wine users - Aug 2009 - Wine and EVE

I know these topics exist, I have tried a multitude of them, but no show. My eve
stops each time at the eula. screen is black after the splash screen until the
eula tries to visit my screen. (for those not in the know, I just need to click
yes to actually play the game)

when running it through terminal, I get the following (... equals a lot of the
line above it)

bram at bram-desktop:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE$ wine eve.exe

So far I have:
Re-installed OS (to get a 32 bit kernel)
Reinstalled Wine (8 times as of now, using apt-get)
Compiled wine
Deleted that
run winetricks corefonts
run winetricks dx9
manually added arial.ttf whereever the word Font was found
Edited the registry so all instances of font would also point to
/windows/fonts/arial.ttf

I think I have followed some 5 guides to get it working, I have asked a friend,
and fiddled about 8 hours with it, to no avail. I cannot ask on the EVE forums,
because they have a brilliant forum which requires you not only to wait 72 hours
after applying, but also to make a character before you get to ask a question
(that, I found out yesterday).

What am I doing wrong? I am no hero in terminal, but I refuse to believe
persistence is this futile.
While I am a fan of trying everything in any combination, I am well aware of
exponential multiplication of options, and would be looking at some 40 hours
dedicated installing (compiling/installing Wine and installing the game mostly).

I run an AMD 2800+ with a nvidea9600, though that cannot work at full specs due
to a 1.0 pci-e slot on my k8n4e.

I tried to run this in Ubuntu 9.04, but kubuntu 8.10 and 9.04 would not let me
play as well. This Ubuntu install is not important, it was just to try
everything until I got it working.

Latest wine, of course 1.1.27

have you tried adding (space)-opengl after the .exe?


I still hang if I try d3d graphics, but it loads with opengl. Note: I am 
using an older wine version than you are so that difference may have 
been fixed in your version, but it might be worth a try of you haven't yet.

I did now. I get the same errors, and the same black screen after which there is
a blank eula.

I suspect it cannot show something because of the black screen. but how to fix
it I don't know.

Have you tried messing with the regedit? When I have a black screen on a game I
first check wine regedit. in AppDB for EVE they suggest you set the value of
these strings to this

[Software\\Wine\\Direct3D]
"DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl"
"MaxFragmentUniforms"="1024"
"MaxVaryings"="52"
"MaxVertexUniforms"="1024"
"OffscreenRenderingMode"="fbo" (if you have graphical
glitches with interface, cange it in "Backbuffer" )
"PixelShaderMode"="enabled"
"VertexShaderMode"="hardware"
"VideoMemorySize"="(you videocard memory here)"

I did. I had 512 Mb there for a spell, but changed to the right number would not
change my game experience
