Workarounds for Proton/Steam and Launcher 1.10.x

If you use Steam, there are at least three known workarounds for current issues with the Launcher v1.10.0 and v1.10.1 (not starting/crashing):

  1. try Proton Experimental

  2. try GE-Proton 10-3 (Glorious Eggroll)

  3. try to rollback to version 1.9.4, following this procedure:

# Find where your specific EVE installation is, and cd into there
# WARNING: this can and will change depending on where you Steam repository actually is
# It's up to you to find the correct directory! Don't just blindly copy'n'paste
# Ask around if you don't know how to locate (hint, hint) it

$ cd steamapps/common/Eve\ Online/
$ mkdir temp
$ cd temp
$ wget https://launcher.ccpgames.com/eve-online/release/linux/wine/eve-online-1.9.4-full.nupkg
$ unzip *.nupkg
$ cd ..
$ mkdir app-1.9.4
$ mv temp/lib/net45/* app-1.9.4/
$ mv eve-online.exe eve-online.exe.bak
$ chmod +x -R app-1.9.4/
$ cp app-1.9.4/eve-online_ExecutionStub.exe eve-online.exe
$ mv app-1.10.1/ .app-1.10.1.bak
$ mv app-1.9.4/ app-1.10.1

I tryed steam before and with app 1.10.1 and proton experminental it seems to run. Up until today it would say running and just go back to like you never hit play.
