I've freshly installed EVE Online, build 590158.
After installation, when launched, the launcher says - "Offline mode", couldn't connect, etc. etc.

What's wrong?

This is the Wine console log:



$ env WINEPREFIX="/home/ondra/.wine" wine C:swhryEveOnlineeve.exe

What is going on:

At bootstrap the game tries to load the libraries, it cannot find them and then crashes or does nothing.

Possible reason:
You are missing some libraries (redistributables and/or common DLLs) that must be installed first.

Proper installation steps:

Before you start you might want to read first about winetricks

From WineHQ database page (HOWTO - Eve Online install on Linux):

You will need to install a number of required libraries with winetricks.

"winetricks corefonts d3dx9_36 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010" if this does not work try:
- wget http://winetricks.org/winetricks
- chmod +x winetricks
- "./winetricks corefonts d3dx9_36 vcrun2005 vcrun2008 vcrun2010"

wine Eve_Oline_Installer*.exe

Creating a new wine prefix

If you need/want to use wine different instances of "windows" for Eve. (Important if you have a lot of games with various installed dlls, and overrides that conflict.) Creating a new prefix is simple create the directory and add the WINEPREFIX to all wine and winetricks commands.

mkdir ~/wine_games

add "WINEPREFIX=~/wine_games/wine-eve" to all wine and winetricks commands.
