So its time for Apocrypha 1.2 in EVE. This is the new version of EVE online that was released to day. So I hade to patch ofcuase. And with Wine and Linux its not allways that straight forward and easy.
First you cant use the normal new download in the client. It will not work. But thats not a problem. You can go into the EVE online site, Go to downloads patches and manually download the patch. The file anme for this new patch is evepremiumpatch86756-88517_m.exe.
And the you run this manually:
|
1 |
env WINEPREFIX="/home/xxx/.wine" padsp wine explorer /desktop=0,1280x1024 download/eve/evepremiumpatch86756-88517_m.exe |
This will start up wine in my home directory, and run wine with padsp (im running wine under pulseaudio).
And go thru the patch process. Then, as I am running 2 clients, I need to patch the other directory also, but thats just to run in one more time.
And onto start it up and check that its working. And the splashscreen comes up and nothing more – just a blank black screen. Dam – what to do. Checking the forums and see if anyone else has tis problem.
The first think I found on the forum was ofcuase this from CCP:

After the deployment of Apocrypha 1.2 there seems to be a problem for some users running EVE in Wine as well as some Windows users. The client will open to a black screen and crash if you try to interact with the escape menu. We at CCP are looking into the issue and will try to have a solution out as soon as possible. Unfortunately, with Apocrypha 1.0 back on March 10th we discontinued support of the linux client and we have never supported running EVE through Wine. What this means is that we can not guarantee that any solution we implement will correct this issue for anyone using EVE on a Linux machine. |
You can guess what the result was on that post. But after some rally and some people saying – take it easy there was a new post and there is a new patch – evepremiumpatch88517-88737_m.exe. And you can find it at http://ccp.vo.llnwd.net/o2/evepremiumpatch88517-88737_m.exe
So runing this again:
|
1 |
env WINEPREFIX="/home/xxx/.wine" padsp wine explorer /desktop=0,1280x1024 download/eve/evepremiumpatch88517-88737_m.exe |
And after that my beloved EVE works as it should.
