[SOLVED] WINE and Eve Online

Question

First off, I am not using 64bit.
Lately, running Wine and Eve-Online is fine.
However, when I Quit from the game menu...it freezes.
I actually have to x-it-out (the wine window), and a window pops up with
"A simulated logout was in the process and is not responding".. or some such thing
and then I can terminate it and get my desktop back.
I've seen several posts about this, but no resolve.

Did you try the aur package, I suggested earlier?

I compiled this again two-three days ago, and am seeing good effect in EVE in particular, with an nVidia 660, both with and without bumblebee.
I use PlayOnLinux to manage my WINE prefixes. It turns out the 1.7.18-CS-0.8-f1cf438 build is a build of the HEAD of that repository. So I switched to that WINE version, and yes, the problem is solved.
I also created a CSMT-enabling registry key. To do so, launch regedit, browse to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/Wine/Direct3D, right click and select New > String Value “CSMT”. Then, double click and set the string to “enabled”.
Thank you!
Neat!
Then the million isk question is, "Why does the CSMT build not display this issue?"
I just might have to put on my scuba gear and go diving into this some more when the schedule permits.
