- run "wine winecfg" to setup/configure your wine install
- you can copy the Eve folder into ~/.wine/drive_c/ or install from scratch. (try without the cache folder first)
- copy arial.ttf to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/fonts/ (install ms corefonts package and then search for arial.ttf on your disk)
- install the d3d9x_30.dll by running the RedistD3DXOnly.exe in the bin dir
If Eve crashes/hangs after the character selection you need to add "voiceenabled=0" to ~/.wine/drive_c/windows/profiles/username/Local Settings/Application Data/CCP/EVE/settings/prefs.ini. This is needed if you have a voice enabled account or try to test on Singularity when voice is enabled there.
optional you might want to set VideoMemorySize to the amount of video ram for your gfx card
You need to disable sound ingame (prefs.ini) or any sound driver in winecfg.
