The path should be "/usr/local/portage/games-rpg/eveonline/" and not "/usr/local/portage/games-rpg/eveonline/eveonline-000062-r1/".

Saw your ebuild replys after downloading the offical installer. Going to install it that way, but Good Luck. Eve is a nice game.

I currently have both wine (git) and offical cedega client (installing the last atm), cheacking out witch works best for me, I got the space for the clients so why not :roll:

Trying to install the official client, but it stops working near the end of the install (I think it's near the end anyway)

Yes, I have dbus-python installed.

I found a post on the EVE forums that mentioned creating a cedega group and adding your user to it. I tried that, and now I no longer get that error, but it hangs with the CPU at 99% (same problem mentioned in the EVE post: http://myeve.eve-online.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=633487&page=1#13)

OK, some weird stuff happened now. I had run "eve" in one terminal, it hung, so I hit ctrl-c.

Then I opened up a second terminal, ran "runGUI" on my own, and the GUI popped up. I tried to play EVE, but nothing happened, and again my CPU jumped to 99%. I saw in the description that you needed to run it in winxp mode, so I went to the options, set it to winxp (from win98 which is what it was at by default). Then I hit play again, nothing happened. I saw the stop button, hit that, and then some text appeared in the first terminal mentioned above, and EVE started in full-screen mode.

Now it works by running "eve" or by running runGUI and hitting play. What happened doesn't make sense to me but I guess changing the "winxp" option is what fixed it, maybe?

I haven't played though, I only made it to the login screen. I haven't resubscribed yet, I was only trying this because I intend to in a couple weeks after finals are over.

edit: yes, I am in the games group. I was also still in the cedega group when trying what I described above, I don't know if things would have been different if I wasn't in it.

perhaps... CCP did say they were cutting support for 9x/2k a while back. i'll confirm over the next couple days.

cheers

edit: yeah, it's not the games group either... strange.

i have no idea whats the problem for me here.... i am using the ebuild mentioned earlier in this thread and i am able to install it without any problems.

when i run the tests from the "eve -config" they all pass. but starting the game with eve just gives me a blank screen....remembered me of the old problem i had running eve with wine.... i couldnt solve that in the past even with putting the arial.ttf file into the proper directory. then i realize wtf is going on? isnt eve supposed to run in a cedega enviroment? why is it starting through wine again?

bobber205 · Guru Joined: 23 Aug 2006 Posts: 561 Location: Oregon

I thought that cedega was a custom build of wine?

yeah but wtf is that blank screen shit....?

i wouldnt consider myself experienced dealing with wine issues but i followed like every thread about it and searched everywhere and nothing worked... apparently i am the only one with that problem....

i've cancelled my account. i'm tired of using an out-of-date and patched version of wine... and their client is such crap that i can't even undock without it crashing. the GM's refuse to dock my ship, and i can't log back in to dock it myself. tired of all the hassles and lackluster support by CCP. until such a time arises when their client will run on my PC, i'm gone.

and no, you can't have my stuff... it's going to sit in oblivion. :roll:

Isn't this the old arial.ttf error. A font is missing in wine/cedega/whatever.

http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=7342&iTestingId=11814

As far as I remember I needed to download the arial.ttf somewhere in the net.

A little bit disappointing is the fact, that this isn't a linux client but an emulation with wine/cedega. And it has even the same bugs.

oh ATI..

Yeah ATI is specifically mentioned as not supported.

One day they'll work out the kinks so it works flawlessly for everyone.. don't think that's today though.

On a side note, Trinity:Classic seems to be running fine for me, perhaps even slightly faster then Revelations 2. Only issue I had, was for some odd reason my it was trying to start with the eve-000061 engine, when there's already the eve-000071 engine..The older engine would give me just the splash screen, then go black and hang, just went into config swapped it to the eve-000071 engine, and started up fine).

They claim they'll have support for Trinity:Premium early next year, I can't wait... (I might even *gasp* boot to my windoze partition, first time in 6-8 months, just to see the pretty graphics engine.)

Though certainly lots o' bugs, but not limited to just the Cedega client.

Anybody has success with Trinity? Any clues for wine (.50)?

The game works fine, however I have some really strange background sounds and keeps on breaking up in between. Any ideas?

I gave up on the ebuild.

Clueless attempt to do the only obvious thing:

I can help with that problem. What you have to do is take all the files that extract from the tarball and replace them where they need to be in your root directory. You can copy them all in one foul swoop if you know how to with the terminal, or you can do what I had to do and copy them one by one while logged on as root in your WM.

I am having a bit of a different problem, and I have no idea how to fix it. I installed dbus-python and now I get a huge error message when I try to run eve. This is what I see:
