P1999 on linux

[Kulo]

I'm trying to get p1999 working on Linux Ubuntu. I have titanium on a flash drive and brought it over to Ubuntu. Now I go over to the launch titanium icon and nothing happens. Any thoughts? Thx all

You might want to try running it from the command line so that you can see what error message gets outputted.

this is the error :

C:\Program Files\EverQuest>Launch Titanium.bat

C:\Program Files\EverQuest>start eqgame patchme

Wine Desktop: If the app fails to run, try running it in a fake desktop. It can work around errors, such as

"Error - Unable to set the video mode."

The terminal will say something like "err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 640x480x8 @0! (XRandR)" "no valid modes"

or

X Error of failed request BadPixmap | BadDrawable with games.

This can be set in winecfg for each app since 0.9.61 or from the command line:

wine explorer /desktop=foo,1024x768 somegame.exe

Your getting a direct draw error either the above information will help or setting your video cards drivers in wine will.

Thanks for the read, went back and retried doing eq on mine and I get a similiar issue (new to linux/trying to get eq on ubuntu) I must have missed it the first time when I posted in the other thread

I had to change start eqgame patchme to just eqgame.exe patchme

You might also try PlayOnLinux.

If you're using XFCE disable panel boarder reservation for fullscreen.

Oh yea, saw your error.

Go to eqclient.ini and set windowedmode=true
you may also have to set vertexshaders=false

Also should have installed dx in wine
Also verify your 3d driver is installed.

fullscreen seems to have issues so try windowed first.

err:x11settings:X11DRV_ChangeDisplaySettingsEx No matching mode found 1280x720x32 @0! (XRandR)
perhaps xrandr is unable to change to the res in eqclient.ini
try windowed and set a well known resolution in eqclient.ini like 1024x768
then once its working try different modes in game.
