[Bug 16436] New: EVE-Online does not run with ATi 4870x2; DirectX failure?

http://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16436

Summary: EVE-Online does not run with ATi 4870x2; DirectX
                    failure?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.7
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]

I managed to get EVE-Online working okay using onboard nVidia hardware this
summer, using the Classic version. However, I bought a nice new video card (ATi
chipset), and upgraded wine at the same time (I had it working, sorta, with a
pre-1.0.x version; this but applies to >=1.0.x). Now EVE will not load. I get
the splash screen, and the following generic errors:

wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not
registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc}
could be created for context 0x1
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA ATI HDMI, disabling
mixer

Then ExeFile.exe stops running, and I'm back where I started.

If I re-install the game fresh, I do get to a login screen, but there are no
ships (just the flame trails behind them). I am told to install a patch. At the
end of the patching process, the patcher says it needs to reboot. I click okay:
and the program closes, but nothing happens.

It seems - from what I'm being told by an ATi dev on this thread:

http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13211&page=4

that this is a problem with direct rendering. Can the wine devs please let me
know if they can duplicate this problem? Contrary to the report on the AppDB, a
lot of people are having problems with this game.

Thanks,

EVE is now running (sorta) on my box. Upgrading to the 2.6.28 kernel allows the
game to run, but it will not load any textures (ie, ships, stations, objects,
etc). This is apparently a problem specific to 64-bit gentoo users, as you can
see in the AppDB forum.

However, while one user has it working, mine is still not fully functional. Can
one of the devs give tips on how to get textures to load? So I can see, you
know, all the objects. I'll post screencaps shortly.

Thanks,

See the EVE Linux forum, too.

EVE had a few problems of its own after the "Apocrypha" extension with models
not showing for example. Try using the latest EVE version/patch and upgrade to
WINE 1.1.24 - it fixes some graphics issues with various ATI and NVidia cards.

This is your friendly reminder that there has been no bug activity for 11
months. Is this still an issue in current (1.2-rc2 or newer) wine?

Eve, Wine and the ATI driver have all evolved.  Bugs have come and gone in 18
months, there's nothing specific listed here ... close it.

Have you tested EVE-Online with an ATI 4870 with wine-1.2-rc4 or latest git?

My solution to this bug was to buy an nVidia card, which I did a couple years
ago.

As evanh pointed out, EVE has also undergone numerous updates, so there's no
way to say the latest version works or not with this particular card without
testing it (which I can no longer do).

Unless some other user has this card, I see no reason to keep the bug open.

Cheers.
