eve online freezes on start (wine graphics detection issue)

Hi,

Basically my problem is - i'm getting

err:winediag:X11DRV_WineGL_InitOpenglInfo The Mesa OpenGL driver is using software rendering, most likely your OpenGL drivers haven't been installed correctly

When trying to start eve online.

I'm using Arch x86_64 on Dell Latitude e4300.
My graphic chip is Intel GMA 4500MHD, with working intel driver (direct rendering works as per glxinfo).
Wine version is 1.37.

Ist this a wine issue? Any chance of convincing wine that my direct rendering works?

Any info appreciated, thanks in advance.

Check out http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Insta … _with_wine
(pay specific attention to http://wiki.eveonline.com/en/wiki/Insta … _with_EVE)

And follow up on https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 32#p731532

From what I understand, the problem lies with you not having certain OpenGL libraries. Or a graphics option is not set within Wine. (I can be wrong of course.)

Hope you can get it solved. Cheers.

Do you have the lib32-libgl ?

Re: eve online freezes on start (wine graphics detection issue)

installing lib32-libgl (and enabling texture compression with driconf so textures are actually rendered) fixed it, thanks.

I can now login/enter game.
I'm now getting

Nov 18 18:07:27 e4300 kernel: [drm:i915_hangcheck_elapsed] *ERROR* Hangcheck timer elapsed... GPU hung

when trying to undock. Which is probably known intel driver issue/bug as i find a lot of hits in google (also here in testing repo forum section).

But at least i can now trade/change skills/chat/spin ships...

EDIT: With xf86-video-intel-git i can actually undock and fly around for 2-3minutes before it hangs.
