ok, update. After installing corefonts i launced eve again and this time it worked well until i logged in and selected a character and bam. crashed. obviously becouse i don't have dx9 installed. So i do "sh winetricks directx9" and it goes through the installation and reports successfully finished. but just a second after clicking "finish" the code window continues: Code: Install of directx9 done winetricks done. knut@alternativ:~$ err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element err:alsa:ALSA_CheckSetVolume Could not find 'PCM Playback Volume' element fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA ATI HDMI, disabling mixer fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on PnP Audio Device , disabling mixer err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"streamci" fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 1 0x33f79c (nil) 0x33f7d4 fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 1 0x33f788 (nil) 0x33f7d0 fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub fixme:advapi:SetEntriesInAclA 1 0x33f7a8 (nil) 0x33f7f0 fixme:advapi:SetSecurityInfo stub err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"streamci" fixme:system:SetProcessDPIAware stub! fixme:dwmapi:DwmIsCompositionEnabled 0x33f008 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\xpcom.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\plds4.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\ssl3.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\softokn3.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\js3250.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\nspr4.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\nssckbi.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\smime3.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\freebl3.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\xul.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\plugins\npnul32.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found fixme:iphlpapi:NotifyAddrChange (Handle 0xd0e888, overlapped 0xd0e890): stub 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\nss3.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\plc4.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\nssutil3.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\nssdbm3.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found 0[2167f0]: nsNativeModuleLoader::LoadModule("C:\windows\gecko\0.9.1\wine_gecko\sqlite3.dll") - Symbol NSGetModule not found err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"streamci" err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"streamci" err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"streamci" err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"streamci" err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"streamci" err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"streamci" err:rundll32:WinMain Unable to load L"streamci" At this point it hangs and nothing happens. control+C exits.
