is there decent compatibility under WINE?

Worked well when earlier threads were started, still works well now. More or less identical to how it plays on Windows once you get it going.
Standard spiel about gotchas:
1) P99 patch files copy over dsetup.dll, but the filename is in the wrong case relative to the Titanium install. Linux filesystems are case sensitive, so you'll have to take care that dsetup.dll is actually replaced with the newer version when you unzip the patch files.
2) Per threads such as
this ancient one from last month, you will likely need to set VertexShaders = FALSE in eqclient.ini, otherwise mob models will be invisible.
3) If you play over wifi, there is sometimes a(n inexplicable) issue where the server select screen is blank, sometimes to the extent that it takes 50 tries or more to get in. This is separate from other loginserver issues and only seems to affect (random) Linux machines, and particularly (only?) over wifi. The server list packets are all delivered fine, but the client just chokes on them. If you run into this issue, I made a utility that works around this: details starting
here and an example bash script to automatically turn it on when you're starting up EQ
here.
