I doubt CCP would ever have a linux version out soon, but you can register your support for EVE to work under WINE, the Linux Windows emulator which has a lot of DirectX 9 support, but not quite enough to get EVE running past the splash screen.
As you can see in the list below, EVE is already listed in the top 25 applications most wanted to fully work under Linux, but is behind many other games, including WoW.

If you would be interesting in being able to play EVE on a Linux OS, register with the WINE app db website and register your vote (or all 3 votes!) for the game.

That response........from you........surprised me. The OP isn't asking for for a port specifically........rather giving people information.
Elitest? Arrogant? You spread the smack there with a broad brush methinks. I use Linux....for EVERYTHING....except EVE. I'm testing the EVE client under Cedega and giving feedback in our forums (tech) and also in the transgaming cedega forums, so I won't have to dual boot at some point.
Arrogant? I just got tired of mal/ad/spy/you-name-it/ ware, paying for Antivirus support, etc., etc. I still have an XP partition I irritatingly call my WIN-EVE-tendo side, so I can play the game. I'd love nothing more than at some point in THE NEAR FUTURE be able to delete that partition and have the room available for my primary operating system.
If that makes me arrogant........so be it. I thought it made me practical, and ABLE to spend more money on a longer EVE sub. (Money saved from AV software alone helped there.)
p.s. the OP should really look down in the Tech forum. We have a nice home and thread down there that has been working for quite awhile on information exchange about linux/wine/ports etc. We do feel neglected from any dev response, but hey, us ARROGANT types can deal with that.

Staggeringly stupid, that is. Why should someone pay 100$ just to play EVE? Do you clean Microsoft's toilets for a living or something?

Edited by: Sevarus James on 12/02/2006 05:12:25 From the responses here from trolls..........I felt as if I'd dropped away from EVE's more "mature" base into a WOW style forum or something. SHEESH people. The OP wasn't screaming for a port. He's giving out GOOD information. Please, if you don't have anything constructive to add, why in the hell are you posting smack?
Of course if the idea is start an OS flame war, you picked a silly thread to do it in. The argument isn't over WHAT IS BETTER, rather a post for us to get the WINE dev's to give additional attention to getting WINE working with EVE.
If you would have READ the OP you'd have realized this. Of course tis' easier to smack and flame, huh?
VISTA= NEXT VERSION OF XP. DRM= Digital Rights Management (iirc). An evil way to lock down information, and a seriously bad invasion of privacy. (imho).

Well, guess I won't be going out of my way to try it out in any form. I'll stick to my XP, even if they basically force you to upgrade by dropping support.

Those who still view Linux as something difficult and inferior have yet to learn the operating system. As a programmer and heavy patcher of the Linux kernel, I've learned that it's mostly fear of something unfamiliar that keeps people in the dark about the OS. I've said my peice, and voted for EVE support in the Linux WINE emulation project. ------------------- "It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change." - Charles Darwin |

If I didn't play computer games I would have stopped using windows around 5 years ago. If you have a bit of technical knowledge and a little patience just about everything else can be done on Linux for less money and less hassle.

I asm specifically moving that EVE NOT be released under Linux now. I dont want them to port it over, I want them to fix the bugs that are in it yet.
This isnt a winge about bugs already in it, it's a huge game, I appreciate there will be bugs, but still, they need to be ironed out. Just use Windows already, for christ's sake... If you dont meet the minimum requirements to play the game, CCP shouldn't be expected to modify the game and release a whole new version for the minority of gamers. -- bumcheekcity

yeah, how bout no?
Which of the 1500 flavors of linux will be supported? What about the varying qualities of the different drivers, the cobbled-together graphics support? What if I use Gnome instead of KDE? What if I run Solaris and am running a preview of Looking Glass?
Linux User: "Hi, I'd like some tech support please" Eve Tech Support: "sure what can we do for you?" LU: "Well, I'm having problems running Eve under linux" ETS: "Okay, what version of linux?" LU: "I'm running Gentoo with KDE. I haven't worked out the stupid bugs in the opengl drivers, but it should work anyway, right?" ETS: "Sir, we only support RedHat 9 with Gnome." LU: "Uh, what about Knoppix?" ETS: "Nope" LU: "Uh, Mandrake? I can run Gnome under mandrake I have it right here on my 15th partition!" ETS: "Nope" LU: "How about Solaris? I'll install it on my company's SunFires!" ETS: "Solaris isn't linux, n00b" LU: "Can you please help me make it work??!" ETS: "You're screwed, not to mention a gimp (pun intended) for trying to run a game on a cobbled together 'unix-like' OS. BSD forever! Long live real Unix OS'!"

I don't give three flying ****s what you think of me or my image.
As for the rest of you, I stand by my statement. Linux is an underdeveloped and unsupported OS. If you want to use your computer for industrial purposes, get a real Unix OS. If you want to run consumer products, you need to get Windows. The world of consumer software is built for Windows, and that's the bottom line. In the end, I find that many people using Linux don't use it because Linux is a good OS, but rather because they just hate Microsoft and want to avoid any MS product like the plague. I don't like running my car's air-conditioner with CFC-free freon, but I accept that it's a reality and resisting it is moronic. -------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk

Good f'in gawds pull the blinders off. It has NOTHING to do with a port. So get the frick over yerself. sheesh.

I never said anything about a port. MY point was that people need to stop searching for a way to run Windows programs without Windows. I defy you to find the word "port" anywhere in my response. -------------------------------------[04:04:04] Tom Thumb > for a nut case you rawk

Then, you actually don't have anything constructive to say in this thread which is of importance to those of us who actually DO give a fig. So you are just tryin' to jack the thread with self important known nothing dreck. I see. And I'm so not surprised how by this?

Wouldnt it be an issue to bring up with the WINE devs rather than ccp if its an issue with the dx9 support. Eve definately works 100% in directx9 on windoze so its not ccp making it not work.

Love how ppl that program try and tell ppl its easy :P IMHO the world would have been a better place if BeOS had gotten off the ground, linux is jus, well, messy. |

Guys, I already read reports of guys playing EVE successfully on linux using Cedega.
I have not tried it myself but what I heared it works well enough to play, even though there are some minor restrictions.

again, the OP was pointing us linux 'wine' users to the wine forums to vote for additional support for eve. Unlike some of the folks who cant read for some reason, this is to add 'voice' to the WINE developers to take a look at some of the issues we're still experiencing with wine and eve.
To be clear, under Cedega (wineX port for games), EVE DOES run. Just not completely stable yet. There are some additional dx9 issues that are being addressed. Under wine (which is free, as in beer), there are more issues as wine itself is a more 'generic' platform for running windows programs under linux. Does it work? Yes it does. Is it perfect? Nope. But until the devs supporting it know that there's an issue with an application, they won't take a look.
That's all this was originally about...till the hijacking began.........which is for some reason, usual in this forum. shrugs.

You pay more than that to play eve every year. Also, second hand Windows 98 SE copy will cost you $15 or less. -

As someone has already mentioned you can run eve on linux if you use cedega, that is the setup i have and the game runs perfectly well, the only issue i have is that the escape key does not work in game it locks the game up, so i don't use the escape key! I have been playing eve for about 2 months now and with no issues, i was even able to update eve to rmr from within cedega which i thought was pretty cool
