Since the upgrade from wine 4.17 to wine 4.18 (both devel and staging) Eve
Online cannot be launched by its native linux launcher. This happened for
several users; one of them reported that a relevant error message is

0009:err:module:import_dll Library blue.dll (which is needed by L"
C:\\tq\\bin\\exefile.exe") not found

This regression is resolved after downgrading to wine-stable 4.02.

My system is ubuntu 19.10 with nvidia card, using proprietary drivers and
updated dxvk.
