Black screen with EVE mouse pointer

I just installed wine on a new Ubuntu 8.10 using the package from
http://wine.budgetdedicated.com/apt. I used the
http://winezeug.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/install-wine-deps.sh script to install
all dependencies. Then I downloaded the current EVE premium client
(version=5.20 build=70124 - Quantum Rise 1.0.1) and installed it. Everything
worked fine.
When I start EVE.exe ("wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe") the
spash screen is being shown but all I got after the slapsh screen is a black
screen where I can move my eve mouse pointer (see screenshot), nothing else
will happen after that point.

Run the program properly. See the FAQ.

It looks like the issue I'm having.

A workaround (if that's indeed your problem) is here:

@Francesco:

unfortunately it doesn't seem solve the problem if I just impose a lot of load
during the startup of eve.exe. 
I tried the script posted in the bug report you linked but no success.

@Austin: 
It would be helpful if you'd be more specific instead of posting no real
information. Si tacuisses, philosophus mansisses.

Though reading the whole thing will likely prevent other errors/problems.

Thank you for clarifying this, but I already read through this FAQ entirely.
Eve does not seem to be dependant on the current directory so it makes no
difference (in terms of the problem described) how I start it, may it be from
the very directory, by the desktop link that was created during installation
process or by something like env WINEPREFIX="/home/<username>/.wine" wine
"C:\Program Files\CCP\EVE\eve.exe". 
It just freezes after switching to the black screen after the splash.

Eve isn't dependent on it, but many apps are. I said it just in case/as future
advice.

Using an older wine version worked for me.

Which would imply a regression. Run a regression test:

I was getting these exact error messages as well under Fedora 10 with
wine-1.1.15-1 and an nVidia GeForce 8 series card.  After upgrading to the
180.44 nVidia driver the messages still appear, but I now get to the splash
screen.

Just for the record,

I had the same problem initially. However, it want away after installing a
native d3dx9_36.dll, and setting up the appropriate override.

Your mileage may vary.

I did the test again with 1.1.20, with .wine clean directory,  and all work
perfect, no external or native dll are required....

In my current installation, Eve run without external or native dll, this was
tested too with the currently Singularity Eve version (ver. 90412)

I'm using currently wine 1.1.22.

What the hell, this bug is still present in 1.1.22 and it got nothing to do
with dll overrides whatsoever.

Read the bug.

Provide a trace and we're still waiting for a regression test from when Austin
asked four months ago.

If it still exists, give us something to work with...
