    EVE Online Launcher

    As some of you in the linux Eve online community will no doubt know, CCP upgraded EVE's launcher and it's stopped working.

    I'm still about to login using
    Code:
    wine "C:\Program Files\CCP\Eve\bin\exefile.exe"
    and
    Code:
    wine "C:\Program Files\CCP\Eve\repair.exe"
    to do the updates.

    When I run the normal launcher though, it starts, but there's no EULA text or logon buttons. Image

    Anyone got it working?

    It worked fine for me right after the update, but after closing the problem once i experience kinda the same problems.
    The launcher opens, but i dont get the "launch" button to start the game.

    Re: EVE Online Launcher

    Are you able to update via the repair.exe and connect and play still?

    Once I got the launcher working, it gave an error code 7 in the launcher itself. I had to right click and drag across the error message because the text was black-on-black. I then ran repair.exe, then rebooted Kubuntu. Eve launched just fine afterwards.

    What libraries are you using in wine?
    Since i cannot launch EVE, even after the repair.exe is run.
    And now i get a repair.exe error when i try run it again. Soooo something is not right.

    I've still not got the launcher working. My DLL override libraries as shown in winecfg are:

    d3dx9_24 through d3dx9_42;
    msvcr100 (native, builtin);
    msvcr80 (native, builtin);
    msvcr90 (native, builtin);
    mscrt (native, builtin);

    Re: EVE Online Launcher

    Having the same issue. It looks like the block that requests the login details fails somehow. You can see some text underneath:

    Error -7 when loading url https://login.eveonline.com/oauth/authorize/?client_id=eveLauncherTQ&lang=en&response_type=tok en&redirect_uri=https://login.eveonline.com/launcher?client_id=eveLauncherTQ&scope=eveClientTo ken"
    If I find a way to go around this I'll mention it on this thread

    Thanks. I've got it working in the way I described above (without the launcher) but if they change it in the future to require the launcher my workaround won't work.

    D'oh! Sorry I've missed the 's' in program files. Try this:

    wine "C:\Program Files\CCP\Eve\bin\exefile.exe"

    (I'll edit my original post)
