Well after quite som time, testing, experimenting I have got my loved EVE back going again. It took quite some work but here is my way of getting Crucible 1.5.2 running under wine.
First – you need a 1.4 version of wine.
So i removed my old version, downloaded and installed the lastes one from wine ppa. A small not – the latest one is called wine1.3 but is actually 1.4.
1 |
sudo apt-get install wine1.4 |
Then you need to start a new wine install. Move you old wine directory aside (you will copy the game clients back later on)
1 |
mv .wine .wine_old |
Install – with winetricks
1 |
winetricks corefonts vcrun2005 vcrun2008 |
Download and install xml parser from here
http://download.cnet.com/Microsoft-XML-Parser-MSXML-3-0-Service-Pack-7-SP7/3000-7241_4-10731613.html
And install it with
1 |
wine msiexec /i msxml3.msi |
make shure you get wine set to be XP – ie8 install will not work without this (this is actually mostly needed for my StarTrek Online but also gave me sound back – in Startrek Online)
1 2 3 |
winetricks vcrun2010 winetricks ie8 winetricks d3dx9 |
To get pathing work you have to set the following librarirs to native, builtin and to run you have to set them back to builtin, native (a bit of pain, but it works)
1 2 3 4 |
msvcr100 msvcr90 msvcr80 msvcr |
Now move back your CCP directory with all the clients:
1 |
mv ~/.wine_old/drive_c/Program\ Files\CCP ~/.wine/drive_c/Program\ Files |
You should now be able to run you client (after changing librarirs with winecfg of course).
Happy playing
