OS: Xubuntu 20.04 Launcher version: https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1747682.tar.gz Since last patch on march 29, 2022, the launcher downloads patches does not show login name nor any button to start the game plays without end the loading animation in laucher (the dots animation) Cach…

Can confirm same issue on Debian 11 also using XFCE I have been using this setup successfully for some time but am now just getting the dots moving themselved about. Tried removing HOME/.eve HOME/.local/CCP and re-extracting the launcher in various combinations and still getting the same issue.

Tried again after DT, still the same. With no support for linux from ccp and (for the moment) little interest in the subject, I will at least for now have to put my eve career on hold.

Obligatory “Works on my machine”. Wine 7 *stable branch Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / Mint 20 LTS Desktop environment shouldn’t matter as we use XDG on most and Wine uses prefixes. Try setting your WINEPREFIX it to Windows 7 compatibility using winecfg tool? Installer needed Windows 10 compatibility but th…

sorry, I have no idea how I should set WINEPREFIX to Windows 7. wine is included in the .eve map, but wincfg is not able to run.

well … thank you for the link, but … I don’t see something I can install, sudo apt install winecfg is not something that is available. Trying to install winehq-stable end up in depcendency problems I can not solve, like dbus-sessions-bus which sends me down a rabithole of things it can’t install…

So you’re not running on Wine, Eve is a Windows game, that requires Wine, or something based on Wine. Not sure how you’re running it without some kind of Windows compatibility subsystem. Perhaps consider Steam and Proton (customised Valve’s version of Wine). Alternatively if you are unable to use …

OK, so sorry for the “it’s working for me” on my side so as a reference point: Kubuntu 20.04. Wine 7.5~focal-1 (i.e. the dev version packaged for Ubuntu). winecfg to run as Windows10. Launcher version 2023444 (updated a couple of days ago) I don’t recall having to load anything else in particul…

If I got it correct, Terak Romaller and Emotional Support Clown, you both installed wine yourself and run the eve program intended for windows ? As I said in my opening post, I use https://binaries.eveonline.com/evelauncher-1747682.tar.gz . The instructions were found here, and I only ever did the…

Perhaps their *side project" launcher tarball isn’t being updated as fast. I just went with the official Windows installer running on Wine (or Proton) and that works on Ubuntu based distros. Proton is pretty much self contained in Steam (every game is their own prefix), so that should work on many m…
