One of the nasty things about the official linux client is that it doesn't play nice with a full cedega (one of the points Postlatta Mouseanon pointet out
here)
There is a fix which is describled in the
running-multiple-clients-howto in the kb (its not adressing the same topic but the procedure fixes this problem too)
in short:
- if you have cedega installed, and want to install the eve-client, rename your ~/.cedega folder to ~/.cedega.bak or soemthing (will be restored)
- install eve
- rename your NEW ~/.cedega to ~/.eve (or something)
- now edit your eve-shortcuts to say something like :
export CEDEGA_PATH=/home/USERNAME/.eve &&
$CEDEGA_PATH/.updater/cedegaUpdateChecker -GAME EveOnline-linux
- now rename your ~/.cedega.bak back to ~/.cedega
now everything eve-related runs in .eve, and .cedega stays clean of eve-engines
To the devs:
this fix is sooo easy, why do you even install eve in .cedega in the first place? if at least this could be changed i'll be quiet about why i have to copy my .eve folder to use multiple clients.
you wouldn't have to change existing intallation, but at least prevent problems in the future at installation time by installing to .eve. using CEDEGA_PATH seems to bee bullet proof, didn't had any problems so far
