--- Comment #60 from Philip Belemezov philip.belemezov@gmail.com 2009-11-04 09:31:28 --- I've just read this thread on the EVE forums: http://www.eveonline.com/ingameboard.asp?a=topic&threadID=1195604
To summarize:
Apparently, this problem is network related, specifically to BITS, and has only been observed with the kernel Ubuntu 9.10 uses.
The workarounds are:
1) Disable networking prior to starting EVE (not very convenient) 2) Disable BITS (set bitsCancelled to 0 in your prefs.ini file). Here's the script I use:
#!/bin/sh
sed -i 's/bitsCancelled=1/bitsCancelled=0/' /opt/eve/drive_c/windows/profiles/me/Local\ Settings/Application\ Data/CCP/EVE/c_program_files_ccp_eve_tranquility/settings/prefs.ini
WINEPREFIX="/opt/eve" padsp wine explorer /desktop=0,1680x1050 "C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe"
