Hiyas... Hoping someone here has experience running P99 or any EQEmu client under linux. I currently have it running fine under Manjaro linux, but the jaggies are driving me crazy.
Is there a way to enable anti-aliasing inside of wine similar to how I can make the Nvidia driver in windows apply it to eqgame.exe?
I don't understand all the nuances of wine+vulkan+nvidia :(
Anyone been able to have AA in P99 on wine?

Thanks :)

Best tool for the job. Use Windows.

Fonts look fantastic in wine / eq (better than Windows in my opinion) on a default install of PopOS with Nvidia. Font rendering on Linux is still voodoo magic to me, so I can't say why though.

Been running in Linux for years without issue ... and without all that, you know ... Windows crap.

Nice 🙂. Were you able to have anti-aliasing turned on?

Thanks

The game definitely runs better on linux + wine... My only issue is the jaggies from not having anti-aliasing enabled. I know I wouldn't really need AA on if I ran at 1080p resolution, but then the ui is too small for me to see. Anyone know a way to scale the ui so it's not so tiny when playing at high resolutions?

I was able to resolve this issue on my own. I had been using lutris to launch the game. I uninstalled lutris and all versions of wine, then installed the newest wine version and created the needed scripts/links to run the game. This was with a 32bit wine prefix. Then installed winetricks and enabled multisampling through it as well as using regedit to set the sample rate. No more jaggies !
Thanks for all of your replies.

Glad you figured it out. As a side note, I added it to the wiki Tech Support page (https://wiki.project1999.com/Tech_Support:_Graphics_Problems#Problem:_Anti-Aliasing_Not_Working_in_Linux.2FWINE.2FLutris), in case anyone else runs into this.
