           Summary: EVE-Online does not run with ATi 4870x2; DirectX
                    failure?
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.1.7
          Platform: PC-x86-64
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: -unknown
        AssignedTo: wine-bugs at winehq.org
        ReportedBy: n.andrew.walsh at gmail.com


I managed to get EVE-Online working okay using onboard nVidia hardware this
summer, using the Classic version. However, I bought a nice new video card (ATi
chipset), and upgraded wine at the same time (I had it working, sorta, with a
pre-1.0.x version; this but applies to >=1.0.x). Now EVE will not load. I get
the splash screen, and the following generic errors:

wine .wine/drive_c/Program\ Files/CCP/EVE/eve.exe
err:ole:CoGetClassObject class {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc} not
registered
err:ole:CoGetClassObject no class object {9a5ea990-3034-4d6f-9128-01f3c61022bc}
could be created for context 0x1
fixme:mixer:ALSA_MixerInit No master control found on HDA ATI HDMI, disabling
mixer

Then ExeFile.exe stops running, and I'm back where I started.

If I re-install the game fresh, I do get to a login screen, but there are no
ships (just the flame trails behind them). I am told to install a patch. At the
end of the patching process, the patcher says it needs to reboot. I click okay:
and the program closes, but nothing happens.

It seems - from what I'm being told by an ATi dev on this thread:

http://phoronix.com/forums/showthread.php?t=13211&page=4

that this is a problem with direct rendering. Can the wine devs please let me
know if they can duplicate this problem? Contrary to the report on the AppDB, a
lot of people are having problems with this game.

Thanks,
