Problem with EVE-Online

Darkslayer · Post by **Darkslayer** » Fri May 29, 2009 5:27 pm

Hey all I'm using Wine 1.1.22 and I'm having a hell of a time getting Eve-Online to work.
I downloaded eve, installed it into Wine, everything seem to go well, no problems.
However I when I run it it shows the prescreen and then seems to close itself and just shows the Wine Desktop.

When I run it in form the Command Shell this is what I get:
darkslayer@darkslayer:~/.wine/drive_c/Program Files/CCP/EVE$ wine Eve.exe
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered

No Idea where I would get these Library, any help would be great.

Hmm. Does putting an empty file named 'DNSAPI.dll' in system32 help?

Most those errors list 'vivox' which is part of the in game voice
communication. If you have a Windows install available go to
windows/system32 and grab DNSAPI.dll from there. There may also be a
hosting site online that has the file if you do not have a Windows
install available. Looks like Vivox is using parts of that and the game
get confused when it's not found.

No...it's saying it can't find the DLL *at all*. Likely looking for
the dll itself to exist in system32, rather than using LoadLibrary.

Thanks guys, copying that file from the Windows folder worked great.
But now I'm running into another problem.

Now I'm running into an error msg that says "Your computer does not meet the minium requirements for Eve. You need to have a graphics card that supports Shader Model 2 or higher."

Now I'm using an ATI X1650 that is powerful enough, however I can't find any drivers for it. I've gone to a couple of Linux and forums and it seems that everyone says that if you ATI and Linux you are screwed unless you have the lastest and greatest.

If you guys know any tricks that might make it work let me know please.

Thanks

Can you see if simply adding a placeholder dll to tool/wine.inf has
the same effect?

It's a wine bug, it really should be fixed.

I haven't read the whole thread but here's some posts on the Eve forum
about this that might have some ideas:

http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.as ... ID=1033885

From a quick scan of the thread it looks like you will want the
official ATI driver, newest version, not the open source driver. There
is also mention in the thread of a patch for wine that properly installs
some msv(something).dll but the thread is a few months old so you may
need to dig at winehq and see if that patch is built into newer wine
versions already.

The message seems to happen because Eve uses it's patching program to
decide if your card/drivers are good enough and something with that
patching program and wine doesn't work right for Eve to recognize your
card/driver properly. Again, that's a quick scan of the thread and not
having checked changes for newer wine versions, so you may have to do
some searching to track it down. It does look like you should be able to
get it working fine with that card, though.

This does not resolve the issue.

I'd be glad to try this, as I'm having the same problem. Could you elaborate a little bit, please?

Find tools/wine.inf...if you installed from a binary package, it's
likely in /usr/share/wine/tools/wine.inf.

Search for the DLL placeholder section, and add dnsapi.dll to the
list. Run 'wineboot' and look in ~/.wine/drive_c/system32, and it
should be there.

Thanks

Thats somehow true unfortunatly

I played EVE with ATI (old one, 9500) under W2k before, with no problems until CCP, the makers of EVE, changed something with some libraries needed and which W2k couldnt provide. Then I changed to Linux and it was impossible to make EVE work properly. I finally bought a Nvidia and that was like a revelation

You dont need a very new modell. Right now I have a 7950 and I think a 7600 or even 6800 would be enough.

First I did:

Code: Select all

denali@mountain:~$ cd /                          
denali@mountain:/$ sudo find | grep "wine.inf"
[sudo] password for denali:                   
./opt/cxgames/lib/wine/infosoft.dll.so        
./opt/cxgames/share/wine/wine.inf             
./usr/local/lib/wine/infosoft.dll.so          
./usr/local/share/wine/wine.inf               
./home/denali/.wine/drive_c/windows/inf/wine.inf
./home/denali/cxgames/lib/wine/infosoft.dll.so  
./home/denali/cxgames/share/wine/wine.inf       
./home/denali/wine/tools/wine.inf.in            
./home/denali/wine/tools/wine.inf

Out of those, I decided to modify ./usr/local/share/wine/wine.inf. I added:

Code: Select all

11,,DNSAPI.dll

to the [FakeDllsSection] of the file. I ran wineboot, then wine "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe. I received the same error.

You've got wine in both $HOME/wine and /usr/local/...which binary are
you running?

If you're running /usr/local, then yeah, you did it right. I wasn't
sure if it would work, but it was worth a try

. It probably needs
unimplemented stuff in dnsapi.

The one in $HOME is my git repository and is only used for configure/compiling the biweekly release. "Which" says I'm using /usr/local/bin/wine for execution.

I'm not a programmer, but I can pressure test stuff and file detailed reports. How would I be able to ascertain what is missing?

Ok, Hans Leidekker solved the DNSAPI.dll issue (http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=18986#c1) for me.

Now with that resolved, eve will still not start. The splash screen comes up and then it dies back to a prompt. It gives the following information:

Code: Select all

denali@mountain:~$ wine "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not registered

fixme:heap:HeapSetInformation 0x8d0000 0 0x33fc70 4

With the exception of the ole error, nothing that I can see that would cause this. Any suggestions?
