#Run the game through the newly-created launcher shortcut!

==Using a Custom Wine Version==

The copy of wine bundled with the launcher is quite outdated, but thankfully you can use your distribution's own wine runtime instead which gives access to things like DirectX11 support.

#Open the launcher settings with the small "E" symbol in the top right, tick "Use custom Wine", and in the box below it enter the path of your wine executable, eg.

#:{{code|/usr/bin/wine}}

#Remove EVE's existing wineenv folder

#:{{code|rm -Rd ~/.eve/wineenv}}

#Reopen the launcher and start the game as normal.

#EVE's wine prefix should rebuild itself with the custom version.
