I had the same problem but it can be fixed by adding these lines to the bottom of your user.reg: [Software\\Wine\\Direct3D] 1228836470 "DirectDrawRenderer"="opengl" "OffScreenRenderingMode"="fbo" "PixelShaderMode"="enabled" "VertexShaderMode"="hardware" "VideoMemorySize"="256" BUT.... I have a different problem. I can add these lines before I start WINE for the first time, and EVE will load, however, if I start anything in wine again, it overwrites my user.reg with the default file, so Eve will no longer work. I have to restart X, add these lines again before starting wine, then start EVE every time. This is getting VERY frustrating. Any Ideas?
