/Data/Local/eve-online/eve-online.exe and the working directory.
Then i switched to a newest runner, wine-ge-8-26 and after 2-3 failed tries the launcher started and now it works consistently.
I got problems with older launchers and wine beyond 9.xincluding
but running
/~: sudo wine eve-online-latest+Setup.exe or
sudo wineconsole eve-online-latest+Setup.exe
and no issues (as in other post, I installed game on EXT4 partition, as NTFS did some strange things
I have my “eve-online-latest+Setup.exe” in my home directory where other config files are and I keep also other files renamed to their version numbers…just in case 
@ThutmosseII sorry, been away for a bit, enjoying summer weather here. Currently I am running this game between Manjaro and Xubuntu on the same box. This is to see, if there is a difference in the OS handling the game better. Performance on Manjaro is much better than the Ubuntu, at least on this machine. I will soon report my data on another thread, since this thread was created to discuss launcher issues.
Yes, I don’t do NTFS partitions unless I am testing Windows OS. Since I only own 1 legit copy of Windows 10, I only do test in Windows 10. I stick with EXT4 as well. I also have this game on a separate SSD that drive gets mounted by the fstab file.
I now dual boot either into the Manjaro or Xubuntu and run this game with;
Executable: env WINEPREFIX=“/home/john/.EVE” wine Z:\\\\media\\\\john\\\\Chamber\\\\EVE\\\\eve-online.exe --product=eve-online
Working Directory: /media/john/Chamber/EVE/app-1.4.3
Note: I have to keep on top of the working directory every so often to change (the app-1.4.3 part) version and revision folders. My default prefix is set to .EVE for this to avoid wiping out my .wine folder.
Wine version I am currently using is; 9.9 (stable) on Manjaro, this is downloaded by Marjaro’s settings and probably why it performs better. Xubuntu’s is 9.0 (stable) from the WineHQ download. Both are running Nvidia proprietary drivers.
After starting the launcher, I select my profile and shutdown the launcher after it says “Client is running” on the button. This saves a few CPU cycles and some RAM. Otherwise if you need the launcher running in the background, I would recommend more than 8 GB of RAM or having a sizable swap file available. The main reason for this need is the Launcher program is nothing more than a custom web browser itself swallowing up more memory and threads.
Hope that helps.
