EVE Online Tips

Installation Instructions

NOTE: Appears to be not required. Latest CrossTie (tested this evening works with no issues)

 

After having to do a few recent installs for friends of EVE under Fedora and CentOS, here is the simple install instructions for getting EVE installed easily under Crossover Games 10.3.0.  I am going to try my best to make this generic, but still detailed.  From what I have researched, this is sufficient instructions to make EVE work on all Linux platforms.  I have abandoned MacOS, and haven't had time to test this on FreeBSD.  If you have any issues, try using the CLI to launch EVE (copy the command from the desktop icon), and see if you have any missing dependencies.  One one system I saw that gnome-keyring.i686 was not there, and installation of it made things work.  YMMV.


1. Download the offline downloader or the web downloader (both work)
2. Fire up Crossover "Install Windows Software"
3. Select "EVE" for the Application.
4. Select your install file(s)
5. Install into a new bottle
6. Begin install
7. Follow the onscreen prompts for the fonts and soforth
8. The DirectX that EVE wishes to install will barf.  This error will APPEAR to hose the install.  It does not.  Click thru it and finish the installation.
9. Launch EVE
10. Patch eve
11. After patching, go into the settings and disable audio.
12. Login and play
