How to install ED on Linux using Wine [EXPERIMENTAL, NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED]
Use a dinput8.dll 64 bits version to get the keyboard control schemes appear .. my post took time getting approved by the mods and got stuck in the previous page .
So, I have gotten everything to launch, but I'm still stymied by the "Login Failed" error. I don't know (and seemingly can't verify) that this is caused by the CRC issue.. I'm on my <nth> reinstall now, after trying to set all the MachineGuids to the same.
The debugging instructions (to generate a netlog) don't seem to work - I just get a simple netlog file, always, nothing debug worthy (certainly no network handshake data as indicated in https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43464#c4 and subsequent comments). Shame, because it looks like the game would run lovely here otherwise (the demo loads and runs smooth as butter with DXVK). Any thoughts what might be wrong? As far as I can tell, this isn't the "CRC" error, I can't find evidence of that anywhere - but I don't know for certain because descriptions of it seem sparse.
I found a third MachineGuid location by the way - under the Users registry (Frontier/Cryptography), which I also fixed to the same.

Code:
~/ed$ fgrep "MachineGuid" *
grep: dosdevices: Is a directory
grep: drive_c: Is a directory
system.reg:"MachineGuid"="074a02af-1306-4e4a-9a2f-4dcb42d9746c"
system.reg:"MachineGuid"="074a02af-1306-4e4a-9a2f-4dcb42d9746c"
user.reg:"MachineGuid"="074a02af-1306-4e4a-9a2f-4dcb42d9746c"It looks like my previous post never appeared here, which is sad. Does anyone have any insights into why the authentication is failing? This is all I can ever get to. I don't _think_ it's the CRC error. I notice that a watchdog process is running in parallel with ED. Is it possible that they're now validating and preventing Linux running at all?

The Watchdog process has been there since before release; I assume that is part of Windows anti tampering, but as far as I know does not object to the game running under Linux, or else none of us would have been able to log in. Can't see your image yet, imgur is being slow here.
I noticed that too, there's something with the way the parameters of the command line that the Edlaunch is trying to execute with the wine version, what I do is in another window capture the running command line of EliteDangerous64.exe , "ps -ef | grep -i .exe" and then executing it from the same directory of the exe "..products/elite-dangerous-64/" , adding double quotes and a space to the exe params to get in. Like this :
Code:
wine EliteDangerous64.exe "wseed xxxxx" "ServerToken xxxx xxxx " "/language English\\UK" "SeasonXX"The token as far as I tested last for 2 days, so you can use the same command line instead of using the EdLaunch.
If you done the registry fix as stated here: https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showt...e-EXPERIMENTAL-NOT-OFFICIALLY-SUPPORTED/page6
It's quite possible you haven't got vc runtime overrides set in winecfg, or you got them set for the wrong wine executable maybe?
I have done the registry fix. I found more instances of the MachineGuid that were wrong too, and fixed them as well. (see my first post - I have set all 3 to the same value). What vc runtime overrides? Is this discussed anywhere? I followed the front page post exactly - it mentions nothing about library overrides. I removed the quartz override (and things seem to behave a little better in the launcher now) because 3.18 doesn't need that apparently.
My current overrides are d3d11, dxgi and mscoree.
Note: It looks like my first post today (at 1231pm EDT) is still "awaiting moderator approval".

You can just copy the Elite installation aside, then set up a new wineprefix, copy it back and repair installation or 'reinstall' and it will see the existing files.
OK. So I _had_ run winetricks vcrun2012, because it was installed. For some reason, the overrides were _not_ present however. As soon as I ran winetricks vcrun2012 again, it popped up the "do you want to uninstall the VC 2012 bindings" window, which I just cancelled, and I had half a dozen new lib overrides.
To the OP: you might want to add in that it is probably necessary to run the vcrun2012 step _again_ after you've fixed everything, to get those overrides in properly.
OK, so now I'm looking for the custom wine-staging that has the unicode keyboard fix (I can't see where Eagleboy might have shared it, and I can't see a reasonable fork of wine-staging/wine-staging). It looks like that's going to be important to actually _play_ the game, but yes, confirming that I am 100% launching into the game now, and it seems everything except keyboard bindings works fine. Looks like I have a lot of ED in my future, because dual boot sucked and so I haven't played in about 2 years.

Yes, regarding sharing code for the fix I will figure out something today/tomorrow morning.
Ok, so if you want to have staging with NormalizeString patches added, here's archive till we figure out more proper way.

Applies as any other staging source - patches/patchinstall.sh DESTDIR=/dir/to/vanilla/wine/source --all

If you need any help with rpms, let me know.
The rpms linked yesterday are linked against a different version of libjpg amongst other likely problems. I'm on Debian Sid. It's easiest to build from source rather than faff around. If you have a patch, I can fix it up to apply against the wine-staging GitHub.
This post has been overlooked (another has already said their post went through moderation).
While this fixes the remaining issue with the presets with mouse and keyboard, it also breaks joysticks/controllers.
Can anyone figure out how to get Joysticks working with this fix?
Thanks, looking into it. I have done a preliminary merge into the wine-staging github mainline. Now to get wine to build...
I don' t have a Joystick but I think that xinput9 dll is the one used to recognize joysticks / gamepads .
Nope even with using winetricks to do xinput native, dinput native still kills joystick support. Game controllers in the wine control panel disappears and the only way to enable it again is setting dinput to builtin again.
