Originally by: Vahligmarr maybe because we (who get the mail) used the cedega official client? and wine users are counted like windows users???
Originally by: Thebro Nobrunder If I run eve in wine under linux does that show up in your statistics as a linux user or as a windows user?
The EVE client uses special hooks into the Cider and Cedega engines to identify the true platform. So the numbers are for the usage of the official Linux client. EVE clients run under Wine or CrossOver will report Windows as the platform. |

Originally by: Aurix Lexico It is very simple to check for wine. If the registry folder "HKEY_CURRENT_USER/software/wine" exists then it is wine, if not, it's windows. Do CCP really not check wine?
The Windows client on top of Wine is not the officially supported Linux client on top of Cedega that we are retiring. |

Originally by: Esme Nomarra If the number of actual Linux users is sufficiently large, then perhaps one could poll us to ask what solutions we use and how we woudl rate them, then if it looks doable, see if CCP could try to at least avoid breaking, if not actually helping with, the most favoured solution users actually use.
We have no plans to deliberately break Wine or CrossOver support.
Originally by: Esme Nomarra What I CAN imagine is that shifting from DirectX to OpenGL could be a huge undertaking
"Huge" doesn't really describe the potential size of such a project. |

You misunderstood what I meant. I just wanted to know if you check if the eve client is running under wine.
We don't, it reports Windows as the platform. We are retiring the support for the official Linux client running on top of Cedega, for which we have accurate numbers. |
