Successful install of EVE Online: Rhea.

## Packages

Per https://bugs.winehq.org/show_bug.cgi?id=36139#c13, from multilib, you will need to install/have lib32-libxml2 before you will be able to install EVE. My system had several other multilib libraries already, so if there are any dependencies I already had, please edit them in.

- multilib/lib32-libxml2
- lib32-libldap - needed to run eve online

## Installing EVE Online

In a fresh WINEPREFIX, follow the directions at https://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=version&iId=25823 under "HOWTO - Eve Online install on Linux". You should be able to run the normal launcher with wine > 1.7 as noted, instead of running ExeFile.exe directly.

## Troubleshooting

### Performance

If you are on a multi-core processer and are experiencing occasional multi-second freezes, instead of running wine directly, add "taskset -c 0 wine ...". This forces the EVE process to stay on one of your cores, preventing very slow context switches (every 20-30 seconds). If you are not experiencing freezes, this will probably decrease performance, and is not recommended.

### Wine errors and font incompatibilities

Running the installer (several post-Rubicon versions tried) on wine-1.7.36 with the "ttf-ms-fonts" AUR package installed results in wine throwing "fixme:uniscribe:GSUB_apply_lookup We do not handle SubType 7" in a loop when trying to render the actual MS fonts on the installer, since the second installer page features an RTF/HTML-formatter EULA. This freezes the install process right after the first "Next >" button press. Uninstalling the "ttf-ms-fonts" package then re-running the installer works fine as a workaround.
