Can I play the mmo "Eve-online" on Linux Mint 14?

Hi. I'm totally new to this linux thing and I want to know if i can install Eve using wine.
I googled it and found out that most linux users are using Ubuntu to run Eve.

I have the latest version, "Nadia".

yes i dont see why not. but i would recommend you install 32bit linuxmint if you want to make use of wine.

32bit mint detects more than 4Gb ram, so no worries there.

I thought 32 bit was the one with the ram cap.

[raymerjacque]

in windows yes, not in linux. Linuxmint 32bit is PAE enabled and detects all your ram.

IS there anyone here willing to guide me in installing the game?

[emarnesu]

Thanks. I'm installing the game right now. Hope this works.

It doesn't work. Might it be important to install in the default location? I put in my home folder instead.
*edit*install folder does not matter*

The startup screen loads but the game doesn't start.

Well. I guess playing eve is a lost cause for a while. Thanks for attempting to help though.

Eve online works perfect in Wine. as you can see here : http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.p ... ngId=76283 It recieved Silver ratings in most casing and gold in 12.10 which is what mint kernel is based on.

Your options are 1 of two :

1. You can through that page, find your errors and read how to fix them.

or

2. You do as i suggested the first time around and install 32bit mint and then install wine and Eve and you should have it working in just a few clicks.

How can I figure out if I have 32-bit or not? I think I chose the 32-bit version because I don't have more than 4gb ram.

Thanks for the reply.
